Acceleration in Scaling - CS4

I am using CS4 and have used scaling in some still photos to achieve the "Ken Burns" affect. The result is as expected. However, I would like to ease in and out of the motion by smoothly changing the acceleration of the motion. I have read the CS4 manual looking for instructions on doing this and I can't find it. Nothing is mentioned about acceleration adjustments to scaling and motion. I can achieve it in a manner by setting keyframes at various points in the clip but the acceleration does not change smoothly. I want to start the motion slowly, build to the maximum and then gradually slow it at the end of the frame. Any asistance would be appreciated.

Accelerating AVCHD in CS4

I have Premiere CS4 and do not want to upgrade at this point in time. With CS4, is there any way to accelerate playback of AVCHD footage? On my current system, the footage plays ok for a few secs and then starts to judder. Scrubbing the timeline is impossible. Am I correct in thinking that certain NVIDIA CUDA cards accelerate playback of AVCHD in CS4 like they do in CS5? If so, which card is recommended for CS4?
Thanks

Am I correct in thinking that certain NVIDIA CUDA cards accelerate playback of AVCHD in CS4 like they do in CS5? If so, which card is recommended for CS4?
No. The MPE was added with CS5. This ARTICLE on MPE might be helpful. This also might be a good reason to upgrade, but the CPU is still very important with AVCHD and H.264 footage.
The only way to accelerate the heavily-compressed AVCHD footage is by upgrading the CPU. That is where most of the work is done.
A stout I/O will help some, but the big load is still on the CPU.
Good luck,

CUDA Acceleration and Scaling

I am running Premiere Pro CC on a Windows 7 core i5 with 16 gigs of ram.
I frequently need to produce both a Blu ray disk as well as a standard DVD. I am getting good results exporting as a mpeg 2 DVD and importing that into Encore as a timeline.
That export usually takes anywhere from 12-16 HOURS for a 2 hour sequence. I have a Nvidia GeForce GT230 card now which is not taking advantage of mercury playback.
Does anybody know if upgrading to a "supported" nvidia card would make any difference in these LONG render times?
I was considering something like a GeForce 600 or better or possibly a Quadro, probably with 2 gigs...
I have installed the 2014 Versions of both Premiere CC as well as AME but have not used them yet as I'm in the middle of a job.
Any insights out there would be appreciated

Thanks Bill,
Yeah it's an HP 2009 computer with 4 cores, I see I can upgrade the CPU to a Intel Core i7-870 Processor 2.93 GHz 8 MB Cache Socket LGA1156 for about 250, and then the Ge Force for another 350..
Looks like I might be almost half way to a new computer...
I'm just on the fence as to whether the extra cost will be worth it in terms of render times...
THANKS AGAIN!

CS4 GPU Acceleration and Intel X3100

Hello everyone,
I currently own a laptop which I use heavily for image editing. It is powered by a very fast Core 2 Duo 2.4GHz and a power-efficient yet perfectly capable Intel X3100 integrated graphics chip.
My chip supports all of the necessary Shader versions, OpenGL 2.0, etc. ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_GMA#GMA_X3100 ). However, when I visit the Preferences menu to enable the OpenGL acceleration, I am presented with a grayed-out option telling me I may need to upgrade my drivers or graphics card.
I have tried new driver versions. Certainly I should not have to purchase another card (impossible in a laptop in fact) seeing as my chip supports all of the requisite features.
Help? Thanks!
Steve

Hi Anne,
Let me clarify. I am not aware of any current compatibility issues with Flash (author or player).
The current Intel graphics drivers do not have the OpenGL features that Photoshop looks for to enable OpenGL acceleration. Intel is in the process of developing and testing an updated driver that will support this, hopefully to be released in early 2009.
However,
b Photoshop CS4 does currently run reliably
on systems with Intel graphics - it's just that the new OpenGL-accelerated features in CS4 are not available.
I have used an Intel GM45 system with a pre-production driver to test the new Photoshop CS4 OpenGL features like smooth-zoom, birds-eye view, and canvas rotate, and they perform smoothly. The OpenGL performance is noticably slower on older GM965 systems, but it is still almost-smooth and better than not having OpenGL enabled at all. (Note that OpenGL 2.0 will
i not
be supported on GM945 and earlier chipsets.)
It seems you are aware that the choice of a new notebook system does not only depend on the graphics chip's capabilities, but rather how the performance of the whole system suits your needs. For example, I use Premiere Pro to edit HDV and AVCHD video, and this depends much more on the performance of the CPU than on the graphics, so I would want a system with the best CPU, perhaps even at the cost of some graphics performance.
From what I have seen of Photoshop's new OpenGL features, the GM45 chipset is quite capable of giving most users a nice, smooth experience, and even the GM965 is "ok", with just a little jerkiness. An exception may be users that bring fancy, large 3D models into Photoshop - this should work, but I don't have that type of file to test the performance (anybody want to share some?).
To summarize, the Intel graphics systems will work with Photoshop CS4 now, just without OpenGL features. If these OpenGL features are important to you, and you can wait until Feb-March for the new driver (sorry, still no firm promise on the exact date), then I would still recommend an Intel integrated graphics system with a GM965, GM35, or GM45 chipset (GM45 having the best performance).

