Doing pro work in Photoshop CS3 with the MBPro santa rosa

I am so used to 23 inch monitors ( have 2 hi end G5 and corresponding monitors) i fear the tiny MBP (relatively speaking) screens. Do you Phsop users find difficulties doing work on photo images with the laptops?
I realize the compromises and im not looking forward to them but would like to have some feedback from users who do this often and do they get the same results they would if they were using their own desk tops?
The moving monitor nightmare of the past ( my 2000 Pismo )
as you move the top forward or backward the screen lightens/darkens and im not sure if this affects your final image. I personally cannot and have not worked on images ever with the PISMO except simple cloning or cropping. It was used for simpler tasks.
I have moved the screen of the Srosa in stores and not noted too much of a change in brightness. What are your experiences?
Would really like feedback and thanks

Wow. Forums seem to be having some issues this AM.
I have not travelled abroad with mine. My sister has.
She recently was on a trip to Japan and next month is off to Costa Rico and somewhere else. Forget where... memory isn't what it used to be lol.
I believe the dimensions of the 17" being 2" wider diagonally result in a weigh increase of about 1.4 lbs. That difference could mean a little or a lot depending on what else you are packing and how far or how long you are hauling it. That is definitely a very personal thing.
I know my sister looked very long and hard at the 15" and in the end decided the extra weight was worth the trade-off, but I could see how others could decide otherwise.
If it helps put it into any perspective though she is 5'3" and mid-30's. So we are not talking about a physically huge person carrying this around. I believe she packs it all in a Lowepro Vertex 300 AW bag.
I don't know if that lends any help to the question, ultimately it is all very personal decisions which only the buyer can decide.

  • Gaussian Blur does not work on Photoshop CS3

    Hello,
    the last few days the gaussian blur plugin does not work in Adobe Photoshop CS3. Can you tell me what can i do to solve this problem??

    Boilerplate-text:
    Are Photoshop and OS fully updated and have you performed the usual trouble-shooting routines (trashing prefs by pressing command-alt-shift/ctrl-alt-shift while starting Photoshop until the appropriate dialog appears after making sure all customized presets like Actions, Patterns, Brushes etc. have been saved and making a note of the Preferences you’ve changed, 3rd party plug-ins deactivation, system maintenance, cleaning caches, font validation, etc.)

  • How does scaling work under Windows 7 with the new MBP with retina display?

    After installing Windows in a boot camp partition on the new MacBook Pro, how does scaling work compared to OS X? Does Windows know to have several pixels imitate a single pixel like in OS X when running in 1440 x 900, or is there no scaling effect available?

    I suggest reading the following article that was published yesterday...

  • What discs come with the current (Santa Rosa) macbook pros?

    I own a Rev1 Macbook Pro (but that's not really important). I convinced my friend to get a new Macbook Pro. She loves it. But she did something somewhat silly. She asked me what the discs were for that were included in her box and I told her they are only to reinstall the included software. Anyway, she was looking for Comic Life and she concluded it must be on the cds, so she ended up reinstalling Mac OS X! But now the installer is asking for Disc 2 which she can't seem to find...
    Now it was my understanding that the OS came on 1 dvd, not two. There are additional parts on another disc for things like Xcode and whatnot, but the main installer should only need 1 disc, correct? Does anyone happen to recall where the second disc is found? I seem to believe it's actually in the same sleve as disc one but she says it isn't.
    So yeah maybe the packaging has changed or maybe my memory isn't that great. Any suggestions?
    Thanks!

    I own a Rev1 Macbook Pro *but that's not really important*.
    It may be important, if she asks to borrow your DVDs. The OS X Install DVDs for the Intel Macs are machine- and build-specific. So your Install DVDs for a pre-Santa Rosa MBP will most likely not work on an SR machine.
    However, if she's missing disc(s) she can call AppleCare and they will send her replacement(s) for a nominal charge (something like $30, I think).
    You might also point her to this link:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301229
    which describes how to do a custom installation. For apps, etc., not listed there, she could use Pacifist:
    http://www.charlessoft.com/
    to extract them from the Install DVDs.
    Hope this helps...
    Ps. the iLife suite that was pre-installed on the Mac is located on Install DVD 2.

  • Merge to HDR Pro does not work in Photoshop 14.2.1. Image appears black. What is the problem?

    Merge to HDR Pro does not work in Photoshop 14.2.1. Image appears black. What is the problem?

    Attached is screen shot. What happens is I go to File/Automate/Merge to HDR Pro, then select my 3 images, which are flattened psd files (I have tried tifs and jogs too), hit OK, it processes them, but instead of the image appearing, I get this black image. You can see my original images at bottom... jpegs too),

    When I try to play a dvd on my Macbook Pro I get a box with the message " This is only for activated users. To activate go to preferences,donate" this takes me to Mr. Gecko's facebook page asking me to donate $1.99-$4.99.
    Any clues on what this is, and/or how to bypass it? If I can report this to someone? Thanks

    Sure sounds like malware, unles you installed something from a questionable site, then it's still malware but in a payware form as playing DVDs is free on Mac's.
    Unless the DVD has software on it perhaps?
    Does this work on any movie DVD or is this a special kind of DVD with software on it from someplace?

