Laptop Requirnments for CS4 and Lightroom 3

I am currently looking for a lightweight laptop to take on a six week trip to India this winter. I have zeroed in on a Toshiba Portage R-700 Intel Core i3, 2.4GB processor with 4GB ram, 500 Gb HD and an a Mobile Intel HD integrated graphics card (weighs 3.2lbs!). I will use the laptop to store images and do some editing but I think I will do most of my editing on my desktop when I get home. Is this laptop powerful enough, especially with this grapic card, to work with CS4 or lightroom  COMFORTABLY editing and browsing images. Thanks for any info.

A seperate video card, 128 or 256 mg, may  be important.  Also a card that supports OpenGL Drawing to take advantage of some advanced features of CS4.
Integrated video, built into the mother board, used to borrow from system memory slowing everything down.  That may not be the case any more.  Just something to be aware of.

  • If I buy creative cloud for PS and Lightroom 5 for a mac can I also put it on a laptop for the price of $119 per year?

    one subscription entitles users to install and activate their adobe apps on up to two computers concurrently.
    so yes, you can subscribe to the photographer plan and use both ps and lr on a desktop and a laptop (or two desktops or two laptops).  they can both be macs or both be pcs or one of each.

    Hi I have been having a problem with Bridge in CS4 recently. So uninstalled CS4 and Lightroom 4.4 and reinstalled them on my Desktop PC. When I turned on Bridge through CS4, My thumb nail images disappeared and a thumb nail icon with CR2 appeared. Now some of my images have disappeared from Light room 4.4, but I can find them in CS4 and Bridge now shows some thumb nails as images and some as an icon with CR2. I have spent two weeks going through preferences etc. to find how to resolve my problem. Please can you Help? Meany thanks in advance

    I don't use LR and rarely use the bridge so I can not answers about thumbnails in them,  However thumbnails in windows file explorer and windows dialog for CS2 files will only show if you have installed codec into windows that will produce them. Windows does not do CR2 thumbnails on its own. I use FastPictureViewer Codec package for RAW File and PSD files thunbmail support.

  • Installing DNG converter in CS4 and Lightroom 2.o

    I am using Photoshop CS4 And Lightroom 2 on a windows 63bit platform. I have upgraded my camera to a Nikon 5200 and need to upgrade the camera raw file. I have downloaded camera raw 7.3 and it went through an install process for Light rpoom. However, Lightroom and photoshop still does not open the raw files from the new camera. What am I missing?

    CS4 and LR 2.x are not compatible with ACR 7.3. You will need to Upgrade to CS6 or LR 4 or both to use your camera's raw files.
    Or, you can download Adobe's Free DNG Converter and convert your NEF's to DNG files that are backwards compatible with all versions of Lightroom and PS back to CS2 (if memory serves).

  • Q. Does Photoshop CS4 and Lightroom 2 run safely on Snow Leopard?

    I have an iMac OS X v10.6.2 I use Photoshop CS2 but would like to upgrade to CS4 and Lightroom 2 however I continue to hear that there are numerous problems; crashes, etc. Is this still the case or have these problems been resolved?

    LR 2 seems fine on my imac - great in 64-bit mode.
    Photoshop CS4 has some serious issues for me — I've been shipping off 3-4 crash reports to Adobe and Apple +per day+. I'd recommend holing off until PS CS5 comes out, maybe in a few months. It should be 64-bit, so it can use more than 4GB of RAM. And PS CS5 will hopefully dedicate more than one processor core to saving files.
    If you just can't wait, you'll want to be running 10.6.2. There are some fixes to the OS resolving a font issue w/ Menlo and file saving issues with PS.

    Help please? My first time on this forum so apologies if I boob in some way!
    I have a monthly subscription for PS and Lightroom.
    When I opened Lightroom this morning, it told me an upgrade was available through CC. I probably did something wrong, butI couldn't get it to download.
    I came on the forum and read a couple of discussions on your pages and found a reply that posted links to the pages where Lightroom 5.7 could be downloaded.
    I clicked the link and downloaded the update fine.
    However, now when Lightroom opens, it is asking whether I want to BUY or have a free 30 day trial and won't progress any further into the app.
    My CC icon reveals that my software is up to date but I can't get past this register screen, without selecting BUY or FREE 30 TRIAL .
    can anyone help please?

