New Air and Photoshop - Your thoughts..

Despite all the nay sayers out there I'm still drawn to the Air, but my one concern is around running Photoshop. The Air would never be a primary machine for me and for the most part it would be used for traveling, internet use and using Photoshop when away from my iMac. Never anything too demanding - mostly designing web pages and while I wouldn't expect it to be as fast as my primary machine I would get **** annoyed if there was serious performance lag.
Any thoughts or experiences out there? Should the recent upgrades to the Air impact on any of this?
Thanks.

And I never said you can't use photoshop on a mba.
You can use Ps on MBA, will operate fine for most user imo, OP might want to let us know exactly what they do with Ps routinely, though. If you check out recommended specs for Ps CS4 they aren't that demanding, i.e. MB Air meets these.
also, the trying to do work with large megapixel multi-layer photos on a 13" screen is a joke, especially with the built in intel graphics chip. that is why i bought a 30" samsung for my Mac pro.
I think you've confused yourself in this thread, Glorfindeal, as the latest MB Air has NVIDIA GeForce 9400M, not intel graphics...

    I have recently purchased a new computer and photoshop element. It looks like its downloaded it but I don't know how to access it. it says file are ready...down load files have been extracted and saved to folder....launch PS elements and open specific folder. it looks like it downloads. It then keeps taking me back to this page. Im not sure where to go next

    if you have a win os you should have dl'd an exe and a 7z file.
    put both in the same directory and double click the exe.

  • Trouble getting "back to my mac" to work on new Air - and really need this functionality

    This is sort of one of those "asked and answered" threads, but I wanted to share my solution. I love being able to see my other computers remotely. I don't think Apple sells the functionality of remote desktop enough. I have a laptop and I also run to mini servers, one at work, and one at home. When I first got "back to my mac" working with my Apple ID on all three computers I thought I had died and went to heaven. With fast internet access this is really incredible - able to move files back and forth and see different things - even run things like media encoding on another computer so my laptop is not slowed down.
    But when I bought a new Air a couple of weeks ago I ran into a problem. I had done everything right. Each computer allows login with my Apple ID and all the sharing was turned on properly - remember, I was doing this with my previous Macbook Pro just fine.
    But everytime I would click on the remote computer in finder, finder would just quit and restart. Weird. Crash and then restart of finder.
    So I've been fighting with it.
    Then I discovered I could click on "All" in the sidebar (to see all networked computers and servers). Then if I right-clicked on the server that showed up in the list in the main window of "All" I could choose a "connect as" and get it to work. Now it works regardless even if I double-click right on the icon of the remote server in the sidebar.
    If you followed all of that, it could help you. If you're not using this "remote desktop feature, you should.

    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    The title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
    SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
    from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
    View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar at the top of the screen.
    Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then try the action that you're having trouble with again. Select any messages that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
    ☞ The log contains a vast amount of information, almost all of which is irrelevant to solving any particular problem. When posting a log extract, be selective. A few dozen lines are almost always more than enough.
    Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.

  • Html5 and css3 your thoughts please!

    Hi everyone
    As it is July the 4th, I though I would ask a question that is nothing to do with dreamweaver or coding problems.
    Two years ago I posted this thread - http://forums.adobe.com/thread/457240, on the subject of html5/css3, and most people thought that it was too early to adopt these technologies except for 'early adoption' trial sites.
    So what does everyone think now that two years have passed?
    Are these still considered too new?
    Are you using html5 and/or css3 in your web sites?
    Is 'progressive enhancement' and/or 'graceful degradation' now a part of your design/coding strategy when using them?
    Is anyone using or experimenting with any of the 'newer' features such as the css3 flex-box model or in-line svg?
    Is IE6/7 still part of your 'it must look the same in all browsers' design philosophy, or are you now ignoring these browsers?
    Your thoughts and opinions, (not insults please) would be welcome, and if you wish to pose a question on how to use any of these the please do so in a separate thread. Also if anything is stopping you using html5/css3, then say what it is.
    There is no correct answer but, (5) points will be awarded for the 2 best discussions, because if someone takes time and thought in posting a reply, then some sort of reward should be available, (I did consider a bottle of wine but).

    In my opinion yes.

