Does Photoshop CC support true 16-bit color editing?

In Photoshop CS6, what Adobe calls 16-bit is actually 15-bit. I'm curious why they do that and does CC have true 16-bit editing? Or is this a bug in the Info dialog where white is reported as only 32,768 as white when it should be up in the 65k range.
Thanks.

Not a bug, the values are 0..32768 so that the calculations run faster and the range has an exact middle value.
It is still using 16 bits, just not the full 0..65535 range.

Does Photoshop Elements support raw files from the Panasonic GH3 camera?

Yes, if you have PSE 11 (not the mac app store version). You will need to go to Help>Updates in the editor to update ACR to 7.3.

Does Photoshop CS6 support Nikon D810 raw files?

Does Photoshop CS6 support Nikon D810 raw files? Photoshop won't allow me to open the raw files and Bridge won't display the files either. I tried to download the camera raw plug-in 8.6 but read somewhere that Photoshop CS6 doesn't support it? HELP!!!

It should. The D810 had support since version 8.6. (A relative newcomer.) Did you use Help > Updates on the menu bar?
Take note that the updates for Camera Raw in CS6 only supports updates for cameras and nothing more. You won't get any of the new features inherent in the versions for Photoshop CC (like the filter brush in the Graduated Filter).

When does Photoshop cc supports the raw files wich are coming from the Nikon D5500 ?

Hello,
When does Photoshop cc supports the raw files wich are coming from the Nikon D5500 ?
Iam a very happy user of Photoshop, specially for my raw files... i find it frustrated that i can't work on my files for now..
Greatings Danny

The D5500 was just released and Adobe is working on support. Cannot say how long for sure, but it should be within a month or two. Meanwhile, you could shoot in NEF+JPEG and set Camera Raw to open your JPEGs as well. Not as much data, but will be better than nothing..

Does Photoshop CS5 support Nikon D800 raw?

Does Photoshop CS5 support Nikon D800 raw?

Curt Y wrote:
From posts I have read the camera raw starting in 7.2 is far superior to the older version.
Yes, absolutely, no contest. The D800 already has an almost unprecedented dynamic range, and Process Version 2012 (ACR 7.1 and up), with its new highlight recovery algorithm, really makes it shine. Using PV 2010 (up to ACR 6.7) on that camera feels almost like a waste.

Does Photoshop CC support Multi GPU?

Hey Everyone!
Does Photoshop CC support multi GPU like Cinema 4D? Would be nice to read a "Yes"

Are you thinking in terms of leveraging additional GPU support ti increase performance? If that is the case, I am not 100% sure, but have a strong feeling that the answer is no. This is from memory of answers Chris Cox has given here. If you are thinking more in terms of supporting a third monitor, then I think is more OS than Photoshop, and will probably work. Least ways I hope so because it’s something I’d like to do when I get round to it.
The thing is, a good system with the good GPU is going to be more than enough for Photoshop for most of what you would use it for.

Does Photoshop CS4 support ATY RadeonX1600 plus Apple Cinema 32" display (18 pin connector)

SEE SCREEN SHOT OF ALL THREE RENDERINGS IN ORDER: PHOTOSHOP CS4, LIGHTROOM2, BRIDGE.
Have been getting very harsh/hot renderings of images in PS CS4. Bridge, Lightroom 2 and even Nikon's Capture NX2 are all quite similar in rendering image. Have used DNG created from Raw Nikon NEF. Rendering in PS CS4 significantly different on Cinema display, even though the RGB levels read the same in Brdige and Photoshop. The Cinema display is the older 32" that has the larger DVI link and is a matte screen as opposed to the new one released by Apple that has the mini-dvi link and is a glossy screen. The rendering in ACR 5.5 that is brought up by Bridge looks fine, then when opening it in Photoshop it becomes very yellow/red and blows up the highlights - approximately like adding +50 to vibrance.
Driver problem??????????? All software is current, Mac OS/X 10.5.8, PS 11.0.1, ACR 5.5.0.97
Found a thread about driver problems but not this problem nor this configuration was confirmed. Have turned off GL as per that thread anyway.

I am adding this: when looking at the screen shot on my Cinema Display, the Photoshop rendering does not show the harsh yellows/reds that I see when looking directly at the image, Prophoto RGB 16bpc. The screen shot of the three renderings of the same image look far more similar than in real life here. I see the screen shot is only 8 bpc, and have opened it with its own color profile (PNG) and also converting it to the working profile of Prophoto RGB.

Does Photoshop Elements 12 have a CMYK color mode?

