I did this now just PS will not work. Under the window on performance it says "Graphics Hardware Acceleration unavailable upgrade video driver & possible video card". The only thing I can find in the hardware for video is Intel (R) G41 Express Chipset (Intel GMA 4500). I upgraded the driver and I still get a fuzzy screen with artifact everywhere. This is on a desktop computer with an LED monitor.

I have attached the picture of the message.
View 2 Replies View RelatedIve noticed that initially photoshop will not allow me to use acceleration, I am using a Quadro based Laptop and would really like to benefit from its GPU. I know in Premiere Pro you can edit a File called "Supported GPUs" witch will allow you to use the Murcery Playback engine fine. Is there a way to do something similar in Photoshop?
System specifications:
Dell Latitude E6410
Corei5 520M
6GBs DDR3
Nvidia Quadro NVS 3100M
I was led to believe that GPU acceleration features (like smooth zoom and rotate) were supported in the PS CS4 Standard edition. Under GPU Settings, Performance Preferences, it states "No GPU options available with Photoshop Standard". To me this is misleading advertising - I would have considered the Extended version if I had known.
Maybe this will help others not make the same disappointing assumption I have. I think Adobe should make this clear in the future. It really does make me feel slighted.
Im buying a new video card for my Photoshop PC, and Im trying to figure out if Photoshop supports GPU acceleration on both Nvidia and Radeon cards. Ive heard in the past that it only supported CUDA (Nvidia). I currently use CS5, but will update to CS6 at some point.

Latest nvidia drivers. Windows 7. 64bit
Edit: Installed newer Wacom drivers 6.3.2w3 which seems to have brought CS6 back to CS5s performance level after a reboot. Although brushes do still lag, especially the art brushes. Still not thrilled with performance yet.
Photoshops brushes are still faster with GPU accell off though.
I currently own a laptop which I use heavily for image editing. It is powered by a very fast Core 2 Duo 2.4GHz and a power-efficient yet perfectly capable Intel X3100 integrated graphics chip.
My chip supports all of the necessary Shader versions, OpenGL 2.0, etc. ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_GMA#GMA_X3100 ). However, when I visit the Preferences menu to enable the OpenGL acceleration, I am presented with a grayed-out option telling me I may need to upgrade my drivers or graphics card.
I have tried new driver versions. Certainly I should not have to purchase another card (impossible in a laptop in fact) seeing as my chip supports all of the requisite features.
I recently purchased Photoshop CS6. I've installed on Windows 7 and run updates. I've also today updated my graphics drivers to latest version (catalyst 12.8). I have an AMD Radeon HD 7700 which has 1024MB RAM. This card is on the list of supported cards.
When I first load Photoshop I can look in "Preferences -> Performance" and see that the GPU has been detected correctly and 'Use Graphics Processor' is ticked.
However after loading any image, including using "File -> New" to open an blank white image, the GPU is disabled. Looking back in "Preferences -> Performance" it tells me:
"no gpu options available with photoshop standard"
What can I do about this?
I currently have a Dell Precision M6700 which I had replaced my old laptop with in attempt to fix this very problem. I'm using Windows 7 x64 with Photoshop CC x64. Whenever I attempt to use my Cintiq 13HD with GPU acceleration enabled, the brush lags horribly on the smallest of canvases. Disabling GPU acceleration fixes it but I use many of the tools such as canvas rotation greatly. I've checked everything from spacing in brushes to trying different drivers.
My drivers for my 13HD are the latest and as are the drivers for the Firepro M6000. I'm extremely confused as AMD states that this is a certified adobe Photoshop gpu and the FirePro line is made with excellent Open GL support as far as I'm aware. I've searched other threads before with this issue and attempted various fixes to no avail. I'm especially baffled as this is a workstation class GPU.
I have opengl acceleration turned on and it usually works. Problem is that sometimes a document looses it's acceleration. I'm not sure when this happens, if it is when i switch between documents or when i switch between photoshop and other applications. I can rotate my picture, but at some point when I want to rotate, I just get message that says something like document has not acceleration turned on. Other documents may be alright.
Is there some control where I can turn back on the acceleration for a specific document when it has lost it? Is there some registry hack that would disable this loosing of acceleration of some documents (except the known hack which will force the acceleration on old gpu's).
My 2 passions in life are Photography and Gaming (disclaimer: other than my wife and kids).
I need a fast gaming GPU for, well, gaming and a pro-level card so I can use the 10-bit per channel colour depth on my monitor with Photoshop and Lightroom. (Does LR 5 even support wide gamut screens?) I'm thinking of installing both in one PC, and connecting both cards to the same monitor (using a DVI and DP connector). I could then use the monitor input selector to decide which input to view.
The question is, if I'm using the 10-bit colour card for Photoshop/Lightroom would I get any of the benefits of the gaming card when doing things like processing RAW files, applying filters, etc?
I can only afford a good gaming card and entry level pro card. The cards I have in mind are an nVidia GTX 780 Ti and AMD FirePro V3900
I've purchased full extended master collection and had my 3D option work just fine.
I've recently updated all softwares and now that I go access my 3D it won't let me.
I previously had a few CS5 apps installed. They were volume license versions of some sort available through the school I was working at. (I don't know the details of the installation — the school network guys did it for me.) In these apps, the Update command was also unavailable ... I sort of assumed it was something odd with the install (maybe the update manager was not included) so I downloaded and installed updates manually from Adobe.com.
I have since left the school and dumped the apps. I just picked up a personal copy of Photoshop CS6. I find that the "Updates" command is still unavailable, but this is a regular install so I am crying foul.
I found this page about disabling the update manager for CS5 and CS6. I checked and sure enough I had a copy of AdobeUpdaterAdminPrefs.dat with updates suppressed, as mentioned in the article. Must be left over from my previous CS5 install, as I sure have never touched that file myself. However, upon removing it, my "Updates" command is still not available.
Is there some other way that updates can be disabled that I have not found yet? Is there a way to launch the update manager outside of the application?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI just downloaded a trial version of Photoshop CS6 and noticed that I had an extremely reduced choice of file extensions at the moment I wanted to save my work. In fact, I wanted to save it in .tga, but the option disappeared from the list. The PSD file I want to save only has 4 layers, 3 of which use an alpha channel; the 4th being a plain black background.
And the weirdest thing is that when I create a new, empty file, I can save it as a .tga image, along with a lot of other extensions that disappeared for the other image. Like, I can't even save my first pic in BMP. I only can use PNG, JPG, CIN, IFF, TIFF, and 2 or 3 others. Oh and by the way, it's the x64 version. But it does the same thing with the x32 one. I tried already.

