Recently I have been having a very strange problem with Photoshop CS3. I would run the program for a week or so and then it would suddenly shutdown immediately after startup. Thus I couldn’t get Photoshop CS3 to startup at all. It was driving me crazy and I found there was no solution over at the Adobe forums. Well, after some trial and error, I happen to stumble upon a fix that seems to work very well. At the very least I am not having anymore startup problems with Photoshop CS3.

Here is what I did.

Browse to C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Adobe PCD\cache and delete the file named “cache.db“.

Presto! Photoshop CS3 starts right up without any problems at all. Awesome!

This photo was taken in a local Japanese Restaurant. I like to take my camera with me as much as I can and while waiting for lunch or dinner will take some shots if possible. Everyone thinks I’m a tourist anyway even though I’ve been in Japan for a long time, so I might as well make the best of it. The photo was taken with the Nikon D200 and 50mm f/1.4 lense. I have also done some texture layering with shots taken of some rocks with the Nikon 105mm VR along with other color techniques in Photoshop CS3.
