New Computer Specs for CS5 Photoshop

I am in the market for a new computer. The main use for it will be my amateur photography work using Photoshop.
Current Idea is:
• Genuine Windows 7 Professional 64-bit
• Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-750 quad-core processor [2.66GHz, 1MB L2 + 8MB shared L3 cache]
• 12GB DDR3-1333MHz SDRAM [4 DIMMs]
• 300GB 10K rpm & 640GB 7200 rpm SATA 3Gb/s - two hard drives
• 512MB ATI Radeon HD 4350 [DVI, HDMI, VGA adapter]
Message was edited by: DNB224
I am wondering whether I would be better off with two 7200 RPM drives configures as raid 0.
Also is there any reason to upgrade the graphics card. The one specified is listed on the adobe website as being certified for use with PS CS5.
Thanks for the help.

I had a bad experience with nVidia. When I moved from XP to Vista I had a VERY expensive nVidia Quadro FX card, and I found out the hard way that they don't support older cards well at all, no matter how much you've paid. I futzed with it for months, then bought into "the other guys", at which point I got fast, rock solid reliable Windows operation - as it turns out, for a year and a half, then another 5 months on Windows 7 with no trouble. Lore has it ATI has better hardware too. All I can say is it works for me, and works well.
As far as I've been able to see Photoshop works equally well with ATI as nVidia. They use OpenGL which has been around on both platforms for a long while. Even if Photoshop CS6 uses OpenCL ATI is right there on the forefront with nVidia. I really like what AMD did when they bought ATI.
C: is RAID 0, on which I keep Windows and my data. I have a 3rd non-Raid 1 TB drive as D:, left over from a prior system, on which I put the Photoshop temp file. It's not screaming fast, but then CS5 doesn't seem to use the disk much. I just don't see the system waiting for the disk. Even opening huge files (I work with 1 GB .psd files in my astronomical image processing sometimes) is not slow.
Trust me, the first time you fight through a hard drive failure and spend days getting the system back in order (assuming you do backups) you'll wish you'd gone for reliability. A terabyte is a HUGE amount of data. Just doing backups and restorals to/from an external disk takes hours upon hours!

You definitely need to resurrect the old password associated with the Apple ID you used to purchase the music.
Go here: https://iforgot.apple.com
An email will be sent to the email address associated with that account with instructions regarding resetting that Apple ID's password.
If you no longer have access to that email, the resolution to this problem becomes considerably more difficult. In that event you would need to contact iTunes Support and explain your dilemma.

It sounds like two Apple accounts were used in the purchase of songs, yours and hers. Assuming she won't give you her password, you're kinda stuck. For $129 or so you can repurchase them all.
By the way, if she has the computer and it has your account info in it, you ought to change your password.

I got new computer, but lost my photoshop cs5 disk.

Can I download the program to my new computer if I still have my serial number?

The instructions include:
"For Windows, each program consists of up to two files, an .exe and a 7-Zip file (.7z). The .exe file will only work when the .7z file is also fully downloaded and resides in the same location."
As kglad says, follow the above carefully then double click the .exe file. The installer will do the rest.

New Computer needed for Premiere Pro

I am not too tech-savvy when it comes to some computer specs, but over the years of using Adobe Premiere Pro, I have used many computers with this program, and while all of them met the system requirements, I have had problems in each instance.
I am currently using CS4 on a Dell Precision T3500, which has been pretty good so far, but now I am editing much larger projects that have extensive data and files, and now my system has slowed down to the point where I can no longer render my media without Adobe freezing up and crashing. For reference, the size of the .prproj file is 15M, and is using over 10G of media, and is freezing up on me.
A simple solution would be some sort of add-on to my system to make it work faster with preview files and can render & export quickly, but realistically I will need a better computer overall to accomplish this. Would a specific graphics card solve this problem?
If I were to start from scratch with a brand new computer from Dell.com, what would be the best OS, Processor, Memory (any noticable difference between 4G and 6G?), and anything else needed to allow Premiere Pro to function smoothly with large projects? I would like it to be cost-effective, but what's most importand is getting PPRO to work the way it is meant to for professional, high-end projects.
I don't need to dissect & learn the interworkings of my car in order to drive it. I wish the same could be said about Adobe Premiere Pro and the computer specs needed for it...
Thanks for your time and effort to help me out. Much appreciated!!
-Rick