    In my opinion LabVIEW would be up to the task. However on important thing to note is that you can write inefficient code in any language. I would venture to guess that if you wrote the C++ code (sounds like you don't have much experience in that arena) there would be more risk of writing inefficient code than in a language you have experience with. In addition, LabVIEW makes it easy to support parallel processing which can improve your performance. Parallel programming in C++ is non-trivial. LabVIEW is a fully compiled language and doesn't suffer from performance hits you get from interpretive script languages.
    BTW, the problem you described doesn't sound very taxing on a well written LabVIEW application.
    You may want to look at some of the videos of the demos from this year's NI Week. There were some extremely powerful applications that very doing some very heavy duty number cruntching and data acquision.

  • While updating my ipad to new software through itunes it got stuck and does not work anymore - it just displays the screen with symbols of itunes and the cable to connect to it - help - what should i do?

    while updating my ipad to new software through itunes it got stuck and does not work anymore - it just displays the screen with symbols of itunes and the cable to connect to it - help - what should i do?

    Disconnect the iPad, do a Reset [Hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons down together for 10 seconds or so (until the Apple logo appears) and then release. The screen will go blank and then power ON again in the normal way.] It is 'appsolutely' safe!, reconnect and follow the prompts.
    If that does not work then see here http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808

    You don't. Since you have an Intel Mac, buy a Mac OS X 10.6 DVD from the online Apple Store.

    After the Apple logo appears, what happens then? Can you hear any sounds or if you tap on the screen, does it seem like apps can open or are you just seeing a black screen? You might have a hardware problem, but you can try restoring the software and see what happens.

    My MacBook Pro Core Duo from 2006 shuts down randomly requiring frequent reboots to the point I had to abandon doing any project or anything on this MacBook Pro. Same thing occurs with the iMac dual core from 2007. MacBook battery replaced. Is it internal battery for both, new logic board required, bad hard drive, or bad RAM?
    Help.

    Run an Apple Hardware Test using the original installation disk that has the AHT instructions on it.
    Try SMC and PRAM resets:

    Hello,
    I fear it's a challenge for Adobe's Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool. Sometimes - for whatever reasons - CC (together with the Apps) doesn't "want" to work. In this case you should CC completely delete and reinstall by help of Adobe Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool. (A try to uninstall by own resources is not enough!)
    I quote: ... helps resolve installation problems for Adobe Creative Cloud and Adobe Creative Suite (CS3-CS6) applications. The tool removes installation records for prerelease installations of Creative Cloud or Creative Suite applications. It does not affect existing installations of previous versions of Creative Cloud or Creative Suite applications.
    Please use: http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs5-cleaner-tool-installation-problems.html  and follow the prescribed sequence of operations
    If necessary and for further questions and if "open" please use chat, I had the best experiences.

  • My hue/saturation filter quits working in Photoshop CS3

    I keep having this issue where my hue/saturation filter just quits working.  I use that filter religiously so it has to be fixed each time it occurs.  I've only had the Adobe CS3 for 3 months and I've had to resolve this 3 times now.  Each time this has happend I've had to uninstall the entire CS3 design package and do a complete reinstall which takes almost 4 hours because my download uses the Adobe server.  My product download was purchased online so I do not have a disk but rather files that I downloaded from Adobe with product serial numbers.
    I've used Adobe for years, as far back as Adobe 5, and never had such a problem!  I've checked in my preferences and have ample RAM available for the settings.  I use Dell inspirion and have 2 GB of RAM total on my system.
    Can someone please advise why this would keep happening.
    Thank you very much.

    Resetting your preferences is much faster than uninstalling/reinstalling, so if you haven't tried it, that would be what to do next, although it would be nice to figure out what the issue is.
    To reset your preferences hold the Ctrl-Alt-Shift keys down (windows) or Ctrl-Option-Shift keys down (mac) as you start up Photoshop.  You should get a message confirming whether you want to delete the preferences file.  If resetting preferences fixes things, then you should try to remember what you've been doing, just prior to having the problem.
    Once Hue/Sat sliders seem to be disabled, are they still way for all images that you open (a JPG for example), or are they just messed up for one image, but you need to work on that image so you have to fix things before doing anything else?  Hue/Sat is not a valid operation for certain modes, like Grayscale, although the menu item is disabled in this case.

    Subject: Re: My hue/saturation filter quits working in Photoshop CS3
    The hue/saturation filter window does open and it is not grayed out.  However, it does not allow me to do any thing to it.  I try to slide the saturation to the left or right and it does not move.  The same goes for the "Lightness" and "Hue".  I don't understand why it will work for a month or so and then just quit.  I end up rebooting my system to try and resolve but unfortunately once this occurs it seems to be stuck no matter what I do, that is until I unstall the entire program and reinstall...
    So if I need to change something in my preferences, what do you suggest that would be?  I appreciate your help, thank you.

  • How do you select special media tray from Adobe Photoshop CS3 on the Mac?

    I can select the special media tray (HP Photosmart Pro 9180) from Word for Mac and Illustrator CS3 for the Mac, but I don't know how to select it from Photoshop CS3 for the Mac.

    rebel1568,
    All Photoshop versions through CS6 came with platform-specific licenses, either Windows or PC.  You could get a cross-grade of platform swap at a nominal cost but not for older versions, only for whatever Photoshop versions was current at the time.
    CS3 is totally out of the upgrade or cross-grade loop.  You'd have to buy a new license for CS6 Mac or subscribe to Photoshop CC, as Trevor points out.
    Curt Y is correct in that CS2 will not run on current Mac-Intel machines.  You would need a used Mac G5 or G4 with a PowerPC (IBM) CPU, which have been obsolete since mid 2006.
    Of course, you could run your Windows  on your Mac if you installed and ran BootCamp or Parallells.