Does Photshop Elements 12 have a CMYK color mode?

Depending on where you bought it you may be able to return it for a full refund within thirty days. Certainly if you got it from Adobe you can return it no reason required (within thirty days).
Not quite sure why you think it is shabby though. Surely you must have realised that there would be differences between a $700 product and a $100 one.

Does Photoshop CC support dual monitors

I just got off a chat with PS CC support. Since the latest update I have to click several times on photos edited in Camera Raw before they open in PS. The support person tells me that Adobe does not recommend the use of dual monitors. I have been using dual monitors for over 5 years, my computer has plenty of horsepower and every photographer or designer I know uses at least two monitors and sometimes more. It seems ridiculoyus to me that Adobe would say this. Has anyone else run into this concern? Thanx
Jim Cummings.

Jim, can you correlate the delay with anything other than Photoshop/Bridge? What drive is the Bridge cache saving to? What drive is Photoshop's primary scratch space assigned to? I'm wondering if those drives are needing to wake up from sleep mode.
If this is happening with previously processed RAW files, could it be to do with their Sidecar files? Do virgin RAW files open OK? You could try converting to DNG perhaps. John Nack blogged about saving a ton of drive space converting all his RAW files to DNG a few days ago. Whoops! I just checked and it was to do with Lightroom

Will mountain lion supports a 10 bits color depth?

Just wondering if and when it will, and how much it affects color accuracy in photography comparing to chain that supports a full 10 bits per channel color depth.
Thanks in advance for your answer.

Its a big deal for me sadly, Lion is still somewhat buggy and I fear it always will be, and now 10.8 comes along, I don't want my main machine to be part of the IOS family. For myself its time to move on from Apple. Great machines but I liked OS X being different to IOS, now the line between both is far to blurred and seeing the same thing on every machine almost is not what I personally want, this is not innovation in my mind just assimilation, time to look for something else why my iMac still has some value.
Then please be realistic. The announcement just came out and people are already arguing over the cost or if it will be free. That will be well down the track. Just get on with using either Lion or Snow Leopard, whatever you prefer and worry about ML when it is released!

Does Photoshop Touch support "Actions"

One of the features I use most in Photoshop is the "Actions". So far I have not been able to find that feature on Photoshop Touch. Can anyone tell me if that feature exists or if it is something I can look forward to in a future release? Having the ability to take a picture while on location and then to instantly apply preprogrammed actions would make Photoshop Touch an undispensable app for me.

Hi MRubillo,
Photoshop Touch doesn't currently support actions. I'm not sure if it would be possible to incorporate this functionality into a tablet based app or not. I created the following feature request on your behalf, please add your vote and any comments you would like to see included.

Does Mavericks add support for 10 bit per channel capable monitors

Just bought a HP Dreamcolor z27X monitor and have a new Mac Pro 6,1 and would like to know if my workstation supports the full capabilities of the monitor I just purchased.

JonB8305 wrote:
10.9.3 still doesn't add the 10 bit support.
That 'is a strong inhalation of breath' (forum will not allow s..ks). I have to say Apple are falling way behind in terms of supporting current media standards.
Not ony has 10bit video been around for quite some time now and is something used and supported in Adobe products in the Windows world, but Apple have also failed to support HD audio standards as used in Blu-Ray as an example and also look like failing to support H.265 as will be used for 4K video. (H.265 is twice as efficient as H.264 making it far more practical for the much bigger bandwidth requirements of 4K video.)
Now in the case of HD audio and H.265 it might be that there is no justification from a playback point of view from Apple's perspective, but what Apple appear to have forgotten is that Mac used to be the first choice for creating media files and if Apple don't support these standards then Macs can no longer be viewed as being suitable for media creation. Therefore this is a huge own goal on Apple's part as content creators would be precisely those people looking to buy new Mac Pro systems and Apple have at least designed the hardware to support 4K editing even if their software is increasingly too feeble to support the required standards.
Note: I have previously submitted an enhancement request to Apple regarding 10bit video support, and also H.265 support, both prior to Mavericks being released.
I have no problem with Apple not supporting Blu-Ray playback in the form of providing themselves a Blu-Ray player. However as above I feel they should make the Mac or more accurately OS X able to utilise the same formats as this will allow both content creation tools, and also the possibility for a third-party Blu-Ray player that supports HD audio formats. It is apparently possible for a Mac running Windows in Boot Camp to play these HD audio formats which makes sense since Macs use pretty much the same hardware as 'real' PCs so it is just OS X that is the problem. In fact the way things are going even Linux is moving ahead of OS X in terms of media format support.