Rick,
You may not need to know all the inner workings of your car to drive it, but buying a new (or used) car these days involves quite of bit of research just to understand all of the various option packages!
Let me start by completely agreeing with both wb_martin and Bill Gehrke comments, although neither is suggesting you buy a stock Dell! I know enough to build and support my own systems, but ADK indeed rocks for anyone who wants a cost effective turnkey system customized for their specific video (or audio) editing needs.
I also agree with Alex's comments and his "hybrid" recommendation regarding a Dell or HP workstation with a nVidia gamer's series GTX video card. You cannot however order those from Dell's or HP's web sites though since they normally only offer the Quadro nVidia cards on their workstation series offerings.
I will assume that you are editing DV and/or HD and not RED 4k or larger media.
Dell has systems in both their gamers line and workstation line that would work pretty well for large projects assuming you jump up to Adobe's CS5/5.5/6 software which supports use of both cpu and gpu (video card) processing to really speed up editing and renders:
Workstation - Dell T3600
Xeon E5-1650, 6-core, 3.2GHz (3.8 GHz turbo), Win7 Pro 64-bit, $1629 base price
635 watt p/s $35
32GB 1600 MHz ECC RAM $819
Quadro 5000 2.5 GB $1309
4TB RAID 0 $252
Blu-ray burner $222
TOTAL = $4266
Gamer's Alienware Aurora
i7-3930k factory oc'd to 4.1GHz, Win7 Pro 64-bit, $2119 base price
32GB, 1600 MHz RAM $450
GTX 680 2GB video card $450
4TB RAID 0 $250
Blu-ray burner $125
TOTAL = $3394
The workstation option is a really solid system (like your T3500) and Dell's workstation support is pretty good.
The gamer's option is significantly less expensive and faster. I personally think that its also pretty UGLY!
IMHO Dell and HP provide very nice workstation base systems but then charge really inflated prices for memory, hard drives, optical drive upgrades, etc. So, that brings you back to a "hybrid" option if you would be up to it. That is, buy a base Dell (or HP) workstation and then add 3rd party RAM, graphics card, and hard drive(s). That will not void your warranty, but will not be a completely turnkey solution either.
BTW, HP makes a killer workstation pre-configured powerful enough to edit Red 4k. Unfortunately it costs almost $10k!
Good luck with this adventure!

Computer specs for nice 3D rendering/ after effects rendering and video rendering in general ?

Hi there! I would like to know what the perfect specs for a laptop/workstation/computer are, so that I could do my creative work from home..my old laptop (Macbook Pro, 8Gb Ram, V 2010) is not good enough for 3D rendering, not even Video rendering or After Effects... I need to know what graphics card for eg or how much Ram or what I need to look for in a computer so that I won't get any error messages after rendering for half a day anymore...;) (--> very annoying) Money is not a first priority...i would first like to know, what the best option would be that one could have and then down size from there;)
I would appreciate every help:) my laptop is dying...i need something new and better;)
cheers stephs

Regardless of workflow, you want a workstation, not a laptop. You will get much more bang for your buck.
Also, as others have said, Windows machines tend to be better choices than Macs right now. And that's coming from two people who used to use/love Macs...
In general, you want the fastest clock speed on your processor that you can afford. You want as many cores as you can get with that nice, high clock speed.
Ideally, you want 4GB of RAM per core of your processor - MINIMUM 16 GB of RAM, (but get as much as you can afford).
You want an SSD for your cache and a good-sized regular hard drive to hold footage, renders, etc.
GPU matters for Premiere and any third-party plugins that use it (like Red Giant Universe, Element 3d, Mettle's ShapeShifter, etc.), but not for AE and not for Cinema 4D (which comes free with AE these days).
Again, this is just some generalization. For more specific info, we'll need to know more about what you're doing.
Also, you don't need to take our word for any of this; read what Adobe has to say on the matter: FAQ: What computer and components should I buy?

New computer, have to rebuy photoshop?

Hello, I've had Photoshop CS2 for awhile now, and finally decided to upgrade to a new computer. I'm just wondering if I have to rebuy it, or if I can use my key that I got with the box to confirm it on that computer. Any help is appreciated, thanks.

Along with the previous suggestions and comments, if your CS2 is an upgrade, make sure to have the installation disc from the earlier version handy, as it might be needed, when you install CS2 on the new box. It's always easier to gather that sort of stuff up, before you get into an installation routine.
Good luck,
Hunt

What do you think of this new computer configuration for me?

