Display Performance Difference between CS3 and CS4

I have a computer running CS3 and a computer running CS4. When I place an image in InDesign CS3, it looks way better than when I place it in CS4. The display performance for both computers are set exactly the same. Raster and Vector images are set to proxy, transparency is set to medium quality, Anti Aliasing is turned on.
The CS4 computer:
Processor Name: Dual-Core Intel Xeon
Processor Speed: 2.66 GHz
Number Of Processors: 2
Memory 4GB
System Version: Mac OS X 10.5.8 (9L31a)
CS3 computer:
Processor Name: PowerPC G5
Processor Speed: 2 GHz
Number Of Processors: 2
Memory 4GB
System Version: Mac OS X 10.5.8 (9L31a)
What am I missing? It is virtually every image.

"You can adjust the quality of the the display itself without altering the name of the setting."
Tried that. The end result is viewing images at the higher quality that slows down the machine.
"Also, the size and resolution of images plays a role in how large the previews are, and their quality."
The difference is very noticeable when the exact same image is placed at the exact same sizes in InDesign CS3 and CS4. Everything in the workflow remained the same, except the changing of InDesign files.

Difference between CS3 and CS4 when placing images, percentage not kept

There is some kind of difference between CS3 and CS4 when placing images. The images I've dealt with right now were vector images but it might apply to all kinds of images.
When replacing an existing image, the CS4 behaviour is to let the image fill up the frame. In CS3 the percentage was set to 100% as default (the % you see when selecting the image, not the container).
Also when replacing an impage in CS4, the "inner" image frame is kept, while in C3, the percentage was kept.
Is there some kind of placement preferences / settings to let CS4 act the same wat as CS3 did, when placing an image?
-- Andreas

Yes, the behavior was changed in CS4 (and many users, like me, prefer the new system).
If you click and drag a loaded image place cursor the entire image will be be scaled to fit the proportionally drawn frame -- a huge timesaver if you mostly place uncropped art. If you want 100% of the image at 100% scale, just click and release -- same as before, or as before you can pre-draw a frame and place into it and your image will come in cropped at 100% (unless you've changed the fitting options for the frame before placing).

Differences between CS3 and CS4 files?

Could you please explain what was the differences between "Adobe illustrator cs4 eps files" and "Adobe illustrator cs3 eps files"?
Thank for looking into this.

The difference would be that CS 4 would support the features in AI CS 4 and CS 3 would not support those features.

Whats the difference between CS3 and CS4?

I am currently using Dreamweaver CS3 and am curious about CS4
enhancements. What features are new in CS4? Is it worth the money
to upgrade?

I read the above feature list without getting the answer. So
I went to the next step and downloaded the CS4 trial version. My
first impressions was: -"Where is everything? It is all grey, no
functions maybe?.
But that was not the case it was just a matter of new user
interface. One very nice touch was a drop down where it was
possible to select if you wanted "Classic" design look, which then
was similar to CS3. But it was also possible to chose "Coder" and
all the design stuff was minimized and the code window expanded.
Quite nice actually.
Well, I may put in some more comments later, when I have had
some time to play with CS4, but I wanted to post a second link to
"Whats New" and more importantly, what is removed;
For
new features...
...and for old removed ones:

Dual 24" cinema displays - performance difference between 6490M and 6750M?

Hi,
I am running 2 x 24" Apple Cinema displays and need to choose between the 2.2ghz i7-2635QM and 2.0ghz i7-2720QM MacBook Pro 15" offerings. They come with the 256mg HD 6490M graphics and the 1gb 6750M graphics.
I do a bit of Photoshop CS3 (once a month), rarely any video rendering.
But as I run dual monitors (via a Matrox DualHead2Go DP edition) I am keen to find out if the extra £300 for the higher spec will actually assist my usage.
Its currently running on a MacBook Pro 6,2 2.4ghz early 2010 model. It runs fine on this.
Thanks
Eric

Can't help with your question, but wondering what video adapter you are using to connect 2x Cine Display to your MacBook Pro as I'd like to do the same.