Does LR2 use GPU acceleration? Other system requirements?

Does LR2 use GPU acceleration as Photoshop CS4 does?
Do you think this machine will run LR2 for some time to come:
Dell Studio with Intel Q9400 quad core; 8GB RAM; 750GB hard disk.
Currently using integrated graphics, but there is a PCI x16 slot available.

>Does LR2 use GPU acceleration as Photoshop CS4 does?
No
>Do you think this machine will run LR2 for some time to come:
Yes that's more than beefy enough. To use that 8 gigs, make sure you run 64-bit windows vista on it.

GPU Acceleration for Lightroom

When will Lightroom have GPU acceleration like Photoshop CS4 has?

From what I've read GPU acceleration in CS4 currently only applies to canvas zooming and rotation... not EVERYTHING is accelerated by the GPU. So what effect (if any) would GPU acceleration for have for those items in LR? (honest question... I don't know.)
I've also read Adobe is planning on more features later on in CS to use GPU. So to me this appears currently as a first stage deployment of this technology... not TOO exciting in terms of actual benefit today, but with promising prospects in the future.
As for LR, I assume it all depends on what features would benefit from this (some would actually slow down if routed through GPU, if I understand some the writeup about this.)

Error in exporting photoshop file

We have several copies of After Effects being used in the office. Both myself and another user have encountered a problem saving as photoshop layers. It gets 87% or so into it and then gives the error; "error in exporting photoshop file" in the info window. Any thoughts?

I don't think expressions should have any influence on teh matter. They are just another way of formulating an animation stream value just like keyframes. Icould think of a few things:
- The new pixel aspect ratio handling in CS4. Due to the conversion, something may happen to the source footages.
- Layer styles. this may cause a "cyclic use" of the Photoshop engine. Some of that stuff has changed quite a bit for CS4 to accomodate Ps Live 3D and teh new adjustment layer model.
- Hardware accelerated effects. CS4 passes through OpenGL acceleration through all comps. Using an effect that uses it and happens to think it doesn#t need to fall back into software only mode, may cause a hiccup.
- MediaCore. Similar to the previous, it uses hardware acceleration and may show weird behaviors, varying solely based on differences in graphics cards.
In particular for the last two points I would think it is what makes the difference between your systems. One of them has not enough juice on OpenGL, so it's "safe". I'd definitely investigate along those lines.

GPU Settings Became Unavailable PS CS5 32 Bit on Win7 x64

I have an ATI Radeon HD 4670 card by VisionTek with 1 GB of RAM in my Windows 7 x64 Ultimate 8 GB workstation. I run a dual monitor setup, and have all video driver software up to date (as well as Windows 7). The system is running perfectly, not logging any errors nor exhibiting any signs of other problems.
My video card/system have supported GPU acceleration since PS CS4, and when I first installed PS CS5 I was able to immediately configure the settings to enable OpenGL Drawing in CS5 32 bit, then exercise the GPU (after a restart of CS5 32 bit) but now the settings are unavailable and the software reports "No GPU options available with Photoshop Standard":
The 64 bit build of PS CS5 DOES allow the GPU settings, and it works with them just fine:
When I initially ran CS5 32 bit I was NOT running Aero (i.e., the theme was Windows 7 Basic), as I was sharing my desktop with a co-worker using RAdmin (so we could both experience the installation and setup process). However, manually selecting the Windows 7 Basic theme now does not re-enable the ability to configure OpenGL Drawing.
The only things I did between the time the setting was available and wasn't was to arrange my palettes and create a Workspace within which to keep them.
The memory setting (shown at 100% above for CS5 32 bit) does not affect this issue.
Any ideas how to get back OpenGL acceleration in 32 bit CS5?
-Noel