Macbook Pro & Mini Dispalyport Does NOT Support 10 bit Color Monitors

I am extremely concerned regarding Apple's Mini Displayport. Mini Displayport has been out for a year now, and is the video out port with the maximum signal output on Macbook Pro's. Apple's Mini Displayport still does not offer the compatibility and performance, that is possible with the standard Displayport implantation on Windows.
Case in point two monitors from NEC and Eizo, the NEC PA214W and the Eizo CG223W:
http://www.eizo.com/global/products/coloredge/cg223w/index.html
http://www.necdisplay.com/Products/Product/?product=5a6621b9-e9c4-4f02-8542-e625 1364bf7c
All current Macbook Pro's with Mini Displayport are unable to support the 10 bit color that these monitors are capable of. This is unacceptable, and an example of Apple leading customers to believe that Mini Displayport, offers the same capabillities and performance as Displayport.
It is my understanding that on paper MBP's with the NVidia 9400/9600 are capable of outputting a 10 bit signal. They just do not at this point in time, unlike all PC notebooks with Displayport. Mini Displayport has been sold by Apple as being every bit as capable only smaller than Displayport. The truth is it is not.
Apple notebooks can not currently produce the same level of quality on these monitors as Windows notebooks with Displayport that have also been on the market for a year now.
http://www.tftcentral.co.uk/newsarchive/19.htm#10-bitips

Displayport:
http://www.displayport.org/consumer/
http://www.displayport.org/consumer/?q=content/faq
"Performance for a display interface is really bandwidth. So Displayport offers up to 10.8 Gigabits per second. That bandwidth can be allocated for greater color depth (more colors per pixel, i.e.. 30 bit color monitors), it can be allocated to resolution, i.e.. WQXGA , or refresh rate."
Note: The bandwidth has increased to 21.6 Gbps with the announcement of Displayport v1.2.
It appears to me that aside from the top of the line (Windows PC) notebooks, that the only systems that will currently be able to achieve 30 bit color with these monitors are going to be desktop systems with Displayport/Mini Displayport and the necessary GPU and Operating System. This is an example of the difficulty in getting accurate information when it comes to what a system can and can not do. Rod correctly pointed out that I was mistaken in saying that "all" PC notebooks with Displayport are capable of achieving 10 bit per channel output, some do not. As BSteely, Lewis, and Rod have discussed Mini Displayport is not what is responsible for the fact that Macbook Pros can not currently output 10 bit per channel signal. Displayport exists and allows for this capability, and I stand by my opinion that currently Macbook Pros with Mini Displayport do not implement the full Displayport spec, in particular the ability to output 10 bit per channel signal to 30 bit color monitors. On the PC side it is the "workstation" class notebooks that have had and continue to have this capability. There may be others, but in reviewing Dell, HP, and Lenovo I am only finding it in the Precision, W series, and Elitebook models. The latest T Series Thinkpads with Quadro GPU's may work as well. At this point, I am not going to research each and every model to determine exactly which notebook models and configurations will work, except to say none of them are Macbook Pros. The lesson here should be get multiple confirmations regarding your system's configuration and your intentions in its use. I was mistaken in my understanding that the MBP 17 with Mini Displayport would support the Displayport spec as it relates to 30 bit color monitors. I have stated what I think is wrong about that, but that is the way it is for now. Apple is not the only company to hype a technology, only to offer a limited implementation of it. "Vista Capable" comes to mind.

This post will hopefully alert others to this limitation. To end on a positive note, in my experience the last six months with my Macbook Pro, Apple has demonstrated it can resolve issues quickly and effectively, and I have been extremely pleased to the extent that they have worked with me to address the few significant issues that have come up, including a system replacement in quick order. This may or may not be something they will be able to address with the current Macbook Pros or even the next generation. We will see.

It's basically the same in PSE 8.

Does Photoshop Elements 11 support actions?

I have an old version of Photoshop on an old computer. I dont have the money to by the newest version of photoshop. I just bought photoshop 10, does photoshop 11 support actions? It is the one thing i really miss.

In addition to the above, photoshop elements supports playing of actions recorded in the full version of photoshop, but not action recording. (same as photoshop elements 10)
Pse 11 does ship with some actions already installed in various places including the much improved actions player.
So depending on how old your version of the full photoshop is, pse 11 will probably play a good portion of the actions you can record in photoshop.
An example of the new improved actions player (panel) in pse 11 that is available in the expert mode (full edit) with some actions added that were recorded in the full version of photoshop.
