1366 x 768 Display enough for photoshop?

I'm looking to get a hp envy 14 laptop soon for doing my graphics work at school... When at home I can plug in to my 23-inch monitor but while at school will 1366x768px be too small to practically use for photoshop/illustrator?

For average digicam photo editing tasks like color adjustments and simple cutouts it will be enough, but of course you will be hard pressed to do extensive retouche jobs on high res imagery or even precision jobs. The constant zooming will not make this a pleasant experience. Using the tab key to toggle palette visibility as Marian suggested will help a little, but not in all situations. Sometimes you will simpyl have to have many palettes open to do a specific task and then your image will almost disappear...

Will Production Premium CS6 able to install in Inspiron 15R having 1366 x 768 Display? Have any one

My Spec
Core i5
8GB Ram
1366 x 768
Ati 1gb HD5740
I'm succesfully using CS5.5 with out any problem despite it also said minimum resolution must be 1280x900. But it didn't give me any error in instalation or usage. I know my lap is not suitable for production. I'm just in the proces learning the software and video editing. So i don't mind scroling big dialog boxes.
I just want to know will CS6 it work or not. have any one tried it in 1366 x 768? In CS5.5 it working fine for me. (Had the same Display requirement though)

Then i will install the trail and see before spending $375
.Hope it won't disturb my current cs5.5 setup

MacBook (6-bit) display OK for Photoshop?

I currently have a 1.67GHz PowerBook G4, but will most likely get myself a MacBook within a year to replace it, running Photoshop CS3 (or more likely CS4 when it arrives) as a student of photography.
A few weeks ago I came across some disturbing reading on the web: while Apple says that their laptops can all display "millions" (24 bits) of colors it has been revealed that this is not so and they can in reality only display 262 144 colors (18 bits) because their displays are of the cheap 6-bit type instead of 8-bit. Here's a site that describes the problem in more detail: http://peewaiweb.free.fr/
This might not pose a problem for most people, but how does it affect professional use, such as with Photoshop?
I've always had desktop computers in the past, but bought my first laptop 3 years ago and haven't looked back since. But paying a premium price for an Apple laptop which has a "cheap" display which isn't capable of delivering the goods seems pretty unfair to me.
The big question is: is it good *enough*? Good enough for photography use with Photoshop that is.
PS: as far as I know, MacBooks and MacBook Pro computers are fully able to display images with 16.7 million colors at once, but the built-in display isn't. If you attach an external display I believe you get a true 24-bit image, but then you're no longer looking at a "portable system", and you've forked out so much money already that you could just as well have bought a desktop computer to begin with!

I've never considered buying a MacBook. It's the MacBook Pro I've been looking at to replace my PowerBook G4 (just like I never considered buying an iBook but opted to a PowerBook).
Allen: you say that the MacBook display is better than 90% of displays in other branded laptops. How does the MacBook Pro display compare to other laptops?
PShock: It seems that there is no way past getting a separate display connected to a MacBook Pro, or buy a desktop Mac if I want really accurate color.
Actually my Powerbook is used mostly at home, with the AC adapter plugged in, but then there are those times I need to use it somewhere else and I've found a laptop to be invaluable! I don't think I could ever go back to a desktop computer again. I hate all those bulky boxes, wires, mouse, external keyboard etc.
Who knows what the future might bring, but for the next couple of years I'll be studying to become a photographer, so I won't be at the pro level just yet. But then again I like to invest in stuff I can really use well for a long time to come.
Would a 15" MacBook Pro along with an external high-quality monitor be a good choice if I want to get serious about photography?
I probably don't have to worry about that stuff just yet though, and according to the school it seems that a MacBook Pro and a Canon or Nikon SLR is what they recommend when studying there.
I mentioned having a Canon EOS-350D and someone there said it's OK to start out with, but I'll probably have to trade it in for something more professional soon.
Some additional concerns I have about trading in my Powerbook G4 for a top of the line MacBook Pro:
1) While my 15" display is set for 1440x960 pixels, the 15" MacBook Pro has 60 less vertical pixels (1440x900). Anyone know why this is, and if this makes much of a difference?
2) Unlike the PowerBook G4, the MacBook Pro doesn't have a built-in modem. I must admit that I haven't used it that much, but it has been critical for a few instances where I needed to fax something. Mind you, I know that a USB modem is available but one of the reasons I got rid of my desktop computer to go the laptop route was because I hated all those things dangling off the machine.
What are all of your experiences with the missing modem?
3) You can't run "Classic" on Intel based Macs as far as I know. Being able to run Classic applications was a big deal for me before getting my PowerBook because I wanted to run all the stuff I had used on my desktop Mac. But when I eventually got the Powerbook I used OSX software anyway, except a small handfull of apps. Truth be told I don't think I've used "Classic" for several months, so I can probably live without it.
4) The Powerbook has an S-video connector which the MacBook Pro is (as far as I know) missing. I don't know if this is a big issue or not, but I can think of a few instances where S-video might be useful. Perhaps there are adapters available to convert the video connector to S-video?
Other than that it looks like the MacBook Pro can replace all that I've grown accustomed to with my 15" Powerbook G4 (Firewire 800, PCMCIA card slot, USB, audio in/out, ethernet and wireless Internet :-)

