Photoshop :: CS6 - Disable GPU Features / Sniffer Through Install
Nov 19, 2013
I am looking to deploy Photoshop CS6 in an enterprise environment. We have a number of clients which meet the requirements of the program, but do not have the video memory to utilize the graphics accelerated features. I've been asked to research disabling the GPU features (or the GPU sniffer) at the install process to avoid the user experience of the pop up. Is there a customization tool or have any users found a work around for this scenario? I have read the sticky here, and also came across a user submitted solution here which I thought might work but is not an option in our environment.
Challenge: GPU Sniffer pops up notice of disabled features when first run with new user on clients that do not meet GPU acceleration specs.
Goal: Avoid/remove pop up, either by customization of installation, of modification of preferences post install from centralized management.
You basically have to click "Expand canvas" every single time you paste a screenshot larger than the canvas. Sure, open a canvas that size, etc etc, but I'm looking for a permanent solution which would allow you to use the "Expand" choice AUTOMATICALLY, by default, without a popup. On that note, here's another annoying thing. Whenever I open images, crop out something, open a new one, paste it there, save it, etc, I usually have tons of unsaved images which I no longer need. I just want to exit the whole thing altogether without any save popups, etc. Like you would do in MSPaint. Open a canvas, paste in something, save it or don't, exit, the program closes nice and fine. My problem is:
This. I don't want to save every single image separately, because I no longer need them. Neither do I want to manually click each and every single one and tell it not to save, nor do I want to click "Don't Save" every time I exit. This may seem like pointless bitching, but trust me, it really gets on your nerves when you're using the program literally hundreds of times per day.
So, is there any way to disable these popups and define an "automatic" feature, to simply close and enlarge under any circumstances?
I have CS2 Premium which I'm running on an older PowerPC Mac (G5 - Dual 2.3 GHz ) running OS 10.4.11. I've had this setup for many many years (registered/activated with Adobe) but suddenly one day I could no longer launch my Photoshop app: when I clicked on the Pshop icon it would start the launch (open) procedure ... and then almost instantly it would quit (in just a few seconds ... before the application even got to the 'title/credit' screen).
I've recently tried uninstalling CS2 (everything except Acrobat) and I ended up doing a manual uninstall of Version Cue. I've been on Macs for 20+ years so figured this would be a pretty straightforward procedure - uninstall -> reinstall and then back to work. Nope.
I'm attempting a fresh installation direct from the original CS2 CDs. In any event, when I try to (re)install CS2 - and after going through the standard screens with Adobe's usage terms agreement and installation hard disk selection - I arrive at the screen where one selects which application(s) to install by checking the various boxes (or alternately, to install the entire suite) but the 'Adobe Photoshop CS2/Adobe ImageReady CS2' line and checkbox are grayed out, so it will not allow me to check them and continue with the Photoshop installation process.
How do I re-install AI CC after it's been uninstalled because the initial install was corrupt? AI isn't availbale for download again in the app section of CC.
I just purchased a single app membership in CC but the Photoshop that I have is still the old CS6 from the trial. When I paid for the membership I thought that the Photoshop CC with more and advanced features would be a part of the deal.
So today I downloaded Photoshop CS6 Extended edition (64-bit) for Windows. When I tried to use the 3D features, it wouldn't let me, because I didn't have enough VRAM dedicated. So when I went into preferences, I could only set my VRAM up to 503 MB. I would say that I just don't have enough video memory; however, I have 3061 MB. I tried going into my BIOS and adjusting the video card memory allocation settings, except I didn't see any.

When I attempt to extrude some text in CS6, there is no ground plane, no widgets, no viewing panel and none of those fancy grab handles that are meant to be there. The move, scale and rotate for 3D tools have a 'no entry' sign when I attempt to use them on the model, even though it has extruded.

So I have a CC subscription. The CC only feature of being able to apply liquify filter to a smart object is working fine but the new smart sharpen has no new noise reduction slider. Why are some CC only features working while others are not?
Why doesn't transform selection, tools, open (on random documents, more likely to work if I drag and drop than double click a file or use file->open), save, or "save as" work most times my computer is running? These actions have no effect. Restarting my computer doesn't always fix it. I'm running Windows 7 Home Premium with Photoshop CS4 64-bit. Switching to Photoshop 32-bit fixes nothing. I have the patch installed.
I have just installed Photoshop CS6 and I found a video tutorial on Youtube to educate me how to use the new 3D fearures for the text option. I followed them to the instructions online but when I went to select the 3D option, all the options in that dropdown list were 'greyed out' and unselectable.
I now do not know whether I have installed something incorrectly or whether my computer is just not able to make use of the 3D features because of it's age and/or system setup. Below is a screengrab of what my system settings are.