Graph axes assignment: performance difference between ATTR_ACTIVE_XAXIS and ATTR_PLOT_XAXIS

Hi,
I am using a xy graph with both x axes and both y axes. There are two possibilities when adding a new plot:
1) PlotXY and SetPlotAttribute ( , , , ATTR_PLOT_XAXIS, );
2) SetCtrlAttribute ( , , ATTR_ACTIVE_XAXIS, ) and PlotXY
I tend to prefer the second method because I would assume it to be slightly faster, but what do the experts say?
Thanks!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi Wolfgang,
thank you for your interesting question.
First of all I want to say, that generally spoken, using the command "SetCtrlAttribute"is the best way to handle with your elements. I would suggest using this command when ever it is possible.
Now, to your question regarding the performance difference between "SetCtrlAttribute" and "SetPlotAttribute".
I think the performance difference occures, because in the background of the "SetPlotAttribute" command, another function called "ProcessDrawEvents" is executed. This event refreshes your plot again and again in the function whereas in the "SetCtrlAttribute" the refreshing is done once after the function has been finished. This might be a possible reason.
For example you have a progress bar which shows you the progress of installing a driver:
"SetPlotAttribute" would show you the progress bar moving step by step until installing the driver is done.
"SetCtrlAttribute" would just show you an empty bar at the start and a full progress bar when the installing process is done.
I think it is like that but I can't tell you 100%, therefore I would need to ask our developers.
If you want, i can forward the question to them, this might need some times. Also, then I would need to know which version of CVI you are using.
Please let me now if you want me to forward your question.
Have a nice day,

Difference in selection tools between CS3 and CS4?

I have not used CS4 or 5. I read there are big differences from CS3 to CS4 with regards to making selections.
How much different are the following tools in CS4 over CS3?
- marquees
- laso tools
- magic wand
- quick mask
Thanks.

The tools you mention have not changed noticeably.
There are additional tools and refinements in later versions.

Performance difference between page and scroll

Hi experts:
What is the technical difference between paging and scrolling, especially as pertains to database access and performance? The scenario would be a table result in a view where 200 results exist for a query. A scrollable table would show all results, while the paging table would show 10/20 per page. Is the database selection the same for both approaches? Or is the paging approach going to make more trips? If there are trips - how does the UI know how many pages should be presented? Is one or the other a better approach for data which is not existing in CRM system?
regards,
bill.

If you look at the servlet translated from a JSP, you'll see these lines:
Object page = this;
pageContext = _jspxFactory.getPageContext(this, request, response,
null, true, 8192, true);
_jspx_page_context = pageContext;
application = pageContext.getServletContext();So page is simply an alias for this.
And PageContext is analogous to ServletContext but please notice, it's not the same or a replacement; application is the implicit reference to ServletContext and not pageContext. There is no equivalent of pageContext in servlets.
Please note that the page scope doesn't refer to the page object but to the pageContext. Therefore, what Manivel said above
page is used as a scope with in one jspisn't correct.

Is there any performance difference between unique and no unique index

Hi,
We are working with both databases Oracle and MS-SQL and we have an open channel to MS-SQL server core team.
We got the word from them that there is a difference between unique and no unique index from the optimizer perspective, i.e. the optimizer knowing that the index is unique may choose a more suitable plan for running a specific query, we're still trying to find a specific example.
Anyway, since we do not have an open channel to Oracle core, I thought maybe one of you guys knows something about Oracle optimizer behavior on this issue.
I am interested verified answers from certified sources and not suggestions or thoughts.
Thanks in advanced,
Tal ([email protected]).

Need help with XML Compatibility between CS3 and CS4

I'm not a Dreamweaver guru but I am hoping someone will recognize my issue and be able to provide meaningful feedback.
Background:
A developer buddy and I are working together to create a new home page for an online retailer that utilizes flash banners. We're using XML to update the content of the banners. My buddy is creating the XML file and sending it to me to populate with content (i.e. descriptions, images, image paths, etc.). He is creating the XML file in CS3 and I am editing in CS4. Here's the issue: Whenever he uploads the populated XML file to the server the banners are displayed correctly. If I take the same file and upload it without editing, it works great. However, if I open the file, edit and resave before uploading to the web server, the the banners all have extra spaces between each line of content - almost as if it were double spaced. If you look at the code, the code looks fine. In fact, the code looks exactly like it did when my buddy sent the file to me. I believe we have isolated the problem to something weird with my installation of DW. I have downloaded and installed any and all updates. Oh yeah he's using a MAC version and I am using the PC version of DW.
Has anyone seen anything like this before???
Help...

