Thank you for your kind words MCHUGH... And yes Dean Collins was not only a highly skilled Master of the camera he was blessed with brilliance in knowledge base transfer... I purchased all his video courses and have reviewed them over and over again. Always learning something new each time.
Today's YouTube "Photographic" Gurus are more focused on recruiting followers and providing affiliate links... Both of which are revenue centric...
btw, in regard to your vintage copy of CS-3, if you the person you purchased it from was honest and did provided an unregistered copy you likely can install it on a virgin i.e. clean build of Win 7... The failed install attempt will have populated your registry with a myriad of Adobe parameters even if you successfully uninstalled the first attempt.
If it is a pirated copy sadly you're stuck... Try to get a refund from the seller... If you put it on your CCard you may be able to do this up to three or maybe even six mouths after the sale (depending on the CCard). I've had to go that route once before... the seller tried to fight this but I keep all correspondence, bill of sale etc... My CCard provider credited my account... Helps to have a significant other who is an account...
Please stay safe...

I too got his programs and made the sail cloth diffuser screens and scrims. Used his color gel on black background many times in portraits. On the CS-3 I got rid of it and went to PSE 2021 it does everything I need for my amateur work these days. No longer do any professional photography.
