New laptop, transer photoshop?
I am thinking about getting a new laptop, but i'm unsure if that will affect my Photoshop subscription at all? I do not have a code to use because I bought Photoshop directly off of the adobe website. Therefore what will I have to do to get Photoshop on the new laptop I purchase?
For reference, even when you get the software from Adobe directly online, you either use your Adobe ID and password (for subscriptions) or a serial number (for perpetual licenses).

Which new Laptop for Photoshop CS4
My present laptop (Asus 3053WXMi)has proven to be too slow for the new CS4. I have been doing some research into laptops but it is almost a science trying to work out which is best. I have been looking at the following possibilites and would like feedback as to your opinions and other options.
SONY VAIO FW21Z C2D 2.53 4GB/500 BLU-RAY/RW 16.4#VHP
SONY VAIO AW11Z C2D 2.53 4GB/640 BLU-RAY/RW 18.4#VHP (more expensive!)
ASUS G71V-7S024G 17" WXGA+ (powerful but ugly)
FSC Amilo Xi 3650-006 (Only 32 bit system??????)
Do any of you have any feedback? I live in Denmark so unusual laptops like Alienware cannot be bought here.
I realise that 4 GB ram is a must and I have only looked at powerful 2.53 GHz processors but the graphic cards are really confusing me. I work in 2d in Photoshop creating artwork.
(I would like to have a Blue Ray too that writes so I can make extra backup of my precious files).
Thank you :-)The HP dv7tqe has the ability for 2 HDD and has the new Sandy Bridge 2630QM i7, but the downfall is no USB 3.0, not a huge problem till I want something that uses it,
Which would be? Unless you plan to use an external disk as your primary working drive this is a non-issue and I'm sure you could by a PC Card USB3 exteneder, if ever needed. Following your logic, nobody should buy a notebook before 2012, just because until then Apple have exclusive rights to Thunderbolt, which of course is utter nonsense. Would an average user ever even exploit this theoretical bandwidth? Same for your USB 3. So in fairness, buy what you need now, not what you may need next year...
and it has the Radeon HD 6570 with 1 gig of DDR5 ram. This video card isn't that good, but I was wondering if it was good enough to use with Photoshop and illustrator.
*LOL* You know, 10 years ago people would have killed for it. You have a completely wrong impression of how much PS uses OpenGL features. that card wil ldo just fine, as long as its driver and configuration are compatible with PS.

