64 bit vs 32 bit -The advantage??

I have been using both of the versions and can see no real difference or advantage of one version over the other. One thing I do note, is that my plugins only seem to be active on the 32 bit version. Any thoughts on the advantage of using 64 bit over 32?
Thanks.

It seems to be faster overall but I never measured it. You can address loads more RAM.
This article was written a couple of years ago but is still valid.

The main advantages are for users who use very large files.
You need to check the plug-in manufacturers' sites for updates to 64-bit, quite a few have done it. Also printer and scanner drivers may need updating.

  • 8 bits vs 32 bits?  What are the advantages?

    Hi, sorry about his basic question, but, what are the advantages of working in 32 bit mode? Is a broader, deeper color range available?
    Apparently some tools only work in 8 bit mode -- so is 8 bit still the typical work environment?
    Thanks

    This a huge, complicated and confusing subject which cannot be explained in a few lines here:
    Trying to take your questions one by one:
    32-bit per channel and HDR: This is a procedure where you can combine a number of digital photographs which were taken with differing exposures for the highlights and for the shadows and combine them into a single image in order to retain a wider dynamic range. (The results that I have seen from the use of this technique have mostly been somewhat bizarre and perfectly hideous!).
    >For instance, when someone saves their 16-bit ProPhoto RGB image ( a superwide gamut space ), then converts to 8-bit Adobe RGB, and then converts to SWOP CMYK, the additional gamut found in the ProPhoto RGB will be clipped or reduced down to the Adobe RGB gamut.
    We need to break that down a bit:
    >Saves their 16-bit (per channel) ProPhoto RGB image ( a superwide gamut space ):
    Correct.
    >Then re-opens [or duplicates], the Saved 16-bit (per channel) ProPhoto RGB image and converts to 8-bit (per channel) Adobe RGB:
    That produces an RGB file which has been "clipped" to fit the smaller AdobeRGB space but it is still a 16-bit (per channel) file.
    >and then converts to SWOP CMYK:
    Now you have CONVERTED your RGB colors to generate printing plates that will produce as close a replica as you can get to your Soft-preview of your (current) AdobeRGB image
    when printed on a Press which EXACTLY matches the conditions dictated by the CMYK Profile that you used.
    But you still have a 16-bit per Channel file UNTIL you change the Image mode to 8 Bits.
    >if you retain the 16-bit ProPhoto RGB and go straight to SWOP CMYK, the color will be clipped to fit inside the SWOP space.
    Not exactly: Your RGB image will be mapped to individual C, M, and Y Plates, and a Black plate will be generated (using the attributes of your specified CMYK Profile concerning GCR and Total Ink) in order to give you the best reproduction on Press (when real INK hits PAPER!) of your original RGB image.
    But do read more on this subject because it is supremely important that you understand it fully.
    I highly recommend Dan Margulis' "Professional Photoshop" for gaining a better understanding of this subject.

  • I cannot install latest itunes to my Sony notebook which is running on traditional chinese windows 7 64-bit, the error message is something like unrecognized windows package, can any one help me or has similar experience? Thanks.

    I cannot install latest itunes to my Sony notebook which is running on traditional chinese windows 7 64-bit, the error message is something like unrecognized windows package, can any one help me or has similar experience? Thanks.

    iTunes 9.0.x is certainly compatible with Win7 64 bit since I use that exact setup on 3 different PCs. Two suggestions for your installation problems:
    1)Download a new copy of the 64 bit installer from Apple then, instead of just running the itunes installer right click on it and try 'run as adminstrator'. In my experience that clears up a world of problems with program installation in Win7 and Vista. This is necessary even if you're already logged in as an administrator.
    2) Try the previous version of iTunes (9.0.3). You can get a copy at http://www.oldapps.com/itunes.php?old_itunes=54 again right click on the file and "run as administrator"
    Good luck, hope this helps.

  • ITunes 10.7 quits on launch (Windows 7 64 bit) - "The procedure entry point CVDirect3DTextureGetSurface could not be located in the dynamic link library CoreVideo.dll."