IMac "Retina" VRAM is it enough for Photoshop CC 2014?

I want to get the new Retna iMac, but don't know how much video ram (VRAM) I need. I only do photo processing, not video. Does anyone have any experience yet?
Thanks,
Steve

Renaming this discussion and moving it to the Photoshop General Discussion forum.
Kernvillearts the individuals in this community may be able to provide you with the experience you are looking for. I don't believe the pixel density of your display however is a deciding factor. Photoshop CC 2014 supports HiDPI displays under both Windows and Mac OS. For additional details please see the link offered in message #4. If you have any specific questions about the system requirements please feel free to post them to this discussion.

Building a computer - Is an i5-4460 good enough for Photoshop?

I'm building a desktop computer for web design, digital illustration and some gaming. I also want to learn/use Photoshop, Fireworks, Illustrator and Dreamweaver.
I'm trying to decide between processors. I'm looking at the i5-4460, i5-4590 and i5-4690. Many people have recommended i7s and Xeons, but those seem very expensive and I'm just starting to get into Photoshop. The i5-4690 is about the most I'm willingly to spend, but I don't want to throw money away if it isn't really necessary/won't help that much. I'm also not looking to edit massive photos. I want to be able to do digital illustration (comic book sized stuff) and web design (buttons, icons, web page drafts). Maybe while I have a web browser open at the same time.
Is the cheaper i5-4460 powerful enough to do what I want to do without me tearing my hair out in frustration? Should I really only consider the i5-4590 or the i5-4690? Is there any noticeable difference getting a i5-4590 or an i5-4690?
I need to get this thing built, so please let me know soon. Thanks.

pay a lot attention to GPU's for your money, d
I disagree. GPUs seem to be recommended a lot, yet I don't see a basis for it (in most people's work) with a modern processor. I know Adobe is working on making more processes GPU accelerated, but at the same time Intel is packing more and more into the integrated graphics.
I don't doubt that getting a super high end GPU will run faster in a benchmark, but even then it's arguable that it'll make a difference in you're work flow unless you spend a whole lot of time batch processing GPU-intensive processes or doing 3D or something. If you're not batch processing you're not going to notice that your GPU ran the oil paint filter in 3.7 seconds instead of 3.9. I'm making the numbers up, but that's about the gist of it. And we're talking high end GPUs. Mid range once don't make a marked difference over intel graphics. My desktop at home is running an i7-4770k, which I believe has the same integrated graphics as the i5-4560. I pulled my GPU out after a few tests and returned it, because I didn't see a noticeable difference in performance. It runs just find on integrated graphics. In full disclosure I don't do 3D or batch process often, but I do work on extremely large composites.
As to the RAM. RAM can be upgraded later. I wouldn't go over 16 unless you knew you needed it - which can easily be checked. You can get by with 8 if you're not a heavy user.
An SSD is going to make the biggest performance difference out of anything.

Is the Intel Core i5-4200U Processor fast enough for Photoshop CS4 &/or Photoshop CC?

Here is a link to the processor specs: http://ark.intel.com/products/75459/ Computer system also has 8GB of RAM. Thanks!