    Not yet but I have been looking at some basics of both in preparation to move across once I feel the time is right - 2015 I'll be retired.
    Is 'progressive enhancement' and/or 'graceful degradation' now a part of your design/coding strategy when using them?
    Nooooooooo! If corners are supposed to be round then square ones is'nt graceful gradation to me.
    Is anyone using or experimenting with any of the 'newer' features such as the css3 flex-box model or in-line svg?
    Nope....never heard of them.

    IE 7 definitely but I don't design to take into consideration IE 6 any longer.
    I'am  right! I'm right! Follow the leader or maybe not

  • How do I transfer iPhoto library from an old Mac to a new Air and retain the Albums?

    I just transferred my iPhoto library from an old Mac to a new Air by dragging the entire Library from my Pictures folder onto an external HD and then dragging from there onto my new Air. Transfer effected fine and all images now appear in iPhoto on the new Air. One problem: the Albums that were present on the left hand toolbar in iPhoto on my old machine are no longer there, so I have 50,000 images with no organization. Events are still there organized by date so that is something, but the Albums are not there and that is what I primarily relied on. Help please??

    The left hand pane is the source pane. Were both Macs running the same version of iPHoto?
    Try rebuilding the library with the option to Rebuild the iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
    OT

  • Brand New Machine and Photoshop CS6 running very slow

    I just installed Photoshop CS6 on my new Machine and it is running horrible. Moving around objects, turning effects on/off, zooming, and more all take for ever to render.  I can not figure out why. I have updated video card drivers and more. Scratch Disk is set to a second disk and messed with all of the GPU settings. Only photoshop runs bad on this machine. I should not be having issues with the system. Below is the system info from Photoshop. Also this machine is running with two SSD drives which should make PS run even faster.

    Tried Photoshop at all sorts of various settings including default. All with the D drive being used for the Scratch disk. Working on the similar size file described above. The file I am working on now is 4000 x 4800 pixels, CMYK, 8 bit depth.  Photoshop is slow selecting layers with auto select, very slow when moving layers around the Canvas, and slow rendering the Canvas when zooming in and out. This document also has about  30 layers and is 80mg.
    I only use the 64 bit version of Photoshop these days. Also all three monitors are set at 60 Hertz. Photoshop is closed and reopened upon all changes.
    I use to be a Photoshop Certified Expert in CS3 so I am extremely familar with the product. I am just stumped.

  • New printer and Photoshop

    Just bought a Pixma MX922 and photoshop will not see it! I keep getting a message that I need to install a printer to print. The printer works in other programs, is set as default  but it WILL NOT work in Photoshop and I am tearing my hair out. I probably have about a thousand  photoshop files and I desperately need to fix this!
    If you google "photoshop can't see new printer" a ton of other stuff comes up. It is not specific to Canon printers, they will not help me with it, I called them... I see lots of other people having this same problem with other brands also, but I am really hoping that someone here has had this problem and can help me.
    I have tried lots of fixes I found online, but none work (creating a new photoshop profile, etc.)
    I am running Windows 7 Home Premium, Photoshop CS4.
    I would sure be interested to see if anyone has had this problem and what they did to fix it!

    No, I never got any answers and after finding out that the fax won't work on this printer unless I have my answering machine in my office hooked DIRECTLEY to the printer, I took it back anyway. But this Photoshop thing has happened on 2 different printers I have tried... Canon & Brother. It is a common problem out there and I think I will have to suck it up and go back to HP printers because so far these other brands are not cutting it for me.
    Let me know if you find an answer for the Photoshop problem as I am out of town for awhile and planning on buying ANOTHER printer when I get home... I have always used HP, but was trying to break away from their ridicuoulous ink prices, but I give up. If Photoshop works with a new HP printer, I'll let you know!

  • Macbook Air and Photoshop

    I work with Photoshop a lot, handling images up to 5000 pixels with many layers in my iBook G4 14' 933Mhz, 1Gb RAM, albeit slowly at filters and some tools. Since my wife wants a notebook, I'll pass Zappa (my faithful iBook) to her and buy a new one for me.
    I considered the Macbook, but i frankly hated the plastic enclosure as the iBook made me fed up of it. Also, there are reports of broken top cases after a while and i want to buy a laptop to last a minimum of 5 years.
    Then there's the Macbook Pro, but they're expensive and really big and I want something really portable and easy to get on my hands quickly.
    Hence, the Air. After trying one for a couple of hours i fell in love with it: it's small, light, sturdy, with a great screen and a keyboard with backlight. The thing is: how good is it at Photoshop? Will the core shutdown problems make it unusable for me, even after the latest patch from Apple? And how fast will it be for someone used to the old G4 processor?