    I get the following dialog upon launching iTunes 10.7 on my Windows 7 64 bit
    "The procedure entry point CVDirect3DTextureGetSurface could not be located in the dynamic link library CoreVideo.dll."
    After that another dialog
    "iTunes was not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes. Error 7 (Windows Error 127"
    I repaired iTunes. Same error.
    I uninstalled and reinstalled. Same error.
    Please help.

    Taken at face value, you're having trouble with an Apple Application Support program file there. (Apple Application Support is where single copies of program files used by multiple different Apple programs are kept.)
    Let's try something relatively simple first. Restart the PC. If you're using Vista or 7, now head into your Uninstall a program control panel, select "Apple Application Support" and then click "Repair". If you're using XP, head into your Add or Remove Programs control panel, select "Apple Application Support", click "Change" and then click "Repair".
    If no joy after that, try the more rigorous uninstall/reinstall procedure from the following post. (If you've got XP, although the procedure is for Vista and 7, just read "Computer" as "My Computer", read "Uninstall a program control panel" as "Add or Remove programs control panel" and assume the system is 32-bit, and you'll be doing the right things.)

    Let's try a standalone Apple Mobile Device Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of why it's not installing under normal conditions.
    Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
    http://www.rarlab.com/
    Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
    Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi (or AppleMobileDeviceSupport64.msi) to do a standalone AMDS install.
    (If it offers you the choice to remove or repair, choose "Remove", and if the uninstall goes through successfully, see if you can reinstall by doubleclicking the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi again.)
    Does it install (or uninstall and then reinstall) properly for you? If so, can you get a normal iTunes install to go through properly now?
    If instead you get an error message during the install (or uninstall), let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.)

  • When running lion 32bit my wireless works great, when I run lion in 64 bit the wireless works awful. Any ideas?

    When running lion 32bit my wireless works great, when I run lion in 64 bit the wireless works awful. Any ideas?

    I solved my own problem. Found spotlight in Lion 7 doesn't seem to like third party external drives and gets hung up and unmounts the drives. Had to go into the spotlight preferences and choose all my external drives to not be searched by spotlight.
      Temporary fix but would love to see apple address this issue in the next version of Lion.

  • How can I convert/read out from a string Hex (8-bit), the bit 0 length 1

    How can I convert/read out from Hex (8-bit), the bit 0 length 1 (string subset!!??) and convert it to decimal.
    With respect to one complement and two complement ?

    Just like Jeff, purely guessing here.
    It almost sounds like you just need to Read from Binary File?
    AND the 8-bit number with 1?
    Need more details.  What exactly do you have to start with?  What exactly are you trying to get out of it?  Examples help.

    Dear all,

Is there a way that I can change the colors, the shades, etc? I don't like the new layout, it's too bright and too pale, like the face of a Georgian monarchy. Thank you for your help and support.

  • HD Bit the Dust (iBook G4) - Need Replacemtent HD

    The internal HD in my iBook G4 bit the dust. I’m looking for recommendations for a replacement HD? I would like to get a higher quality internal HD, probably 100-120GB.
    I’m also wondering just how much extra heat a 7200rpm internal HD would create? The HD that came with my iBook (purchased June, 2004), a 60GB (I believe 5400rpm), gets pretty hot, so I have to keep a small fan blowing under the iBook which sits on an iCurve.

    You need a 2.5-inch, 9.5 mm high ATA hard drive like the ones here.
    I have been told that battery life is impacted by the higher-speed drives, but I'm not certain that there would be a significant heat difference.
    Hard drive replacement is not an easy task:

  • Bit the Bullet!

    Well after much umming and aaahhing, i have bit the bullet and ordered a 16 gig touch from apple online store, i just hope it is not a week 37 and that the screen hasn't got any dead pixels... played with one in london yesterday at an apple shop, sold it for me!! but everywhere in the UK has sold out atm so i thought the online store it is!!

    I'm sure you are safe from week 37s at this point. But as soon as you see that it has shipped, you can view the order and see the SN, so you'll know before you even get it.
    Good Luck

  • What is the advantages of polymorphism over method overriding?

    what is the advantages of polymorphism over method overriding,that means if we are able to to create object at different instances at diff time for that sub class reff variable than what is the need of careating object of super class data type(i.e why always it is necessary to have upcasting for polymorphism?but if we can achive the same output without upcasting).....please tell me..lets have complete discuss..

