Photoshop :: Can't Use Graphics Processor For CS6 On Windows 8
Sep 12, 2012
I just got a fresh upgrade from Windows 7 to Windows 8 Pro (not beta) but then I can't use Photoshop that well. In the Preferences > Performance, I can't tick "Use Graphics Processor". I have an ATI graphics card and yep, I've already tried upgrading/reinstalling my graphics driver, even installing old ones -- and still, this doesn't solve my problem (even in its control panel, I can't seem to see the settings of the graphics card!)
Photoshop CS6 says it has detected an error in the graphice driver, but I can't find any errors. I have reinstalled several versions of the display driver--no change. The graphics card is NVIDIA GTX 550Ti.
Before opening an image in CS6 beta the 'Use Graphics Accelerator' is enabled; after opening an image, it is not and then an error is generated 'This feature requires graphics procesor acceleration . ' when attempting to use a filter/feature which requires HW acceleration. I have a supported graphics card, Radeon 6870, Windows7 64 bit, 8GB Ram. I've tried all 3 Advanced Settings.
I have a trial of CS6. I want to use the Oil painting option, but I get a note telling me to be sure that the Graphics Processor is checked. It is. Now what?
I get an unknown graphics processor error when I try to use Oil Paint filter. I have been able to use this feature before and all my devices are up to date.
Just got one of the brand-new 27 inch iMacs a few days ago, one with the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680MX (2GB GDDR5) video card.
I'm using Photoshop CS6.
Every time I enable Photoshop to take advantage of the video card for additional memory - Preferences > Performance > Graphics Processor Settings - I run into constant problems.
I'm talking about the "colored spinning wheel" icon appearing just about every 30 seconds and holding me up for about just about the same period of time.
Turning off the use of the video card solves the problem every time. No "colored spinning wheel" icon appearing - ever.
I got the larger video card hoping to take advantage of as much available memory as possible; unfortunately, it looks like there seems to be a problem with the interaction between Photoshop CS6 and the video card's driver.
I've got all the latest updates for both the Mac OS and Photoshop.
I recently installed Photoshop CS6 and had no problem what so ever the first week. to an incident I removed Photoshop and reinstalled it. Now I'm having problem with GPU acceleration.
My computer has 2 graphics cards, GeForce GTX 460(Primary screen & projector) and GeForce 210(Secondary screen). Photoshop detects my GTX460 and uses it. But when I move Photoshop to my secondary screen I can't see any documents. It's just a gray screen.
I had Photoshop CS5.5 installed before and had no problem using my secondary screen, installed PS CS 6 pararell with PS CS 5.5 and had no problem. Then I removed PS CS 5.5, still no problem.Reinstalled PS CS 6 and it doesn't work.
It obiusly worked a few days ago with this set up, and now it doesn't. also ad that unchecking Use graphics processor fixing the problem. But I wanna have all the nice GPU features.
I have a Macbook Pro running Mountain Lion. My Graphis Processor is a nVidia GeForce 8600 M GT. Do I need a driver or plug in to enable open GL inPS CS6.
I have been using the oil paint filter for about a year. But, I tried to use it today and got the following error:This feature requires graphics processor acceleration. Please check the Performance Preferences and verify that "Use Graphics Processor" is enabled.
I went to Photoshop Preferences to enable the Graphics Processor but the option is grayed out and won't let me check the box to enable.
Just wondering about the option for 30 bit Display in Advanced Graphics Processor Settings, Should I enable this option, my monitor is a Dell P2210 and what exactly will this do?
Here's a screenshot of what I talking about, I have a GeForce GTX660 2GB Graphics Card.
In Photoshop CS6 the layers are not displayed at all if using Nivdia Geforce drivers 306.02 in Windows 8 64-bit. If I revert back to Nvidia Geforce drivers 304.79 (Beta) - it works fine - the layers are now displayed.
The laptop system uses Nividia Optimus hybrid graphics and Photoshop has been setup using the defaults (PS profile from Nvidia) to use the Nvidia card as High Performance Graphics. Photoshop hardware acceleration does not crash with either driver set - except since 304.79 Beta the layers are not displayed. So something has changed with Nvidia after the 304.79 Beta release, i.e. a bug - or Adobe has a bug in its implementation for DirectX with hard acceleration.
need to check and access the Edit>preferences>performance>use Graphics Processor option setting through the script. i cant find it in the object domain, I have the following to check the current state:
var ref = new ActionReference(); ref.putEnumerated( charIDToTypeID('capp'), charIDToTypeID('Ordn'), charIDToTypeID('Trgt') ); var openglEnabled = executeActionGet(ref).getObjectValue (charIDToTypeID('CchP')).getBoolean (stringIDToTypeID('openglEnabled')); alert( openglEnabled );
but then i am unable to set the value using this:
var openglEnabled = executeActionGet(ref).getObjectValue (charIDToTypeID('CchP')).putBoolean (stringIDToTypeID('openglEnabled'));
I tried using a recorded action but that doesnt work.ns
A friend has a low-end laptop with a graphics score of 3.4 and is experiencing issues attempting some filters. My laptop is reflecting 6.9 which is likely overkill, but what the minimum system should be.