I am interested in finding out how to enable Graphics features in Photoshop CC. I am using Windows 7, with Intel G41 chipset and even though the box is checked next to "Graphics Accelerator", I still cannot use the 3D features.
I was recently having trouble getting my 3d features to work in photoshop. I tried re-setting everything and reinstalling the program and changing preferences and nothing worked. Finally after about 4 hours of trying to figure it out I figured out that I was working in CMYK color mode, so I changed it to RGB and that fixed it. So, if you're having trouble with this make sure you check your color mode and be sure that it is in RGB not CMYK.
recently upgraded to photoshop CC and whenever i use the 3D features, photoshop crashes. I have windows 8 64bit, 4 GB ram and 1Gb of dedicated video memory.
I'm having difficulty getting the 3D features to work in Photoshop CC. They're grayed out and I have updated drivers, uninstalled/installed, etc. I'm hoping I just missed something and don't need to upgrade something as it is a work computer (on Windows 7 Professional). I'm pretty new to the Adobe programs and would like to explore the 3D features.
System Info: Adobe Photoshop Version: 14.0 (14.0 20130423.r.221 2013/04/23:23:00:00) x64 Operating System: Windows 7 64-bit Version: 6.1 Service Pack 1
I'm messing with CS3. I have Bridge set to allow me to use ACR to open jpegs as well as RAW files. Worked fine for a while... all of a sudden the "camera raw preferences" option is gone from Bridge. I can still open files FROM Photoshop in ACR but not from Bridge. Even when bridge allows it to open in ACR it has to start Photoshop to do it rather than just popping up the ACR window like it was for a while.
This is a known problem without a known cause that I have been able to find in my research. It's not platform dependent from what I've been reading after much googling. Resetting preferences, clearing cache, and playing with settings don't seem to make any difference. From what I've read online, even reinstalling sometimes doesn't work.
I have built a new computer which uses a Gigabyte F2A85X-D3H motherboard. No additional graphics. Running Windows 7 with SP1. When I load Photoshop CS6 it gives an error message that it is disabling some graphics features.
I have a license for Photoshop CS4 Extended (Windows) and for some reason whenever I install it the software appears to be installing as regular non-Extended CS4. At least, the 3D menu items don't appear, and when I go to "About Photoshop" it doesn't say extended.
I have double-and triple-checked that my serial number and license are for the Extended version. It says it right there on the package, on the CD, and on the sticker with the Serial Number.
I had to wipe my machine and re-install everything recently, and now it's not showing up. Is there something else I need to do when installing? Is there some hidden option I need to turn on?
I have PS CC (PS only). Updated to ACR 8.1. I am not seeing Camera Raw 8.1 as a filter (drop-down from the main Filter menu) option, nor do I see the Radial filter (within ACR - no elipse icon), nor do I see the Upright from the main Filter menu within Lens Corrections.
I cannot figure this out and am having trouble looking up an answer:
Sometimes when I have a file open in CS3, dropdown options are unavailable. for instance, I have a tiff open and the "texture" filter option (amongst others) is unavailable to click.
I've download Photoshop CS4 and running it in trial mode. When I use the brush tool for example, the delay in it actually printing on the paper after I click and drag is like 1-2 seconds. I have a pretty good PC, 2.4ghz @ quad.
My Photoshop Elements 10 organizer will not let me use any of the features. I have a number of photos that show up when I open the organizer, but it won't let me scroll through them. Whenever I try to move through the photos with my mouse, it keeps jumping back to the top of the photos. Also, when I try to open the "file" or "edit" etc, it just flashes quickly the things in that section and goes off so quickly I can't select anything. I don't seem to have this problem in the editor portion of the program.
my client have a Mac Mini with 512Mb of Vram. He try to use the 3d features of photoshop cs6, but he cant because the menu is gray. The accelaration is In the Edit/Perferences/Performance menu is "ON".
The integrated video card of the Mac Mini is Intel HD 4000, it is strong enough to use the 3d "services" of Photoshop.
I'm wanting to load a png file into photoshop & use a customised menu bar or perhaps a plugin to supply some specific image information as I work. The image is a game height-map. The pixel hex value represents the height of the terrain.
I wanting to load my map (image) into PS & display a new menu bar containing this information in textboxes & the like:
1. The hex value of the pixel the mouse is hovering over.
2. The corresponding height related to that hex value. This would be a customised calcuated field (textbox).
3. A combo or spinbox with height values, so that you would select the desired height to pain onto the map, and the pain fill tool would automatically select the corresponding color to pain based on custom calculated conversion of height to correcponsing hex (color) value.
Do I need to write a plugin? or maybe ctionscript with a custom toolbar?
This morning camera raw vanished from CC Bridge and Photoshop. I also downloaded Maverick. Don't cc and maverick work together ? How can I get ACR back?
