I am thinking of upgrading my PC, but only if the dual-core and quad-core machines will run Photoshop and Lightroom faster than a single core machine (which I have now). Does anyone know if Adobe has upgraded their software (CS3 and Lightroom) to take advantage of the multi-threading that's possible with multi-core PCs?
View 6 RepliesI'm looking purchase a Dell Precision - this one to be precise:
Dell Precision
With the specs below:
Vista® Business x64
Intel Xeon E5440 with riser (2.83GHz,1333FSB,2x6MB,Quad Core
ATI FireGL V7700
2 x 146G,(15,000rpm) SAS Hard Drives (one for a scratch drive) - I have an SCSI (SAS?) drive in work and it seems fast ([I]noisy as hell though![/I])
16GB, 667MHz, ECC Memory (8x2GB)
CS4 Master collection - educational
I'm pretty clueless about Processors and Graphics cards etc, (I just picked the one I could afford)so Quad core, dual core, more than one processor?
Would the 15,000rpm SAS be better than 10,000 sata?
I have been a VS user for a long time now. I am currently using VSPro X5. I have an Intel Core i7-3770K overclocked to about 4.3GHz. I am running a little tuning utility program by intel to validate that when using VSPro X5 it is indeed utilizing only 1 core and about 19% of the CPU. This is irregardless of whether or not I am editing or encoding video. I have selected all of the hardware acceleration options and optimizations to no effect.
I also use MainConcept's encoder to render certain video and have validated that all 4 cores are engaged during the process and about 65% of the CPU is utilized.
I downloaded and installed the trial version of X6 and ran it and used it to process video with the same results as X5.
I am running 64 Bit Win7 Ult.
For the sake of comparisons, an AVI file converted to MPG (720x480, 1500kbps) is converted by: MainConcept at about 200fps VSPro X5 at about 30fps
I can't decide between getting the Amd Dual-Core 64bit 4400 or the 4800 processor. Will I see a big difference in performance with CS2? is the price worth it? I plan to have 4GB of memory on the computer.
I currently use an AMD 32bit 3000 processor with 1GB of ram and the computer can barely handle the files created by my 1Ds Mark II. I add just one layer in CS2 to the file and its all over. My computer slows to a crawl.
Between the two processors below, which would you recommend for a system with Vista 64bit and CS4:
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.
Does anyone know if Bridge in the CS4 version benefits from a dual-core processor?
Those thumbnails take a loooong time. Also, if it does indeed benefit from a 2-core:
1- Does it benefit from a 4-core over a 2-core?
2- And this is a value judgement: Money is tight but am i crazy not to scrape together $200 more to get a 4-core at this date and time even if Bridge does not [yet?] benefit from a 4-core? Do you, in the next 3 years think CS could be hindered by an old 2-core? I will probably get a 12MP camera next year and i often use multiple [3]HDR exposures and often multiple layers. [I already know to get 8GB RAM].
The Samsungs splash screen gets to reading preferences but then says: cs6 has stopped running. I have deleted the prefs file to no avail. The samsung has a nvidia geforce 630.My uac has always been all the way down

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 ?

View 6 Replies View RelatedIs it possible to design a wall where the core boundary lines fall in the middle of a wall layer?
Â
Case in point is a complex wall with an 8" foundation wall that follows a building line along its exterior face. Â Above that is 3'-6" of stone veneer/airspace/sheathing/6" stud/drywall. Â Above that is EIFS/sheathing/6" stud/drywall.
Â
The design calls for an insulation gap between the slab and the foundation and for the top of the wall to be 6" above the first floor level.  The 6" metal stud thus overhangs the top of the foundation wall by 1" on the interior side.
Â
Ideally the floor would be flush and core would simply follow the studs but the building lines (controlled by the grid) control the placement of the foundation wall and no part of the upper wall lines up with the foundation wall.  Even worse the exterior finish falls 1/2" inside the exterior of the wall below and there should be no line drawn there.Â

I'm trying to automate plotting DWG to make PDF.
My File :
My DWG has one model and one paperspace with view of the model.
Each view can have many viewport and has a cartridge.
My Goal :
I want a PDF File. One view per page.
My method :I have an intermediate step, which create many Postscript File(One per View)
The second step use GhostScript to concate PS Files in a PDF.
 The steps:
1st step : Read DWG File to create script file, in order to automate plotting with AccoreConsole.exe. My method give me the point for plotting in a window with both corner.
2d step : Use the Script File and Software like (TRUEVIEW or ACCORECONSOLE(Autocad 2013) to create PS Files.
Last step : Run GhostScript to make my PDF File as I wish.
 Problem :
Old method It works with DWGTrueView, but I would like a silent mode for executing.
Solution ==> use AccoreConsole.exe include in Autocad 2013
New method Using Accoreconsole with a ProcessStartInfo, I realized that accoreconsole.exe can raised error that DWGTrueView didn't raised.
It works with some files, but sometimes, it's crashed, and I don't understand why.For exemple, a file that succeed with DWGTrueView

I have to use concrete hollow core slab in my project, but I was wondering, if it is possible that the hollow core slab automatically adjust itself to the width of the room. I have attached a screen-shot of the problem, where the the last hollow core slab overlap the beam. I can manually change the width of the last beam, but it would take a lot time, moreover if I change the dimension of the overlapped beam, then i have to readjust the last hollow core slab.

I imported the old geometry with PTex paint on it. Then I imported the new modified geometry. But When I try to set it up for PTex painting, Mudbox crashes. This happens when setting the resolution. Looking at the log, the error seems to be "Segmentation Fault (Core dumped)".

3. Enter the name of the quad set and click OK. The new set appears in the Quad set list.
To add a command to a quad set:
1. Choose Customize menu Customize User Interface Quads tab.
2. Choose the quad set you want to edit from the upper-right drop-down list. If you want to change the name of the quad set, click Rename and enter a new name in the Rename Quad Set dialog.

4. Choose the appropriate Group and Category from the respective drop-down lists.
5. Choose a command from the action list and drag it into the Quad Menu window. Use the same procedure to add menus and separators to your quad set.There is no clue about how to make a sub menu with commands inside like the one in the picture.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI've been searching for the rules Maya split quad into triangles, and found that I can use the "Quad Split" option under mesh controls to change the way Maya split quads. There are three options: left, right, and best shape.
The left and right options are easy to understand, but how about "best shape"?how exactly Maya split a quad if I chose "best shape"?
I used to think that Maya would choose the shortest diagonal, but recently I've found some exceptions (see attachment, the quad in the red rectangle).
I'm after a plugin similar to Evans effects but one that will allow me to fit a shape to an area on the image. I've tried Evan's quad plugin but you get a separate window so trying to fit the perspective is almost impossible and everytime I try I end up getting curves in the picture. What I want is to modify the perspective on the actual image and not have to deal with the image producing curves. As an example here's what I'm after (it was done for me in photoshop by a friend for a cabinet I'm working on), which I presume has an effect to do this easily:
