Can Iris Pro run Photoshop 3D

I want to upgrade my 2009 iMac to a 2013 version with Iris Pro (no discreet videocard) and as much RAM as I can get in there. Does anybody know if the 3D function in Photoshop CS6/CC run on this configuration? Adobe sets the minimum of 512MB of VRAM, recommends 1GB, but I don't know what that means for an integrated chip.
Brian

Also... I have now heard from a friend online that iMac Iris Pro has the equivelant processing power of 1GB of VRAM.  Does anybody know if this is correct, of is any comparison of eRAM and vRAM this way too much apples and oranges?

  • Can Mac Pro run AHCI under Windows?  No native command queuing?

    It seems that Mac Pro runs AHCI under OS X.
    Under Windows Vista 32/64 or XP 32/64, some reason AHCI cannot be enabled. It seems to only run legacy IDE mode. Even with modern HD, Mac Pro can not seems to take advantage of AHCI benefits such as hot-plugging and native command queuing. Does Apple thinks that native command queuing is necessary feature under OS X but not under Windows?
    Even with installing AHCI driver using F6 during Windows installation, AHCI mode cannot be obtained.
    Is there a simple way to enable AHCI mode besides modifying the grub bootloader as some suggested in forum? Or is it not possible until Apple modifies BIOS CSM or allows EFI modification? It seems that Apple wont address this issue with firmware update since Intel Mac Pros have been available for years now.
    Any suggestion of enabling AHCI under windows XP / Vista will be welcomed.

    HD Tune wont expect to show any change with or without NCQ.
    NCQ will show advantage in server environment or heavy multi-tasking environment, not on I/O meter. NCQ may even slow some game playing in some instance.
    AHCI adds other stuff like hotswapping or other modern goodies, not just NCQ.
    Mac Pro has Intel chip / controller capable of AHCI and RAID (well pseudo Intel Matrix RAID) only if Apple allows us to enble it in EFI.

  • Can no longer run Photoshop Elements 12, Premier Elements 12 of Photoshop CC on iMac

    I have a mid-2011 iMac i7 quad processor 27" iMac and after Yosemite can no longer use Photoshop Elements 12, Premier Elements 12 of Photoshop CC on my iMac. I keep getting the following msg even though I have uninstalled and reinstalled several times.

    PSE 12 requires you to have an Internet Connection at least once when you are installing it so that you can register the product and activate it.  After this process is complete, you don't need Internet connection unless you want to update it on a periodic basis (say once every 6 weeks).  This is only for the updates; So if you are not bothered with updates then you don't need Internet Connection.
    Hope this answers your question.

  • Can MacBook Pro Run Windows Vista?

    Hi,
    Can I run Windows Vista 32/64 bit on MacBook Pro without BootCamp? I saw it use Intel Core 2 Duo as its CPU.

    Actually it can (if you put in the Vista disk and clear OSX off the drive, which I wouldn't advise doing), but its not a good idea, because without the bootcamp drivers, you wont able to use the MBPs features, like the backlit keyboard, the built in iSight, the remote, the trackpad with two finger right click, no wireless, no ethernet, no USB or firewire, no 3D acceleration (no GPU drivers) and more. You could try and find out the vender of all those hardware components and download them (that is assuming they have drivers on their websites that will work with the MBP), but that could take a long time.
    Why you ask, because the hardware is totally compatible with XP SP2 and Vista. All Intel Macs that shipped after the release of bootcamp last year have the necessary firmware to boot Windows. All bootcamp does is install EFI firmware support for booting between OSX and Windows, add Windows booting to Startup Disk and burn a driver CD/DVD to add functionality of the above mentioned hardware.

  • Can Mac Pro run OS 10.5 server as if it was a xserve?

    My step-dad is getting an Apple server for his business. He was wondering if he could just run the OS 10.5 server off of a mac pro. Also if you can run OS 10.5 server on a mac pro, would there be a difference between how it would run on a xserve?

    Hi
    You can run OSX Server on any qualifying hardware you like. Regardless of which hardware you choose it will run the same. What load is placed on the server in terms of services, data throughput and network access would be handled to a large degree by the hardware chosen. An XServe is dedicated server hardware. A MacPro is a high-end workstation with enough about it to perform a similar role.
    If the business involves hundreds of users transferring large amounts of data across a fast network then go for hardware that is built to handle that load. If the business is primarily office based with a small user base (5-10 people) then a MacPro would be more than adequate.
    If all that is wanted is an internal mail server serving mail for the same amount of people and nothing else then a macmini would more than fit the bill. If by windows networking you mean 'can PCs connect to it?', the answer is yes.

  • Can Premiere Pro run with 1024 x 768 display?

    I know it says you need a 1280 x 900, but can it run with a smaller screen. I don't really need it for HD editing just regular video.

