Missing Memory in CS5?

Hi to all!
On my Mac Pro I had CS4 and since two days aside also Photoshop CS5 installed.
Since I like to use my Nik plug-ins I changed the Bit mode of CS5 to 32 Bit. After I removed the Selective Tool of those Plug-ins it seems everything was working fine.
Later on I had a problem with the Trash in the Finder (all was deleting immediately), but I was able to solve that issue also.
But now to my real question:   I have a 2009 Mac Pro model with 4x2 GB Ram memory. In the Photoshop CS5 Preferences in Performance I can read:         
                        Available RAM  2100 MB
                        Ideal Range  1155 - 1512
I set it to          1577  MB  (75%)
In Photoshop CS4  I can read the following:
                       Available RAM  3072 MB
                       Ideal Range  1689 - 2211 MB
I set it to         2319  MB  (75%)
How come that both different versions of Photoshop seems to recognize different amount of RAM?
(As far I can remember yesterday I saw in the CS5 preferences a much higher value of available RAM written)
Since I have 8 GB RAM installed, why this is not recognized?
Does this has any impact on the real performance? Does this has anything to do because I switched from 64 BIT to 32 BIT operating?
Thanks for any guidance, I'm puzzled and curious
Michael

Thanks a lot, Chris!
At least I know now that everything seems to be working fine.
So when I like to use CS5 including using the Nik Plugins I have to accept the available RAM below 2 GB.
Is this normally enough RAM, or should I seriously consider to buy more RAM?
(I'm using no 3D features, just moderate photo editing, but with large 16 Bit files)
So in order to have at least the double of available RAM, I would have to upgrade my Mac Pro to 16 GB, right?
(Quiet costly? Any recommendations?)

  • Missing Thumbnails in CS5 bridge

    I just got Photoshop CS5 and for the first time decided to use Bridge that comes with Photoshop. My problem is that Bridge doesn't show thumbnails for all my files. Some folders of images have a few thumbnails missing, other folders have a lot of thumbnails missing. One of my folders have over half of the image thumbnails missing. An icon shows up instead. I can still double click these icons to open the image in Photoshop but I can't see the image in advance of opening it. I found a whole lot of info on the adobe web site concerning thumbnails in a lot of various products. But nothing seemed to match what I'm experiencing. In fact a lot that I read leaves me more confused. Anyone else having this problem and have an answer?

    90% jpg
    Some NEF and some TIFF. None of those have missing thumbnails, but then I don't have very many of each.
    Just got an upgrade to Bridge this morning, version 4.0.5.11. After it installed I checked for a change in the thumbnail problem. No fix.
    ACR is version 6.4.1.145

  • Fonts missing in Photoshop CS5

    I have many DVD case templates I created with Photoshop CS2.  I now have Photoshop CS5.  I am opening these DVD case templates with PS CS5.  There have been several instances where the fonts I used in CS2 is not available in CS5.  Is it possible for me to import these fonts into PS CS5?  If so, how?
    Thanks,
    Angela

    One follow-up question concerning the "missing fonts" issue.....
    With Photoshop CS5, if the font is missing the program will alert you.  Because of these alerts, I was able to determine which fonts were missing in my Photoshop projects and install the missing fonts.
    Unfortunately, Premiere Pro CS5 will use the "next best" font if a font is missing.  Therefore, I was trying to determine which fonts were "incorrect" within my APP CS5 projects and install the missing fonts accordingly.
    My question.....I have approx 360 fonts from my XP computer.  Would there be any harm in installing all of these fonts on my Windows 7 computer, to make sure I cover my bases?  Currently, there are approx 300 fonts on my Windows 7 computer.
    I have verified that if I try to install a font that is currently on my Windows 7 computer, I will get a prompt asking if I want to replace the existing font.  Obviously in this case, I would not replace an Windows 7 font with a Windows XP font.
    Take care,
    Angela

  • Missing effects in cs5. Error message when I add presets.

