Is Adobe Photoshop right for me? Need help please!

Model: Presario CQ57 Notebook PC
Process: AMD C-50 Processor
Installed: memory (RAM): 2.00 GB (1.60 GB usable)
System type: 64 bit operating system
It says 180 GB free on boot drive which I know is discouraged to be using the boot C drive but I don't understand why photoshop will not work if I have freakin 180 GB available but, then again I'm not a techie. I also have 1.60 GB on D drive but both are not enough as I can barely do a single function without a loading screen coming up for 5 minutes. If anyone could help me out that would be so great. If you even know about other programs that could do something like create a professional looking header to upload to a website that is also greatly appreciated. I seriously only got creative cloud for photoshop for creating website headers and it has turned out to be the biggest pain in my butt since becoming an internet entrepreneur.
Sincerely,
an EXTREMELY frustrated photoshop user

The notebook seems to be underpowered for running Photoshop.
If it's simply web banners you want, try using Fireworks, a dedicated web graphics app (also part of the Cloud).

Custom ALERT TONE for iphone need HELP please.

I understand how to create a custom TONE as an M4R file and import into itunes into the TONES library.
When i sync my TONES to my iPhone, it lists as a RING tone.
My custom ring tones, which are approximately 10 sec long work just fine when set as my RING tone for incoming calls.
HOWEVER ....
What i am DESPERATELY trying to do is create a custom ALERT tone and have it LIST as an ALERT tone in my phone and NOT a ring tone. Seems custom tones do not work for sms alerts.
I searched EVERYWHERE and can not seem to find an answer. I realize apple wants us all to BUY alert tones, but i should be able to create my own too no?
I created some custom alert tones, approximately 1 sec long each. Converted them to M4R files and sync'd them to my phone.
In my phone they appear under the RING TONES list and not ALERT TONES.
Maybe this dosent matter, however, when i try to set my TEXT ALERT SOUND to one of my custom ALERT tones, they do NOT work. My text messages come in without playing the sound.
Can ANYONE PLEASE HELP ME figure out how to properly create a TONE as an ALERT TONE for my iphone?
HUGE THANKS to ANYONE that can help.

I've never been able to assign custom tones under alerts. It doesn't matter though as you can assign ringtones as alerts as of iOS 5 I believe. I had a similar issue with silent alerts, sometimes they would play, other times theywouldn't, but they would always play when selecting them under settings. Resetting all settings (not content) has so far fixed that issue for me. Try resetting your settings after you've synced your tones.

Text blocked out with adobe reader 9.20. Need help PLEASE!?!

Whenever I open a PDF much of the text is blocked out. Can anyone please help?

Can you describe what you mean by "blocked out"? Is it a gray box where the text should be or is it something else? If it IS a gray box, are you sure it is text and not an image? Does it happen with a few particular PDF's or does it happen in all of them?

This answer may be somewhat late, but just in case other have the same issues, I went to site listed below and it solved the problem. No need to reinstall CS5 product. I hope this works for you.

What Photoshop version or Product is right for my needs.

I run a Non-Profit organization, we started as a Off-Road Club, that wanted to start doing charity events and Off-Road type search and rescue. Basically we do events that take people into the middle of nowhere and teach safety and survival tips and training, and we do charity type events for taking challenged or under-privileged family and people out to teach off-roading and or camping also.
One of the biggest things we do is search and rescue in areas that normal rescue and law enforcement teams and vehicles cant access due to terrain and conditions like weather or no roads, most of us run highly modified 4x4 vehicles that can access any area, no matter the conditions or weather, a lot of the work relates to helping stranded people, hunters, hikers, campers, or people that try and take a stock luxury Suv on roads that they don't belong on in that type of vehicle, or during tornados, blizzards, or floods in Northern Wisconsin and Upper peninsula Michigan. What I would need the software for as the president and owner, is for photo evidence of conditions during rescues, and photos of rescues, and photos of charity events, I also make up mail-out bulletins to get new members and or volunteers, also packets with photos are used for getting supporters and donations.
So I don't need professional editing of photos, but I do need editing that looks good and makes us look professional, I do know my way around a computer, but I am not a expert.
So my questions stands with asking, what Photoshop software is right for my needs, because I don't want to spend money on software I don't need???
Any help would greatly be appreciated.

I recommend Photoshop Elements, as that is designed for beginners and hobbiest in mind. In a sense, it holds your hand until you feel comfortable. I don't use that app, so I can not say on how much it holds your hand. I can only resite, what I have read.
That being said, I also do not know how much vector tools are in that app. Vector tool will help tremendously as they can make quick work out of doing flow chart type graphics, as in outline of bodies, arrows pointing to the location, lines showing paths or roads, and other hand made graphics that describe the area.
The reason for vector graphics, is they are scalable and do not take up as much ram or drive space. Don't get me wrong, raster tools (paint type tools) can be useful in doing the same thing, but they are a bit harder to alter, scale(especially larger), etc.
Therefore, Elements is great for learning, but professionally, Photoshop, illustrator and lightroom. So keep that in mind, when the time comes.

