Photoshop :: Install And Config
Sep 1, 2007
I am about to do some reconfiguring of my system so I figured I'd find the best way to optimize for Photoshop.
I currently have Windows (and page file), Photoshop (and all other apps) and data on my C: drive (7200 RPM - 80 gigs of free space). My D: drive is a separate physical drive (not a partition) with 45 gigs of free space. I store photos and music here and use it as my Photoshop Scratch disk.
I am buying a new 500 gb USB drive to use as storage (for things like photos and music) and backup. All of the contents of the D: drive will be moving to the new drive thus leaving me with 80 gb of free space on the D: drive.
My questions:
1. Should I continue to run Photoshop on the same drive as my OS?
2. I plan to move my 'data' (files I edit with Photoshop or Illustrator etc.) to my D: drive. Is this OK or should it be on the same drive Photoshop is on?
3. Assuming I move my data to my D: drive... I read that Photoshop berforms best when its Scratch Disk is an empty, unfragmented disk with plenty of room. Since I do not have an empty hard drive to spare, which will yield better performance:
A. Partition my D: drive (which will leave me with D: and E. Use D: for my .PSD and .AI files. Use E: as my Photoshop Scratch Disk
or
B. no partition. Use D: for my .PSD and .AI files as well as for my Potoshop Scratch Disk

My PS is starting to get a little out of control and I hope one of you guys can steer me in the right direction with this.
I do quite a bit of stuff in hi rez (300 dpi) switching back and forth between actual pixel view and fit on screen modes. Recently my "fit on screen" mode wants to keep getting bigger and bigger and no longer snaps back to the correct screen size. Does anyone know how I can fix this?
The other question should be pretty simple. I want to change the default blending options. Things like stroke, inner and outter glow color etc.

Recently migrated from windows to mac os and only using this version on a macbook for now until I feel confident to changeover the studio workstation after many years and trying to find some familiar ways around as I have been used to working on LT2004 (although I have upgraded many times I just never really got on with the newer pallettes etc and revert to the tried and tested version to keep productivity at work)
- Is it possible to config the content pallette so I can rotate blocks at the time of insertion without having to either post rotate them individually from the model space or use the insert command which appears not to be as graphically friendly as the content pallette which looks excellent for compiling good for libraries but the option to at least rotate.
- Is there a quick and easy to changing linetypes on the fly from a flyout menu on the toolsets... is there any other way round this without having to access the pull down from the properties inspector pallette as that method consumes quite a bit of screen space?

DWG configuration? I keep trying different configurations but none are acceptable to our quality department.
What I need is for dimensions to retain associativeness(not exploded), and for the dimensions to retain their fit (i.e. look like they do in the idw)

The Pagesetup isn't showing up in the Pagesetup dialog.
But when I close the drawing and open it up it's visible.
What am I missing here? Still new with this transaction concept...

I want to have an application settings file stored centrally on a network drive. In the past I have used INI files, and for a Windows app would now use an app.exe.config XML file. My question is: what is the preferred technique for storing shared settings centrally for an AutoCAD .dll plug-in? It seems even for a full Windows app that the app.exe.config file can't be located on a network drive, but I could be mistaken. In any case that doesn't appear an option for a .dll plug-in. Everyone comments that INI files "are so 90s", but I can't see an alternative.

We have a big problem on several PC's with Acad Map 3D
if the users import their old (Acad 2010 Map 3D) files where symbollists and view settings are stored.
After a restart of Acad it hangs up with following Errors (See attached).
We can solve this issue temporary with restoring the defaults.
So the problem is importing old files so i think it is not campatible with this old acad 2010 files.
Is there a way to import such old files?

The best way to have normal AutoCAD objects (lines, plines, arcs) adhere to the Display Configurations.
My original idea was to contain all of the 'vanilla linework' in one Multi-View Block per Construct, thereby enabling me to set the Display Properties for that MVB and have the linework show/hide depending on my Display Config. I end up having to 'edit block in-place' if I want to change anything, which seems to work but there has got to be a better way.
My only other idea was to somehow link Layer Filters (which I'm unfamiliar with, and probably using the wrong term) to the Display Configs so that depending on the current Config, certain layers would be frozen/thawed. This seems like the way to do it, but it is not obvious to me how I might be able to achieve this through the Display Manager.

Our office is currently running Inventor 2012, with SP2 installed (Build 219) and the program still seems unable to fully save and utilize a defualt configuration setting for exporting DXF flat patterns of sheet metal parts. Our laser machine requires AutoCAD 2000 DXF, and while I'm able to save a configuration file (.ini) with this setting, I still have to click on the "Options" button and then click "Finish" or it will save to the standard default AutoCAD 2010 DXF file version and our laser will be unable to read the file.