    So I'm new to AE, and need some help. When I add the "rotate over time" animation preset to a title, it says "this favorite contains 1 reference to a missing effect. Please install the following effect to restore this reference". Does anyone know how I can get this worked out? Everything is there in my effects and presets, except this error message keeps showing up when I add it. When I look in my presets folder, the transform is clearly there. Any help? Something I'm missing/overlooking?
    Specs: 2010 17 in mbp, 2.53 ghz i5, 8 gb ram, 500 gb. AE cs5 10.2

    Nothing to worry about. This is a so called "Pseudo Effect". More details here: http://www.batchframe.com/tutorials/12
    Basically the documentation of this custom preset should have contained some code thant you need to insert into "PresetEffects.xml" and is just for naming purposes. So as long as you can live with the "missing effect" name you have nothing to worry about.

  • Images missing in Dreamweaver CS5 CIB Lesson 4

    Images are missing from the CD in Dreamweaver CS5 CIB, lesson 4. I've used the CIB series for InDesign, Photoshop, Flash and Illustrator, and I've never had this problem. Where and how can I get the images, if this is possible? I'm using Windows 7.

    Have you tried Safari books website if they have anything extras to download.  I don't own the book but I can see some downloads at this link:

    Obviously one needs to have a book to download these.

  • Close() missing, memory leak in XMLType Support Sample [04-Mar-2003]

    In the function

    I am missing the close() statement.
    I think, this should look like this:
         // XMLType class had a static overloaded method called createXML
         // which takes an OPAQUE object as input and retrieves the XMLType
         // equivalent of it. The syntax of this method is

    Is this correct?

  • Acrobat 9 Missing in Design CS5

    Hello everyone,
    I've installed on trial basis Design CS5 on my iMac and of the software listed by Adobe.com. to be included in this suite, only Acrobat 9 is missing.
    Can anyone tell me where have I gone wrong?
    Thanks.

    OK mspresso10, I found the answer to this question. It's in the CS Review forum with the weird title "Design Premium CS5 nor Acrobat?"
    http://forums.adobe.com/message/2813218#2813218
    They are saying Acrobat 9 comes in a separate DVD. That means I will have to download it separately.

  • Main icons are missing on Dreamweaver cs5.5 after migrating from one mac to another

    Can someone help me? My icons are missing after migrating dreamweaver cs5.5 using migration assistance on a mac. I have no idea how to fix this...

    Migration Assistant is not recommended for transferring DW to another system.
    Uninstall DW in full and do a fresh re-install of DW from the installer (either CD/ DVD or a .DMG file).

  • Components seem to be missing from Photoshop CS5 since de-bugging PC by shop

    Since my Windows-7 PC went to the shop for a clean up following some suspect virus my CS5 Photoshop seem to have some components missing.
    I can get into CS5 (I had upgraded from CS3 earlier in the year and now I can't get into CS3 even though the icon is still there.) and upload a photo and use the basic tools but I can't use a lot of the ACTIONS: i.e. I get error messages like The command "Feather" is currently not available or "The command Channel Mixer is currently not available"

    Sorry - This should be a better quality copy. The ACTION stops when it gets to step 2 - the FEATHER
    Someone at my camera club suggested I was running out of RAM - I have 6GB so that shouldn't have been an issue.

  • Functionality missing in Dreamweaver CS5 that was in older versions

    Is it me or is CS5 less user friendly than earlier versions?  I've done most of my work with Dreamweaver 4... a little bit with Dreamweaver 8 and only jumped to CS5 because I saved up enough and thought I could advance my abilities with the advanced software....
    Anyway - I've added background images to tables in earlier versions and cannot find how to change them or add new ones to new tables.  I've searched the web and found many sites that claim to have the answer but after reading them they all seem to be way off base.  Once again, I used a work around.  I copied the code from one file to another and then changed the image file...  HTML is not my strong suit... that's why I started usning Dreamweaver... the WYSIWYG functions made it easy.   There used to be an area to add the image in the properties area... gone in CS5
    Also gone is the Table height box....  ??
    How about table border and background colours?  They are gone as well
    There are other things missing but the ones above are ones I used quite a bit.
    I am attempting to get up to speed with CSS and hope that it will solve some of my issues with the missing stuff.
    JBS