Laptop for Photoshop - GPU (Nvidia vs AMD) + Display (IPS vs TN) questions - please help
Hi, I am helping someone with getting a new laptop for PhotoShop work, and am very confused about a couple of things.
Hoping that the pros on this forum can help.
1. Dedicated Graphics card - needed or not?
If needed, AMD Radeon/FirePro (difficult to find on laptops) or Nvidia GeForce GTX 6xxM/7xxM or Quadro?
2. Suggestions on laptops with an IPS panel and wide color gamut.
Re. 1 - this is very confusing. From what I researched, the new Photoshop versions (CS6 and above) do use the GPU very effectively, and are using OpenCL rather than CUDA. Yet there are people on some forums that say that a GPU is not needed unless editing video.
My friend is not editing video - he is using Photoshop to create Digital Art. He does use all of the Photoshop features in his work. No 3D work, no video editing. The end result is Printed artwork - sometimes large prints 3 ft x 4 ft printed with geeclee on canvas/high quality paper.
Is a GPU needed, and if so is it better to get the AMD cards (Radeon most likely) that seem to completely outperform the GeForce cards in OpenCL at least?
Most of the laptops available seem to have the GTX 6xxM or 7xxM cards, and I read on one forum that the OpenCL functions are disabled on these cards. Read on another forum that it can be re-enabled with a hack. Thorougly confused. Please help.
Re. 2 - This too is confusing. Seems like an IPS panel has the best color rendition, but then they do not cover the entire color spectrum - or at least not as widely as the TN panels. If this will be the only monitor for work, is an IPS panel the best way to go or is it better to get a TN with wide gamut? Are there laptops with both - an IPS panel and a wide color gamut - without breaking the bank?
Currently the Sager/Clevo machines, and some MSI models, and ASUS models seem to be the best candidates. Had to rule out Dell Precision 6700/4700 and HP Elitebook 8770W/8570W due to price, but considering refurbished ones.
I am working with a $1200 budget with maybe some stretchability. Any advice/suggestions will be much appreciated.At the potential risk of your pretending to kick me off what you misguidedly perceive as your thread—which by the way you would have no right to do, since you do not own a thread just because you started it—I'll have a couple of comments on your original thoughts.
There's no reason to be "confused" here.
1.— Utilization of the GPU is indeed always beneficial to using recent versions of Photoshop, regardless of whether you work with video or not. Whether you "need it or not" is a different discussion.
2.— Of course it's absolutely necessary to be able to work with a monitor that has a narrower gamut than your working space or even your output target profile. In my case, for example, as I'm 99.9% concerned with high quality prints, I work exclusively in ProPhoto RGB. I'd be in a pickle if I were to restrict my work to just what I can see on any monitor regardless of how wide its gamut were.
One just has to learn how to work in Photoshop. That's what Gamut Warning and Soft Proofing are there, for example. Printers are capable of printing some colors that are not visible on any monitor.
3.— If both the video card and/or its driver fail to support Open GL and Shader Model, no "hack" on Earth can make up for it.
4.— If someone came to me for advice on a laptop on which to run Photoshop well, my main and perhaps only goal would be to dissuade that person from wasting his or her money.
I know there might be flak from some laptop users for that immediately preceding paragraph, but hopefully not as much as you're likely to get—and deservedly so—from Mac Pro users for your astonishingly uninformed comments on those machines.
One thing is having a laptop as a second machine on which to show your Photoshop work to clients and prospective clients when forced to, and another one is trying to use a laptop as one's main, working Photoshop machine.
Going to a laptop publication (which I gather the obscure, niche-market "NBR" you cite is) for information on whether to use one or not is like seeking theological religious advice about world religions from the Pope in the Vatican or the Ayatollah in Tehran.
5.— In the past I had run Photoshop on a variety of different nVidia GeForce cards with up to 512 MB of VRAM, but with Photoshop CS6's more advanced utilization of the GPU I have moved to a mutant, factory-overclocked, flashed ATI Radeon HD 5770 with 1 GB of VRAM driving side-by-side dual 22" monitors in my current desktop Mac Pro 2.66 GHz under OS X Lion 10.7.5 and I couldn't possibly be happier.
I do run my second copy of Photoshop on my Mac Book (not "Pro") laptop with its stock Intel GMA 950 video circuitry and its paltry 64 MB of shared system memory, and it works just fine for the aforementioned purposes of showing Photoshop work to others. I wouldn't want to do any editing in Photoshop on that machine other than for minor touch-ups in an emergency, however.
Lastly, I feel compelled to add that, in my opinion, basic human decency would dictate that you offer Trevor some sort of apology for your presumptuousness in asking him to leave this thread. If I hadn't already begun typing this post before you posted your #6, I might have just ignored your thread. Considering the overall anti-laptop tenor of this post, you may well wish I had. -
I have a packardbell laptop with photoshop elements 8 installed from new. I have used it on several occasions but I cannot get it to run now. When I open a photo using elements the Adobe box pops up saying that the programme has unexpectedley quit? can anyone help me please as I have several photos to edit before the end of this month. Many thanks for any help
The "restore disk" is built into the Mac. See About Recovery.
Need more specifics about what error messages you got while installing Adobe Flash.
However, you can almost avoid Flash altogether by setting YouTube to play the HTML5 version instead.
Click the Try something new! link at the bottom of the YouTube page.
I don't know about the sound issue. Might be hardware as you think. Try other headphones to check. -
hello, i ordered photoshop on creative cloud in August 2014 on a monthly plan, had no problems installing and using etc, until both mine and my girlfriends laptops were damaged. I then stopped paying my monthly plan. and PS was deactivated. I recently got a new laptop which im using currently, it is an aspire one with windows 7. I paid my debt to adobe to reactivate, Creative Cloud Photography plan (one-year) . I then downloaded creative cloud and logged in as usual, i go to the apps page to install PS but it only has an option that says TRY. i looked into the problem and found that with my account i can only have PS installed on two devices, and the only two solutions i saw was to uninstall on the other devices and then re install. This is my problem, my girlfriend chucked her laptop straight in the bin whilst I have mine in the cupboard in pieces not working. or the other option was to open a new account with adobe. I dont really want to follow that option as I have just paid my debt and subscription for the next month and i dont want to change my email address associated with the adobe account. Any advice or solutions will be appreciated, thank you.
The purchase is active now, we have recieved the payment. You have one activation left.
Current Plan:
Creative Cloud Photography plan (one-year)
Account Activated:
20-Aug-2014
Since there is no billing issue, please try to install & activate the CC, in case of any issue contact Adobe Support via Contact Customer Care