I have an HP Designjet 800 that is currently loaded with a 36" roll. I'd like to print to ANSI D in a landscape orientation, but D (landscape) isn't an option in the paper size drop down. Printing D in portrait orientation just wastes a bunch of paper space.
How do I change the paper from 22x34 to 34x22? (or vice versa, whichever way I need).

I have CS2 Premium which I'm running on an older PowerPC Mac (G5 - Dual 2.3 GHz ) running OS 10.4.11. I've had this setup for many many years (registered/activated with Adobe) but suddenly one day I could no longer launch my Photoshop app: when I clicked on the Pshop icon it would start the launch (open) procedure ... and then almost instantly it would quit (in just a few seconds ... before the application even got to the 'title/credit' screen).
I've recently tried uninstalling CS2 (everything except Acrobat) and I ended up doing a manual uninstall of Version Cue. I've been on Macs for 20+ years so figured this would be a pretty straightforward procedure - uninstall -> reinstall and then back to work. Nope.
I'm attempting a fresh installation direct from the original CS2 CDs. In any event, when I try to (re)install CS2 - and after going through the standard screens with Adobe's usage terms agreement and installation hard disk selection - I arrive at the screen where one selects which application(s) to install by checking the various boxes (or alternately, to install the entire suite) but the 'Adobe Photoshop CS2/Adobe ImageReady CS2' line and checkbox are grayed out, so it will not allow me to check them and continue with the Photoshop installation process.

I've had a great time using the Web Photo Galleries in Photoshop CS and CS2, especially since I'm fairly deft with HTML and a total Flash dunce, so the Web Photo Gallery Flash 1 and Flash 2 templates have served me well and allowed me to make fun Flash stuff without having to learn. But, with learn-by-doing, there often comes a point of confusion, and I think I've found mine.
I noticed that (when using the gallery "Flash 1"), if I click the little ? in the bottom right, the file name will come on and stay on throughout all the pictures. This is exactly what I want since that's where I do all my captioning and it really adds something for me to be able to see that. My question: how in the world do I get it to do this by default? I'm always telling friends/family, "oh, click the little ? in the bottom right and it'll show the captions," but am certain there must be some way to do this by default.
I fiddled in the galleryconfig.xml file, but there's only this line
HTML Code:
<var symboltype="boolean" name="showHelpButton" value="true" />
which actually just tells the button to be displayed, but not for the thing that happens as a result of pushing the button to stay displayed.

I have photoshop CS6, and I decided to install the trial version of CC. After installing it, there were problems, it kept saying that dynamic link isn't available. I removed it and wanted to re-install it, but I can't do it because according to Creative Cloud I already have Photoshop CC while I don't. I want to try CC but I can't download it.

I have a new build with Win 7 Home 64bit. My original PS was ver. 5 and I've upgraded off of that ever since. I'm up to CS2 (upgrade) but on my new computer PS 5 will not install so I can't install CS2. Any work arounds?
What's the earliest version that will install on Win 7 Home 64?

I signed up for the photo suite, lightroom + photoshop, today. Had no problems at all with lightroom but when photoshop had "downloaded" it said the file was damaged or incomplete. Nothing happened during the install, comp stayed on.. So I am a bit baffled on what happened and how I can fix it. When I go to adobe's site to the download screen for photoshop it just tells me after I click the link that I already have it.

I tried to uninstall Photoshop from the Add/Remove programs menu but when I click remove, nothing pops up either. Is there a way to manually remove Photoshop and re-install it?

I have a desktop and a laptop and have installed PS3 on both as per the terms of the license agreement. However, I have just upgraded my laptop (and uninstalled PS3 off the old laptop), but the installation failed on my new laptop I am guessing because the license key was regarded as invalid as I had done my two permissable installs.

I'm currently keeping up with CS-4 problems, needs, and work arounds prior to a trial download. I'll recheck tha availability today, and tomorrow, and the next day... until.
Currently running CS-3
Win XP Home SP3
AMD 64 bit dual core CPU
2 Gig Memory (maximum allowed for the MB)
A video card that might need replacing (NVidia 7300 with 256 meg)
From the forum, it appears that the installer installs both the 32 bit and 64 bit versions.
As the 64 bit is apparently useless with XP, does the installer 'see" that and only install the 32 bit version? Does the person doing the installing tell it what to install? Do you get both installed no matter what you do?
