GPU acceleration disabled after loading image

I recently purchased Photoshop CS6. I've installed on Windows 7 and run updates. I've also today updated my graphics drivers to latest version (catalyst 12.8). I have an AMD Radeon HD 7700 which has 1024MB RAM. This card is on the list of supported cards.
When I first load Photoshop I can look in "Preferences -> Performance" and see that the GPU has been detected correctly and 'Use Graphics Processor' is ticked.
However after loading any image, including using "File -> New" to open an blank white image, the GPU is disabled. Looking back in "Preferences -> Performance" it tells me:
"no gpu options available with photoshop standard"
What can I do about this?

I have notified AMD.  It wouldn't hurt for you to do so as well - the more people who report problems with using Photoshop to them the more likely they are to take Photoshop users seriously, rather than just worrying about gamers.

    # in this array. For instance:
    # MODULES="piix ide_disk reiserfs"
    MODULES=""
    # BINARIES
    # This setting includes any additional binaries a given user may
    # wish into the CPIO image. This is run last, so it may be used to
    # override the actual binaries included by a given hook
    # BINARIES are dependency parsed, so you may safely ignore libraries
    BINARIES=""
    # FILES
    # This setting is similar to BINARIES above, however, files are added
    # as-is and are not parsed in any way. This is useful for config files.
    # Some users may wish to include modprobe.conf for custom module options
    # like so:

    # HOOKS
    # This is the most important setting in this file. The HOOKS control the
    # modules and scripts added to the image, and what happens at boot time.
    # Order is important, and it is recommended that you do not change the
    # order in which HOOKS are added. Run 'mkinitcpio -H <hook name>' for
    # help on a given hook.
    # 'base' is _required_ unless you know precisely what you are doing.

  • Missing Renderer - GPU Acceleration Disabled

    Hi.
    I've been having a problem with premiere lately. When I create new project, the render settings are set for CUDA GPU acceleration. I have no issues while editing the project or when rendering preview files. However, once I save the project, quit premiere, and then later re-open the project, I am presented with the dialog "Missing Renderer" - "This project was last used with Mercury Playback Engine GPU Acceleration, CUDA, which is either not available, or not certified on this system. Mercury Playback Engine Software Only will be used."
    After this message, my timeline opens completely unrendered. I've attempted to change the project setting and reselect GPU Acceleration as the renderer, but the dropdown box is disabled in the project settings menu.
    Can anyone help me with this issue?
    Computer Specs:
    Intel Core i7-3537U
    8GB RAM
    NVIDIA GeForce 710M with 1GB Dedicated RAM
    Any help is appreciated.
    Thanks.

    Do you have dual graphics adapters?
    Go to the Windows Control Panel and select Hardware and Sound and then select Device Manager... In Device manager you click the + sign to the left of Display Adapters... and see if 2 are listed

  • How to delete a jar file after loading image files from it

    Hi,
    How can I delete a jar file after some image files have been loaded? For example, say, I have "a.jar" which contains an image "a.gif" in the root directory of the c drive. I would like to get the image size and then delete the jar file. Here is the code snippet:
        URL url = new URL("jar:file:/C:\\a.jar!/a.gif");
        Icon icon = new ImageIcon(url);
        System.out.println("icon size ? " + icon.getIconHeight());
        File file = new File("c:\\a.jar");
        while(file.exists())
            file.delete();
            try
                Thread.sleep(100);
            catch (InterruptedException ignored)
        System.out.println("file deleted.");I get the image size correctly but just can not delete the jar file. Apparently the file handle is not released, but how to close it? Any hint will be appreciated.
    Justin Jan

    I am sure the URLConnection.defaultUseCaches is set before it is connected otherwise I should catch an IllegalStateException on conn.setUseCaches(false).
            try
                URL url = new URL("jar:file:/C:\\a.jar!/a.gif");           
             URLConnection conn = url.openConnection();
               conn.setDefaultUseCaches(false);
             conn.setUseCaches(false);
                Icon icon = new ImageIcon(url);
                System.out.println("icon size ? " + icon.getIconHeight());
                url.openConnection().getInputStream().close();
                System.gc();
             System.runFinalization();
                File file = new File("c:\\a.jar");
                while (file.exists())
                    file.delete();
                    try
                        Thread.sleep(10);
                    catch (InterruptedException ignored)
                System.out.println("file deleted.");

  • GPU Acceleration disabled even with latest drivers

    I´m trying to enable GPU acceleration, but even with the latest drivers it wont enable.
    Note that this is with AMDs Legacy driver for Windows 8 x64. The card is a 4870x2.
    Firefox wants a higher driver number then 12.8 but in CCC it states that my driver version is 13.1.

