I just purchased a new Mac computer and then purchased Photoshop CS3. It doesn't work. I have been searching the internet and have now found that the newer Mac OS systems have caused issues with the CS softwares. PLEASE help! Is there anything I can do to remedy this?

Thank you.

Hi,

There could be compatibility issues as the software is old and the OS is the latest one.

Please specify the error message/code that you are getting.

If possible, please post a screenshot.

Regards,

‌I am not really getting an error message. It seems to load with no errors but when you open it, there is no grey work area. My desktop image remains and the tools are on the sides.