Thank you for your response.
The code is listed below and to tell you the truth the following code is both good and bad. As I mentioned before, if my buddy sends me this xml file and I upload it to the server, it works fine. If I open the file and immediately save it without making any changes then upload it, I experience the previously described promblem. It's very strange. The code in both files is identical.
To get a clearer picture of what I am describing, go to http://www.everythingministry.com/beta3.htm. The book descriptions appear correctly under the "New and Recommended" tab. However, whenever I edit any one of the six xml files that control the content for each of these tabs it ends up looking like what you currently see under the "New Music" tab. I have actually tried to update from 2 different machines running DW CS4.
Below are the xml files for the two tabs I referenced in the paragraph above:

Color differences between LR and CS4

I've recently switched from PC to MacbookPro and installed latest versions of Lightroom and CS4. I do most of my editing in Lightroom and sometimes export to Photoshop. I noticed that there is a huge difference between the colors in Lightroom vs the colors in Photoshop even with NO editing done at all when I firt import to Lightroom. I import my raw files into Lightroom, do no editing, reset the files to ensure no editing, and then export into Photoshop and the image looks totally different color wise. Any ideas as to why?? My color settings are all set to srgb consistanty amongst all the 2 systems. Any other thoughts on what could be causing this? THanks

>I change the color working space in PS from my monitor profile (Eye One display tool-generated) to ProPhotoRGB, which is apparently what LR uses.
You NEVER EVER want to use the monitor profile as the working space. The only exception is when you make small graphics (i.e not photographs) for websites that need to match CSS code. Photoshop needs to be setup as the first image in
this link i.e. using a standard workingspace (mostly sRGB, adobeRGB, or prophotoRGB) and to respect all embedded profiles.
>In other words, if I use the calibrated monitor profile in both the system preferences color profile (i.e., on my MacBook Pro) and in PS, the PS and LR images don't match. I'd really love to solve this problem, or determine what I don't understand here. Thanks, Mitch
Photoshop does not need to be told about the monitor profile. It already automatically converts everything you see to it since it knows the monitor profile by simply asking the system software. What you see in your case is that Lightroom (or ACR if you use the RAW photoshop integration) correctly exports the image in a standard color space (whatever you choose in Preferences) and then you have set up Photoshop to completely disregard this fact and treat the image as if it was in the monitor profile. This is not a good thing to do.

Performance difference between 6490M and 6750M?

I'm looking at a new 15" MBP. What performance difference will I likely see between the Radeon 6490M and 6750M? It's a huge jump in graphics memory, but how much will it help me? I'm not a gamer at all, but I do a fair amount of work with photos and video.
Thanks!

Since you don't play games, you'll notice a difference in graphic and video applications that are GPU accelerated, like Motion, and Photoshop CS4 & 5.

A question about a difference between CS3 and CS6 (sorry if it's wrong addressed)

When I place in InDesign (both CS3 and CS6) a transparent tif image (CMYK) there is a difference between those created in Photoshop CS3 (correct) and CS6 (white background). Why?

EDIT: With the new InDesign CS6 update (8.1) Photoshop CS6 tifs with transparency import correctly now. Thank you

Performance difference between sqlj and jdbc

hi:
i am working with a project and i have to generate text files
from database . first i am working with pl/sql, but i am not so
satisfied with the performance. so i turn to java stored procedure. I have two choice sqlj and jdbc when accessing
database? which performs better? sqlj or jdbc? or there's only
little difference.
And would u like to give me some other choice to run faster.
maybe pro*c/c++ is a choice . but if it can't run much faster ,
it's not a better choice.
