I recall reading an adobe post a while back that PS can run on Quadcore or more machines, but that it can only use 2 cores. The others don't really factor in. Now I can only find references to "Multiprocessor" usage, without stating whether that means 2, 4. or 8. Has anyone found specific info on this with regard to PSCS3?

Also I get some strange image resizing errors... If I resize an image I get some kind of grid in it where are only transparent pixels... (changing transformation method to smooth solved the problem for now) What is wrong with PS ... Kind of strange things also happen in ID and Acrobat...?
Ok I thought it could be a float problem with my multicore so I opened the taskmanager and set Photoshop to only use CPU 2, 3 and 4... And everything seems to be ok...
Always setting the CPU cores in the taskmanager wouldn't be the best i can imagine.
I have a model, 3 meshes from realflow I've imported into 3ds to render. now, rendering with quicksilver is crazy stupid fast, it's awesome. But in my viewport, it can take as much as a minute to view the next frame in my animation. I read in the release notes for 2012: [URL] ..... that the Nitrous would use multiple cores for rendering the viewports, but, when I use taskmanager and look at what is being used, only one is being used to update the viewport. My meshes are averaging about 3 million faces each, for a total of about 9 million faces. I do realize that that is fairly huge, but I thought that 3dsmax could handle 20 to 25 million...I'll give you my pc specs as well. This is on my Desktop in my sig. I have tried the nitrous and direct3d drivers.

I have a NVidea Quadro FX 1800 card. The NVidea Control Panel information shows 64 CUDA cores(screen grab attached). Yet the iRay message window shows 0 CUDA cores (screen grab attached).
how I can get the iRay Renderer to use the CUDA cores on my machine?
Is there a way to limit the number of cores which are used by MR during rendering ? I know that I can switch from multi-core to single-core rendering in max configuration but can I ask MR to use only 6 of the 8 cores available in my CPU ?
The purpose is to be able to use the same computer for other tasks waiting for MR rendering to complete (during some test rendering for example), because when all cores are used it's quite impossible to do something else on the same computer.
I am studying Graphic Design at Uni and buying my first mac as well as Adobe Phtotoshop and Illustrator (CS6). I have decided to purchase the 13" MacBook Pro however I am unsure whether there is any advantage of having the Core i7 instead of the Core i5. Can CS6 take advantage of the extra cores?

We have repeated crashing on a scene that uses Light Tracer... if we remove Light Tracer it doesn't crash the nodes. It's particularly annoying that our other nodes are 24 cores and they work fine.
So, the spec of the crashing nodes with 32 cores are AMD Opteron 6276 2.30 ghz 4 processors (8 cores each). 64GB RAM, Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1.
I've a CPU with four cores and also enabled hyperthreading.
But if I do an import by Lightroom it uses at best 25 % of my overall CPU performance.
If it would start many low prio threads, it would speed up my import a lot, as I've import very often 2,000 up to 8,000 pictures.
In my case it could speed up the process by factor 4. And that would be great, as also an Intel i7 with 3.4 GHz has a lot of work to do, so the import of 2,000 images takes in my case perhaps 15 or 20 minutes. I did not watch the time.
Is there any chance, to tell Lightroom to use more threads and spread them over all the (virtual) CPUs?

I started to get this strange error with my Photoshop when making a new document in Photoshop and got the following error: "cannot initiate Photoshop because Photoshop cannot create any more windows".
I thought the easiest thing to do would be to reinstall (Photoshop needs reinstalling extremely often unfortunately), but now when I try and open the program it just give an alert beep and closes back up. Even though I rarely use ImageReady, I opened that up to check and it does the same behavior.
Can anyone tell me what color settings I need to set in photoshop in order to avoid this from happening? It only happens once in a while and I don't know what I've done to fix it or screw it up. What happens is that when I'm in photoshop and I do a "save for web" my document jumps to image ready and when viewing '2 up' for optimization purposes and comparison, I realize that the original view is actually duller in color and does not look like the original in photoshop. The blacks are definitely not as black.
View 1 Replies View Relatedwhen I got my first Macintosh IICX and all of my MacPaint clip art. I don't want to get rid of the clip art because since I'm still using a black ink printer and not upgrading to a color one, the clip art looks nice in newsletters and the like.
Up until this time I had been using SuperPaint which had the New Superbits editing plug-in to refine the pictures so they had the smoother and cleaner lines instead of looking jagged. With my new computer and printer, I'm also getting Photoshop CS packaged with Adobe Creative Suite Premium, which I have never used before. Since I have not received my order yet, I was wondering if anyone could tell me whether Photoshop has the capability of improving the older MacPaint clip art like SuperPaint did with the New SuperBits editing plug-in. Over the past two days, I have been trying like crazy to back-up my pictures with SuperPaint and then re-saving them with Graphic Converter. It's been so incredibly slow that I thought I would go ahead and ask you, the experts, if Photoshop can also improve the quality of my older MacPaint clip art or if I should continue to back-up my clip art like I have been doing.
I have just got back from the Elbow gig and pulled the images off the card. They load up in Bridge but don't have actual picture thumbnails. They are named correctly, ie: IMG_3483.CR2 but they won't open!? Error message says 'Could not complete your request because Photoshop does not recognise this type of file'
I could see them on the back of the camera.

View 3 Replies View Related of Adobe Photoshop v6.0.1 (quite old, I know, but it do all I want and on my old HW I did not plan/want to use any more recent version, because they are HUGE and with just a little preferences trick, I did not need to reinstall my PS - ever ), yet as Czech user, I need my software to type some special characters as well. These are looking like this:
[URL]...
Now the only problem is, that some of them PS just refuse to type. Seven small and seven caps are just wrong. See the line "for PS:"...
I battled the problem even by editing the fonts itsels, because that seems to work with Adobe Illustrator, yet this also cause the edited fonts to be useless in another programs. So I looked deeply and in the Adobe settings in directory Fonts / Reqrd are directory CMaps and perhaps editing the character map used will be better and usable solution? how to do it or even determine with file from the 96 files in the CMaps directory are right now used by Adobe Photoshop?
Everytime I open my CS6, it always show " Could not initialize Photoshop because the preferences file was invalid (it has been deleted)" I reinstalled it but it is still popping out.

View 4 Replies View RelatedA co-worker needs to be able to access certain files that I have created in Photoshop CC. These files are saved as TIFFs, and as part of my workflow, I have just about everything in Groups. She currently has Elements 10 on her system, but that absolutely does not permit access to the Groups and the components within. Because of her job duties, I cannot necessarily justify adding her to the CC account since she does not need PS, AI, ID, or any of the other applications as I do. However, I can easily justify upgrading her to Elements 12...provided it does what we need it to.
