How much PC DRAM for Photoshop CS5, 2GB, 4GB, 6GB, or 8GB ?

I just bought a notebook via mailorder wich comes with 1x 2GB. It has a max of 2x 4GB. I shoot alot of NEF files on Nikon. I'm shopping on eBay for DRAM. How much DRAM do i really need for Photoshop CS5 Extended,  2, 4, 6, or 8GB ?

If you have a 64 bit system that can take the large memory, more is better.  Go for the 8 GB.
If I were building a new desktop system today for Photoshop work I'd put at lest 16 GB in it.  8 GB will be a healthy notebook machine.

  • Where/How to get download for Photoshop CS5 (not Extended)

    I am setting up a new computer (Mac) and am not transferring data from old computer (clean install).  I own Photoshop CS5 (not the Extended), and need to re-download that version (I had upgraded via Adobe website).  The only version I see offered is the Extended, which I do not need or want.
    How can I find the download I need?  I have all the serial numbers going back to Photoshop 2.
    This always fills me with dread, with these applications- most unfriendly.
    Thanks

    Thank you both.
    My account (Your Adobe Product and Online Service Registrations) shows the purchase of Photoshhop 12 (which I assume is CS5).  However, the other section which shows purchases is missing this one and several others, whioch were supposedly corrected the last time I went thru this.
    I don't see where to figure out whether CS 5 or CS 5.1.  I had upgraded when the CS5 came out, and have updated it as updates are available.  I guess I can download whatever is available and see if my activation codes work; if not, I guess I can uninstall and talk to Adobe next week.
    Thanks!

  • How can I update Camera raw for Photoshop CS5 to access images from Canon Rebel T4i?

    How can I update Camera Raw for Photoshop CS5 to access images from Canon Rebel T4i? The updated version of Camera Raw 7 says it only works with CS6. Outside of buying a new Photoshop, is there anything I can do?

    Buy Lightroom (much cheaper alternative to Photoshop) - does all your 'Photo-related' tasks. Full version of LightRoom 4 is $149/- - http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop-lightroom.html
    LightRoom 4 supports ACR (Adobe Camera Raw) 7. Once processed with Lightroom, if you still need, you could take the photo in JPG or TIFF format into Photoshop CS5 for further processing.
    Another option is to use Canon Raw Codec that would've come with your camera's box to process the RAW images and then take them into Photoshop.

  • How can I get the updates for Photoshop CS5 to download to my new Macbook Pro where I have already installed CS5 from my original disk? I have tried many times over 2 days. I was able to successfully download the current version of Adobe DNG converter.

    How can I get updates for Photoshop CS5 to download to my new Mac book pro where CS5 is already installed from my original disk? I have tried many times over 2 days. I get the same error messages re downloading error. I successfully downloaded the current version of Adobe DNG Converter & it installed perfectly. Help please!

    The Adobe auto updater is highly unreliable.
    You need to look for and download the update yourself and then manually apply it as per the detailed instructions on the download page:
    Adobe - Photoshop : For Macintosh
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    Please note that the Adobe Camera Raw plug-in must be updated separately, after you have updated Photoshop:

  • Working window for Photoshop CS5 has turned lite blue. How do I change it back to grey?

    Working window for Photoshop CS5 has turned lite blue. How do I change it back to grey?

    You talking about the empty canvas border around the image?  On a PC one would normally open a document in tabbed view, then right-click the mouse in the space around the outside of the document.  Then you can change the color.

  • Best hardware/OS for Photoshop CS5

    Hi there,
    i want to build a new PC, optimized for Photoshop CS5, with Windows OS.
    Can anybody tell me the optimal hardware configuration to make Photoshop as fast as possible?
    The program is primarly used for poster design.
    how much ram makes sense?
    is there a noticeable speed increase using 8GB instead auf 4GB?
    is there a noticeable speed increase using quad-core/six-core CPU instead of dual-core?
    is there a noticeable speed increase using GTX460 Graphic Card instead of a GTS450?
    what is the best hardware for photoshop CS5?
    what OS can you suggest me? is win7 64bit the best windows os?
    Thank you for your support!

