I can install a single CS6 license on both my iMac and my MacBook and so long as I don't run them simultaneously.
Â
Say I want to work on something at home, leave it for a bit and pick it up the laptop and head out, does putting one machine to sleep count or do I have to completely exit the program?
I was told that my (Education vsn)    CS6 Design Suite should have 2 installs on it and that it should now be compatible with pc AND mac. I have the initial install on my Macbook but I need to add it to my PC too. My serial number is not being accepted.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have just created a dual boot system.
Dell XPS 600 3 gig of ram (soon to be 6 gig
Windows XP Pro 32 bit
Windows Vista Home Premium 64 bit
The windows OS can not see above 2 gig (and that is a long story but believe me I have had it confirmed - even though a 32 bit system should be able to see up to 3.5 gig). That is why I created the dual boot (into Vista 64) OS.
The Vista 64 bit OS CAN see the current 3 gig (soon to be 6 gig).
Each has its own partition and I dual boot via a 3rd party BootIt NG
Question:
1. What is the proper way (if I even can do it) install PS CS4 on to the Vista 64 bit (in another partition) to take advantage of PS CS4 64?
2. Do I have to delete the XP 32 bit version and reactivate?
3. I do not use Bridge (or do I have to in order to get the 64 bit)? I have seen some threads here about using Bridge so I was wondering about that.
4. I also have IL CS4, ID CS4 and plan to do the same. Is that possible?
5. I know there is an issue with plugins so I will address that matter as it comes up. Hopefully, though the downloaded brushes will work ok in both the 32 and 64 bit envrionments.
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).
Â
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.
Â
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 -Â 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.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI've been running CS6 on my laptop for the past month with no issues regarding lag.
Today I decided to start using an old monitor as a second display, but whenever it's plugged in there is a huge amount of lag within Photoshop - so much lag that it is pretty much unusable.
From what I can tell, most other programs run fine with this setup (I've tried Sai and After Effects, and both are lag free).
Â
I've tried searching this issue - and there's a lot about configuring refresh rates on the individual monitors so they're the same. Tried that - makes no difference.

Any settings within Photoshop I could tweak to make it run better?
I'm building a duel quad core for photoshop and premire editing. My question is about a scratch disk. Will I see better speed if I get a 74 gig Rapton WD for the scratch drive?
I have a Sata 160 as the OS and program drive and three 320 gig Sata WDs as storage drives. I was thinking af the Raptor as a scratch. And is anyone out there using Photoshop with a quad or dual quads?
Does photoshop support dual monitors?
View 6 Replies View RelatedNot having any other issues with my new system other than Photoshop CS. This has happened four times now and the last time was a trip. Running CS on a Mac dual G5 with 1GB ram...working on two image files approximately 20MB each.
This happens when saving a file...the spinning rainbow wheel of death will just spin and spin and I can't get access to Photoshop again. Can't force it to quit and it will eventually lock up my system so bad that I have to use the manual shut down button on the front of the system.
Yesterday it did this and the spinning wheel came up and my monitor went to sleep! Could not wake it up, then the fans kicked into overdrive and they kept getting louder and louder like the processor was cranking away on something. I had to force the computer to shut down again.
Any ideas what's causing this? My RAM allocation is set to 50% in Photoshop, so it should not be a ram issue and there are NO other programs running.
I have recently purchased new HP laptop 320/4g/2.6, Windows Vista, and have an additional Samsung Monitor - T240 24" - I will be using Photoshop CS3, switching from Photoshop Elements6, and would like to know how I get Photoshop to recognize that I am using two monitors. I am also using Lightroom 2.0 and have no problem displaying a photo on the Samsung with it. What am I missing in Photoshop?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have twin monitors set up the defualt way whereby they act as two seperate monitors for two seperate applications to be maximized in and such. Basically, what happenes, is if i put Photoshop onto the secondary monitor, and create a new canvas, or have an open one, it does somthing similar to this: (picture attatched). Any reason or way to stop this? It doesnt do it if i strech the program over both screens but thats not practical for the obvious fault left in the middle.

