CS3 Design suite installed without a hitch (yes I had the Beta installed) For the most part everything is sweet, however I have encountered a few oddities that popup from time to time. The only occasional blips occur both with the standard suite and the premium suite. I had originally installed the standard suite, but then uninstalled it and installed the Premium suite, moving the standard suite to another machine.

Wonky PDFs
When creating multipage print quality pdf files to be sent to a Ducucolor 240, occasionally the prints are washed out and green. Reopen the file in CS2 and resave and file prints fine. This only happens from time to time, but every instance can be corrected by saving in CS2.

World’s Smallest Contact Sheet
When creating multiple contact sheets (8×10 @ 300ppi) from a folder of images and then printing to a networked laser printer, the first sheet (contact sheet 1) always prints about 1×1.5 inches in the upper left hand corner of paper. It happens whether I check scale to fit or not. This is only on contact sheet 1 and if I save it to my desktop, reopen and print again, it prints correctly.

The Amazing Disappearing Tiff Files
Occasional problem with large layered tif files (300-400 megs. I would open them by double-clicking, work on them and when I try to save I get a "file is locked" error message. When I go to check properties of the file it is gone! If I then save the file as a psd I have no further problems. These are original files (not copied from a cd) and have only resided on my local HD.

Don’t really know what this means, no deal breaker, just curious if anyone else had experienced these quirks.