How do I transfer my photoshop to a new laptop with no disc drive?
I need to transfer my CS6 upgrade and, I assume, my original CS5 Windows versions of Photoshop to my new laptop that has no disc drive. This feature takeaway is increasingly common in new laptops, so I thought this would be an easy search, but I got nothing. Anyone out there know a practical way that doesn't involve ripping a disc? If ripping a disc is my only option, then what is the easiest and cheapest way to do that?

I find it hard to believe that your new laptop has no disk drive. I can not believe it boots off some network device. It is quit normal to download or copy Photoshop installation files to a Laptops internal hard disk or ssd using an external DVD or network shared. Then install Photoshop from the copied or downloaded installation files. I haven't installed Photoshop from CD or DVD in many years. Normally you do not need to copy prior versions of Photoshop to do an upgrade. You will need to be able to enter your upgrade eligible version of Photoshop serial number.
I think the idea of network computers without disk drives went out vogue many years ago it was a concept that never took off. -
I had an early version of Photoshop (2.0 I think) that worked perfect on windows vista. I bought a new laptop with windows 8.1 and the Photoshop won't install. Which version of Photoshop compatible with Windows 8.1 is closest to the older Photoshop?
I think you mean Photoshop CS2. Photoshop 2 is from around 1992. The old Adobe activation servers were taken down. CS2 is about a decade old Adobe made a new download for old customers that legal customers can download and install. Download Acrobat 7 and CS2 products

Need Help to re-download my Photoshop Elements 12+Premiere Elements 12 to a new laptop Win-8 64-bit
When I purchased the special deal of Photoshop Elements 12+Premiere Elements 12, I owned a Windows Vista (32-bit) laptop. When I downloaded my purchase, all went smoothly, no problems w/Photoshop when I used the mouse's wheel-scroll feature, it helped me zoom in to specifically pinpoint areas in pictures t/b fixed, etc.
I now have a NEW laptop ... Windows 8 (64-bit). I re-downloaded my Photoshop Elements 12+Premiere Elements 12 onto my new one. Options to download the Premiere Elements showed I should use the "bottom" option to download for Win-8/64-bit - did that w/no problem. There were NO OPTIONS showing that the Photoshop Elements 12 had to ALSO be using a specific way to be downloaded? Consequently, I think (?), the problem that I'm having in using the mouse's wheel-scrolling feature may have been affected by using the "normal" format to download???
So here's my question: Because I bought this combined deal, should I have ALSO used the bottom option showing installation for 64-bit Premiere Elements 12??? I WOULD APPRECIATE A TIMELY RESPONSE - NEED HELP ON GETTING MY PHOTOSHOP WORKING PROPERLY, NOW!
Thank you in advance for any help/suggestions that can resolve my frustrating experience on this!
Léona Buckner
[email protected]Oops!!!! I accidentally found my answer within my Photoshop Elements 12 "Preferences" folder! Only one part of my question remains --- what about how to download it as a 64-bit option, or does it matter at all?
Sorry to have panicked about this, but when I started using it, the cursor movements seemed unstable so I thought it was because of downloading for a 32-bit instead of my current OS-64bit! -
How do I transfer Photoshop to my new laptop without install CD?
My laptop is ancient and about to die. I have a new one and I want to transfer Photoshop onto my new one. I know I can deactivate Photoshop on my old laptop but how do I get it on my new one? I can't remember 100% but I'm sure I installed it via download when I purchased it so I don't have an install disc. So how do I go about getting it on my new laptop so I can then deactivate it on my old one and then continue using it on my new one?