Note: I edited this response after seeing your second response.
On initial startup Photoshop 32 bit is offering the OpenGL configuration, implying the driver has said that it CAN do the OpenGL operations. Additionally, when enabled (on the first Photoshop startup or subsequently via the registry tweak) the functions DO work, flawlessly from what I can see.
It doesn't MATTER why it doesn't work. I (the user) don't have the facilities to MAKE it work properly nor even to diagnose it further. You do. Thank you for agreeing to look into it further.
There are several purposes a forum can serve:
1. Users can help other users get around problems they have, either because they've done something wrong, or via a workaround.
2. A dialog can be created between users and developers.
Please, let's not allow item 2 to be an avenue where Adobe just tries mightily to dodge responsibility for the problem.
It's YOUR application that does not work properly. Everything else works great. You'll have to trust me on that - if I could provide some additional proof (system uptime info? reliability index? what?) I'd do it in a heartbeat. I can assure you've I've installed the drivers correctly as well.
I'm a career software developer myself with 34 years experience. When Windows 7 first came out users started to report crashes of Photoshop after using one of my plugins. Did I tell them "It's the fault of Windows" or "It's the fault of Photoshop"? No. I apologized that MY application was not working perfectly under those conditions. I then investigated the problem, found that a Windows call having to do with using a patterned pen was causing memory corruption in Photoshop, and developed a workaround so that with that particular combination of software the crash is averted. I also then reported the root cause of the bug to Microsoft.

HP 820 Configuration

I am specing with our HP Rep an edit system for CS5 currently. Since we are a large enterprise, HP is really my only option but the Z-Series has only great reviews and I like the module form-factor, very MAC Pro like in their tower layout.
Base on what I know and have research, these are my conclusions. Content being ingested will be 1080i HD from an NXCam for the most part. Much of the output will be as H.264 or other variants to the web, both SD 4:3 and HD 16:9
-1- Z-820, Xeon E5-2630 2.3 GHz, 15MB cache, 6 cores
-1- HP 16x SATA Blu-ray Writer
-1- HP 22-in-1 Media Card Reader Kit
-64GB- RAM
-1- NVIDIA Quadro K2000 2GB Graphics Card
-1- NVIDIA TESLA C2075
-1- HP 256GB SATA SSD Drive (A3D26AT) – (Boot drive with OS)
Would get two other SSD drives from another vendor since HP is pricey on their drives.
Ok So -
Based on my budget of about 5k, and specing a single proc Xeon but have seen different opinions on that CPU verses Quad-Cores, Net, Net all the 820's are Xeon and I need to use HP so this is really moot
I know the GPU will not do anything to speed up rendering, only accelerating effects, scaling and rotation within the timeline and should manage 3 or 4 layers ok.   If however, each layer has effects, then the word was go with Quadro 5k, or 6k
If I plan to add a Tesla card to complete the Maxiums system, figure on a big enough power supply.   My thinking is, go with a Quadro 2k and Tesla C2075 to leverage the Mercury playback engine within Premiere - and with the Quadro 2k, it is a less expensive card verses the Quadro 5k, or 6k cards
What about GPU cores verses memory bandwidth? Is there a diminishing return with more cores?
Adobe seemed to think 32GB of memory was sufficient against disc swapping. They did not however, indicated if 64 would be additive - this for Win7 Enterprise.
Since I've spec'd SSD drives I will have the fastest read/write option available within the form-factor
Certainly there are many factors, and know I've not covered them all however, appreciate constructive input

Having our HP Rep spec out the following quote for a daul proc 620:

Problems with Clone Tool / Content Aware Scaling in CS4 Mac

I've been using PS for about 1 year and a half. Sort of an Advanced beginner. One of the things I love is the clone tool. Since I've upgraded to CS4 I've had nothing but problems with the Clone tool. When I go over an area it doesn't show anything and the either makes the adjustments after a long delay or it goes black and then comes back with the adjustment. Sometimes when I'm dragging the brush the whole picture goes away replaced by a smear of color noise. It really makes the tool unusable. In many cases I've gone back to CS3.
I also have similar problems with the content aware scaling. Never been able to get it to work. Basically some of the nicest new features of CS4 are worthless for me. Tried looking at Adobe solution and searching the forums but I haven't seen any exactly similar problems of solutions.
Any help appreciated. I have a white 24' Intel Mac with a 2.33 GHz Intel Core 2 Dual with 3GB RAM.

As always the various User Forums are fantastic. Adobe (and other) get everyone to do their Tech Service for them. Thanks for the help.
So, two new pieces of info. When I disable Open GL everything works fine. (Sorry about the TIFF, I just didn't catch it) So in essence this solves my problem.
Also PS CS4 works perfectly on my new Aluminum MacBook. So clearly it is an issue with the video board on my iMac.
This brings me to the wrap-up question. Should PS CS4 theoretically work with Open GL on my iMac or is it a know problem with CS4 and older graphics boards? I'm assuming my board supports Open GL.
This is the Profiler data on the Graphics Card
Chipset Model: NVIDIA GeForce 7600 GT

Bus: PCIe
PCIe Lane Width: x16
VRAM (Total): 256 MB
Vendor: NVIDIA (0x10de)

Core Image: Hardware Accelerated
Main Display: Yes

Some of the Open GL features are nice and wouldn't mind having them but not worth buying a new Mac for. So the questions is: Is the some kind of upgrade / driver I can load to solve this problem.
Again Thanks for the help

Adobe photoshop cs4 graphics card acceleration help!

