I would like to try Photoshop for digital art. I downloaded the 30 day trial version of Adobe Illustrator CS 6 about three days ago and noticed immediately that touching my laptop’s touch screen will only allow me to pan using the Hand Tool in Photoshop. I have never had this problem in Adobe Illustrator, as using the touch screen acts just as if I were clicking the left mouse button and dragging the cursor around the screen. I have a Dell XPS 15 - L502X laptop with an integrated touch screen (the entire 15” screen is Multi-touch sensitive). It is running N-Trig DuoSense Digitizer with the latest drivers. Is there some simple setting change that can be done within Photoshop CS6 to make it recognize a touch screen input as a normal left click and thus allow me to draw on it using the pen, pencil, or paintbrush tool? I find it quite odd that I have no problems with this in Illustrator CS6. Could it be that this tablet-like touch screen input is restricted on the trial version?
Here is a link to a youtube video that I put up showing the problem. The first program shown in the video is Adobe Illustrator CS6 using the Paintbrush tool. The second program shown is Adobe Photosop CS6 using the pencil tool. I draw the line in Ps using the mouse pad and then attempt to draw (still using the pencil tool) on the touch screen yielding only scrolling with the hand tool.

Problems with 3D objects. PS freezes every time I create a 3D object and try to come out of 3D mode or save the file.
Updating driver for ATI Mobility Radeon HD560V display adapter.AMD website auto-suggested and installed HD 4650 (?) driver.That made PS work a bit better, but other stuff started freezing (Chrome, Bridge)Went to Dell site and reinstalled HD 560V. Had to uninstall and reinstall Catalyst Control Centre.

The Samsungs splash screen gets to reading preferences but then says: cs6 has stopped running. I have deleted the prefs file to no avail. The samsung has a nvidia geforce 630.My uac has always been all the way down
When I open an image in Photoshop CC 64-bit on my Dell XPS 15 L501x laptop with nVidia 420M GPU selected as graphics processor, the image is blank. If I go to the performance preferences and untick "Use Graphics Processor" the images are shown correctly after closing and reopening image (the same issue occurs with Basic, Normal and Advanced drawing mode selected).
I assume that Photoshop will run slower not using the graphics processor, so would like to sort it so I can use it to improve performance. If I remember correctly, on the trial version of CS5.1 on the same laptop, I just disabled OpenGL and the images were displayed fine. Is there any way to just disable OpenGL in Photoshop CC 64-bit (or resolve this another way)?
I have an HP Touchsmart PC and I have installed CS6. I want to draw on my sreen in photoshop but when I select the brush tool and touch the screen it just pans.
I can use the brush tool with my mouse but I need to know how to get it to work with the tablet screen.
Photoshop cs6 works almost perfectly on the sony vaio tap 20 windows 8 computer. One problem is the touch screen's compatibility with photoshop. Inorder to draw with my finger or a pen, I need to select outside of the boundary of the canvas and drag in order to draw. The program works fine with the mouse and keyboard, but the touch screen is really what I want to use.
I am in the market for a PC with a touch screen such as HP Touchsmart, and I am wondering if I can manipulate changes to images in PS or PSE on a touch screen? I am not talking about apps.
Waiting for Windows 8, I recently bought a new HP Touch smart 520PC. While touch screen works perfectly with Windows 7, and the pen correctly writes on the screen in simple programs like Paint, when I try to draw with the brush (or with any other tool) instead of the brush it appears the small hand usually used to move the screen.
There is any setup I must apply to solve this problem, or actually Photoshop CS6 doesn't plan to support the direct drawing on the screen? In this case I wonder, because I suppose that - when touch capabilities of Windows 8 will be available - many PC and notebooks will use the touch screen technology.
Buying the HP Touch smart I would expect to use Photoshop as on a giant I pad, but for the moment I'm still obliged to use a Wacom tablet!
I have a Toshiba U920T which so far doesn't support Adobe Photoshop when drawing with my finger or stylus. My friend has a HP Slate and it works fine in that. Unfortunately I can't get the same slate as he has as it's older and not in stock anymore. Is there a list of touch screen compatible computers somewhere? ( without the drag out side the screen workaround or start by tapping the mouse button trick which are unworkable for drawing properly )
I just bought a 15.6" Asus Q500A touchscreen laptop with Windows 8. I downloaded photoshop and the 'touch app plug-ins' through the Adobe Application Manager for creative cloud. When I open a file in PS and select the brush(or any other) tool if I use the touch screen to drag it accross the canvas nothing happens. It still works with my mouse though.
