if one could run CS2 and CS4 on the same machine without problems. I ask this, because I currently have CS2 and have been researching the possibility of buying CS4. I don't want to do an upgrade, because I want to keep my CS2 around for a while to make sure I get along with CS4.

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'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 14 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.
I've used all kinds of programs and recently bit the bullet and got CS4. I wanted to buy a book on it going further in depth with the software, but I keep finding Photoshop 7 books but not on CS4. So my question is whats the difference? everyone I talked to said CS4 is the best but I don't know the difference, from using the program with out really knowing the ins and outs of it I like it. I keep getting the hand of death sometimes but i'm able to get it working right again. so what is the difference between PS 7 and CS4?

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

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.

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?

im trying to create something similar.
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.
View 4 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.
Sometimes I run a second monitor off my laptop. When I run photoshop WITHOUT the second monitor, it tries to pop up certain windows where the second monitor should be, and I can't get at them. I end up having to kill photoshop and open it again. Does anyone else have this problem? Is there somewhere I can tell photoshop not to try to use the second monitor?

View 4 Replies View RelatedI've got a few Photoshop actions that I've been using for personal projects, and I'm considering releasing them to the public. I'd like to make them as version compliant as possible, to suit a wider audience.
What I'm wondering is, if I've created actions in CS (PS v8), how far back in versions would the actions work? I've heard some people say version 7, but I couldn't get a definate answer.
I want to make some actions that will be able to work in different versions of PS (I think the 3 that we use are 5, 7, and LE). Don't worry, most of the actions will be select all, copy, paste, save, ect. Simple things that are open in all vers.
(Am I remembering right that LE doesn't have actions?)
Any who, how could I make actions work in all of these different versions? Make the actions in 5 and load them into 7? I would prefer to make them in 7,
Just installed ACS6 and ran updates on a mac book pro and photoshop images look fine on the laptop display, but slide the image to the second monitor, the image turns black. Slide it back and it is fine again.

i discoverd that when i unplug the second monitor i lose my photoshop page and i cant get it bakc unless i restart photoshop while pressing shift+cmd+alt.

When I use grayscale displacement maps, I save it as a psd. and the apply it via the displace filter.
How do I apply a dual-channel map? Do I save the Red (right to left) and Green (up to down) as separate .psd and then apply them or is there some other way?
