GPU support in PS CS6

Immediately after installation of PS CS6 the application correctly detected my grafics adapter AMD HD7750 and in the PS GPU settings the grafic processing unit support was activated.
Now this option is deactivated and cannot be activated any more. PS6 states that using this feature is not supported by the standard edition, what is surprising as I had installed the same edition on my notebook (with a AMD radeon HD7400M) and there it works fine, and initially it had worked on my PC, too.
On my PC the last action I can remember was to attach a second monitor to the DVI port of the onboard grafics card Intel HD4600. (my system has as well an Intel card onboard and an AMD Sapphire PCIe grafics card)
The windows primary desktop is assigned to the first monitor which is connected via DVI with the AMD HD7750 card.
Would you recommend to uninstall and reinstall PS CS6 on the PC or is another easier solution for this problem available ?
Thanks in advance !

It was helpful to read that the wording of the error message shown by Adobe PS is still not the best.
The problem I had could neither be resolved by downloading the latest AMD drivers and the latest Intel drivers.
Therefore I resolved the problem with change of hardware.
I deactivated the Intel onboard card and connected the second display with a new cable to the AMD Sapphire HDMI port.
Now both displays can be used and Adobe does no longer report a problem caused by a Intel HD4600 card existing in my system.
Therefor I close this question now.
Thank you all.

GPU in after effects cs6 on mac mountain lion with Intel HD 4000

Is its possible to enable GPU in after effects cs6 on mac mountain lion with Intel HD 4000?

No, OpenGL Swap Buffer support (Level 1) support for the HP4000 is for Windows only. Level 2 and 3 support is not available either. You'd need a more powerful NVIDIA card for Level 1, 2, and 3 feature support.

Nvidia Quadro FX 2700M not supported in AE CS6 ?

Why is the graphics card nvidia Quadro FX 2700M not supported in AE CS6 and PremierePro CS6?
This is a professional Quadro card and it has 48 Unified Shaders (Cuda Cores), supports OpenCL, DirectX 10.0, PhysX, DirectCompute 4.0 and ShaderModel 4.0 so the question to Adobe is why is it not supported?
The card has only 512MB video ram that could be the reason....
But I would love to get this card supported because it's a mobile card inside a Dell Precision M6400 Laptop and it's not possible to change the video card.
Are 512MB really not enough for PremierePro's Mercury engine and for AE CS6 Raytracer? Does these engines really need a minimum of 768MB to work?
Cheers, Felix

Hey Rick thanks for the tip - I altered the raytracer_supported_cards.txt and added the Quadro FX 2700M to the list.
GPU Support is working so far but I got some weird display behaviour and some serious AE crashes...
I think my first guessing was right that 512MB Video RAM are not enough because with low resolution composition (800x600px) it's working but with HD resolutions (1920x1080px) AE freaks out and crashes...
But hey it was worth a test...
So back to real work - who really needs these slow rendering simple extruded Shapes...

What Multiple GPU Support??

I just purchased a very pricey Mac Pro for my company, with the intention of utilizing it's dual GPUs & processing power for fast turnaround times on video projects. Turning on GPU acceleration in Premiere, however, essentially renders this machine useless. I can use Premiere (GPU acceleration on) with a single monitor, but as soon as I hook up a 2nd, I have no playback anywhere. No video signal from the program feed or the preview window. My question is, why has Adobe not provided multiple GPU support for a graphics card that currently ships in brand new Macs (ATI Radeon HD5770)? Side note, there are no driver updates for this GPU on the AMD website either. This is very frustrating and disappointing. Next logical question: How quickly will Adobe respond to this screw up?

I think some things need to be clarified here...

As far as waiting for a new Mac Pro you might not even get better performance than what would be possible on your current Mac Pro since the new one doesn't have NVIDIA cards and it hasn't been benchmarked.
You're right that they don't have nVidia chips in them, but it's very likely they'll perform quite well when compared to yesterday's Mac Pro. Specially since the rig has enough power available to drive two of them. Also, read my previous post: the IVB Xeons are nothing to sneeze at.
Personally, I prefer nVidia, and I also prefer not using Thunderbolt for storage. So a new Mac Pro isn't for me. But it may be others.
Alternatively you can keep one 5770 in one slot, sell the other and pick up a used Quadro 4000 for another slot on ebay for $200-$300.
Please, whatever you do, DON'T follow that suggestion. Q4Ks are turds, and hyper-expensive ones at that. Talk about WAY old technology.
Oh, and Jim: it's probably time to punt this to Hardware.

