Photoshop :: Workstation Or Desktop Video
Jun 13, 2013
My new Dell U2713H is on its way, and I need a new video card to take advantage of it. I work mainly with Photoshop and Illustrator, with a little bit of Video and 3D. No games whatsoever.
Â
How much video memory do I need? When I look at the Nvidia Quadro series, there's a big jump in price from entry-level to mid-level, but only the mid-level has 2GB. For desktop cards, even some of the lower-end ones have 2GB. Would the extra memory be good for working with image stacks and panorama stitching?
Â
For the more expensive desktop cards, are you mostly paying for enhanced gaming capabilities, or would it be a general overall improvement in performance?
Â
Most of the reviews I see for workstation cards are oriented towards people who do do a lot of 3D. Like I said, I don't do a lot, but I do some. Would something like a Quadro K600 give me a performance boost in Photoshop? Or might I be just as happy with a lower-mid-range desktop card?

I am running Lightroom 5.3 and a fairly fresh install of Windows 8.1 / 64 bit. It works perfectly when I use my local machine, but when I access Lightroom over Microsoft Remote Desktop from another computer, as soon as I try to open a video, Lightroom crashes.
Â
I have tried reinstalling, rebuildin library, etc. But, it still crashes every time. I'm pretty sure this is a bug with the software.
Â
I use remote desktop for most of my lbrary management and it's really frustrating when it crashes all the time (note that it will crash often just if I go to to the video folder, even if I don't try to play one!)

I am currently running a quad-care, 4 gigs, with a nvidia 8800gts 640mb graphics card machine and using photoshop cs4 extended with windows xp 32 bit os.
While photoshop cs4 is fairly fast and responsive, I would like to have it even quicker.
My question is, what would make this happen?
Naturally a faster processor (i7 intel) would assist in this, but I rather not go that route. I would rather go to a 64bit OS and add additional 4 gigs of ram (total of 8). What would your suggestions be?
Add the additional 4 gigs of ram and go to 64-bit xp? 64 bit vista?
Build a new machine with i7 quad cpus, 16 gigs of ram and 64 bit os?
Simply use what I got because there will not be much of an improvement?
I would like to have it run faster without a great deal of reworking the system. Clearly what I am running now is pretty darn fast even though it is a year old since I built it.

I have a license for 2013 Ultimate Entertainment Suite. I'm wanting to set up batch rendering on a second workstation. Does this license allow for batch rendering on 2nd workstation while you still design on 1st workstation?

My boss just came in and wants to get a new workstation with Windows 7 64bit on it. We are, however, out of copies of AutoCAD 2007 to install but have many 2006 copies. Will 2006 run under Win7? If so, how reliably? Or should I suggest getting 2012?

I have tried to load dbconnect on several 64 bit workstations usinf "dbc" and "dbconnect". In all cases AutoCAD Map 3d stops working. Generally, the workstation just spins and you have to end the program with task manager, but I do have on Win 7 machine that crashes all the way out. There is never an AutoCAD error message or opportunity to report the issue to Autodesk.

After shelling out a pretty penny for Inventor 2012, my boss set me up with a less-than-adequate off-the-shelf PC. I don't need faster visualizations as I'm not dealing with super complex assemblies, maybe 100-200 parts. I also don't care about ray-tracing while modeling. My problem is it took 24 hours to render a 65 second animation (about 1000 frames).
my boss is going to allow me to build a new, more inventor optimized workstation. I am using studio to do fairly complex animations. Fades, camera changes, constraint animations, all rendered with higher quality. I need a computer that will render quickly, and possibly higher quality if available.
I don't fully understand the whole "Direct X vs OpenGL" stuff. What should I spend my money on, knowing that rendering, not modeling is where I need improvement. I am thinking AMD system to save $$. Also, what to look for, fast bus, cache, etc. Just remember, I need faster RENDERING in STUDIO ANIMATIONS.

I need to move projects and clips from an old system drive (restored from system crash, unbootable) to a new install on a new disk.
Is there a "best practice" for moving projects?
It looks like this
Disk1 (old)
/usr/discreet/clip/stonefs7/old projects
/usr/discreet/project/old projects
Disk2 (new)
/usr/discreet/clip/stonefs7/
/usr/discreet/project/

One of my co-workers is having trouble with pdfs. Â He can bring them into the drawing, but they show up as dots, and he cannot see anything else.
When I open the same file, the pdf is there plain as day.
Already re-installed CAD.

I have the following path declared for a R2007 workstation:
(setq rr (strcat "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Autodesk\AutoCAD\R17.0\ACAD-5001:409\Profiles\" (getvar 'CPROFILE)))
How can I extract this path without manually declaring it?
Something like:
(VL-Get-Registry-Path-Prefix (getvar 'CPROFILE))
Which will result in the following statement:
(setq rr (strcat (VL-Get-Registry-Path-Prefix (getvar 'CPROFILE)) (getvar 'CPROFILE)))

I don't like Lightroom, and when I tried the trial of CS6, I could not find a way to get rid of the big box that obscures the desktop. Is there a way to default back to the "classic CS5" look? Also, I prefer the previous version of Camera RAW.