    Thanks all for the responses. I decided to bite the bullet and buy an iMac since the extra horsepower and the bigger screen are more handy. I'll sure miss the mobility, but it was more of a convenience than a necessity. Also, the Macbook Air's incredibly small hard disk and its lack of ethernet (and the absence of the usb ethernet adapter on the store) were a deal breaker to me.
    Oh, well. Maybe next time. Thanks again.

  • New computer and Photoshop 7

    I realize Photoshop 7 is ancient, but it's the only version I have with a serial number.
    First question:
    If I install Photoshop 7 on a new Mac, will I then be able to upgrade to CS3, even though 7 doesn't work with Leopard?
    Second question:
    Currently I have CS on an iBook G4, but I no longer have the serial number.  Will I be able to install the CS3 upgrade, without the CS serial number, or will I need to uninstall CS, install PS 7, and then install the CS3 upgrade?
    Thanks!

    Thanks so much for your answer.  I didn't realize I could contact Adobe for the serial number.
    As for buying the CS3, here is what the current owner of the software says:
    This software was in use and was registered, but it was
    deactivated prior to being uninstalled so activating it should not be a problem.
    What's your take on this?
    If the software was used to upgrade to CS4 you can't use it. The serial was used in the upgrade path already and will do you no good. Adobe has gone to specific upgrade paths so if CS3 is not an upgrade from PS7 it will do you no good (you should check with Adobe on this, I know this is how the Creative Suites were made). Also the owner must provide a letter of destruction of Photoshop on his computer. When he sells you CS3 he is selling you the complete license for all the versions he has. All versions he has are still only one license.

  • Adobe AIR and Photoshop CS3 Integration

    Hello,
    We have been using Extendscript for scripting to control
    Photoshop CS3 for calling actions and manipulating images. However,
    we would like to build an Adobe AIR application to take the place
    of Extendscript. Is this possible? Is it possible to control
    Photoshop with an Adobe AIR application?
    Any suggestions or links to any documenation around this
    would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

  • MacBook Air and Photoshop CS6

    I am looking at buying a MacBook Air (Mid 2012, core i7, 8GB of RAM, and 256GB SSD), and I am curious how it performs using Adobe Photoshop CS6 3D. Also, can it run other profesional applications such as Adobe After Effects, FCP X, Motion 3.5, and Adobe Premiere Pro CS6. Any other tips and tricks would be appericated. Thanks

    I've got a mid 2012 MBA with an i7 and 8GB RAM, 128SSD. I have photoshop 6 that I run from an external hard drive linked up via usb 3 and it runs just fine. A bit harder than normal but well within what the CPU is capable of. I've had it open with Safari, iTunes, and a few other things and it still runs smooth. The i7 along with 8GB RAM is quite powerful especially for how little the notebooks are.

  • Sony TD10, MVC files, 3D, Importing and Saving - your thoughts?

    Hello, new to the forum but over the past year I've been collecting bits and pieces and now finally have a 990X cpu with 3XGTX 580's and Premiere Pro...Ya, what did I get in to..., well something to keep my mind busy.
    Anyway, Just got my TD10 and a Bloggie too, but looking to see if there is any updates on importing, but more importantly, being able to save the interlaced file that I'm pulling out of my Sony.  Will I need to purchase the Cineform 3d Neo program?  I've downloaded the plugins but not sure if that is enough.  I just Dave Helmly's "Stereoscopic Workflows for Premiere Pro CS5" and will check that out in a bit.
    I have been able to get the files off the TD10, edit a bit and combine with Sony's PMB, then play in 3d with Cyberlink's player with my NVidia glasses, pretty cool.
    I see there is a couple posts on this topic inside here but they are 2 months old.  I'm just looking for some pointers so I can jump in with both feet and not bang my head against any brick walls.  Looking forward to it.
    Thanks,
    Dan

    For what it will cost you in time and plug-ins to go the Cineform/Premiere route, you'll be better off getting Vegas Pro 10. It already recognizes the MVC files flawlessly and allows you to work with them on a single timeline in total, frame-accurate sync.
    I don't like the Vegas interface and am in the midst of remapping the keyboard but the ease of working with the footage more than makes up for the quirky keystrokes.
    Hopefully Adobe will get it together to handle this format SOON!!!