View 2 Replies View RelatedWhen my system crashed I had to upgrade from Windows XP Pro to Windows 7. Trying to reinstall I found that CS2 is no longer supported.
After I jumped through the necessary hoops I was able to re-install CS2. It worked OK for a while, but now I find that the nested tools in the toolbox are unavailable.
Up to 2 days ago I had ATI Catalyst 12.2 installed. I was able to check all the boxes in the Advanced Graphics Processor Settings dialog and they stayed set. Specifically, I had [ ] Use OpenCL set and Photoshop CS6 worked very well.
Because I need to know about the quality of newer drivers for my own product development, I upgraded my ATI driver suite to the current version - Catalyst 12.4.
Unfortunately, this caused new problems I hadn't had before - specifically a number of GPU-accelerated features didn't work, such as Oil Paint, which would appear to try to start then just exit a split second later. And with Catalyst 12.4 the [ ] Use OpenCL setting became unavailable (grayed-out).
With my own testing done, I decided to completely uninstall the ATI Catalyst 12.4 suite, and drop back to Catalyst 12.2.
This was a simple matter of uninstalling everything AMD then rebooting (with the Windows driver), then installing Catalyst 12.2. That went smoothly. However, now I still do not find the [ ] Use OpenCL box has become available again - it's grayed out:
there are no remnants from the 12.4 drivers left on my system (though there's a possibility I could have missed something), and everything from the 12.2 set installed successfully, so the question is this:
Did Photoshop sense something about the 12.4 driver set, then set some kind of permanent "No OpenCL" flag in its own configuration settings? Here's my system info with the 12.2 drivers installed. Note the "OpenCL: Unavailable" entry. URL....
Note that all my GPU-accelerated features seem to work... Oil Paint works and is plenty fast, the various Blur tools work nice and fast, I can do 3D rendering (though there's one small glitch I've had since Photoshop CS6 was released where occasionally it becomes unresponsive for a few seconds at a time while doing 3D work). But it does finally respond.
I see this freqeuently when I play my actions.
Right now all my adjustment layer actions wont work.
Then sometimes it works later. what is this?
I'm a long time user of Gimp. I use it for work and my work involves editing images on the scale of 22000 x 22000 px. With the Gimp 2.8 RC1 the release notes state the GPU acceleration can be enabled with the command line "GEGL_USE_OPENCL=yes"
How do I enable this line? Is it through starting Gimp via a batch file? I'm using the Windows 64 bit binaries so perhaps this was a switch that needed to be set during compiling Gimp. I'm not quite adept at compiling programs though...
How to enable GPU acceleration (or if it's already enabled). Otherwise... other performance improving tips. 16GB of DDR3-1600 works with a cache size of 10GB but my 1090T @ 4ghz can't push pixels fast enough.
