OpenCL support for HD 400

I am stupefied to find out that there is no driver support for openCL in mac  for the HD4000 intel integrated graphic card.
I have found support in Linux and Windows !!
Despite this seems a minor issue, this utterly implies that whenever an application makes use of openCL GPGPUs,
the programs will run considerable slowly in MAC than in windows !!
My question is: Do you know when will mac reslease these drivers ? Is there any plans for it ? Have they stoped supporting openCL?
Is this a marketing strategy for making users spend about 1000 $ more in other computer with discrete graphics in order to have access
to this accelerated GPGPU programing?

i was chatting with a support person
i dont think he knew what it was talking about
my problem is that i understand that this card was not available before the premiere cc version came out
but fromwhat  i understand afterwards some cards were available for mercury playback accelaration even though they were not certified
the intel hd card is available for use in premiere cc and adobe media encoder cc as well
i just need to know (like the person before me) if there is a way to make my gpu available for that new version now
or if this is something in the works for later

    I can run OpenCL benchmarking tests and they work great, but I still cannot active it in photoshop. 
    Ive tried using sniffer_gpu.exe in the photoshop folder at numerous different times and intervals, (while photoshop is open, after i close it, after a fresh reboot), yet i still cannot get it enabled in photoshop.
    I am exhaused from searching the web for answers and I still cant figure this out.

    Thanks for the reply Chris.  I realize it says unavailable, but the cards do support OpenCL.

  • OpenCL support for Intel HD 4000 Graphics

    I have a colleague who uses a Mac Mini, late 2012 model, with a Intel HD 4000 graphics processor, OS X Mavericks 10.9.3. Even though the processor supports OpenCL, PP CC (2014) does not use the Mercury Playback Engine GPU Acceleration (OpenCL). Can anyone give any feedback, if this is possible, or when this will be possible? Thanks. Peter

  • Lack of support for Canon G7 and G9. Alternatives?

    I am really disappointed about the lack of support for the Canon G9, and looking at the list of compatible cameras (http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=306835) I notice that Canon G7 - even if it does not have a RAW format, is not supported either.
    I am thinking that the purchase of the G9 may have been premature and that I may need to sell it and get another cam that is supported by Apple/Aperture.
    What would you guys do? Is there a cam out there similar to the G9 at the moment that has a Apple-supported RAW format?
    Best regards,
    Kjell Are Refsvik

    I think the camera closest to the G9 that has RAW support from Apple are the Panasonic DMC-LX2/Leica D-Lux 3 twins. Don't know where you are, but in the US, the Panasonic costs about $400. 10MP, 28-112mm (35mm equivalent) Leica lens, very compact body, and RAW output. The Leica costs $599, and has that classic look.
    I don't know much about that cameras, but you may want to investigate.

  • Pagination support for non-Oracle databases?

