I need to do for a WEB many PNG icons (aprox. 70x70 pixels e/a). There will be like 20 of them loaded in the WEB at the same time. which kind of compression I should pick when I save as a PNG: "None/Fast" or "Smallest/Slow", and "Interlaced" or notMy main concern is that the WEB page should load them the fastest possible.Â
View 3 RepliesI rcently installed PS CS on my Dell Inspiron 8500 notebook, a P4 2.6GHz, 1GB RAM, 64Mb GeForce 4 4200 (15.4" WUXGA+ 1680x1050), Hitachi 60GB 7,200rpm disk, DVD+RW and it so unbelievably slow. I cannot even do a simple Elliptical Marquee without having to wait ages (a lot of disk I/O activity). The settings of CS are at default. It's completely put me off this software-am I missing something here?

I am curious if anyone here knows how to really optimize the performance of photoshop CS. I am not getting very good performance, but I don’t know what is wrong. I am a pretty savvy user, so I can set settings and understand whatever I need to, I am just ignorant right now of what photoshop needs to really run at it’s best.
My system and setup is such:
-2.8 p4 hyperthreading
-2 gigs 400mhz pc3200 ram
-serial ATA C: drive, 80 gig
-serial ATA D: drive, 80 gig
-120 gig IDE partitioned, S: (10 gig scratch disk) and T: (110 gig storage)
-128meg Geforce 4 ti…
That is the basic setup of my performance parts. Everything is defragged and the computer runs fine.
My windows settings are:
-Processor Scheduling set to Programs
-Memory Usage set to System Cache
-one page file, set to the C: drive, 2000-3000 MB
My photoshop settings are:
-First Scratch is set to the S: drive (10 gig partition)
-Second scratch is set to the D: drive
-Cache Levels are at 8
-Available RAM is 86% = 1528mb
That is the basic setup.
Here is my problem – photoshop runs pretty clunky For instance, I just opened up a 2.17 meg image, first image of the day to be opened. Immediately my scratch indicator in the status bar reads “Scr: 1.91G/1.44G” and the actual file on the S: drive is 1.93 gigabytes. Also, the photoshop efficiency is at 24%. This is all without having done ANYTHING in photoshop so far. I opened the program, opened a 2 meg file, and those are the results I get.
It typically just gets worse from there. I’ll get major slowdowns, my efficiency will drop to 4 or 3%, the Scratch indicator will sometimes read “Scr: 2.31G/1.44G” or worse. Sometimes photoshop locks up for about 20 seconds or more, the title bars all go white like it’s not responding, and then comes back.
So I am at a loss. I have the hard drives, ram, and CPU for photoshop CS to run fast, right? I don’t see what it isn’t, unless I have something totally set to reduce performance in my swap file or scratches or something.
I did notice that zoom in or out in camera raw is slow , even in middle pc , i'm not talking about hi end pc but i did find it's amazing fast if use process 2003 or 2010. May i use like default the 2003 or 2010 ? How can i do it?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI am working on six very similar map documents. They all are moderately complex with layering, drop shadows, and some placed raster files. I have linked rather than embedded the big tif raster files.
Â
The confusing thing is that some of the illustrator files save in 2 seconds, and some of the files save in 2 minutes.I have compared all the settings, and I don't see what I'm doing different on the ones that take a long time to save. All big placed files are linked, not embedded.
Â
The only clue showing a difference is that the files that are taking a long time to save are about 200mb in size. The files that are saving quickly are about 1mb in size.
Or is there no fast forward or fast rewind in the timeline. Like double tapping the "L" key or something in other programs...

We are finalizing a monster PC build with all the bessl and whistles for our Marketing Director who lives by Adobe Creative Suite. We have installed CS6.My question is in regards to Wacom tablets ( which he has never used previousloy)

There is a BIG diffrence in price, and being a beginer tablet user (and me being WAY over budget.. As in I have more in his PC than I have in some servers..) What do I need to be aiming at? A bamboo or a new Intuos?
Â
If I go bamboo I can get the largest, if I go Intuos I can go the smallest...What is the difference between the two different Wacom tablet series anywho?

PS.. I wanted to add that I am posting it here because as some of you can imagine, corp. doesn't get everything you graphic gurus want.. This designer at our office is a really neat person and has always wanted a tablet.. I want to surprise him with one tha I went back to the store after my first post and looked again and am beyond confused at the differences between the largest bamboo and smallest intuos5 besides the size difference..
Got a Blueray player with a USB port so I don't need dvd's any more for my homemade videos. What settings & formats do I need to get my MPEG2 DVD files small and sharp like those movies downloaded off the internet? My videos have bitrates 8000 and smaller and 1.5 - 2.0 hr take up 4g. Those off the internet are 900 bit rate and are about 600-700 mb and are crystal clear. I've converted some 5000 bit rate files to MP4 H.264 (what my Blueray player uses) at 1000 & 1500 bit rate and they are still pretty large and not as clear as the originals. I could sure store a lot of videos @ 700 mb on a memory stick vs 1.5 or 2 gig files I've been able to convert to MP4's but don't want to loose quality especially if I want to delete the masters.

