Re: Girl in Rome

Hi Audrey - she is indeed very beautiful. I'm not sure about the way she has been off-set in this framing? What do others feel?

Re: Girl in Rome

I just wish that you had spoken to her Audrey. I'm sure that beautiful eyes would make this picture special.

I think you are right, but the pose that Audrey captured is great in its own way to me because she is looking down.

Re: Girl in Rome

Thanks Ian and Roger. I know what you mean Ian about the framing, although I am a very "Square" person and usually like a photo to be framed symmetrically, after I'd cropped all the other people out, it left this gap and I quite liked the old columns, so I left them.

Struggling atm to post more, as I've run out of the CS5 trial and can't activate my CS3, so I'm thinking about what to do about a Photo Imaging prog. I am using LR2, but am rubbish at cloning with it.

I like the picture, it's rather enigmatic - which makes it memorable imho. I certainly wouldn't clone out the towel or the Volvic bottle because it all adds to the scene, all adds to her situation.

Why can't you activate your CS3? Have you tried phoning Abobe uk? They're usually very helpful. They can enable a new activation if something went wrong ith your PC or laptop. They can cancel and old one and give you a new one - they once did that for me when a PC HD died and I'd used up my spare activation on a laptop.

Because it was given to me originally about 3 years ago. and the activation now shows a virus. I am assured that there is no virus, but my A/V signatures wont let me open it!

Is it installed? If so, see if you can de-activate.

Then uninstall and re-install and activate.

I presume you still have a copy of the activation code?

But you should still be ok if it was originally registered with Adobe in your own name. All you'd need to do would be to give them the serial number and they could sort if out for you. It wouldn't matter than it's an older version - they can still re-activate previous versions.

If it was an 'iffy' copy then there's nowt you can do - except treat yourself to your own, genuine full version and update every 2-4 years with the less expensive update discs.

How about Elements? Would that suit your needs?

Ian

But if you de-activate and uninstall then re-install, I'd have thought you'd generate a new activation code ... and the de-activation would surely nullify the older code.

De-activation is designed so that you can move your licence to a new computer, but it should work if your installation is faulty and you simply want to reinstall.

Re: Girl in Rome

Hi Autumn,
De-activating will not change your activation key or anything like that, I would suggest:
a. De-activate your CS3
b. Remove CS3 from your computer
c. De-activate your anti-virus programme
d. Re-install CS3 and activate it.

Ian is right, de-activation is intended for cases when you want to change machines, or if you need to change hardware, maybe a hard disk, and you risk having to re-install the OS. When you re-activate, the key should still be on your machine and CS3 will find it automatically.

Re: Girl in Rome

So, I found out how to disable AVG and Bob's your uncle, the activation worked. I now have CS3 again. Thanks all.