    Hi,
    I just read this thread (Pagination Support on pagination support. Is there any way to get pagination with non-Oracle databases? We are using an IBM iSeries / AS/400 DB2 database right now, and we're planning to use some local lightweight database in the near future as well (probably Cloudscape/Derby or "IBM Everyplace database".)
    We currently use code like this:
    String sql = "SELECT art FROM Artikel art" +
                /* dynamically generated where statement is added here */
                + "ORDER BY art.artikelNummer";
    Query q = em.createQuery(sql);
    q.setFirstResult(firstResult);
    q.setMaxResults(maxResults);If I look in the TopLink logs, I see queries like this:
    SELECT ARTNR, ARALT, ARAFJ, ARXII, ARAVJ, ARXIV, ARANJ, AHGCD, ARNVJ, ARCRJ, ARARK, ARFKJ, ARTNK, ARGP1, ASGCD, ARGP2, ARPR1, ARGP3, ARPR2, AREX1, ARPR3, AREX2, ARPR4, AREX3, ARASA, ARINA, ASSCD, ARIA1, ARBAN, ARIN1, ARBAV, ARIA2, ARBAK, ARIN2, ARCES, ARIA3, ARCDT, ARIN3, ARCRE, ARIA4, ARCWK, ARIN4, ARHBH, ARIA5, ARDFA, ARIN5, ARDFG, ARIA6, ARDOS, ARIN6, AREPW, ARINN, ARFOD, ARIAS, ARFOE, ARINS, ARFOF, ARNAB, ARFOI, ARNIB, ARFON, ARNIA, ARFOS, ARNN1, ARFTA, ARNA2, ARVIV, ARNO2, ARGAP, ARNN3, ARGPT, ARNA4, ARGPD, ARNO4, ARGPA, ARNN5, ARGPO, ARNA6, ARHIS, ARNN6, ARISP, ARNIO, ARKHM, ARNNS, MAGCD, AROVJ, MTGCD, ARPL1, ARMXM, ARPL2, MRKCD, ARPL3, ARMVR, ARVKJ, ARMIM, ARV12, ARMDT, ARVVJ, ARMTE, AR#VR, ARMTU, ARZLS, ARMTM, ARIAT, ARMWK, ARAVS, MPCCD, ARNVS, ARBTW, ARFJS, ARXI2, ARG2S, ARXI3, ARE1S, ARXI4, ARE3S, ARXI6, ARIB1, ARXI1, ARIB2, ARXI5, ARIB3, AROPI, ARIB4, ARPRV, ARIB5, SZGCD, ARIB6, ARSPC, ARINO, ARSMF, ARIOS, VEAAN, ARNIS, ARSYN, ARNO1, ARVR1, ARNA3, ARV1S, ARNN4, ARVR2, ARNO5, ARV2S, ARNIN, ARVR3, ARNOS, ARV3S, ARP1S, ARTFA, ARP3S, ARTFG, ARS12, ARUVC, ARZLD, ARUCW, ARAJS, ARBKV, ARCJS, ARVVI, ARG3S, ARVVP, ARINB, VPOCD, ARIO2, VPECD, ARIO4, ARVIH, ARIO6, ARVHG, ARNBS, ARVRW, ARNN2, ARVPR, ARNA5, ARVVR, ARNAS, ARVVS, ARP2S, ARVV1, ARSVV, ARZK1, ARNJS, ARNA1, ARNO3, ARIO1, ARNO6, ARIO5, AROJS, ARE2S, ARVJS, ARIBS, ARIAD, ARIO3, ARG1S FROM ART WHERE ((((ARUVC = 'N') AND (ARHIS = 'N')) AND (ASGCD = 7)) AND (AHGCD = 15)) ORDER BY ARTNR ASC
    (Yeah, I know we have too much columns in the table...)
    So, no pagination in the query. As you can see, we have a mechanism in place to dynamically generate a where clause. This is because the user can set filters. The problem is, if our user sets a filter that causes the result set to be significantly smaller, the performance is way better than when he sets no filter at all. We suppose this is because the whole result set is sent to TopLink, regardless of the values of firstResult and maxResults.
    We are using TopLink Essentials 2.1-10, by the way.

    Hi all,
    I'm trying to subclass <tt>DatabasePlatform</tt> to add pagination support for the AS/400 DB2 database of my customer. To be fair, it is not going very well so far.
    The first problem is, the query Chris found by googling (Re: Pagination support for non-Oracle databases?), does not work for AS/400s version of DB2. In fact, although it is called "DB2", the database on the AS/400 system is a whole other database than the "normal" DB2 database that runs on Windows and *nix. The AS/400 DB2 simply does not have a "ROW_NEXT" function.
    Another option would be to use the <b>row_number() over()</b> mehtod. But, as can be read here, this function is only available from version V5R4 of OS/400. And guess what? We're stuck on V5R3 at this client. (We cannot upgrade, because there's an application in use that's written in Delphi and IBM dropped the Delphi binding from V5R4...)
    So I pretty much ran out of options. On the mailing list I linked to above, someone mentions the option to make a sort of stored procedure that generates a row count number. An example of how to do this can be found here. I implemented it, and ended up with this code:
    package com.myclientsname.persistence;
    import java.sql.Connection;
    import java.sql.PreparedStatement;
    import java.sql.ResultSet;
    import java.sql.SQLException;
    import org.eclipse.persistence.expressions.ExpressionBuilder;
    import org.eclipse.persistence.internal.databaseaccess.DatabaseCall;
    import org.eclipse.persistence.internal.expressions.ExpressionSQLPrinter;