    It should... I just tried running it on my laptop at that resolution and it worked fine, but it doesn't give you a lot of room to work.

  • If I download mountain lion onto my computer can I still run photoshop cs5?

    I wanted to download the new mountain lion onto my computer, but i'm worried that my adobe cs5 programs won't be compatible with the new software.
    Something like this happened to a good friend of mine who owned cs3 and downloaded lion onto her computer and she was unable to run the program without upgrading cs3 to cs5. I don't have the money to spend to upgrade my programs to cs6. So I would like to ask if mountain lion will still let me run cs5?

    Hello,
    According to Adobe, Creative Suite applications are expected to work great on OS X Mountain Lion.

  • Can Mac Pro run off a modified sine wave inverter safely?

    I was looking into getting a car inverter for an upcoming road trip.
    The posts that I was reading said a pure sine wave inverter was the best. Unfortunately the cost is really up there. A modified sine wave inverter is about a 1/4th of the cost. Some blogs mentioned the modified version works with newer computers, however they were not specific.
    Needing some nerdy help!

    If you are producing 110 volts to supply the computer's AC adaptor, then it should be OK.
    I would verify with the inverter's manufacturer that it is suitable for use with computers and their power adaptors. Also, be sure the inverter provides adequate power.

  • I have a MacBook Pro OS X 10.4.11. Can I upgrade it to run Photoshop CS6?

    I have a MacBook Pro OS X 10.4.11. Can I upgrade it to run Photoshop CS6?  CS6 requires OS X v10.6.8 or better.

    You have your answer. If you're asking can you upgrade to 10.6 Snow Leopard then yes. Be aware that to run Photoshop adequately you'll need ram and room on your hard drive, both of which we know nothing about. You'll need to purchase a retail version of 10.6 and then update to 10.6.8.

  • Will the Intel Iris Pro Graphics 5200 run all Photoshop effects?

    I am lost and cant find a final answer to the following.
    I am about to buy a MacBook Pro and cant decide between the one with dedicated GPU and the one without. I want to go for the one without - the increased battery performance and lack of overheating are favourable.
    BUT... I cant get a deffinate answer to whether the Intel® Iris™ Pro Graphics 5200 on the 4th gen i7 processors (ie the one without the dedicated GPU) will run all these Photoshop effects:
    Adaptive Wide Angle Filter (compatible video card required)
    Liquify (accelerated with compatible video card with 512 MB of VRAM)
    Oil Paint (compatible video card required)
    Warp and Puppet Warp (accelerated with compatible video card)
    Field Blur, Iris Blur, and Tilt/Shift (accelerated with compatible video card supporting OpenCL)
    Lighting Effects Gallery (compatible video card required with 512 MB of VRAM)
    New 3D enhancements (3D features in Photoshop require a compatible video card with 512 MB of VRAM):
    Draggable Shadows
    Ground plane reflections
    Roughness
    On-canvas user interface controls
    Ground plane
    Light widgets on edge of canvas
    IBL (image-based light) controller
    I don't need them to run massively fast, I just need to know if they will work without a dedicated GPU. I appreciate the Intel® Iris™ Pro Graphics 5200 supports open gl/cl but I cant find an idiots proof answer if that means all these features will work.
    HELP!
    Cheers

    We’re not aware of any issues using that specific card with Photoshop and all features should be supported.

  • How can I transfer Photoshop CS5 from my macbook pro running Maverick to my iMac that is running Mountain Lion

    I have been trying to figure out how to transfer Photoshop CS5 from my Macbook Pro to the my iMac. The Macbook Pro was running Mountain Lion until I updated a few days ago to Maverick. The iMac is sill running Mountain Lion because when I went to update to Maverick it let me know that I would not be able to run Photoshop CS3. Under normal conditions I would not be concerned, but I don't have the Photoshop CS5 disk anymore to install it, so hence my problem.
    I tried backing up to time machine and that did not work, I tried a transfer using firewire and it transfer the problem but then when I try to open it on the iMac it is looking for the serial number.
    I would appreicate any help on resolving this.

    Hi landonw
    The HD will probably have to be removed from the MacBook Pro and connected to a USB adapter or placed in a dock to get your data off of it. I would take the MacBook Pro along, the folks at the Apple Store should be more than happy to help transfer your data to a new iMac.
    {quote:}All I am really concerned about is my iTunes database and my firefox profiles.{quote}
    What no BACKUP'
    To protect your data in the future, pickup a USB External HD +(for under a $100)+ and use Time Machine.