I'm about to buy a new computer and would appreciate any feedback about my choices. I'm buying it because my current computer bogs down using Content Aware Fill and HDR and is too slow for games.
Here is what I currently plan to buy:
Alienware m18x Laptop
Intel i7 2630QM 2.0 GHz (2.8 w turbo boost, 6MB Cache)
Win 7 64 bit
RAM - 16GB dual channel DDR3 at 1600MHz
Dual overkill video cards for gaming (2x AMD HD 6970M)
80 GB SSD for OS and programs
120 GB SSD (40 GB for games and about 80GB for Scratch)
750 GB 7200 rpm hard drive external usb 3.0 for files.
See anything stupid yet? :-)
For another $150 (5% of total) I could get a CPU that is 10% faster but I think it might be smarter to go cheap now and upgrade in a year or two.
16GB is all I can squeeze into this laptop without spending a fortune.
Since I can't have more RAM, I think having SSD for scratch might be good.
I don't know what size files I generate but my camera makes 18M pixels pics. I usually open fewer than five at any one time. I usually don't open more than five layers. I also use LR 3.4. I'm also getting a Dell 30" 2560x1600 monitor.
I can afford speed but I don't like throwing money away. I need a laptop instead of a desktop because I travel and like to bring my computer with me.
Can you suggest any improvements? See any bottlenecks?
Thanks for advice!
Doug

With 16G of RAM will 80Gb be enough for Scratch?
I think that depends on what you try to do...
I have 16 GB myself, and I saw scratch use go over 200 GB once when stitching a large panorama. I was flabbergasted that Photoshop could think it needed 200 GB of space for what would be a resultant pano that was only a few hundred megapixels.
Just twiddling the Liquify filter can cause GB after GB to be used up by files of the form *_MVM_*.tmp in short order. Unfortunately, these temporary files aren't put on the drive identified for scratch, but in the folder identified by TEMP - usually (that's an open sore spot here on the forum at the moment).
I'd have to say that in general you'll probably be okay.

Getting a new computer - Can I redownload Photoshop Elements 7.0, registered?

Hello!
I'm getting a new computer. My old one has Photoshop Elements 7 on it, and I've managed to register it to my Adobe account, so I've got the serial code.
I hear that you can re-download Adobe software if you have the serial code. The general idea that I've gathered is that you have to download the trial, enter your serial code, and then you can have the full version of Photoshop Elements 7.0.
Will I have to uninstall Photoshop Elements 7.0 from my current (old) computer in order to download it onto my new one?
Are there any terms or variables I should know about?
Thank you in advance!

To deactivate an installation you normally just need to open it and choose Help -> Deactivate. If that is not how it works for PSE7 then I guess there is some other mechanism.
The other option is to ask Adobe Support to reset your activations by contacting them thru cha.

Help me buy a new computer suitable for Arch

Hello all Arch users.
About 1½ years ago, a mate convinced me to try out Arch Linux. It was about the same time as I also bought myself a TFT monitor. I've grown rather fond of Arch since then, and refuse to use anything else (except at work where I have to use Windoze).
But I've also been having some eye-problems for the last year or so, and I'm blaming partly my Phillips 190S monitor, and partly backlight/brightness settings in Arch, which I have been unable to change. Last thursday these eye-problems accelerated and gave me so much trouble I was unable to use a computer or TV or even go outside for days. I can't live a life that boring! :-| I have to be able to use my computer 25 hours a day.
I've searched a bit on the forum and found that I'm not the only one having some eye-problems with Arch. One solution apparently is to use xbacklight command, which just doesn't work on my system. I found another graphics-card which I tried, but it used the same drivers, so still no xbacklight command. Anyway, I don't want to make a big story out of it either, since I've decided to buy a new computer and monitor now. I want a low-noise system anyway, so....
The monitor will be some expensive stuff that should be very kind to the eyes, so I'm pretty sure that part can't be better. But should you have a recommendation for a great monitor that's kind to the eyes, do share.
I'm thinking that the hardware otherwise might not be compatible with Arch for reasons I'm sure I wouldn't know about. Also, I'm interested in knowing if there's any graphics-cards that suits Arch better than others. And finally, my Arch system is a little broken, and a fresh install probably isn't a bad idea. (I'm no Linux hardcore user, but I definitely know I prefer any Linux distro over Windoze).
So I decided to put down the stuff I'm thinking of getting, and maybe someone will tell me if they know of any problems with that hardware and Arch, or maybe recommend me something else.
MSI G31M LGA775 1333FSB Bulk MAT G31M, 4xSATA
Intel Core 2 Duo E4600, 2.40GHz, 800FSB
Ram Geil 2048 MB DDR-II PC6400 KIT
Samsung S223 DVDRW-SA/18/18/8/SATA
Samsung 250GB SATA II Harddisk
NorthQ NQ-6803 52-in-1 Cardreader
There's no graphics-card on that list, because there's a built-in one one the motherboard, and I don't really need it for games, but rather system-development and such. But if you believe that a certain graphics-card will improve picture quality, or be more kind to the eyes, then do tell me. (I doubt it, but if you think so, lemme know).
Any other advises regarding brightness and be-kind-to-your-eyes-stuff is also welcome. So far I've installed www.sharpfonts.com, but it's too soon to say if it helps.
Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the answers.
I'll definitely look into that flourescent lighting thingy, although I think/thought I had enough light around me already.
I have also tried having brightness at 0, and even contrast at 0 also. Also using the nvidia settings.
Anyway, it would seem I've found one of the reasons. Apparently, for some weird reason, Arch hasn't offered me 60hz, but rather lower odd numbers such as 53hz. So I've been using a rather lower frequency, which logically should explain at least some of the reason.
While Windows lets me go as high as 75hz with this current 17" monitor I've tried instead of my 19" monitor, Arch won't even let me have 60hz. I've tried various xorg.conf settings, and even got one mailed to me which doesn't change anything. So that's two monitors I've tried where Arch doesn't deliver the hz I want, but where Windows does fine and more. That can't be right. I'm using the nvidia drivers, and have tried two graphics cards.
I'm buying a better monitor regardless though, something that's extra kind to the eyes somehow. I'm thinking 19-22" with some fancy techniques to reduce whatever it tough on the eyes. Maybe a fresh install of Arch will help getting the hz needed. I need to do that anyway on the new computer.
I also tried booting Ubuntu from a CD to check how that seemed, and while the Ubuntu desktop and fonts did seem more calm and eye-friendly, I must admit I'd been looking at it too much at that time to be sure I wasn't just kidding myself.