I am with a university and i purchased the adobe photoshop elements for a faculty member of mine, how can he download it when it is in my name but he is the one needing it?

There is nothing to prevent him from downloading and installing the trial version (Adobe - Download free trial version Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 | Adobe). At the point all you need to do is provide him with the serial number so that he can activate it. If the intent is that he be the owner of the software then you might want to see about transfering the license...

Can I open a CS6 Photoshop file in Adobe Photoshop Touch for Phone?

I am trying to rountrip a ps file to/from Adobe Photoshop Touch for Phone to/from CS6 Photoshop on a mac. Is it possible? It seems (so far) I can create a .psdx on the phone and edit on my desktop, but once editing in CS6 PS, I can't get that file back on the phone for editing. Any ideas... or is it a one way street from phone to desktop right now? thx!!!

Hi there,
In general, the .psd format is fairly backwards compatible. To help get your files ready to be opened in CS3, follow this process:
1) Go to Photoshop > Preferences > File Handling.
2) In the menu, make sure Maximize PSD and PSB File Compatibility is set to always.
Just in case, you may also want to save your file as a .TIFF, which is a format that will also preserve your layers and is able to be opened in older versions.
Please let us know if you need any more information, and good luck with your project!

Is Captivate / E-learning suite right for my needs?

Is Captivate / E-learning suite right for my needs?
Having been on hold for over 90 minutes to Adobe yesterday, and searching Adobe.com and You tube for info I am throwing my request for information at your collective feet.
The organisation I work for needs to deliver some e-learning modules, these are informing on non-software based actions and information.
We have had modules professionally designed for us in the past (almost certainly in DW or flash) – the number that we need for the next 12 months has grown, although each individual module is smaller – so professional design is less attractive due to minimum costs per module.
Content at the moment is delivered as a page or frame of text, with still pictures, video, and audio content. Roll over information, and links through to supporting documents and web sites. The user then clicks on through the pages as they demand. Finishing with a quiz and a certificate of pass mark.
The core of any information I have found about Captivate 4 represents it primarily as screen recorder. I need to build a module outside of screen recordings.
Is captivate the product to do what I need?
I can’t find any in-depth information beyond “it’s a great screen recorder and software demo tool”.
There doesn’t seem to be any supporting documents, books, videos that could be used as a platform for training users how to work with Captivate 4 – and I can find no face to face trainers in Australia.
If anyone to shed some light on what captivate is capable of doing beyond screen recording, and if there is any training available online / from books / or face to face in Australia I would be very happy to hear from them.
The available delivery formats that Captivate can output would be very helpful too – as a government organisation we have a limited amount of software / updates we must work with.
Many Thanks
Gav

Hi there
Iconlogic is one of many companies providing Adobe Certified Captivate instruction. Many companies are using the curriculum they wrote. Note that their curriculum is designed for two uses. Learn it on your own with no instructor present and as a companion for an Instructor Led class.

I recently did a system update and installed Yosemite on my Mac. Now I am unable to open CS5 at all. The error message I get is this: "To open Adobe Photoshop CS5.1, you need to install legacy Java SE 6 runtime." I have tried downloading this and it still gives me the same mess

In the details it is mentioned that it is an outdated version of Java.
Is this a security risk that i need to live with to get CS5 to run with Yosemite?
Also i need to reject messages from Java in the future about updates, or not?
thx for any input

well i have to be honest, but i don't know if it the vista you use has any significance for this. but you can try.
okay follow:
1: click "start" on the status line on the buttom of your screen.
2: then click on "all Programs" and find "Accessories" and find the "command prompt"
3: Right click with your mouse "command prompt" and click on "run as administrator"
(as you has click'd on "run as administrator", "command prompt" should appear.)
4: when it appears you need to type this "netsh windsock reset"
5: wait for your computer to registrer the command you gave it, and restart your computer.
then erverything should be pretty much as good or better then new.

I log out of my iTunes account and log in with hers and those updates show up.

Hi, I have been using CS5 for a while now, but had to wipe my computer clean last night and now am unable to re-install my adobe on the same computer. Help please.

Hi, I have been using CS5 for a while now, but had to wipe my computer clean last night and now am unable to re-install my adobe on the same computer. Help please.

Can you describe more about what you summarize as "unable to re-install my adobe on the same computer." ? What actions do you take and what results? What messages do you get? Are you able to install it on a different computer?
Since you use the word "same", it might be a case that you do have another machine that the install is functional on. If so, or even if you installed a couple of times on the same machine, it might be a case where your activation allowance has been used up and you need to have them reset. If you contact Adobe Support thru chat you can ask them to reset your activations so that you have the two allotted to you available again.
For the link below click the Still Need Help? option in the blue area at the bottom and choose the chat option...

Which buyTech download is the correct one for Adobe Photoshop CS6 for MacIntosh?

Just ordered the online download of Adobe Photoshop CS6 for Mac and the list of possible downloads does not specifically say CS6 for Mac. Help!

They say you should get a email with the serial number and download instructions after purchase.
Your email should specify Mac and the download would be a .dmg file.
We are basically a user group and have no connection with this company, you have to contact them.