I have a packard bell with a multi-touch screen, but when using Photoshop CS6 my touch screen doesn't work... is this just settings or prefs i need to adjust?
I'm using a student version of RAC 2011 and everything works out well upon installation. My problem is that whenever I pan or zoom in on my model, the screen will blink black and white, and at certain zoom level, the screen stays all black. I'm using an ASUS K52jc-Ex303 laptop with the following specs:
I have already installed the latest drivers from nvidia, which doesn't seem to work.
Matter of fact, it's so bad, that i'm always forced to turn off hardware acceleration which is a headache especially with large-scale models and it keeps on crashing.
I understand the fact that this GPU was built for gaming, and its not listed in the list of recommended graphics cards by autodesk. (I get the some features... message everytime i open RAC) My question is, is there anyway I can tweak the settings within the nvidia control panel to improve this issue on my revit architecture 2011?
Why does dragging on a Touch Screen change the cursor into a Hand Tool? This did not happen in CS 5.5 and I could edit on my touch screen monitor. With Photoshop CS 6, as soon as I start to drag, the cursor changes to a hand cursor. I have look at all of the system options and nothing seems to affect it so I have to assume it is something wrong with Photoshop CS 6.
I just wanted to say that whomever added the new touch screen features to Illustrator CC is AWESOME! Touch type tool, free transform, multi-touch zoom/panning.
I like it so much I made a video: URL....(and also showed some touch screen support in a few other Adobe CC programs.)
I am shooting RAW and opening in Photoshop CS3 with AdobeRGB profile. My desktop NEC LCD screen displays the images correctly. I recently purchased a HP Pavilion dv9910us laptop, and it exhibits some posterization, even at the best screen angle. I'm wondering if this is a problem I will be able to solve or if it is a limitation of the hardware.
17 in. WXGA screen nVidia GeForce 7150M (shares memory) 3 GB RAM AMD Turion 64 X2 TL-60 Vista 32 bit SP1
Color is set to 32 bit, Powerplan to High performance. The monitor has no specific profile. It is set to generic PNP. My older SpyderPro doesn't work with Visa, so I can't create a profile for the monitor (unless I upgrade to Spyder3.
I specifically chose a laptop that had a graphics subsystem, so this posterization is disappointing to me.
I have bad screen tearing in gimp 2.8 in windows 7 x64, making it almost unusable! (see youtube link: [URL] look around 15 seconds into the video )
i just reinstalled windows after using linux for a few months , gimp worked fine in linux (ubuntu x64) with the same hardware. i had the problem before in windows and i have it again with a fresh install
i have tried gimp 2.8.0, 2.8.2 and the same problem with the new one (2.8.4), same problem aswell with gimp 2.9 development builds. gimp 2.6 works fine with no screen tearing at all.

Did you get the driver from nvidia's Web site? Check for firmware anddriver updates first.Yes a bad move :P but i need to use some software that's not compatible with linux.
An obvious 'solution' is to install Linux as a VM under Virtualbox.

I'm looking for a solution to keep on using Inventor despite severe RSI problems.I'd like to customize a whiteboard for zooming, panning, rotating opbjects, right clicking and no double clicking,etc... I'm already using 3Dconnection. Any whiteboards that allow customisation with specific software(i.e. inventor) on top of windows 7
I'm trying to use Dragon speech with inventor, Is it possible through VBA or other 'scripts' to get this done? Are there any existing smart softwares to perform these actions.
I have an svg layer in the shape of a bird and a background sky. I want my animation to load and then the user be able to drag the bird around the touch screen on a defined but hidden path.
I just got a new touch screen computer and Photo-Paint doesn't even respond to touch events. Is there a patch for this? I also have the unmentionable CC program and it half works by dragging my finger from outside the document then dragging into the doc - which is totally unworkable.
I've read Sony, Toshiba and Asus touch computers aren't compatible with that "other" paint package and Corel. What's the workaround? This is just a shame that no touch screen computers work with them.
Are there any touch screen computersout there that working with drawing packages? Or at least Corel?
I've got two Dell 2408WFP 24" displays due to arrive Monday and I was wondering if any of you owners out there have any suggestions for me. I understand I'll have to calibrate these puppies and definitely bring down the brightness.
Do you have any other comments or suggestions for a new owner and it's use with Photoshop?
slow issues and supossedly how to fix them (kapersky etc..). I have yet to be able to configure photoshop cs4 64bit to run smoothly..
here is my config...
