The enhanced security features present in Mac OS X 10.6 prevent Adobe's PDF Printer from functioning as it did in previous versions (TechNote cpsid_50981).
I have an incompatibilty issue between Adobe Photoshop CS3 (and Dreamweaver CS4) and MAC OS Sierra. Problem compounded by absence of disc or serial number for Photoshop. Photoshop would not open until I downloaded Javaforosx.dmg, which I did. Subsequently I could not open Photoshop: ' Licensing for this project has stopped working'. Once installed, I also downloaded Java for OS X Download Java for OS X 2015-001 which, as I understand it, is needed to run the Adobe CS4 suite. After that I tried Photoshop, InDesign and Dreamweaver – and all apps work seamlessly with OS X Sierra on my iMac. (iMac (Retina 5K, 27″, end 2015 with Fusion Drive).

Responding to requests from film, broadcast and video professionals, Photoshop CS2 now allows non-destructive editing and the creation and editing of 32-Bit High Dynamic Range (HDR) images, ideal for 3D rendering and advanced compositing.
The new Camera Raw 3.0 workflow allows settings for multiple raw files to be simultaneously modified. In addition batch processing of raw files, to JPEG, TIFF, DNG or PSD formats, can now be done in the background without launching the main Photoshop executable. Integrated, non-destructive cropping and straightening controls allow raw files to be easily prepared for final output.