If the Windows Experience graphics score is a poor predictor of minimum system graphics requirements,
downloading a trial version of CS2 but I'm worried that the 1.6 G.hz processor on my laptop is not going to be powerful enough.The system requirements say 1.8.
I have three MAC's using Parallels with Windows 7 X64 on a domain. I cannot get Corel Draw x5 to launch on one. It just simply crashes and records Failed to Release Mutex Error ID = Returned Error 288 & 1 in the event log. I have tried removing Corel Draw from the workstation 3x in combination with manual and automatic. I have spent over 8 hours on this and cannot find a solution on line. I have removed user settings as well. I have the original media. I have tried downloading another copy from CNET but the key will not work.
I have been having problems updating my Corel Draw 11 Graphics Suite for use on a computer running Windows 7 Pro, 64 bit. It worked fine on the previous computer I was using, which was running Windows XP Pro, 64 bit. I have been to the download site for all applicable patches and service packs for Corel 11, namely, SP1, SP2, Draw11SVGUpdate, and CGS11savefix.exe. When I run the SP1, I get an error message: "the file C:/Programfiles(x86)CorelCorelGraphics11FiltersCRLPDFImport110.dll is not a valid previous version and could not be upgraded" The only response choice I was offered was "OK" and this exits the setup.
When I try to open either Corel Draw 11 or Corel Photo Paint 11, I get the following message: "Corel PHOTO-PAINT(R) [or DRAW] has stopped working. A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available." The only "option" I'm given is to push the "Close program" toggle and exit. Windows has never contacted me via email to tell me of any solutions.
I have been using the Corel Draw Graphics Suite for many years - first buying the Full Version of CD5, then upgrading to 8, then upgrading to 11. I have the original "upgrade" discs for 11 which have installed just fine up to now, and I really do not need the extensive features of CGS X5 (which, by the way, works perfectly in the "trial download" form I put onto the computer in question!). I was SO hoping to get the updates on 11 installed so it will work on Win 7 Pro, rather than have to pay $200 for the upgrade to X5 "just" to gain the ability to run Corel DRAW and Corel PHOTO PAINT on this new computer. (By the way, that "just" is a relative term - if it's the only way to get a functioning program, I will have to upgrade - Corel DRAW and Corel PHOTO PAINT are the bedrock of our private printing press work!) Is there any way I can proceed with Corel 11?
CorelDRAW 12 successfully installed on a new machine running Windows 7 Professional 64-bit; however, when attempting to run the SP1 patch (CGS12SP1EN.msp), I get the following message:
"The wizard was interrupted before CorelDRAW Graphics Suite 12 could be completely installed."
I have tried "Corel Draw 12 and vista" which attempted to run the Microsoft installer through the command prompt running under Administrator, but it doesn't work.
am using windows 7 without aero windows. Twice when using Corel draw and saving the program has crashed. I have then had to ctrl alt delete and shut the program down.
I'm purchasing a new Mac Pro 12 Core Desktop and I was wondering can Cs6 use all 12 cores of the processor ? Also, How much real ram can Photoshop use ?
Why when I'm in Bridge and use the image processor, it's not closing the files after processing in Photoshop cs5? It did about a day or so ago and now all of a sudden it wont.
I usually use Image Processor to apply an action on tons of files on CS2. When I upgraded to CS3, I simply copied the actions over to the new action folder. Problem is, with long actions, CS3 doesn't close each file after it has performed the action unlike CS2, leaving the desktop filled with processed photos. Also a dialog box appear at the end with the message "Sorry, I could not process the following fileslist of files)". still, the processed files are saved in the destination folder. But here's the funny thing, when I run short actions, everything is ok.
I want to buy Photoshop CS4 but I read that I need a minimum 1.8 GHz processor in my PC. My processor is 1.6GHz. What will happen if I try install it in my PC anyway? Will it work? If not, is it possible to upgrade my processor?
I'm having 2 seperate import problems in Coreldraw X5 in Windows 7. The first one, and the one I need to fix immediatly is, every time I try to import a dfx file, the program crashes. The other which is less important right now is, a lot of times when I try to import PDF's I get an error message that says the file is corrupt.
im using coreldraw x5 since last year but recently when ive tried to open uniform fill tool (***+f11) the separate window isnt showing up. is as if it is invisible because i would have to press esc to continue back to my work. the only pop up window that does work is fountain fill (f11) the rest such as option (ctrl+j) doesnt pop up
When using Windows 7 (32 bit) and Coreldraw X5, when I zoom up the page, with grid on, and start moving TIFFs around, the grid disappears in that local area. The only option is to refresh the page. So just recently upgraded to Windows 7 64 bit, but no change.