Need a little help,
everytime i start cs4, it says "adobe photoshop cs4 now includes graphics card acceleration. we recomend you vist your video card manufacturers website and download and install latest drives.
I am running vista 64 bit and a ati radeon hd 4800 series card "4870 to be exact" and under properties it is 8.612.0.0, but when i follow the adobe link and it brings me to the site it has version 9.5?? i clicked update driver and it says its upto date, is this a problem, and why does it show this everytime photoshop starts?
thanks

Go to this site and download the 9.9 driver set. The 9.5 driver set had a streaming problem that had to be fixed with a hotfix. I have the 4870 also and the 9.9 drivers are stable and have no issues with PS CS4 on vista 64 bit.
http://www.amd.com/us/Pages/AMDHomePage.aspx
Sometimes it is better not to change drivers if you don't have issues. But the 9.5 set has issues.
Make sure you un-install the old drivers. When you click on the Icon and start the install it will unpack as normal but you will come upon a screen to install or uninstall. Choose uninstall to remove the old driver package. Reboot. Then click on the icon again, it will unpack and you will get the screen again so choose install. Reboot after install.
If I remember correctly the 9.5 drivers, after install, did not show the reboot screen. You still have to reboot.

Hardware accelerated scaling on external display not smooth since 11.0

Hi,

We're actually making an Air app, but it seems flash player has the problem and air 3.2 comes with flash 11.2.

Anyone have any workarounds or other advice for this?

You can also try booting into the Safe Mode to see if the problem is there also. Shut down the computer and then power it back up. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the shift key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear. The boot up is significantly slower than normal. This will reset some caches, forces a directory check, and disables all startup and login items, among other things. If the system operates normally, there may be 3rd party applications which are causing a problem. Try deleting/disabling the third party applications after a restart by using the application unistaller. For each disable/delete, you will need to restart if you don't do them all at once.

Scaling issue when printing to HP devices from InDesign CS4

I seem to have a recurring error printing from InDesign CS4 (OS X Leopard 10.5.8) to both my HP printers (C3180 & Officejet Pro 8500). When printing at 100% size, the artwork gets scaled up slightly. For example, creating a simple 5 x 5" box ends up coming out at 5.125 x 5.125" on the printed sheet (with no scaling turned on in the print dialogue).
I've not been able to find any support issues related to this on either HP or Adobe's site. I suspect it's s driver/postscript incompatability issue. The same artwork prints at the correct size when exporting to PDF and printing from Acrobat.
Curious if anyone else is experiencing the same problem.

A large percentage of problems we see related to printing seem to be with HP printers. Are you doing borderless or anything like that? What is the page size and scaling in the driver?

...Photoshop CS4 now includes graphic card acceleration..

Every time I open my Photoshop CS4 I get the following pop-up:
When I load an image file I get this pop-up and my Photoshop closes:
I am running Vista and have had CS4 since it first came out, and never encountered any problems.I have a NVIDIA GeForce 7100 that is up to date, and GPU acceleration is enabled in my Photoshop.
If anybody can suggest what might be going on and how I could fix that, I would greatly appreciate it!

I'd start by resetting the photoshop cs4 preferences:
Press and hold the Shift+Ctrl+Alt keys just after starting the launch of photoshop cs4.
Keep holding the keys down until you get a dialog asking if you want to Delete the adobe photoshop settings file.
Press Yes because you do.
In that dialog about graphics card acceleration, you can check Don't Show Again
If resetting the preferences doesn't solve the issue, try turning off Enable Open GL Drawing and restarting photoshop cs4
If that works, then most likely something has gone awry with your graphics card driver.
(you might have to reinstall the graphics card driver)
Double check the Nvidia website to be sure you have the latest graphics card driver updates

Acceleration thru GPU in Photoshop CS4 ( ATI Mobility Radeon 3470 vs. Intel GMA X4500HD)

The main reason, why I am going to buy notebook instead PDA, is a need of editing photographs. The most demanding program will be Photoshop (CS4), so good-working GPU accelation would warm the heart of me. Unfortunately this document(*) does not mention Intel GMA X4500HD, which would be cheaper choice. Do you have any experience with this GPU and acceleration thru it in PS? (required RAM size ?). Thank you.