    import org.eclipse.persistence.internal.sessions.AbstractSession;
    import org.eclipse.persistence.logging.SessionLog;
    import org.eclipse.persistence.platform.database.DatabasePlatform;
    import org.eclipse.persistence.sessions.SessionProfiler;
    public class AS400Platform extends DatabasePlatform {
        private static final long serialVersionUID = 0L;
        public AS400Platform(){
             super();
             super.setShouldBindAllParameters(false);
        public void printSQLSelectStatement(DatabaseCall call, ExpressionSQLPrinter printer, SQLSelectStatement statement) {
            int max = 0;
            int firstRow = 0;
            if (statement.getQuery()!=null){
                max = statement.getQuery().getMaxRows();
                firstRow = statement.getQuery().getFirstResult();
            if ( !(max>0) && !(firstRow>0) ){
                super.printSQLSelectStatement(call, printer,statement);
                return;
            } else {
                statement.setUseUniqueFieldAliases(true);
                ExpressionBuilder builder = new ExpressionBuilder();
                statement.addField(builder.getField("COUNTER() AS CNTR"));
                printer.printString("SELECT * FROM (");
                call.setFields(statement.printSQL(printer));
                printer.printString(") AS R WHERE R.CNTR >= ");
                printer.printParameter(DatabaseCall.FIRSTRESULT_FIELD);
                if ( max > 0 ){
                    // Use of binding parameters is not allowed here, so use
                    // String concatenation instead...
                    printer.printString(" FETCH FIRST " + max + " ROWS ONLY");
            call.setIgnoreFirstRowMaxResultsSettings(true);
        public boolean wasFailureCommunicationBased(SQLException exception, Connection connection, AbstractSession sessionForProfile){
            if (connection == null || this.pingSQL == null){
                //Without a connection we are  unable to determine what caused the error so return false.
                //The only case where connection will be null should be External Connection Pooling so
                //returning false is ok as there is no connection management requirement
                    //If there is no ping sql then we can not perform the ping.
                return false;
            PreparedStatement statement = null;
            try{
                sessionForProfile.startOperationProfile(SessionProfiler.ConnectionPing);
                if (sessionForProfile.shouldLog(SessionLog.FINE, SessionLog.SQL)) {// Avoid printing if no logging required.
                     sessionForProfile.log(SessionLog.FINE, SessionLog.SQL, getPingSQL(), (Object[])null, null, false);
                statement = connection.prepareStatement(getPingSQL());
                ResultSet result = statement.executeQuery();
                result.close();
                statement.close();
            }catch (SQLException ex){
                try{
                    // Had to add this check because of NullPointerExceptions
                    // (maybe a bug?)
                    if(statement != null){
                        //try to close statement again in case the query or result.close() caused an exception.
                        statement.close();
                } catch (SQLException exception2) {
                    //ignore;
                return true;
            }finally{
                sessionForProfile.endOperationProfile(SessionProfiler.ConnectionPing);
            return false;
    }(As you can see, I had to override the <tt>wasFailureCommunicationBased()</tt> method as well, due to some unexpected NPE's. (A bug, perhaps?))
    This code does work. However, the performance is not very well. The first page comes relatively fast, but as you browse further in the table, each page comes slower. I assume this is because the counter() method has to be evaluated for each row in the table.
    I have to get the performance better and constant. Does anyone have an idea how to optimize this further?