    function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}
    I'm still not pleased that I spent a lot of money only to find out I have to enhance my skills to use the newer software.   I am finding the same type of issues with Fireworks... Most of the graphics I created with the older version get changed because a change in the way Fonts are used... and,  one of my favorites... Bevel Boss is missing...
    Well regardless of spending money for newer software, the web and its standards are ever changing. You could have of course, downloaded and installed a free yet very powerful text editor such as jEdit or Notepad++ and continue to design sites as you have been. I think the point of Adobe not making certain tools and buttons freely available IS an example of how the web is evolving. Why would adobe keep supporting obsolete practices?
    I know the guy I work for LOVED using the font tag. I really had to dig around in DW to even find a mention of the font tag. They no longer have a tool or button to insert or wrap text in a font tag because its deprecated as well.

  • Missing plug-ins CS5 - help needed

    In the filter menu I haven't got the first plug-ins. I have blur, noise, pixelate, sharpen, stylize, other and that's all. Where are the others and, more importantly, how can I get them?

    Ah, they're just missing entirely from the menu.  Have they always been missing like that, or did they go missing at some point?  I see that you have some Nik plug-ins...  Is it possible you saw the problem occur on installing those?  I ask because there are several current forum threads on the bad things some Nik plug-ins are doing to the Photoshop user interface.
    That has the look of a possibly incomplete Photoshop installation.
    It's also possible that your menus have been edited...
    Some things to try/check:
    1.  Do the menus return if you choose Windows - Workspace - Reset Essentials from the menu?
    2.  Do you have this file on your computer:
         C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS5\Plug-ins\Filters\Liquify.8BF

  • Exporting to PDF - Missing letters   InDesign CS5

    I'm using CS5 at work.  My boss already had a commercial font, the Helvetica Neue serie.  I'm using that font right now in an InDesign document for our yearly catalogue.
    The InDesign file is perfect, pictures and texts.  But when I translate it to a PDF, letter go missing, 'li' 'ni' 'lo' and sequences of letters like that, all around the catalogue.
    I know there are some threads that talk about missing letters but in previous versions of InDesign.
    Anyone got an idea ?
    I created once of twice PDFs without that problem, so I wonder what is happening ? 

    should I change font then ?  it's kindda late, it's uploading with corrections right now to China....
    Well, if what you have works for you, and if it's already on its way, then it's a bit late to change the font or change the way you made the PDF.
    For the future, though, it would be good for you to figure out what went wrong. Now, I don't have a full set of Helvetica (horrors! I work in a nonprofit), so I had to try this with other fonts. I picked Minion Pro at first, actually. I exported all kinds of PDFs, both for print and for interactive, and I couldn't make the ligatures drop. And I viewed it in my browser as well as opened from the desktop, I tried it with generic Times, I tried it in many, many ways. I was not able to reproduce your issue.
    It'll be worth the time spent digging if you can figure this out. Here are my guesses:
    1) You folks are using a plugin or another app or some non-Adobe PDF viewer in your browsers. I remember in the early days of... um... I think it was Preview on the Mac circa 10.3?  it would sometimes mess up display of ligatures in embedded fonts.
    2) Everyone in your organization has the same corrupt version of Helvetica. (A very, very long shot.)
    3) There's a bug in the Interactive PDF export. (Another very, very long shot.)
    4) The font is not actually embedding correctly in the interactive PDF for unknown reasons, and we can't tell.
    Anyhow, if it's a problem with your setup or your working methods, better to find out now rather than later. And if it's a bug, same. I'd start by trying to export interactive PDFs with other fonts that do have ligatures to see if you can narrow it down to "just ligatures" or "just Helvetica."

  • Liquify missing on Photoshop CS5. How do I get it back?

    I need it. My computer: Mac OS X 10.6.8.
    I called Customer Service at Photoshop and they could not help.

    Kelly, You have been of great help.
    I decided to reinstall Photoshop CS5, and Liquify is available.
    Now I got a new problem: the version of Photoshop is 12.0. Therefore, I am missing the upgrades. I wonder where can I get the upgrades?
