HDR in CS3 not working well

[LittleLew]

When doing HDR in CS3, the process can get as far as saving the temp HDR file. Then get error report that says: Error 8000, Cannot open file because open options are incorrect. (I understand that CS3 must save in a tempfile and reopen a working file with different bit depth)

File is saved as PhotoshopHDRtmpa00XXX.PFM in my local setting/temp directory.

This file cannot be opened in CS3 (file incorrect type) but CS2 will open and convert it to PSD.

Does anyone know a way to fix this PITA problem?

Thanks in advance.

Strange....

I'm using CS3 10.0 on a G5 PPC without problems. I can generate HDRI images without problem.

I would suggest re-installing Your copy of PS.