    hello, there seems to be a different technical driver naming scheme by amd for radeon HD 2/3/4000 series graphic cards (their latest driver version is 13.1 which translates to the technical version 8.97.100.7) & hd 5/6/700 cards (13.4, which translates to 12.104.0.0).
    due to crashes triggered by older driver versions firefox is blocking all cards below version 9.10.8.0 for HWA - i don't think it is possible to differentiate these blocks for certain card models (since there are too many of them)...
    you could try to circumvent the blocklisting like it is described at https://wiki.mozilla.org/Blocklisting/Blocked_Graphics_Drivers#How_to_force-enable_blocked_graphics_features though.

  • Wi-fi disabled after loading ios6

    After loading ios 6, wi-fi symbol turned grey! can not open it. I have also known many people who they are living same problem with ios6.
    I would like to return old hardware if this solve my problem. Please help!

    Cold shut down as defiined as clicking on 'Apple' and clicking shut down'. Then wait some time on click on the power button. Defined back since the 1980's.
    The wi-fi icon is there, but the icon on the menu bar is empty inverted triangle. You can try and click on it, but the only choice is turn on, which of course does nothing. The other choice is clicking on 'open network preferences'. From here I have tried everything and diagostics does noting without wi-fi enaled. It scan and scans and does nothing.
    Evrything works pefectly on the computer, besides just this annoying problem.

  • Media Encoder CC not using GPU acceleration for After Effects CC raytrace comp

    I created a simple scene in After Effects that's using the raytracer engine... I also have GPU enabled in the raytracer settings for After Effects.
    When I render the scene in After Effects using the built-in Render Queue, it only takes 10 minutes to render the scene.
    But when I export the scene to Adobe Media Encoder, it indicates it will take 13 hours to render the same scene.
    So clearly After Effects is using GPU accelleration but for some reason Media Encoder is not.
    I should also point out that my GeForce GTX 660 Ti card isn't officially supported and I had to manually add it into the list of supported cards in:
    C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe After Effects CC\Support Files\raytracer_supported_cards.txt
    C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Media Encoder CC\cuda_supported_cards.txt
    While it's not officially supported, it's weird that After Effects has no problem with it yet Adobe Media Encoder does...
    I also updated After Effects to 12.1 and AME to 7.1 as well as set AME settings to use CUDA but it didn't make a difference.
    Any ideas?

    That is normal behavior.
    The "headless" version of After Effects that is called to render frames for Adobe Media Encoder (or for Premiere Pro) using Dynamic Link does not use the GPU for acceleration of the ray-traced 3D renderer.
    If you are rendering heavy compositions that require GPU processing and/or the Render Multiple Frames Simultaneously multiprocessing, then the recommended workflow is to render and export a losslessly encoded master file from After Effects and have Adobe Media Encoder pick that up from a watch folder to encode into your various delivery formats.

  • Can't update project-menus become disabled after disc image save

    I hope someone can help me understand if this is a bug or something I am doing wrong. I can never update a iDVD project with a new movie file, or change anything to the movie file (make it loop or stop looping). I have to create a new iDVD project anytime I want to make a change at all. If I change anything, once I save as disc image, the menu button becomes disabled and no longer works, even though the preview in the project window is fine.
    I tried to change the file to a looping movie in the map view, saved the disc image, menu became disabled.
    I am getting really frustrated because everytime I have to make a change I am starting all over creating a project from scratch yet again.
    Is this a bug?
    Thanks for input,
    Cheryl

    So here's the deal and I have done some surfing around these boards and have run across others that are encountering this same issue.
    I have been able to, in the past, create a menu which plays a slideshow which looped (from iMovie or not). Suddenly, I can no longer create a looping slideshow AT ALL in iDVD.
    I ran a test this morning where I deleted my .plist, restarted, then shared a .dv file from iMovieHD to iDVD6, created a simple menu with a "PLAY" button, saved as disc image, loaded up on my computer and it worked fine.
    THEN, I did the whole sequence of events again as above, but this time, set the movie to "LOOP" in the map view - WHAM the menu "PLAY" button no longer works when I load it on my computer. The menu comes up, as it should, but the PLAY button doesn't start the movie.
    I am now thinking this is a corruption in the software and I need to reinstall, why else would a feature suddenly STOP working???
    Thanks for any advice.