There is a difference between will it work and will it perform well. Adobe post the minimal system requirements for an application for they want to make as many sales as they can. You will also fine post on recommend system configurations for types of processing. For Example"

Thinkpad T430 Display: HD (1366 x 768) vs. HD+ (1600 x 900) Specifics

Hello, and thank you in advance for any help. As I've researched the Lenovo ThinkPad T430, and it's various configuration options, I've found specific information on the differences between the HD (1366 x 768) display and the HD+ (1600 x 900) display to be rather lacking. Everything I've read boils down to "go with the HD+ if possible" but I was hoping for more information. I'd be using the laptop for reading documents and web pages, as well as viewing movies, so I was wondering if more knowledgeable people than I would pipe in with their opinions, especially when it comes to watching movies on the laptop (in a dark room with the laptop at the foot of the bed and using headphones). Thanks again for your time; I really appreciate it.

Hi,
I bought my t530i with the HD (1366x768) display. I am absolutely disappointed in it. The viewing angle is horrible, the colors are whitey, pallid, the black color is not black, it is rather dark gray, because the backlight is so strong. I would like to sell it, because it is useless for me, but nobody wants it. I don't know if this applies to the 430 series, so I suggest You to check it out personally, before You buy it.

Mac mini (late 2014 ) 2.6ghz for photoshop..

hi friends,
i have plan to upgrade a system for basic photo editing in photoshop cs5 or 6... regarding this , i must need speedy open and save the photo files.. i am tired of using old pentium dual core processers in my old p.c.
but i came to know that mac mini is also dual core in this model.. i know the speed difference will definetely blow the old pentium model.. but i have some doubts regarding this i5 dual core model..
1. is this model is hyper threaded ? if so , photoshop will get any benefit of hyper threaded cores?
2. does dual core is enough for photoshop in terms of speedy editing without hanging?
3.do i expect same performance speed of windows PC i5 processor with mac mini i5 models?
i dont play games.. only photoshop and web browsing..
thank you
suresh babu

Generally, it all depends on how heavy duty your Photoshop
work is and how large the images are. If you work with large images
with a multitude of complex filtering layers, the Mini may not
cut it. However, if you just do a layer or 2 with simple image adjustments,
it will be just fine.
One think to note is all the new Mac Minis have integrated graphics.
Many of Photoshop filters and 3rd party plugins heavily leaverage
the graphics specific processing of graphics cards. Although the newer
Intel Iris integrated graphics are much better than earlier generations,
they are no match for a a computer mid range discrete graphics solution with
its own dedicated RAM. Integrated graphics share system memory with everything
else running on the computer.

Buying a notebook. Is any one brand better for Photoshop?

I am going on a scuba diving trip and plan to buy a lightweight notebook. I plan to install PS software. Is any particular brand better than the others?

thanks for your help.
i had another idea now: i copied my stuff from my internal pb to my external FW 400 disc. now i have 40GB free space in my internal.
- is this enough for photoshop scratch disc?
- should i also define the other 3 discs (external) as Photoshop scratch disc (possible in the prefercenes of Photoshop, up to 4 discs can be used as scratch discs)
- what about the system scratch disc, do both interfere themselves or bother?
- better also copy the image i work with in Photoshop to the internal powerbook drive which has only 5400 rpm or better leave it where it is now on the external FW400 drive 7200rpm?
thanks

Buying a 2,5" external FW400 drive only for Photoshop CS2 as Scratchdisc?

i am a retouching professional
and use a pb 15" and a ACD20".
do you think it makes sense to buy a
2,5" external FW400 drive only for Photoshop as Scratchdisc?
2,5" therefore, as it needs no powersupply
by wire. that elegant i guess,
my images have 1,5GB on the disc, and use often 4GB RAM in Photoshop CS2 but i only have 2GB RAM in my pb 15" 1,67 from late 2005.
its very slow sometimes as Photoshop (PS) scratches onto my external drives which are all nearly full of stuff and heavyly fragmented.
so , i had that idea of buying a drive only for PS, which is always "empty" and PS can use it for scratching large data onto the disc. i would format it everyday in order to prevent fragmenting (?) and be able to work fast,
thats my goal, just to work faster. its really slow sometimes as i suffer from too less RAM. of course i am buying a G5 quad later with plenty of RAM but for now i have to work with my pb .... and need a better working solution
anyone thinks it makes sense?
if yes, how big should the disc be, 20GB , 40Gb, or more?
if the file in PS has 4 GB RAM, and has 30 layers or more, how can i find out how many GB space it needs on the scratch disc?
i would like to buy this one:

[IMG]http://i1.tinypic.com/v80774.jpg[/IMG]
if 40GB would be enough i could save more money, but if you say i need 80, its also ok. which model/brand of disc would you put in? i am looking for a quiet one, 7200rpm and at least 40 or better 80GB. but quiet would be important.

thanks for your help.