  • Cloud package for Photoshop and Lightroom

    If I purchase the cloud package for Photoshop and Lightroom . Will I be able to continue using my previous version of Lightroom on the same computer?  I would like to have access to both the my previous one and new cloud Lightroom on one computer.  What happen to my Lightroom installed on my computer?

    HI LIsa,
    Yes you will be able to use the previous version on your computer. You can run both versions on the same machine. The previous version should not be affected
    Thanks

  • I purchased for my pc the monthly download for CC and Lightroom.The fee has been deducted from my bank account.  CC downloaded (but only as a 30 day trial), but Lightroom didn't.

    I purchased the monthly download offer for Photoshop and Lightroom  The first installment has been taken from my bank account, but no Lightroom has been downloaded.  I managed to get a 'free 30 day trial' for the photoshop!.  How do I contact Adobe about this.  Any help

    Thanks for replying. 
    To your question, yes I did follow the process listed in Install and Update apps.  I have a Creative Cloud ID. 
    I had previously trialled the Lightroom and thought that this was preventing Lightroom from downloading, so I uninstalled it, then tried again to download it.  I thought this was working, but at the end of the download, the message said that the trial had expired and I needed to buy.
    I also cannot understand why the CC has downloaded as a free 30 day trial instead of the year I signed up for..Hoping you can help.  Cheers 

  • Upgrades for CS6 and Lightroom 4 issues...

    I bought both upgrades for CS6 and Lightroom 4.  I downloaded the upgrades on my MAC desktop computer.  Everything was fine.  When I searched for them in applicatins, it showed both CS5 and CS6 and the same for Lightroom 3 and Lightroom 4.  Should I delete CS5 and Lightroom 3?  Thanks in advance. 

    Feel free to remove the older versions if you are reasonably sure you have migrated all your files and have no technical issues. Just make sure to run the proper uninstallers, not just trash the apps. Also be warned that you may need to reinstall LR4 and CS6 to fix broken file associations and shared components like Bridge...

    There are some printer drivers that do not work correctly with Apple's new printing path that PS and LR2 use. If you let us know what printers you are printing to we can probably tell you if they will work properly or not or point you to new drivers or other information.

  • What photo album software do you recommend for CS4 and/or CS5?

    I want to do pagination, design and layout in CS4 (multiple photos per page, text, etc.) to create printable albums. These albums could be either social event or documentary purposed.
    Many such photo album software programs are proprietary which obliges you to use a specific printer or lab. Are there stand alone photo album software programs out there, CS4/5 which allow you to create photo albums and then print your own albums or use a vender of choice to print your albums?
    I've seen everything from $29 thru $400, and some which are priced beyond $800.
    What is your favorite photo album software for CS4 and/or CS5?
    Thanks for any help you may provide.

    It sounds like you are trying to create scrapbook pages ... if so then its quite easy just to create them yourself using Photoshop. You can purchase scrapbooking kits which will give you all the background papers and elements that you need to add to your page. There are also many free kits around ... a quick google search will show you lots of them
    Sets of the pages can then be uploaded to sites that will print out a book ...

  • I need to download Creative Cloud for Photographers and lightroom, I get an error message

    I need to download Creative Cloud for PHotographers and Lightroom that I just purchased.  I get an error message when I click on the link I was sent with the order.

    And what error message exactly? What system? What browser? You need to be more specific.

  • I can't buy a license for Photoshop and Lightroom!

    I live in Sweden and I were browsing the swedish Adobe page a few days ago when I saw that they had a great offer for Photoshop and Lightroom. I tried to sign up and buy it, but when I clicked "Confirm purchase" the page loaded for about ten seconds and then froze completely. I didn't know it had frozen since it was my first try and it said it could take a few minutes. After about 15 minutes though I started to sense that something was up. My computer got really hot and the fans were going at it at the highest speed. I eventually had to close the page to prevent my computer from overheating, but every time I've tried do buy the license since it has done the same thing.
    Does anyone know what to do?
    I appreciate the help, kind regards Anna Cajsa Holmström.
