Can I Still Use Photoshop CS3?

Last updated on September 23, 2022 @ 9:01 pm

As of November 30th, 2019, Adobe Photoshop CS3 is no longer supported by Adobe, and therefore cannot be downloaded or installed from the Creative Cloud app. Anybody who still has CS3 installed on their computer will no longer receive security updates or bug fixes from Adobe. However, those with CS3 can continue to use it as normal.

So, is it safe to keep using Photoshop CS3? Well, it depends.

If you’re only using it for personal projects and don’t rely on it for work, then you should be fine continuing to use it. However, if you rely on Photoshop CS3 for professional purposes, then you’re putting yourself at risk by continuing to use an unsupported program. Not only will you not receive any security updates or bug fixes from Adobe, but you also won’t be able to open files created in newer versions of Photoshop.

PRO TIP: If you are thinking about using Photoshop CS3, be aware that it is an outdated program. While it may still work for some basic editing tasks, it is not supported by Adobe and lacks many features found in newer versions of Photoshop.

So, what’s the verdict? If you’re a casual user of Photoshop CS3, then you can continue using it without any problems. However, if you rely on Photoshop CS3 for professional purposes, then you should consider upgrading to a newer version.

The bottom line is that if you’re still using Photoshop CS3, it’s probably okay for personal use.