    Windows 7 64 bit professional.
    8 gigs of RAM because it is dirt cheap and Photoshop loves RAM. Most motherboards allow more RAM if you wish to update.
    Don't know about Nvidia cards. I use a ATI 5870. Video card drivers play a important part. But the Nvidia card suonds about Right.
    4 core is fine. 6 cores I don't own yet but maybe next year.
    I use AMD processor 4 core on my main rig. AMD uses motherboards that can be used over and over for most processor updates and just require a bios update. The Newer AMD processors due out soon may need a new AMD3+ board but that is not official so the AMD2 boards may work saving money.
    Intel's are nice but everytime Intel comes out with a new processor line the board is always different.
    I run a i720 on my laptop and PS runs great.
    Buy a good power supply that will have extra power incase you upgrade later. Don't buy cheap power supplies.
    At least a 7,200 RPM hard drive. Get 2 internal ones. One for your OS and programs and one for PS scratch disk and storage.
    Quality DVD burner.
    Motherboard is up to what you want with the processor type. AMD or Intel. Read up on the internet and also the websites you buy from for customer reviews.
    Look at SSD's with TRIM support for a boot drive too. These have reallycome down in price. Use a hard drive for a scratch disk. Get a velocity raptor that spins at 10,000 RPM. 600 gigs are offered now at a cheap price.
    I am sure others will chime in.

  • How to get Camera RAW / Photoshop CS5 to work with Canon 100D?

    How to get Camera RAW / Photoshop CS5 to work with Canon 100D? I don't want to by this product again and again...

    In what way is ACR not working in Bridge?  Is there no right-click Open in Camera Raw available from Bridge, or there is, but the ACR version is less than ACR 6.7.1 or what exactly is the issue? 
    Also, if you open Photoshop and do Help / About Plug-ins / Camera Raw, is ACR missing from the list, or if not, what version does it say is installed?
    You might also want to describe what methods you have tried to correct the issue, since saying you've tried what you've seen posted and they didn't work, isn't really much to go on.

  • GPSpanel.zip for Photoshop CS5

    Has anyone been able to download it?  I have tried multiple time to get it and nothing happens when I click on that link.

    Thank you R_Kelly.  I copied the link into Firefox and it worked like  a
    charm, even though it wouldn't open from the Photoshop help link.
    Much appreciated.

  • Help creating custom XMP file for Photoshop CS5

    I was wondering if there is anyone out there that would be willing to help me create a custom XMP file for Photoshop CS5. What I need is very simple, I really just don't know how to go about creating it myself.
    Feel free to email me at [email protected]

    Hi Robert,
    please have a look at the "Generic Panel" example of the File Info SDK.
    Using that you only need to create a simple XML-file to create a simple custom panel.

  • How do I update my Photoshop CS5?  I can't use the automatic update in the program as it says there are no new updates.

    I have also gone to adobe and tried to download the latest update there, but when I load the zip file, and try to open the .exe, it just gives me an "error loading updater workflow".  Help.  I would like to be able to eventually use my new camera in photoshop and lightroom.

    Here is the download link for Adobe Camera Raw 6.7 which is the latest for Photoshop CS5 Windows.
    Also look at Help > About Photoshop to see if it is 12.0.0 or 12.0.4
    Adobe - Photoshop : For Windows : Camera Raw 6.7 Update
    Before you run the installer, make sure you exit Photoshop and Bridge, and be sure Bridge in not running in your system tray.

  • How much RAM needed for the DB box

    Hi,
    Can someone share with me the technical way to do calculation of how much of RAM needed for a new Linux box with estimation of 500 users. I hope this calculation can also allow me to breakdown how much MEMORY needed for each session.
    Please recommend any site that I can refer to if any. TQ.

    My project start with Oracle 9i R2 (9206) on Linux (not yet confirm on the platform and etc). Just assume I will use Linux Red Hat Adv Sever latest version.
    Hence how many GB of memory for the box is sufficient to handle 500 connections. Pls guide me the formula to derive the calculation. TQ