I recently purchased Photoshop Elements 6, for my Macintosh OS X. Though I've looked everywhere on the menu, I can't find a way to keep my desktop in the background. The only way I can get a view of my desktop is if I keep switching back and forth to the help section of PSE 6. Any enlightenment on how to keep my desktop visible all time, while using the PSE 6,

I have PS CS5 on my laptop and desktop. I have Mac os x 10.6.4 on both computers. I have a new Lexmark s605 printer set up wireless that I use for general stuff and an Epson 2400 for photos.
I can print from all applications to the Lexmark from my desktop except Photoshop CS5. It goes to the print queue and shows "Printing page 1 of 1" but just hangs, never prints. I can print from PS CS5 from my desktop to my Epson 2400. I can print from PS CS5 (wireless) from my laptop with no problem.
I have uninstalled and reinstalled the printer and PS CS5 on my desktop, same result. All the firmware, systems and applications are up to date. I am using 64 bit which prints from the laptop. I tried 32 bit just for the heck of it from the desktop and it did not make a difference. I've tried Lexmark support and Adobe support without much luck.  Adobe says it is Lexmark, Lexmark says it is Adobe. Adobe says it does not support networked printers?Â

Very strange reactions from Photoshop CS6 when used on my Lenovo ThinkPad in an extended desktop situation. Any attempt to open an image in Photoshop is unsuccessful in showing the actual image, despite the layers box showing the thumbnail, the "open ifle" text box at the top indicating it is open, and the image details box also indicating correct data for the image file. If I close down extended desktop Photoshop works just fine. If I extend the desktop once Photoshop is running, I can move the open window to the extended desktop and it also works fine. Once I close Photoshop I am back to square one.

When I signed up for the Cloud, the desktop application manager for CC wasn't installed on my computer, so now, when I try to update or install something new (Photoshop CC for instance), I get a message to do it from my desktop. Since I don't have the Cloud application on my desktop, I can't do this!

I have Photoshop CS3 on a PC running Windows Vista. When I try to batch or automate I cannot access any files other than the desktop. If I do file>automate>batch and then go to choose folder, the only folders I can access is the desktop. There are no plus signs and no other options except desktop. The same thing happens if I go file>scripts>image processor. Someone told me this could be a permissions problem with Vista.

I just made something in cs2 and put it as my desktop wallpaper, it was from a simple tutorial. I was just wondering how I could add some more color or how to jazz it up a little. Right now, it seems kind of plain.

I use Remote Desktop quite a bit to login to my computer and use programs installed on there. A frequent one is Adobe Photoshop. When I do my work in Remote Desktop everything works great, but when I'm actually at home on my pc it loads everything and the splash screen goes away and then all of a sudden it has "Photoshop CS4 has stopped working" error.
It turns out it is doing this with all of my adobe products. I am using Vista 32-Bit and all the products are CS4. One more thing I noticed is if I open Photoshop in remote desktop then login to my computer I can use it without error.

i recently fixed a virus on my computer after a few days hard work tracking it down, and since then i have experienced no blue screens anymore, but i had a probel with explorer.exe where it used sometimes over 800MB of memory doing nothing. With more research and monitoring, i discovered its cause was actually a corupt music file on my desktop, and every time i refreshed my desktop, explorer's memory usage would jump up a few dozen more kb of memory.
This is now fixed. BUT, i still have one symptom of something wrong, that doesnt seem to go. My PC is back to being fast it seems now, and there is no noticable real lag between just opening folders like there was, but my desktop still has problems. If i close a full screen program, the computer doesn't exactly slow down, its just the program closes very slightly slower than normal because it closes from top to bottom.
MSN in particular, always leves it's title bar behind when closed. And if i click and drag on my desktop, the little dashed box it makes sticks and doesn't go away. All of this is resolved by a refresh of the desktop, but it doesn't explain why it is happening. Windows XP 32bitNVidia 9800GTX GPU4GB RAM

Here we have a wallpaper I am trying to pick apart piece by piece. To do so, I am making my own with a different character, color scheme, etc. I am just using this wallpaper as a guide since I like the general layout quite a bit.
There are a few areas I would like help with, but first...
Here is what I have worked out.
1. The hex grid I have made, along with the fill patterns and split character image (thanks to Aegis.)
Here is where I am stumped.
1. How do you created the white transparent "reticule-esque" areas in the center of the page. I assume you could create something in illustrator and import it, or work in photoshop alone. But the shapes seem quite complicated and I was curious if anyone had any ideas how to best create them. I know you would certainly need to use the grid to keep things lined up.
2. The other area of interest is the series of small white vertical bars coming off each black horizontal line. Each on is maybe 10 pixels in height and fades from white to transparent as they move up. Making one wouldn’t be too hard (Perhaps using a brush with a fade setting or filling a Marquee with a gradient), but making 200 seems like it might be tough. I suppose you could make a pattern and "fill" alone the length of the black lines, but there might be a better way.
3. The character has some really net white blur/highlighting going on especially on the top and bottom sections. If I had to take a guess, Id say a filter was probably used, though I have no idea which. That or maybe brightness/contrast settings.

During the download process it failed and now the Cloud desktop app is missing from my computer and I can't find a way to get it back.

My studio has been using the Photoshop COM interop to do some automation which has worked really well for us, but just today I got this COM exception:
System.OutOfMemoryException: Retrieving the COM class factory for component with CLSID {99AEA70E-4D13-44BF-A878-33345CBFCBC8} failed due to the following error: 8007000e Not enough storage is available to complete this operation. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8007000E (E_OUTOFMEMORY)).Â
Â
which was weird since I wasn't anywhere close to being OOM...my system has 32 GB and i still had 16+GB free and ~600 GB of space on my HDD.
Â
In any case, after that event, when I start Photoshop, the UI is active for maybe about 5 seconds before it becomes unresponsive and sits frozen for about 3 or 4 minutes before it goes 'magic-desktop'....crashes with no errors or dialogs.Â
Â
Any runtime logs that Photoshop CS6 generates where I can look for more info on what might be going on?
