Adobe PS (cs 5.5)not recognising all of my RAM

Hi.
I am currently running a Mac with OS 10.8.2 and have installed Adobe CS 5.5 Production Premium. Within Photoshop- Preferences- Performance, Photoshop is only recognising 2100MB of RAM, while my Computer has 16GB of RAM available. I have checked and according to the OS Finder, this 16GB is active. I have also checked across other Adobe programs such as Adobe Premier and have confirmed that here it is also recognising the Available 16GB of RAM. Thus it is only in Photoshop that this is occurring. I have since deleted all of my preferences from both the user level and the hard drive but no recification. I have noticed a recent discussion which sounds very familiar, http://forums.adobe.com/message/4823440
however this is on a windows based system and the last suggestion from a user was to a windows related issue and I am not sure that fixed the issue for them or not.
Anyway I would appreciate and help or suggestions on this matter as I can't even draw a path at the moment without PS crashing or freezing up.
Cheers
Nathan

Hi Curt- 1000Mb = 1GB. PS is currently recognising 2100Mb (2.1GB) Where I actually have 16000MB available (16GB) another person in the same office next to me is operating PS has a dispaly of 15462 MB available (15.4GB).
Cheers

Adobe Reader 10.1.2 not recognising keyboard input

Hi,
I'm having a problem with Adobe Reader X on Windows 7 Ultimate. Adobe Reader is not recognising any keyboard input, so I'm unable to type in a page number to jump to that page, the alt key doesn't bring up the menu, even Alt+F4 doesn't close the application etc. Has anybody experienced this problem, and if so, is there a solution out there?
I've tried both repairing the installation, and doing a new install, both of which have failed to rectify the problem.
Thanks.

Sorry for the confusion. Please try the following steps:
1. Launch Notepad and type in following:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[-HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts\.exe]
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts\.exe]
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts\.exe\OpenWithList]
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts\.exe\OpenWithProgids]
"exefile"=hex(0):
2. Click on File > Save As
3. In the new dialog that appears:
Select All Files in the Save as type list, and then type C:\Exe.reg in the File name box.
Select Unicode in the Encoding list. Save it and remember the file location.
4. Open My Computer and double click on the C: icon
5. You will see a file by the name of "Exe.reg". Double click on the same and click Yes on any dialog that appears.
6. Once completed, restart the computer and your problem should be resolved.

Adobe Media Encoder CC 2014 not recognising opacity/alpha values from After Effects

Hello, I'm importing AE compositions directly into Media Encoder to output as 'Match Source - Medium Bitrate H.264' files. However Media Encoder is not recognising the opacity values of the layers in AE and the background images are coming out as opaque rather than partially transparent.
How can I resolve this? If I render the movie from AE as a .mov then use Media Encoder it works fine, but that takes a lot more time.

Can you post screenshots of your comp in After Effects and the result you are getting from AME?
One issue you may be hitting is that AME is not aware of the composition background color. This is a limitation of Dynamic Link; because a primary use case of Dynamic Link is placing an After Effects composition, such as lower-thirds titles, into a Premiere Pro sequence, Dynamic Link ignores the background color of the composition and treats any the background pixels as alpha. In AME, since there is no compositing happening, black is used to fill in the alpha area.
To work around this limitation, place a solid at the bottom of your composition layer stack that is the color of your background.

HELP: Premiere Pro CC not using all CPU and RAM during rendering and export

Hello,
I am using Premiere Pro CC on a Windows 7. My timeline is quite simple with two videos, one with the movie (mpeg) and the other with the subtitles (avi).
When I render the sequence in PP or export, the rendering time is way too slow and it only uses around 15-20% of the CPU and 3 GB of RAM.
My hardware config is :
- CPU : i7-4770k 3.50Ghz
- RAM : 8 GB
- Disk : 2 x 3 TB SATA (no raid)
RAM is not the bottleneck, neither the disk access.
I have tried rendering and exporting the same project on an iMac (with an i5 2.7 Ghz and 4 GB RAM and only 1 disk) and the result is 4x faster !!!
The CPU usage is close to 100% as well as RAM usage.
So how come PP uses all resources availble on an iMac and not on a Windows 7 ?
Is there any known bug or software bottleneck on Windows 7 ?
My machine is brand new and nothing much installed besides Adobe products.
Any help is very much appreciated.
Thanks,