1. Has been recommended on these forums. Good to have USB3.0.
2. CPU is affordable and fast, with the ability to overclock it if I feel the need for a bit more speed in the future.
3. Would love 12GB, but will start with 6GB and perhaps add more later.
4. Started looking at Solid State Drives as I love the comments about how fast they load programs, etc., however as they are still really expensive felt that going with a fast standard drive would be best. As I plan on having a dual boot system, I would get two of these. One would have OS, CS5 and all my other software installed and the other one would have the minimum for CS5 installed and the OS tweaked for performance with video editing.
5. Both seem like great drives. Anyone any preference? Would plan on getting two and use one to store video rushes and the other for previews and the page file. Would getting a HD with a 6GB/s interface be worth it?
6. I want a quiet case and one that's no higher than 45cm. I already own the Antec Solo and I like the elastic HD mounting. Anyone any preference?
7. Noctua comes recommended on these forums, however am concerned with it's size. Love the idea of water cooling an the H50 system make it easier and less fuss being a closed system. Final choice must be quiet and I've read differing reviews on both.
8. Can't wait to use the MPE, so want a decent card. Torn between getting a cheaper card and upgrading later or spending the money now on a GTX480 and doing the software hack until fully supported.
9. With a GTX480 would a 750w PSU be enough?
GRAPHICS CARD
I've read reports of the GTX480 not being faster than the 2XX version card, however am I not correct in saying that the 2XX cards are no longer being sold? Should I be looking for a card from a particular manufacturer, i.e. Asus, Gainward, Point of View, Gigabyte? Or even Nvidia themselves?
I am worried about the heat generated by the GTX480 and the associated fan noise to cool it. Any thoughts?
Love the water cooling solution, perhaps some day. http://www.guru3d.com/article/geforce-gtx-480-liquid-cooling-danger-den-review/1

DUAL BOOT
For my dual boot, has anyone had experience of using a HD caddy like this one? http://www.ebuyer.com/product/172727
I read a review which said that there was no real speed difference as there is no interface card, just a cable to the motherboard. It would make my dual boot less complicated to set-up as I wouldn't need to use Win 7 to dual boot or use 3rd party software like Acronis OS Selector. It would also free up space for a further internal HD.
PREMIERE OUTPUT TO A HDMI SCREEN
I've been going back and forward on the best solution to get a proper output of my timeline in Premiere to an external monitor. I was set to go with the Matrox MX02 Mini, however some here have said they're unstable (to a degree). Although with the CS5 drivers not out yet, perhaps it's too early to say.
Although none of my video work has been for broadcast (so far), I see a great benefit from being able to preview my timeline on a TV screen as opposed to a PC monitor. I will be running two screens so I need both outputs from the graphics card.
I look forward to receiving your collective wisdom.

Plus a couple of PSU to motherboard extension cables and Windows 7 Pro. It was mentioned by someone that the CPU thermal paste you get with the HN-D14 is fine, so no need to buy anything else.
One extra fan (NF-S12B) to cool hard drives and the other for somewhere else in the case. Perhaps I don't need these.
I presume that I should try and get an OEM CPU as I'll not need the heatsink and fan that'll be in the retail version?
I'm just waiting for Scan to get the case back in stock. Should be today. All priced at Scan, except last three items which are from Overclockers.
Anyone any final thoughts or tips?