  • Building mesa with OpenCl support [Solved]

    Hi,
    I am trying to use OpenCl with the current mesa drivers as it is explained in this post from freedesktop: GalliumCompute, but when I try to install my own build of mesa with OpenCl it fails due to some conflicting files.
    If we follow the post, we can see that we need:
    - LLVM with '--enable-experimental-targets=R600', but the stable repo already provides this so we are fine.
    - Libclc can be found in AUR: libclc-svn
    - Mesa with '--enable-opencl'. This has to be built manually with ABS adding the flag to the PKGBUILD.
    But when I try to install the generated packages I get an error because there are conflicting files:
    error: failed to commit transaction (conflicting files)
    mesa: /usr/include/CL/cl.h exists in filesystem
    mesa: /usr/include/CL/cl.hpp exists in filesystem
    mesa: /usr/include/CL/cl_ext.h exists in filesystem
    mesa: /usr/include/CL/cl_gl.h exists in filesystem
    mesa: /usr/include/CL/cl_gl_ext.h exists in filesystem
    mesa: /usr/include/CL/cl_platform.h exists in filesystem
    mesa: /usr/include/CL/opencl.h exists in filesystem
    mesa: /usr/lib/libOpenCL.so exists in filesystem
    mesa: /usr/lib/libOpenCL.so.1 exists in filesystem
    mesa: /usr/lib/libOpenCL.so.1.0.0 exists in filesystem
    Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded.
    Checking with 'pacman -Qo' I have found that the headers come from 'opencl-headers' and the shared objects from 'libcl'.
    So, is there a way to install mesa with OpenCl support?
    Thanks in advance.

    Lordheavy's git packages are setup to make switching between mesa-git and mesa easy, so include provides/conflicts/replaces lines in the PKGBUILDs to ease substiution.
    No need to uninstall mesa.
    Mesa is a split package, and you should replace all parts of it.
    If you run pacman -S mesa-git , there should be errors because all parts need to have been build against the same source,
    but i don't know if pacman handles that correctly.
    To be on the safe side, you should tell pacman to install ati-dri-git instead as that will pull the other necessary mesa-git subpackages.
    about the files from opencl-headers & libcl :
    mesa-git incudes opencl-mesa-git which does provide those files, but libclc-git doesn't have opencl-mesa-git as dependency.
    I think the full command you should use is : pacman -S ati-dri-git opencl-mesa-git libclc-git .
    That should pull in all needed pacakges and not give any conflicts.
    Edit :
    The PKGBUILD for LH's mesa-git are in http://pkgbuild.com/~lcarlier/mesa-git/sources/ .
    I looked directly into the sources to verify what i posted above.

  • Yosemite/Aperture 3.6 No Support for Nikon D810/ Raw-S Files ?

    I am thoroughly confused.  I only recently began "drinking the Apple Kool-Aid" and am quite disturbed to learn (after upgrading to Yosemite & Aperture 3.6) that Nikon d810 Raw-S files are NOT supported....
    What gives ?  I mean you pay premium dollars for what is allegedly a premium product (MacBook Pro - Retina latest edition) you have the latest/ greatest software (Yosemite & Aperture 3.6) and the latest/greatest camera (Nikon D810) and one of the file formats is simply "Not supported ?"  Seriously ?? 
    I have had more compatibility issues with Apple and its software since being convinced by all the marketing hype to "drink the Kool-Aid" than I ever had with my ancient Dell XP PC laptop.... 
    Getting back to the point.  Why no Raw-S Support for Nikon d810 ? 
    Will there be support for the Nikon d-810 Raw-S files at some point ? If so, when ? 
    If not, WHY ? 
    What should I do with the 400 photos I took of a high school hockey game in Raw-S format given I am now drinking only the "Apple Kool-Aid?"
    Signed....
    Disgruntled Customer

    Apple can't release it until Nikon supplies them with the required information.
    Apple doesn’t routinely monitor the discussions. These are mostly user to user discussions.
    Send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem solved sooner.