GPU support and Nvidia SLI

It would appear that even with Nvidia's new Vista drivers 178.24 (today Oct 15) you will only get GPU support if you turn off SLI. Seems like a waste of a second video card. Hopefully Nvidia will get this sorted in the next release.
My system:
Intel QX6888 (quad core)
3 GM RAM
2x GeForce 8800 GTX (normally in SLI)
Vista 32bit

Read the fineprint and don't listen to the marketing fluff. NVidia never has made any promises that it would double the available texture resolution nor double the number of polygons a 3D program could display or any other real feature relevant for the performance as perceived by the user. All it does is extend your desktop resolution or improve a few things on the texture filtering and antialiasing by providing different cooperative methods of the two GPU working on the same problem at once, but even a quad SLI can not override the rules of OpenGL or any other display API else for that matter. There is really very little measurable benefit to SLI in combination with professional apps, even for the always resource hungry CAD people, and I don't exactly call paying twice the money for a meagre 5 - 20% gain a good deal. This may be different for others, but point in case: SLI has no place with most current commercial mainstream apps and unless NVidia open up the API so others can really understand and use what SLI does, this will not change in the foreseeable future.

Photoshop CS4 - GPU support on standard ?

Does Photoshop CS4 standard benefit from the GPU support , OpenGL 2.0 ?

Not sure about the 8800 but my 8600GT with 512MB and the latest driver released by NVidia this month works really well. I found I need to leave the Harware Acceleration slider all the way to the right. Any setting less than the max caused some visual artifacts and double images to appear.

Scanner support in Photoshop CS6 Windows 64bit

Does CS6 restore the twain scanner function on Windows machines that was lost in CS5, or do I have to continue to keep CS4 on my desktop?
Thanks

The TWAIN support in Photoshop CS6 for Windows is exactly the same as it was in CS5 and earlier. You can download the TWAIN plugin from adobe.com, and install it in the 32-bit version of Photoshop. You will also need to install TWAIN drivers for your scanner by getting the appropriate software from the manufacturer's web site or installation disk. You will need to run the 32-bit version of Photoshop to use your scanner.
There is no 64-bit TWAIN support in Photoshop on Windows primarily because the TWAIN data source manager (DSM) that Microsoft ships with Windows is 32-bit only.
While it is possible for more technically experienced users to download and install a 64-bit compatible DSM to replace the Microsoft version (see twain.org), there are two problems: first, the Photoshop TWAIN plugin is 32-bit only, and will not work in the 64-bit version of Photoshop regardless. But even if it did, and you installed a 64-bit DSM, the second problem is that there are virtually no 64-bit compatible TWAIN scanner drivers (data sources) available from scanner manufacturers (it's a classic chicken & egg problem--there's litte demand for 64-bit data sources, so there are very few 64-bit data sources.)
Dedicated scanning applications like VueScan are popular among people who have more demanding needs for controlling the scanning process, or do a large volume of scanning. The WIA and TWAIN plugins for Photoshop are intended for more casual use, and may be preferable to the expense and overhead of a separate application.
Hope this helps,

How to: Enable CUDA GPU Support for "Unsupported Cards" in CS6 (same process as in CS5+) :) for MAC

Hi all, I previously was involved in some discussion regarding GPU acceleration with CUDA in Premier Pro CS5 using an 'Unsupported card' with my Macbook Pro... I would like to show you this still works and will be here to show the process for anyone, and will post a video of the whole thing as a step-by-step probably tomorrow (its quite late where i am just now) but I'll give you a quick run through just now... Proof at bottom of page...
Ps. This only applies to Nvidia card Macs.. I have no ATI card mac to try this out as OpenCL etc but i would imagine it would be a similar process...
Step 1... Install Cuda drivers for your Mac (im using 4.2.7) here   http://www.nvidia.com/object/mac-driver-archive.html
Step 2... Install GfxCardStatus and force your graphics (if using a laptop) to discrete card only   http://codykrieger.com/gfxCardStatus
Step 3... Open Terminal... and run GpuSniffer... path as follows for original default installation directory, copy and paste then hit enter or change as required
              /Applications/Adobe\ Premiere\ Pro\ CS6/Adobe\ Premiere\ Pro\ CS6.app/Contents/GPUSniffer.app/Contents/MacOS/GPUSniffer
This should give you an output as follows, while it may differ this is my output...

   Not chosen because it did not match the named list of cards
Step 4... Using the name of your card from the above output, i have it underlined, in my case a GeForce GT 330M, copy this exact name as we will now add it to the list of supported cards...
Step 5... Using terminal still, again assuming default install directories, copy and paste then hit enter on the following...
             sudo nano /Applications/Adobe\ Premiere\ Pro\ CS6/Adobe\ Premiere\ Pro\ CS6.app/Contents/cuda_supported_cards.txt
You will then be asked for your computer password, type it and hit enter, it will not be shown as you type FYI... You will then see the default supported cards, add your card by pasting the name you have as in Step 4, then use ctrl+x to escape, type Y to save and hit enter a couple of times to get out...
You should now be able to run Premier Pro CS6 using the CUDA GPU option you can select in Renderer as you start a new project!!
Any questions i will try to answer them as soon as possible, and as i said i'll screen capture and record a video tutorial as i know that would be of help to some of you out there.. Some proof, here is a pic...
PS. It is a full 1080 pic so it is quite large...