View 6 Replies View RelatedI saw that if you have 2 screens you can work on the both of them. I thought i would do like katrin eismann and have my palettes on my little screen and have the image on the 19 inch screen that is on it´s way.
I use WinXP.
I have a dual monitor setup using one video card, and it is configured so that the desktop extends to my second monitor (monitor right).
In CS3 the application with palettes, etc. is on my left monitor and my working document (image) is on the right. Anytime I open an image, boom, it automatically opens on the right monitor. It remembers that the right monitor is where I last had an image document open, so the next one opens there automatically.
In CS4 I can't figure out how to do this. Every document I open shows up on the left monitor and I have to drag it over to the right where I want it. This continues to happen even if I uncheck "Open Documents as Tabs".
I have "Remember Panel Locations" checked, too.
how to change this?
Just installed dual monitors for Photoshop.When in Photoshop using dual monitors, when I click on the image to expand it goes to both monitors. Is there a setting where it only expands to the one (left) monitor?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI recently setup a second monitor on one of my pcs, both monitors i have had for a while and both are Dell 19" LCD (the primary monitor is an "ultrasharp" and the second is a standard one)
Both monitors work fine and display as expected... except when using Photoshop. The black in any pallette on the second monitor is displaying as a horrible brown colour but only on the second monitor. If i fill an area in black on the primary and drag the window over to the secondary, while i have the mouse button pressed and dragging, the colour on the second monitor is still black. As soon as i release the mouse it turns into this horrible brown colour. This is also affecting the colour picker dialog.
Unfortunately it's worthless me posting any screen shots of this as the image turns out fine - its just the photoshop interface. Although the black on toolbars and the like are fine, only colour pickers and the actual drawing area are effected.
Its clearly not drivers as the second monitor displays everything else fine. And it's not my Photoshop install because it works fine on the first monitor. - Also if i remove the first monitor - the second one then displays fine again - only seems to be an issue as a dual monitor setup.
I understand that it's all probably as clear as mud - but I just wondered if anyone else had experienced this and/or had a resolution.
Gear: MacBook Pro, Photoshop CS5, Wacom Cintiq 12WX as second display, Mac OS X 10.7.4
Â
Problem: Photoshop seems to only use the Monitor Profile of the main display (i.e. the one with the menu bar in System Preferences>Displays>Arrangement) - some people say yes, this is the case, some people say no, Photoshop uses independent profiles for each display.
Â
Manifestation: If I set my MacBook screen to the main display, color looks good in Photoshop on the MacBook and terrible on the Wacom and vice-versa. However, in Lightroom and other applications changing the main display makes no difference to the output on each display.
Â
Preferred solution: I would like to have my MacBook as my main display with menu bars and dock etc, but then I want the Cintiq to be the display I use in Photoshop, for obvious reasons. In my workflow, I would like to have my image open in 2 windows, one on the Cintiq for retouching and one on the MacBook to check progress and color etc
Â
Curveball: I have a trial of CS6 and the problem seems to be fixed.
to go with a dual monitor set up. I am looking at the Diamond 9550, 128 MB card. With the rebate it comes to a more than reasonable $69.00. Is anyone using this card? I would appreciate any comments from those of you that use a double dual monitors set up.
View 2 Replies View RelatedAfter reverting back to one monitor with Photoshop 7.0, I can no longer see pop up menus (for blending options to be specific). The pop up is somewhere, but not where I can get to it. I have to press Enter to get back to where I was working.
I have tried Window-Workspace-Reset pallet but pop ups are still way out supposedly on my non-existant second monitor. I never saved my workspace from the dual monitor times so there is also nothing to delete. Any help would be much appreciated....I have a job to finish.
I'm really liking the dual monitor with Photoshop. My question is when I have PS open, I put my pallets on the right monitor and the work files on the left. When I have an image open and click on the maximize tab on the uppper right corner of the image, it expands to both monitors. Is there a setting to where it only maximizes on the left monitor instead of across both monitors?

I have an extra monitor and I would like to use Photoshop with 2 monitors. The dual video cards vary in cost from 50 -400 dollars. Since I am not a professional I certainly don't need a state of the art set up. I have searched this forum and have been unable to find any useful information although I do remember that some pass treads did discuss this topic.

I have recently upgraded from a Wacom Intuous 3 tablet to a Cintiq 12wx.
I'm running Vista, and screens in extended mode.
My problems is this: When working on the Cintiq, and opening lets say the black and white conversion menu, I can not find it, because it pops up on the main screen, not the cintiq. This goes for almost all sub programmes. And it very annoying, as I sit and wait, thinking my computer has gotten very slow only to see that has appeared on the main screen. So what I want is to restrain all of photoshop and sup programmes with in one screen. I guess I could run the screens in clone mode but sometimes I want to be able to use the main screen for other stuff at the same time as I am using the cintiq.
And sometimes I want to be able to have the cintiq on my lap working from the sofa, not having to watch the main screen of the computer. I am sorry if I have over complicated my explanations, but I hope someone can see the essence of my problem, restrain photoshop within one screen.
I read something about a fellow who uses the 6x8 Wacom on his wide screen monitor, but had to adjust the position of his image so he could access the whole image with the Wacom. (I think he was lamenting about not springing for the 6x11 Wide Format Wacom instead of 6x8, which would have covered his whole screen surface.)
My concern is that neither the 6x8 nor 6x11 will work "well" for me on dual monitors. I usually have the main Ps window with editing image on one monitor, and the palettes on the second monitor. (I do this with Illustrator and Fireworks as well.) I'm concerned that I'll be stuck with "use the mouse to access palettes" / "use the Wacom to draw", wasting my time switching between the two, and benefiting little from either.
I've been struggling with color calibration for a while now. I have two displays:
1) Samsung 226BW (22" 1680x1050) which is a pretty cheap TN panel and is very poorly calibrated by default
2) Viewsonic VP930B (19" 1280x1024) which is a nicer panel and pretty well calibrated by default
Video card = 8800GT. In XP, I always used the nView calibration tool an followed the onscreen sequence to get both screens very nicely calibrated, and they would always stay that way. In Vista, unfortunately, NVIDIA has decided to not carry over their excellent nView software. So I'm stuck leaving the Viewsonic uncalibrated (which is mostly ok), and for the Samsung I use a software from Samsung called "MagicTune" which takes me through a series of onscreen exercises (not unlike nView did) and leaves the monitor pretty well calibrated. I've tried other software like QuickGamma and simply cannot get the same results as I can get with the MagicTune, which puzzles me.
Anyway, the problem is that (1) MagicTune almost never applies the correct "MagicTune profile" at startup, so I have to apply it manually, (2) I often have to re-open MagicTune (after gaming, for example) and re-apply the correct "MagicTune profile," and (3) MagicTune only functions well when the secondary Viewsonic (unsupported by Samsung) is disabled, so I often have to go through a long complex rigamorole of disabling and re-enabling the display to get MagicTune to work.
Is there any way I can "save" the color calibration state that the Samsung is in (when properly calibrated by MagicTune) and use a different software (or just Windows) to apply it, so I can stop relying on MagicTune? I know that I can manually adjust a lot of things about my color calibration without using MagicTune, but without the MagicTune exercises on screen I cannot achieve the same end result, and the "profile" created by MagicTune can only be applied by MagicTune.