Dell Precision Covet m6400
Vista 64
Quad-core qx9300
8gb ram
nvidia quadro fx 3700m 1gb
2x320gb 7.2k drives raid 0
cs4 64 should run like a dream on this machine... it doesn't..
What problems i get. --------------------
General refresh issues, lag, panels done't minimise maximise smoothly, can't drag layers smoothly from one document tab to another. When i try and close the document tabs they take ages to close. When i open nvidia control panel in tandem to having photoshop open to see whats going on the animated logo jitters and does not rotate smoothly when i move my mouse over it...
What i have done to try and solve the issues. -----------------------------------------------
Uninstalled and re installed numerous times.
Uninstalled and re installed Dell's nvidia driver and other drivers from laptopvideo2go.
Recently upgraded from Vista to Windows 7 and upon reinstalling my Dell AIO printer, it cannot find already installed Photoshop 7 software. No problem with Vista.
I have a Dell 1907 FP Flat Panel Monitor. The controls include a 'Brightness' adjustment. I am trying to set the monitor so that I have a luminance of between 100 and 120 cd/m2. I am using a Spyder 3 Pro display calibration device to set the luminance but the device does not measure luminance. Can anyone tell me what Brightness level my monitor should be set at to achieve a luminance of 100-120 cd/m2?
I have been using this product for years on XP, with success. However, just this past week, when I try to add an MP4 to the timeline, and play the clip or project, there's no sound, for about 80% of MP4's I've tried. I have uninstalled the product and SmartSound (both), and reinstalled, including all patches, having tried the sound before installing the patches. I know my hardware and OS are underpowered, but it worked, prior, without me making any system changes before this situation arose.
I recently changed pc and monitor causing a damn problem with those color spaces! My monitor is a Dell u2412m and by default it's setted on:
Now when I open a RAW file with ACR and choose sRGB as color space the result is this:As you can see, most of the photo presents black shadows. If I save the file and I open it with windows image it's perfect. Indeed, if I choose ProPhoto for monitor and for the photo the visualization is fine:
I must change the color space in sRGB or even RGB before save the final image so I really would like to se a real preview of it in photoshop instead of saving it first. So the problem occurs when I save to RGB (less artifacts) and sRGB (lots of artifacts!). I can't understand this because I'm using the same color space as default for my monitor.
The pc configuration is:Intel i7 3770 Ati HD7870 driver Ati 12.11 beta RAM 16gb
i´m stuck with calibrating my Dell U2711(wide gamut) on Windows7, CS6 i used it with the integrated Adobe RGB preset and a standard profile. After calibration with i1displayPro (monitor in custom preset, slight changes to reach D65 whitepoint) i got a solid ICC2 profile which seems to fill the Adobe RGB space quite well (compared them in 3D).
The point where i can't get any further is the color rendering in PS and ACR, the colors are limited to a sRGB like saturation level. I´ve set my Creative Suite Color settings to aRGB, disabled Softproofing in PS.Here is what red (255,0,0) looks like: left: proofing OFF
I recently bought an Eizo CG301 and think it's awesome. I also have a Dell 2407 and run them both in a dual monitor setup.
I produce hi res digital fine art prints and I'm having issues with my colour setup......
This is the problem. Eizo (100cd,6500k,2.2gamma) is calibrated using an eye one display and saved in CAL mode....the dell(180cd ( the lowest it will go without lowering colour values), 6500k,2.2gamma) is calibrated using the same device and is using the profile via vista colour management.
Basically the Eizo shows 255,0,0 as a mid red/orange and the dell shows the same colour as a pure red - this is backed up with a printout from my epson 3800 where the reds are red and not orange. As I'm producing professional output it's essential for me to know which monitor is correct - do I trust the Eizo as it's hardware calibrated?
all other colours seem fine and my Eizo's deltaE values are between 0.2 - 1.3 (0.4 average)which is quite good....
can anyone confirm if 255,0,0 is a mid red/orange and not pure red.
I am using Windows 7 and recently installed Photoshop Elements 10. If the Dell 3000cn is set as my default printer, as soon as I click on print, I receive the mssage I need to install a printer.
I have verified that I have the latest Dell driver. If another printer is the default, I can print one image to the Dell printer. If I try to print a second image or change certain prnter settings, such as setting a custom size, PS Elements just show the waitng icon and never moves on so it has stoped working and I receive the following dialog box from Windows.
