Hello Whiz,
I don’t have much knowledge about the Abobe Photoshop CS3 compatibility with Lion. When I try to open the Adobe Photoshop CS3 I ended up with an error message, saying not connected to the internet and need to install java runtime. After this error I check the internet connection it is perfect, then I downloaded the java update and also the system update. But still I am getting error. Help me please.
Error:
To open “Adobe Photoshop CS3,” you need to install a Java runtime, but you are not connected to the internet.
To install a Java runtime later, open “Adobe Photoshop CS3” again.
Adobe Photoshop CS3 is asking to install a Java runtime
Well, Adobe PhotoshopCS3 works fine with Lion. But, you will find one problem with this i.e. you cannot run Adobe Photoshop CS3 without Rosetta installed. If ever there is a shed of PowerPC code remain in any of the application then the said application will not run as Lion does not come with Rosetta. Which means that if you ever need to re-install Adobe PhotoshopCS3, you will need to do it on a Snow Leopard system and then update on Lion again.

You receive that error because Adobe Photoshop CS3 requires JRE or Java Runtime Environment and since it cannot find it, it tries to download it but you are not connected to the internet that’s why that message appeared.
To fix the problem, simply install JRE manually or connect your computer to the internet then start Photoshop again and let it download JRE for you or bring you to the download page. Before installing Photoshop CS3, you should check the system requirements first and verify that your computer meets those requirements.
Adobe Photoshop CS3 supports Windows XP Service Pack 2 and Windows Vista (Home Premium, Business, Ultimate, or Enterprise edition). It requires Intel Pentium 4 or faster processor, 512 MB RAM, video card with 64 MB video RAM, 1 GB free space, 1024 x 768 minimum screen resolution, Apple QuickTime 7 for QuickTime features, and internet connection for product activation and other online services.
For Macintosh, it supports OS X 10.4.8 Tiger until 10.5 Leopard. It requires PowerPC G4 or faster processor, 512 MB RAM, video card with 64 MB video RAM, 2 GB free space, 1024 x 768 minimum screen resolution, Apple QuickTime 7 for QuickTime features, and internet connection for product activation and other online services.
Since your Photoshop is looking for JRE, go to Java SE Downloads to get the latest Java Runtime Environment. Download and install the latest JRE on your computer.