    Seriously though....
    WebLogic (for which I have deployed many apps on) as
    well as Websphere are both high end Java application
    servers, meaning J2EE servers (in short). They allow
    one to deploy Enterprise Archive(EAR), a Web
    Archive(WAR), or an EJB Archive (in a JR file).
    These two servers allow one to deploy EJBs, use
    e JNDI, JMS, connectors, and other J2EE technologies
    - Tomcat does not. well, EJBs - no
    JNDI, yes - http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-4.1-doc/jndi-resources-howto.html
    JMS - yes (with an implementation, such as ActiveMQ: http://activemq.codehaus.org/Tomcat)
    Not sure what you mean by "connectors".
    Tomcat provides quite a bit of functionality (but yes, no EJBs)

  • What are the advantages/disadvantages of using PS/CS5 in 64bit over 32bit please?

    What are the advantages/disadvantages of using PS/CS5 in 64bit over 32bit please?

    From a practical perspective, besides the 64 bit version being a bit faster at just about everything, limitations on document size are lifted in the 64 bit version.  Essentially, how much can do is limited only by how much RAM you have installed in your system.  You can do things like have larger documents, deeper history, etc. and have it all work quickly.
    On the other hand, many 3rd party plug-ins, especially older ones, only provide 32 bit versions, which will only run in 32 bit Photoshop.
    Both 32 and 64 bit versions are installed by default.  It's important to note that most of the preferences are separate between the two, so you can have two slightly different setups that might help with specialty operations you might need.  This gets pretty subtle, but for example I keep the 32 bit version configured with only 1 cache level, so all previews of high bit depth images are always composited in high bit depth.  This aids me with some aspects of astroimage processing.  It's slower, but more accurate.  By contrast I have more cache levels configured for my 64 bit version, so that's faster for general photography work.

  • What are the advantages of using file.ser ???

    hi
    actually i just know a little bit about this file format (file.ser), i know that it can handle serialized objects in the same order that they have written. but i don know :
    how it works?
    what are the benefits that i can have from this file format?
    how can i delete a particular object from this file?
    thanks in advance

    Dude, you're lost... off the bottom of the page... time to start scrolling up again ;-)
    Start here: http://java.sun.com/developer/technicalArticles/Programming/serialization/
    I know that it can handle serialized ...Umm no, not "handle", so much as "contain" serialized objects.
    An SER file contains serialized objects.
    what are the benefits that i can have from this file format?None, per se... it's only a file format. The advantages lie in a "quick light framework for the persistence of java objects".... serialisation.
    how can i delete a particular object from this file?Umm... you can't manipulate the file, not directly anyway, well not safely.
    Desialise all objects in the file, and reserialise them to a new file, skipping the offending object.
    Seriously read through that tutorial. It's very interesting.
    Cheers. Keith.

  • What are the advantages and disadvantages to cookies?

    Ok, so I am required to interview some expert for a Final in college. I choose to do my final on cookies throughout the different browsers. The downside is that it is nearly impossible to get a one-on-one interview from an expert in this field. This is my next option. So here are my questions, and I greatly appreciate the help.
    1. What are the advantages and disadvantages of cookies?
    2. Where are the cookies stored, and is it possible for someone to access that information?
    3. You hear horror stories of hackers accessing the different cookies saved on a person's computer, and from there gradually piecing together enough information about that person, to hack into nearly every account they have. How probable is this? What safeguards can a person take against this happening?
    Once again, thank you for any help received.

    I attended uni back in the 70's, and as I recall we had to do some actual research for our term papers - like from books in the library, and needed to "document" our research in a footnote for each page.

  • What's the advantage of JavaBean?

    Hi. I'm new to java bean and I would like to know what the advantage of JavabBean is. Thank you.
    Cal

    I use beans extensively. Especially if I am doing Swing UIs.
    For starters using the getter/setter methodology is good programming practise.
    The second useful bit of the bean API is the PropertyChangeSupport class. This makes a nice mediation component for MVC based components. A property change in an instance can be propogated to your visual components without a lot of blood, sweat and tears.
    Lastly, Customizers are an excellent mechanism for providing classes with generically pluggable UI components.