Save for Web & Devices window doesn't fit @ 1366 x 768

I'm using a MacBook Air running at 1366 x 768, or within Adobe CS5 requirement tolerances, but whenever I try to 'Save for Web & Devices', the dialogue box that pops up is much too big, vertically speaking, for my screen. Attempting to minimize/maximize doesn't rectify the problem--a substantial portion of the window, including the buttons necessary to execute the save action, are in the not-visible portion of the window. If I hit ENTER/RETURN, I can complete the process, but this is clearly a bug: I should be able to resize the window, or scroll within it.
Is there something else I can do, short of pursue a fix from Adobe? Some setting I've overlooked? I'm running Lion, but this problem started on a Snow Leopard install.

Wrong! Yes, you do have to hide the Dock if you want to share the Adobe Photoshop minimum required space with Apple's Dock, which in my opinion should be invisible when not needed, which in turn is for a split second every half hour or more. I'm sick and tired of Apple shoving ugly, intrusive OS features down our throats (see footnote * in next paragraph). I want the computer to do what I want, not what Apple wants.

Mr. Schewe explains it more forcefully in his last post above.
My experience over the years has shown me consistently that the more vocal or vehement the complaint, vent or rant, the greater the likelihood of PEBKAC (google that if you're not familiar with the term).

X1 - release date? display option 1366 x 768

News of the X1 is popping up in several places... and it looks interesting, but may miss the target.
Question - when will it be availabe in North America?
Display comments
- The display is a CRITICAL component for many buyers
- 1366 x 768 is pathetic. I expect at least 900 pixels of vertical resolution
- IPS > Gorilla Glass (iPad, T42, etc)
- I prefer matte > glossy (luckily thinkpads are usually matte)
- 300 nits (so I can work outside)
I am not alone. Many are shopping for an ultraportable with a quality high resolution display (1440x900 or 1920x1080).

hey oceanus,
for this, i would recommend calling the sales team via the number listed in the link below

I have Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Lightroom on my MacBook Pro laptop. I bought an iMac and I'd like to move my installations to the larger display desktop for editing purposes. How can I go about transferring them?

I have Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Lightroom on my MacBook Pro laptop. I bought an iMac and I'd like to move my installations to the larger display desktop for editing purposes. How can I go about transferring them?

I have the same question. It seems that Adobe is almost impossible to contact (I ended up here at the forums to ask the same question).
I will never buy another Adobe product again if I can get another program to replace it. If this is customer service then it is NON EXISTENT!
I notice that your question has not been answered and why should you have to get the information from a forum? I know of no other company that makes you do this for simple product information.
NOT HAPPY with this version of arrogant customer service (nor am I happy about renting Photoshop products into the future - it is just a money grab in my opinion). I will be voting with my feet and going elsewhere in future.

Adobe Brings Retina Display Support To Photoshop And Illustrator CS6 As A Free Update For All Users

Adobe Brings Retina Display Support To Photoshop And Illustrator CS6
As A Free Update For All Users..... if this is TRUE then how Do I get it. My CS is HORRIBLE visually. Does ANYONE know anything encouraging about this issue with Adobe CS and Retina Display???

As pointed out by John T Smith, you should post the questions in the correct forums to get swift replies. However, yes Adobe has made its promise good and the blog to that effect is here:
<http://blogs.adobe.com/jkost/2013/01/retina-display-support-and-photoshop-cs6.html>
Good luck.

I downloaded a trial of photoshop. It runs for a minute or so, then a message displays saying that photoshop has stopped. No error codes, just the message. I have exhausted the "try this" stuff that I can find. Any other ideas would be appreciated.

I have exhausted the "try this" stuff that I can find. Any other ideas would be appreciated. I would also like to know what some alternative applications might be. This trial does not give me confidence in Adobe's product.

I saw a similar question deeper into the forum right after I posted. I followed the fix steps and it took care of the problem.
Thanks for getting back to me. I am good to go.
