I thought it interesting enough to share because of the odd discussions we've had around drives in recent months. a lot of the regular posters seem to be conspicuous by their absence since I got back from my trip. Have they all been at Photoshop World? URL....
View 1 RepliesI'm just wondering if it is normal I don't have the 3D feature in Photoshop CS6. I had it installed in my old laptop (an old one with a AMD Vision processor) and the 3D option was available, but after I moved all my old programs to my new one (a Windows 7, 64 bits, Intel Core i5, Intel HD 3000 Graphics video card) this option is not available. I dunno if it's due to the fact that OpenCL is not available in my laptop or if it's anything else.

Quad Core Intel® Xeon® Processor E5420 (2.50GHz,2X6M L2,1333)
or
Intel® Corei7-920 Processor(8MB L2 Cache, 2.66GHz)
I have read some potential instabilities with the i7 processor, CS4, Vista 64 bit. But maybe this is old info and this processor is fine.
I'm trying to figure out how many/how big drives/SSD or hard drives I need to get for a quad-core Mac Pro, and am stuck when it comes to the scratch disk.
Â
1) How do I determine how big a scratch disk needs to be in Photoshop CS4 extended (Mac)? I've come across a few sites which explain how to calculate this but they're very technical and hard to grasp IMHO.
Â
2) Where do SSDs come into the equation? Obviously they're still too expensive and small for file storage, but will a SATA-3 SSD (connected to a SATA-3 PCIe card if the onboard SATA-3 interface will be a bottleneck) do wonders as a scratch disk? I've read opinions that go both ways on this. Or are they mostly for use as a system and applications boot drive? And does it make much of a (real world) difference to use a SATA-3 SSD/PCIe interface or just stick with the SATA-II interface already available?
Â
3) Apart from Photoshop, do other applications use a scratch disk as well (Lightroom for instance, which I also use)? It seems a waste to dedicate a hard drive or SSD just for Photoshop alone.
I have access to the educational version of Autocad Civil 3D 2014. I am familiar with the program, but unfortunatley I can't access the Planning and Analysis Workspace in the workspace pulldown menu. Infact I can't find it anywhere. How I can download it? Or even customize my own tab so that I have a similar layout to the planning and analysis workspace

How many graphic memory can it handle? Who is better performer, Intel HD Graphics 4400 or Radeon 6600M?
Mac Pro - When trying to print a file it quits instantly and you have to restart Photoshop... Now, this only happens AFTER you crop the image... if you print the unaltered photoshop file it prints fine.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI 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 am thinking of getting a new laptop that uses the Intel 4500hmd video processor. This uses shared memory, but the laptop would come with 4GB RAM and run with the Vista 64 bit OS. The latest Intel driver claims the 4500 has open GL 2.0. Has anyone on the forum used the Intel 4500HMD successfuly with Photoshop CS4.Â
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have bought my first mac, a brand new Mac Pro dual 2.6ghz.
I am a graphic artist, and so of course photoshop cs2 will be the main program I use. I am wondering how they will be running on the Intel chip that is shipping with the MacPro.
I know that the macbook and imac both run a different intel chip, does CS2 run pretty good on those? Or are the intel mac users at a serious disadvantage until adobe releases a universal version of photoshop?
I'm a graphic designer on a terribly limited budget and need a new laptop.I've been looking at the Lenovo G580 laptop, which has:
8GB RAM, 3rd Generation Intel Core i5-3210M Processor( 2.50GHz 1600MHz 3MB)Intel HD Graphics 4000. Ever tried the Intel HD Graphics 4000 on CS5.5, with emphasis on Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign?
When using Photoshop CS6 on Windows 8 [Surface Pro], it randomly crashes. I normally can only use Photoshop for less than a minute, doing less than ten actions, before it crashes. I get an error message saying "Adobe Photoshop CS6 has stopped working." If I debug it using Visual Studio, I get this message:
Â
Unhandled exception at 0x5442B60E (ig7icd32.dll) in Photoshop.exe: 0xC0000005: Access violation reading location 0x0000002C.
Â
I looked up ig7icd32.dll and it seems to be published by Intel and related to my graphics hardware, so I assume the problem is related to my Intel HD Graphics 4000.how to fix this problem or as to what might be causing it?
Â
EDIT:Also, when launching Photoshop, I get this message:
Â
Photoshop has encountered a problem with the display driver, and has temporarily disabled enhancements which use the graphics hardware. Check the manufacturer's website for the latest software.

Graphics hardware enhancements can be enabled in the performance panel of preferences.For more information, visit:[URL]...All my drivers are fully updated, and all Windows updates are installed. No other applications have any problems with my graphics hardware.

So do I just chuck that money away and fork out for another prologize? What is the next version?
I have Adobe Design Collection (before it became CS this and that...)
 Â
eg Photoshop 7
Illustrator 10

I've installed Illustrator 10. Fine. It recognised the lack of Classic environment and installed. It runs ok. But Photoshop 7. It installed as per above. But when it attempts to load it hangs with the error, "An unexpected and unrecoverable problem has occurred because of a program error. Photoshop will now exit."

I like to use the sharpen feature and the unsharp mask feature but haven't gotten very good at it. Mostly I'm wondering if there is a way to calibrate the sharpen function so that it doesn't sharpen quite so much each time I click it.
View 2 Replies View RelatedIt is stated quite clearly on Corel's website that Video Studio Pro X3 is "Enhanced! NVIDIA® CUDA™ GPU acceleration and Intel® Core™ i7 CPU optimization "
Post on this forum seem to indicate a serious problem and that users with i7 processors have to change their Bios settings each time they use Video Studio and disable one of the great features of this CPU, i.e. Hyperthreading. Is this true or only under certain conditions ?
I am a new VSX5 user. I installed the software last night, and today when I tried uploading a picture (PNG) to the timeline, I got the following error message: "These files cannot be added to this project. These files may be of unknown file format. The computer does not have enough memory or the file is copyright protected." I am able to add a video to my timeline. The picture was a screen shot from an ipad I took, so I doubt it is copyright protected.
When it comes to computer parts, and things of that nature, I don't necessarily know too much. Upon research my Toshiba Satellite C655-S5512 (low end computer, but it was all I could afford earlier this year) has an Intel Pentium B960 processor. Is that why I'm getting that error? And, is there anyway to be able to use this software in the mean time until I upgrade to a desktop computer in a month or two?
I updated the Video Studio Prox5 software with the Service Pack1.
This is what my system is running on:
Intel Pentium CPU B960 2.2GHZ processor
RAM: 4.0GB
64-bit operating system
If I upgrade my RAM, will that work?
Just downloaded a trial of VideoStudio X4, so far so good. However, is there an option inside the program to use Intel Quick Sync or does the program does detect and use it automatically when you encode with H264?

I am using photoshop cs2 and i am naming my folders and layers.
When i copy a folder, photoshop give me the option of renaming the folder but automatically add a ' copy' after the name of each layer in the newly copied folder.
So each layer in my folder look like this:
rectangle copy
name copy
text copy
etc.
I noticed that in the switch from 7 to CS, the 3D render filter was replaced by fiber filter. Is it gone for good or just misplaced?
Kinda sad, I really liked how it bent graphics in a more true to life way than with pucker and bloat. Has anyone come across a plug-in that does 3D goodness? I don't want to sit around and wait for Lightwave to render the simple shapes that PS used to do in shorter time.
I noticed that I can no longer ctrl+click a layer and that layer will be made into a selection.
