Hardware best suited (Windows) to run Photoshop?

I am looking at upgrading my system to run Photoshop/Lightroom. I was looking at a AMD system with an FX-6300 processor (8 cores), 12gb of memory and the R9 255 graphics card w/ 2mb of dedicated memory. Will this system run those programs quickly and efficiently? I may add a small SSD drive to run the program with the main 2 TB harddrive to store files.

I don't think you have to buy all at once. Start off with the motherboard and add ram and SSDs as you see fit.
For example, instead of 64 GB, start start at 16, see if that's enough, add as needed.
Same for SSDs. Maybe two instead of four.
Look at his video card link. There are less expensive models. You can buy one that is a better fit.
With John Nack's paper, perhaps the high end for 2012 is more the standard now, affordable and better suited to your needs.
Think of these as suggestions and ask around. I use laptops myself, so I'm not the best at desktop recommendations.

Best MacPro configuration to run Photoshop CC

I am planning to buy the fastest MacPro possible to run Photoshop CC. I have a photography studio and have to process large files, some as large as 1 TB.
Money is not an issue here!!
I would like to configure the fastest MacPro as long as Photoshop can take advantage of its features and configuration.
Does 4 Core vs. 6 Core makes that much difference?
What about the video cards?
I know I will be putting all the RAM possible as well as an SSD HD.
Please, any advice would be greatly appreciated,
Thanks,

For Photoshop, the best... does Adobe use more than 6 or 8-cores? likely not.
Does it work well with AMD D700s? not as well as with GTX 980.
The Classic Mac Pro (pre-2013 6,1) might really be the ideal.
6- or 12-core 3.4GHz

OEM Apple/Samsung 1TB SSD blade on PCIe adapter (pass thru slot adapter, not controller).
Very similar to the XP941 or SM951/953

Will Windows 7 run Photoshop CS2?

Will a new laptop running Windows 7 be able to run Photoshop CS2?
Mary Lou

In a nutshell, with User Account Control enabled, Windows Vista and newer try to run your programs as though you're a non-privileged user, even if your account is a privileged Administrator of the computer (most people set themselves up as Administrator). UAC also redirects accesses to certain parts of the file system to other places, and this is what can interfere with the operation of Photoshop.
The idea is that if you inadvertently run malware, it has less chance to wreck your system if you're running it in a non-privileged manner.
If you're confident your good computing practices and anti-malware software are protecting you from malware infections, then you can disable UAC and Windows will run pretty much as it did back in the day (of XP). With UAC disabled (set to the lowest setting), if you're a privileged user all the software you run will have full privileges, and no file accesses will be redirected.
It may be that you can temporarily disable UAC while installing Photoshop CS2, then reset it back to default levels. I haven't tried that but it has a chance of working.
To disable UAC, do this:
1. Click Start, then type UAC into the search box (don't hit Enter).
2. When Change User Account Control Settings comes up, click it.
3. Drag the slider to the bottom ("Never notify").
Some light reading: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_Account_Control
It's worth taking the time to understand what UAC does, then you'll fully understand the risks you're taking (or not taking) by changing the settings.

Error with Hardware Diagnostic Suite 3.6.1

Hi
When I try and run hardware diagnostici suite on an agent I get the error mesage:
"Please make sure the Hardware Diagnostic Suite server is running on the Sun Management Center server machine."
I don't know how to do this despite a trawl through all available documentation.
Any help gratefully appreciated. Thanks.

1. Make sure you have the ASM addon installed and up and running (using ps -eaf | grep HWDS) on the server host
2. Make sure you have the correct config reader installed on the agent host.
3. Make sure you have the ASM addon installed on the console node where you are trying to access the server from
4. Make sure the edagent is up and running on the agent host on which you are trying to invoke hardware diagnostics (ps -eaf | grep ed).
Once all the above are OK., I think you will start seeing better results.
Additionally, there are log files present under /var/opt/SUNWhwdiag on the server/agent node for better debugging

Running Photoshop CS 6 on my Windows 7 desktop and now I just purchased a Mac Pro laptop

I just purchased
a Mac Pro laptop and would like to run Photoshop CS 6
I currently am using my desktop which is Windows 7 what is the best way to purchase a license for my laptop

Photoshop CS6's perpetual license does not allow you to run on both operating systems.
You could subscribe to this, which DOES support your running the software on both platforms:

Is anyone running Photoshop CS6 on a Windows Vista 32 bit machine without problems

Is anyone running Photoshop CS6 on a Windows Vista 32 bit machine without problems? I have over 400 GB,s free disc space (c drive) and still am getting lots of errors and program closing problems. I do not have USB3 on my machine so if I purchased a few 256 GB ssd drives would this help it from crashing?
Thank you in advance for any guidance.