I just rendered out a a 2 minute sequence with about 100 clips in it and Colorista effects on everything to the Vimeo 1080 H264 preset. It took about 5 minutes to render straight from Premiere, it used all the recourses it could, my CPU was running at near %100, same with my ram and GPU, I was happy.
Then I did another render with Red Giant Denoiser and it now wants to take 30 mins and it is only using about %20 of the recourses available. My problem isn't that its taking longer with Denoiser but that its not using all of my computers CPU and GPU.
Im rendering at maximum render quality and bit dept to H264 (Im happy to wait the extra time), if I try to use VRB 2 it encodes 1 pass at a time and wants to take up to 40 minutes.
I would appreciate some advice on this.

Left hand USB port not recognising all devices

Hi, I have a MacBook Pro that I bought in November.
I've noticed in the last few days that USB devices connected to the port on the left hand side (i.e. next to power socket) are not always being recognised. So, for example, it sees my iPod and Mighty Mouse, but not my Nikon camera.
What could be causing this? Should I be worried?

The dealer is correct in that Apple provide the same specs for each usb port - 500mA. However experience has shown that most often there is a difference between the ports. Apparently there is virtually no margin above the 500mA on MBP's. There may be some other circuitry difference causing the lesser performance from the LH port. It probably doesn't need much to make the difference with plugins close to the 500mA max.
For my optical Logitech mouse the difference seems to be that the mouse must be used on the same side of the computer as the usb module to work reliably though it doesn't matter which port if I'm happy to use it & the module on the LH side of the computer. This is not a problem with the MBP in this instance.
My WD My Book Essentials external drive works fine on the LH side port.
I have not yet seen anywhere any objective test of the power output from the 2 ports. I would be interested in the results.

After Effects not recognising all RAM

I have just installed After Effects on a new PC with 6GB of RAM, however on the splash screen that appears when loading up AE it says x% of 4GB RAM being used.
Do I need to do something to make it see 6GB?
Thanks in advance.

> I have read all the posts and advice and still come out confused - I
have 8GB (on OS X) and just leave the multiprocessor options switched
off until someone comes up with a clear and concise walkthrough for
idiots like me !
from the post that I linked to:
"Let's take an example of a computer with eight processor cores and 8GB of RAM:
For HD, you want at least 2GB for each process; preferably more. And you almost always want to leave at least 2GB for other applications. That leads to some relatively simple math. For an eight-core system with 8GB of RAM, leaving 2GB for other applications gets you down to 6GB. That's enough RAM for three processes at 2GB each."
Is there something about that that you don't understand? Set Minimum Allocation Per CPU to 2GB. Set RAM To Leave For Other Applications to 2GB. You're done. After Effects will use three processes for rendering.

Photoshop CC Not Seeing All of System Ram

I have a Windows 7 -64 bit Professional system with 24 gb of ram. Photoshop CS 5 and 6 had no problem seeing that much ram, but Photoshop CC only shows a little less than 4 gb.

Photoshop CC installs a 32 bit exe and a 64 bit exe on your system. Use the 64 bit version under Program Files. or type Photoshop CC in the Start Menu's search box. You should see Photoshop CC 64-bit in the list.
The 32-bit version is the one with the 4 GB ceiling, but some users have legacy 32-bit plugins and drivers that have not been updated and won't work in the 64 bit version.

this week I have received two RAM(4GB each) from hp.
I have placed those RAMs on expandable memory board and restarted the laptop but laptop didnt recognize both the RAMs (4 GB x 2 ).
Please help to resolve this issue.

I've paid for support from Apple for same issue. No solution yet. It's about a month.

My HP desktop does not read all of my ram.

I have 4 gigs installed and it says only 3.6 usuable. I've tried the msconfig method but it reduces it to 2.8. I'm running 64 bit OS and Processer. Windows 8.1 pro any help would really be aprecciated thanks

Hi Eric,
The amount of memory will vary depending on system activity. Go into Task Manager and compare your PC against the below results with a PC running W8.1 x64 with 4GB.
Next click on Open Resource Monitor and compare again.
The first image Available amount is graphed in the directly above image. The standby amount is semi-reserved to service video buffers but can be reduced dynamically depending on system needs. I would say that your system appears to be normal.