  • GTX 750, gpu acceleration not working

    It's no big loss.  No fooling.  Adobe is doing nothing more with CUDA.  It's kaput.  Using Cinema 4D Lite which comes with AE CC 2014 is much faster and more efficient.

  • Cannot enable Mercury Playback Engine GPU Acceleration

    Cannot enable Mercury Playback Engine GPU Acceleration. 
    Just bought a Asus GeForce GTX 560 Ti just so that I can use the graphics acceleration on Adobe Premiere Pro CS5. 
    Followed every step in most tutorials such as this great one http://vimeo.com/13440307 and yet the Mercury Playback Engine GPU Acceleration option is still faded out. 
    http://www.urbanistgame.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/Cuda-supported.gifAdded the last two lines as wasn't sure if it required "Ti" it only came up as "supported" in the cmd after the "Ti" so I'm guess that's what it required.  
    You can see in bold I've set the Multi-display/mixed-GPU acceleration option to "Compatibility performance mode"
       Splash screen confirms Version as 5.0.3 (update to enable Mercury Playback Engine GPU Acceleration).   
    After all that the "Video Rendering and Playback" option is still faded out. 
    Any ideas? System Information   
    List of installed Nvidia programs
    Hope someone can help.

    PROBLEM SOLVED.
    I reinstalled CS5 on the bookdisk and it worked fine. Spent 9 hours trying everything else its really was the only thing left and the last thing I wanted to do.
    Results:
    Rendering a 32min clip with Gaussian Blur effect
    Before CUDA it took 4 hours and hence my move to purchase a CUDA card.
    After CUDA 23mins! using Encoder
    Question:
    I noticed that the GPU is not stressing that much still. Only running at 30% activity???

  • Does GPU acceleration in Illustrator CC still work after disabling 'GPU Preview' and enabling 'CPU Preview' (on a workstation gpu)?

    I'm using a workstation graphics card that allows for GPU acceleration in Illustrator CC.
    Selecting 'GPU Preview' instead of 'CPU Preview' under the 'View' toolbar in Illustrator CC results in a more choppy experience.
    Which leads me to wonder:
    Does GPU acceleration in Illustrator CC still work after disabling 'GPU Preview' and enabling 'CPU Preview' (on a workstation gpu)?
    Does GPU acceleration for my gpu actually improve the performance for my work?

    If you disable the GPU acceleration in preferences then you'll be unable to enable GPU preview under the view menu. It will automatically go into CPU preview as the GPU is no longer enabled.
    If you're experiencing choppy performance when you do have the GPU preview selected, something is amiss because any GPU that can support GPU acceleration should be able to do it without a performance hit.
    What is the video card that's in the workstation?

  • Premiere CC 2014: Message on loading project from older version: This project was last used with Mercury Playback Engine GPU acceleration (CUDA)...

    After installing Adobe CC 2014 I have each time a message when loading an old Adobe pro project. Message:This project was last used with Mercury Playback Engine GPU acceleration (CUDA), which is either not available or not certified on this system. Mercury Playback software will be used. I have very recent HP Zbook 15 with a NVIDIA Quadro K2100M. At webinar today it was explained how to solve this, but sound was not understandable at my machine at that moment. Help? What need I to do.

    Problem is solved since yesterday via Adobe helpdesk. It appeared that the newest driver for the NVIDIA were note present. So after downloading the new drivers it work. But I think Adobe should mention those issues when they launch new versions of Adobe CC like in June.

  • GPU Acceleration in Chromium causes heavy system load

    I experience a heavy system load (especially if I'm watching videos or listening to music on soundcloud) if I use the hardware acceleration feature in Chromium.
    I use the standard linux kernel(not the lts one) and the drivers from the nvidia-package. I got a Nvidia GeForce GT 525M GPU.
    If I deactivate the hardware acceleration feature in chromium, it doesn't need so much system resources, but maybe there are more factors which cause the heavy system load.
    I'd like to be able to activate the feature, because otherwise I can't scroll through webpages smoothly.
    The same thing happens if I use the google-chrome package from the AUR.
    Has somebody experienced the same problem and/or has ideas how to solve it?

    Isn't HW acceleration disabled by default on Linux? AFAIR it always had a lot of problems.

    is there a reason this would be happening? i'm running the Nvidia 680M.

    I'm currently running 8.17.13.271. when i attempt to install the new driver (306.97) for the 680M i get 'could not find compatible hardware'
    The GPU seems to run fine when i don't enable GPU acceleration. after i enable GPU acceleration in the nvidia control panel i get major problems. computer crashes on boot on premiere and after effects. It takes me about 2 hours to get it to boot out of safe mode after it crashes.