    Since Adobe and AMD have a relationship, you can expect the higher end Adobe effects to support discrete Nvidia cards, and probably not put much energy into GPU support for Intel HD 5000 graphics. Yes, PS will run on HD 5000 chips, but you may find that some higher demand features get automatically disabled by the Photoshop GPU "sniffer", and others that do work, may suffer poorer performance, or full feature support.
    Suggest you post your question in the Adobe Photoshop community too.

  • I'm using a 15" Macbook Pro running OSX6.8 and cannot upgrade. I have a subscription to Adobe CC but none of these work on this so I was on with Adobe for 5 hours trying to install and launch Illustrator, InDesign, Photoshop, Muse, and Acrobat Pro from CS

    I'm using a 15" Macbook Pro running OSX6.8 and cannot upgrade. I have a subscription to Adobe CC but none of these work on this so I was on with Adobe for 5 hours trying to install and launch Illustrator, InDesign, Photoshop, Muse, and Acrobat Pro from CS6. Well, InDesign is the only one that works and I have a ton of work due! I don't have a serial number for Photoshop or Illustrator except for CS3, and they don't work. InDesign gave me no problems. Illustrator says it can't work on this machine. Photoshop needs a serial number. I'm stumped and getting anxious and freaked out. Can anyone help? Adobe Chat is down right now.

    if you have a cc subscription, close ps > sign out and then back in to your cc desktop > open ps.
    ai cs6 requires:
    Multicore Intel processor with 64-bit support
    Mac OS X v10.6.8 or v10.7. Adobe Creative Suite 5, CS5.5, and CS6 applications support Mac OS X v10.8 and v10.9 when installed on Intel-based systems.*

  • Which Apple computers can run Photoshop CS 6 Extended?

    I'm buying a new computer, but I need one that can run Photoshop CS 6 Extended with the video and storyboard features. My 2011 Macbook Pro 13' without discrete graphics was not able to, but my mid 2010 Macbook Pro 15' was. I want to make sure that my new computer would be able to run the program. Can somebody help me? Is the new Macbook Air (or the one from last year) okay? What about the Macbook Retina 13' or 15'? Thank you so much!

    yuechen,
    this Adobe page lists the system requirements for Photoshop CS 6 Extended. It looks as though VRAM might have been the stumbling block for your 13-inch MacBook Pro; do you know how much RAM was installed in it? Apparently Photoshop CS 6 Extended requires 512 MB of VRAM, and your 13-inch MacBook Pro would only allocate 512 MB to its integrated graphics if it had at least 8 GB of RAM installed. If VRAM was the stumbling block, then a Mid 2013 or Early 2014 MacBook Air with 8 GB of RAM would definitely have enough graphics memory allocated. (I don’t know if one with 4 GB of RAM would have enough; it might.) Similarly, an Early 2013 or Late 2013 MacBook Pro with at least 8 GB of RAM would meet the graphics memory requirement; I don’t know if one with 4 GB would or not.

  • HELP!  Mac Pro Desktop...  Can/Should I run with my NEC 2070NX LCD?

    My main reason for considering a MAC is my photography work, my peers tell me to go this route (Mac). I currently run Adobe Photoshop CS2 on a PC and HP Laptop.
    I have been considering buying an iMAC 20" OR 24".. now the MAC PRO Desktop! Still undecided! Comments & Suggestions greatly appreciated!
    I am leaning towards the MAC PRO Desktop purchase, pretty much base unit for now Dual 2.66, 250 HD, 256 Graphics, etc.
    I am thinking if using my existing NEC LCD with the Mac Pro Desktop... Can I run with my NEC 2070NX LCD?
    I bought the NEC about 2 months ago.. highly recommended for photo use due to the LCD Panel being an S-IPS type, much better than TFT as I hear!

    I loathe Windows and have been a Mac user since the Apple II+ so far be it from me to discourage anyone from switching...but....Photoshop is not yet a Universal Binary which means it doesn't run natively on the Mac Intel line. If you have a good, fast windows machine now, moving to a mac will be a downgradein speed. Overall it may be a win if you are experiencing crashing, have problems with viruses or have other issues, but if you have a fast, stable PC running Photoshop that is working well for you the lesser speed of PS on a Mac is something to be aware of. Your monitor is no concern or problem. A base unit purchase, however, is. The base 1gig of ram is insufficient for all but the most casual user of a MacPro and it is wholly insufficient for a heavy Photoshop user because Photoshop needs RAM and so does Rosetta in order to run Photoshop in emulation on the Intel board. (don't bother nitpicking if emulation isn't the exact term ) Three megs of RAM is, IMHO, your base configuration, and if you want to use Aperture, the ATI card becomes part of the base configuration too. But...the MacPRo wants memory in pairs and three gigs, it turns out, handicaps the speed of the machine a bit...so while three gigs is a "base" (again...IMHO) for Photoshop, 4 gigs is my strong recommendation (which I followed personally).

Maybe you are looking for