Jack, as Curt has suggested, available drive space comes well down the list regards a happy experience with Photoshop. You have also asked a self-defeating question, because the fact you are running Vista, and a 32bit version at that, more or less precludes the ability to run without problems.
Windows 7 was billed as the first MS OS to need less system resources than its predecessor. If your system hardware will support 64bit, then consider paying $90 for an OS upgrade What is your system out of interest? I have a feeling you are running with just 2Gb RAM, which just isn’t enough. Post your specs or make and model, and I am sure you’ll get some help with what your mainboard will handle by way of RAM and whether it will support 64bit.

I am running Photoshop CC 2014 on Windows 8.1 with an AMD quad core processor and AMD E1-2100 APU with AMD Radeon HD 8210 Graphics Card. I have installed the latest driver version 13.152.0.0. When I activate puppet warp, the mesh appears over the image and I can place the first pin. However, when I go to add the second pin, Photoshop crashes. I have tried with on a new, blank file, with just a few lines on it, but, as soon as I place the first pin, the image disappears, and then, as soon as I click anywhere else in the image, Photoshop crashes. I have followed all the online advice about settings under the Preferences/Performance interface, but nothing fixes the problem. Can anyone please help?

BOILERPLATE TEXT:
If you give complete and detailed information about your setup and the issue at hand, such as your platform (Mac or Win), exact versions of your OS, of Photoshop and of Bridge, machine specs, such as total installed RAM, scratch file HDs, video card specs, what troubleshooting steps you have taken so far, what error message(s) you receive, if having issues opening raw files also the exact camera make and model that generated them, etc., someone may be able to help you.

I am running Photoshop CC on a Windows 7 Toshiba PC and my text will not appear on the background when I type it.

I am running Photoshop CC on a Toshiba laptop running Windows 7. When ever I try to type text on a background image, the words don't appear. NOW...I had been using it for two or three weeks with no problems whatsoever...but then about 5 days ago, it just quit working. What I type shows up on a the layer pallet on a tab in the lower left corner of the screen, but it just won't show up on the graphic. HELP!!! I'm about ready to cancel my monthly subscription to Photoshop!! I tried to reset my text "T" in the upper right corner, but I think I made things worse.
Can I delete the program from my computer and REdownload it??? I've got things I've GOT to get done and I'm dead in the damn water and I can't seem to get any help. I will tell you up front, I am NOT a computer genius, so any help will be GREATLY appreciated and if you could put it into step by step parts that would GREATLY help me. I appreciate it.

Thanks for the screenshot. You do not have to get rid of CC 2014.

@I run a Windows 8.1 - Photoshop CS5 under Parallels on an iMac one year old and both having the latest OS. I use a NIK plugin "VIVEZA" which run fine for years without a problem. Latelt and without a reason, the NIK plugin has gone corrupt, (can not use it more the 2 corrections after a get a black background message that there is not enough memory) and the system stops running and a must restart is required. How do I fix this terrible problem?
If it requires a Photoshop CS5 re-install, (I belief that it may fix the problem) and re-install the two third party plugins (NIK Viveza) and (Onone Perfect Resize) how and where do I get to the proper Adobe upload page to do that.
I have tried to fix this problem by changing the memory allocations, I have spend many hours on it and are very disgusted with it but it needs to be fixed. The current memory settings are;
Ram available = 1588 MB
Range = 873 -1143 MB
Recommended Photoshop usage range = 857 however I have tried every setting to max and in between. Nothing works. Current setting = 1588 (max)
The Photoshop I use is registered, I have product # and order # .

Contact NIK for updated/upgraded versions of their plug-ins. They have been having a lot of issues with their plug-ins.

That camera model has been supported since ACR 8.3 and it is most certainly supported by ACR 8.6 and ACR 8.7 (beta).
Either you have damaged, corrupt image files, or a faulty Photoshop and/or ACR installation.
If there are no privacy issues, you can post one of your files to the FTP service of your choice (such as Dropbox or yousendit.com), post the link to it, and someone here can take a look at it for you.
