Closest product to CS3 [CS3 is dead]

[PicturePerfectStudios]

I can't register CS 3 on my new hard drive, as I was told we now need to purchase photoshop again. What is the closed option to CS3? I am scaling my photography business back and really don't want to spend alot. I would like to be able to use Camera Raw though.

Thank you,

Laurie

Or, Creative Cloud Photography Plan is Photoshop & Lightroom for a bargain $10 per month (yearly commitment).

A professional photography studio still using 13 year old CS3 is rather surprising.  Creative Suite is no longer legally sold by any vendor, retailer or country.

Photoshop Elements 2020 -- a slimmed down version of Photoshop.  While it doesn't have all the bells & whistles of modern Photoshop CC, it's still a light year or two ahead of CS3 which is officially dead & gone since the activation servers were retired years ago.