I have paid for Adobe Acrobat XI Pro OCR but it will not recognise a letter in the serial number for me to update my adobe account and any of the programs I have tried using to convert a PDF file on a Mac to a word doc it is converting file with funny sym

I have been supplied info in an email to copy and paste for a new product purchase "Adobe Acrobat XI Pro OCR" but am unsure how and where to copy and paste to. There is also a link below the serial number. I have tried entering serial number into my Adobe ID but it is not recognising one of the letters in the 24 Digit serial number??? Also I have tried other products previously downloaded to convert a 7 page PDF file on my Mac and convert it to a Word doc but everything I have tried is converting the file to display some text correctly but also displays random symbols and fonts in place of the handwritten info filled in on the form... also getting blank pages included instead of the info??? Would appreciate some help... I am older generation and not always tech savvy, and it is doing my head in haha.

Hi Jock,
I've checked your account, and all is well there. Please make sure that you're logging in with the same Adobe ID/password that you used when you signed up.
Then, clear the browser cache, and try logging in directly to https://cloud.acrobat.com.
Please let us know how it goes.

HELP!!!! Adobe will not recognise my serial number - trying to upgrade from LR4 to LR5

Help... I purchased Adobe Lightroom 4 in January 2013 via Amazon. I am now trying up upgrade to Lightroom 5 (via the Adobe site), and it will not recognise my serial number. Has anyone experienced this before? I do not want to buy into the Cloud scheme, so happy to pay the upgrade for my LR. I have all payment details from Amazon.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Hello,
I am in the installation section. There are 3 options on page:
1) I have a serial number and want to license Lightroom
2) need a serial umber? Buy - using your web browser
3) 30 day trial
I assumed that because I already had a serial number from my LR4 purchase, I select the first option, go from there and pay for the upgrade. When I select that, it takes me to another page where I need to enter a serial number. This is where I am getting stuck.

Printer Properties not displaying all settings.

The Printer properties in Adobe Reader for Linux do not display all the available preferences for a given printer driver- and you are unable to edit the Printer Command in the Printer Properties window to get around this. This combo of limitations renders it useless in our environment.
We have a Savin C6055 printer in a multi-tenant facility. Each print job needs User Code associated with it for accounting purposes. The CUPS drivers for Savin support this quite nicely and other Linux apps (Evince, OpenOffice, etc.) allow you to access this setting in the print dialog. Adobe Reader does not.
This is a problem.

Hi Patrick,
This is something we're planning to fix in our upcoming major release of the Reader. To know about upcoming releases of the reader on Unix, stay tuned to the reader blog at http://blogs.adobe.com/acroread
Thanks for reporting!

MBP not using all memory while rendering video

Hey,
When I do rendering in Adobe Premiere Por CS6, my Mac is not using all the available RAM: 2773 MB used....5416 MB free
Memory Pages:
                              1658 MB active....1099 MB wired
                              5420 MB inactive....11.2 MB free
it also says that:       3 swap files at peak usage
                               256 MB total swap space (20 MB used)
350 GB free storage space( total 750 GB)
I have a MBP (OS x Lion) late 2011 with i7 2.8 GHz and 8 GB RAM
Adobe Premiere Pro is set to use 6.5 GB of RAM but not even while working in the programme it has ever used that much of memory.
During rendering, it is the only app running, except for Google Chrome.
If this info is not enough, just ask what do you need to know...
PLEASE HELP, rendering takes forever.
Thanks,
kund

You never said what model Mac you have. Since this is the MacBook Pro forum, I assume you have some version of the MBP. 390% CPU would indicate CPU-boundedness for a quad-core CPU without active hyperthreading, or a dual-core CPU with hyperthreading active.
Given the high CPU usage and the low swap usage, it seems unlikely that memory usage is the problem, but I'm not a Premiere Pro user, so I couldn't guess what it.
You might try posting your question in an Adobe forum for Premiere Pro.