Â
From some experienced designers in the print arena, what is the smallest size text you should use on things like this? Is there a standard, does it vary from piece to piece etc....any additional info is good..I am designing a 4x4 card, so this piece is a little bigger than a standard business card. Right now 9 pt is the smallest text on my card.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have some images lots of them(like over 200) and I want the fastest easiest way to remove the background and keep the look of the text(ie nothing gets lost from it).
I am going to save them as transparent gifs but like I said I don't know how to do them very fast.
They all are black on white:
The best way to describe it is that the cursor vibrates very fast in some circumstances, especially when using the Brush tool and adjusting its size using Cmd + Alt + Drag, as well as pressing Alt to sample a color when using the Brush tool. The issue does not happen when using the eyedropper tool.

This has been around in both Photoshop CS6 and CC, on both OS X Mountain Lion and Mavericks. I have reproduced the bug on both my Late 2008 MacBook Pro using a Wacom Bamboo Fun, a Wacom Intuos 4 and a Wacom Intuos 5 (all with latest drivers) and same with four new iMacs running both Mountain Lion and Mavericks. It does not happen with a mouse. It cannot be interference, as I can always reliably reproduce this is three separate cities around the world.
Â
If the Wacom tablet was sending jittery coordinates to the computer, then surely the mouse cursor would also vibrate, or at least the Eyedropper tool would exhibit the same bug that the Brush tool while pressing Alt to color sample does.
Â
To test it, please use a Wacom pen and try adjusting the brush size using Cmd + Alt + Drag, as well as using the brush tool and pressing Alt to sample a color (preferably on a photo or noise so that you can clearly see the difference between various pixels and colors. Be sure to not be zoomed in too much, try zooming to 100% or less, otherwise the pixels are too far from each other for the jitter to make a difference.
I often use the ruler tool. Its located below the eyedropper tools.
How can I bring up this tool to select it with one fast click - instead of long clicking at the eyedropper to wait the popping up the (sub)tools.
The shortcut "I" only selects the first of the tools.

I've been using VS 11.5 Plus for several years with no problem. Recently, I received a new camcorder, a Sony HDR-CX305 which produces .MTS files. I can open the files with VLC and Windows Media Player. For editing in VS, I chose to use proxy files. When I put the files on the timeline and play them in project mode, everything is fine (display & sound). But in clip mode, the clip is played really fast, less than 1 second, which makes difficult the editing.. I tried with smart proxy disabled : same problem.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a new camera which records in AVCHD format. I have transferred the video files from my camera to the computer. I have compiled a project on Video Studio ProX2. When I playback each clip they play at normal speed. When I playback the project before copying onto a disc the playback is very fast. I have also got as far as sharing the project onto a disc but when I click on preview the playback is again very fast. I see that I can slow down the playback but this also slows down any speech on the video.
I have used Video studio PRox for a couple of years now with great success with an old Sony Handycam but I must need to do something to the new format to play it back at normal speed.
Our company has lots of drawings/part-numbers that have anywhere from 2-9 sheets. These are all saved as individual .dwg files. I am looking to Xref the "extra" files in one main file and make layouts of those Xrefs for ease of plotting.Â
As we only have LT, we obviosly can't use the "Sheet Set Manager", and this is the best way I know how to do this. Is there a fast way of creating layouts (other than right clicking and selecting "Page Setup Manager"?

At the moment i am exporting a video which is 1hour and 20 minutes long and have manged to get the export time down to 30-40minutes

I have always been trying to figuring out how to get faster exporting times for a long time now, is it dependant on the sequance settings as well?
I am buying a laptop for AE for mobile reasons.does the fast preview(so the instant result after changing an effect value you get in the preview window) depend on gpu or cpu, or both depending on what effects are used? I am looking at a 670mx for cuda, but 7970m for dominant opengl scores.
Â
Will these 2 gpu's give me different performances regarding fast preview,or is looking into different gpu's not a worthy question yet due to After effects mostly being a cpu heavy program? Now i know all that ray tracing acceleration and how nvidia cards are necessary for that, but this is regarding fast preview only.
I have installed Videosudio Pro X5 yesterday and I've encountered a really strange problem.
When I select the movie itself and view it in the preview window it looks fine.
However if I select any individual clip in the library or timeline the preview plays through at high speed. It will play through a 40 second video in less then 2 seconds.
Here's where it gets really weird. If I go into options and change the volume from 100 to 101 it will play at normal speed.It's annoying have to do this everytime I want to play a clip.