Photoshop CS6 GPU Support

The Photoshop CS6 GPU FAQ says the following nVidia GPUs are supported
nVidia GeForce 8000, 9000, 100, 200, 300, 400, 500 series
A new computer I am considering has a 600 series GPU. Does that mean PS CS6 won't support this new computer? Will the GPU Sniffer determine it's not a supported GPU and just not use it? Hard to believe the software won't use it.

It depends on what you use it for. HD video editing and large image files, or just run of the mill stuff. Do recommend 1 gig VRAM, but only need moderate priced card.
Here is a link for rating cards. A score of 1000 is great for almost anything. Over that you do not need unless a gamer.

How To Enable GPU Cuda in Adobe CS6 for Windows

I quote from Vimeo
A lot of folks were complaining about how most GPU accelerated graphics cards are not supported in Adobe's new Premiere Pro and After Effects CS6 applications.
Thankfully there is a simple and quick fix that allows you to enable your GPU videocard to be supported that makes the editing experience so much better.
I take six mintes to show you how to complete this on a Mac."
Here is the link https://vimeo.com/43420088
Can we do the same/similar for Windows based computers?
My video card is NVIDIA GeForce 9600 GT

After a little experimenting I have DONE IT !!!
In the folder "Program Files " "Adobe" "Premiere CS6" open the text file called cuda_supported_cards.txt.
Add your card to the list and hopefully it works.
Open a new session of Premiere, Goto "Project Settings" "General" and under Video Rendering and Playback "Mercury Playback Engine GPU Acceleration" should show as active.
Now I am going to tackle After Effects.

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680MX GPU support for the Mac

When are you going to support GPU for the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680MX on the Mac in the new After Effects CC?
Please also consider this a request as well.

> When do you think us ATi Radeon card users will get a versionof AE that will use our GPU
After Effects already uses ATI/AMD cards for GPU features, and has for years. The single exception is one feature: the GPU acceleration for the ray-traced 3D renderer.

PSD files aren't supported in Photoshop CS6?

Hi, I have Photoshop CS6 on my Macbook Pro OS X. But I can't open PSD files because I get the mention doesn't support it. Both Safari (gives me a gray screen) and Finder can not open it. Does anyone one know what I can do to solve this problem? I tried to find on the internet for an answer but couldn't find one that solves the solution.

Safari and finder are not suppose to be able to view the file. Safari is a web browser and therefore only supports web formats like jpg, png, and gif. Finder on the other hand I am not all that familiar with, however it should open the file in photoshop if it does not the its file association has been broken. The easiest was to fix it would be to reinstall photoshop. The biggest culprit for breaking the file association is uninstalling a previous version after the latest version was installed.
Finder may require a codec to view thumbnails of the psd format, I do not know if there is one. In windows Adobe does not provide one so It is probably a safe assumption there isn't one for the mac as well. Doing a google search may provide a 3rd party codec though.
Other than that I will need to let someone else that has a mac give you more help. Since I use windows only. Sorry about that.

RTL & Indian Language Support for Indesign CS6 Mac

Hi,
I am using Adobe Indesign CS6 Mac version and need support to using Arabic and Indian Language Support. I am not able to write this language. When I am pasting from Word or anywhere text is going cracked.
I also learn to enable language support from Character setting but I can't find Kashidas option on my Indesign.
It will be very helpful if some one support how to enable this option or download.
Best Regards,
Rakesh

That's because Larry is correct, and Ellis is correct about you needing to take Larry's advice if you don't have the World-Ready Composer in your menu. You need something like the World Tools plugin from InTools to access the complex-script tools not available in the menus in your install of CS6.
(Or you could employ Ellis' other suggestion and move to the Cloud. But World Tools is rather less expensive in the long term.)

GPU problem in Photoshop cs6

How change the GPU in Photoshop CS6? My photoshop only detect my intel GMA and my pc have one geforce 640m what can i do to change it?

PS will use the primary system GPU. You will have to change that in your system settings or BIOS/ EFI even.

Was AMD Radeon GPU compatibility removed in CS6?

I was wondering...
I checked out the AE CS6 trial and noticed that I cannot use my GPU whereas in CS5.5 I was able to.
I'm using an AMD Radeon HD 6950 2GB and CS6 tells me the GPU is either not available or has an incompatible device or display driver.
I've the latest drivers for my graphics card so I don't think it's the latter.
Was AMD Radeon GPU compatibility removed in favor of NVIDIA or is the whole OpenGL part of AE gone?

Raytracing is the only GPU related option I could find in the Previews part of the Preferences window, inside the "GPU Information" pop-up.
Also, in "Display", "Hardware Accelerate Composition, Layer, and Footage Panels" is greyed out, I can't tick/enable it.
The lightning bolt (Fast Previews) button doesn't show OpenGL related options either.
Running on Windows 7 64 bit.