  • OpenCL support on PC?

    Hello.
    I'm in the middle of building a new PC and getting ready for CS6. I was pretty sure that my new gfx card would be the GXT 680 from Nvidia.
    But then I saw this test: http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/geforce-gtx-680-review-benchmark,3161-15.html
    That shows that the new gamer cards from Nvidia is being artificially slowed down in terms of compute performance (I guess to sell more of their expencive Quadro cards)
    Since I like to game as well and I don't want to pay premium price for a Quadro card, the Radeon HD 7970 started to look very sexy to me...and with the new OpenCL support, this was perfect!
    But then I realized that I haven't actually seen anywhere that OpenCL support was for anything other then MAC, and maybe Adobe have some shady deal with Nvidia that prevents them from offering support on PC.
    Anybody know about this?

    There's really absolutely no reason to get bent out of shape at all over this. If you get the GTX 470 card (if you can find one), you'll be getting a card that is not only very affordable but provides every bit of power you probably need for Premiere Pro. As a gaming card, it's absolutely not terrible at all, either.
    If you want a card that balances gaming and video editing capabillities (with Premiere Pro) you're going to be sacrificing something on one side or another. Yes, the chart from Tom's that you referenced does appear to show the even newer cards getting blown out of the water on compute performance but that DOES NOT take into consideration the way that Premiere Pro CS5 and later are leveraging the GPU.
    And it's not an Adobe/Nvidia unholy alliance as you suggest, simply that Nvidia was at the table with Adobe years ago and they work closely together because Nvidia is invested in the workstation graphics/computing marketplace, and AMD sells gamer cards. And while Nvidia would certainly prefer that you purchase a Quadro high-end card, as far as Premiere Pro SPECIFICALLY is concerned, one of the better GTX cards will do you much better for both price and performance.
    This is not an ATI/AMD versus Nvidia thing, and Adobe isn't trying to keep AMD out of the party, it has more to do with the types of GPU and the type of marketplace that each GPU manufacturer is chasing. Adobe and Nvidia working together makes sense because of what the two stand to gain mutually from their chosen market, and AMD/ATI would rather chase the much larger user base of gamers. Still, not saying that their GPUs cannot process the workload that Nvidia cards handle, just that they currently DON'T work the same way.
    If you want brand loyalty and/or gaming peak performance, it sounds like you want an AMD/ATI card. If you want the best performance you can get in terms of Premiere Pro editing (and After Effects, and Photoshop) then you should take the clear advice of Harm, myself and many others, and just get a good Nvidia GTX card.
    Final note....there is a reason that Tom's uses a dozen different tests when comparing computer hardware....it's because different applications process things different ways and different hardware reacts differently across the board. They cannot possibly prove out a real-world scenario for every user. Tom's did use to use Premiere Pro for baseline encoding testing, but that all is pre-2010 when CS5 launched and Premiere Pro begain heavily leveraging the GPU with Mercury Playback Engine. Tom's isn't really incentivized to run a bunch of peculiar tests for a single software package that has a relatively small user base compared to the millions of general computing, business computing and gamer setups. So take that into consideration when using Tom's guides to procure hardware for Premiere Pro CS5 and later.    

  • Plugin with CUDA and OpenCL Support

    Hello there,
    i have a question about implementing a premiere plugin which uses CUDA and OpenCL.
    Unfortunately, the SDK only provides an OpenCL Sample Plugin.
    My first idea was it to create a plugin which only uses OpenCL for GPU acceleration, but then i realized, that Premiere just provides CUDA rendering on NVidia cards. So now i need to support both, OpenCL and CUDA.
    Since i've never implemented a CUDA accelerated program it's not that easy for me to implement such a plugin.
    So how to integrate OpenCL and CUDA support into my plugin? Can somebody help me with a sample project or sample code?
    Or maybe there is a way to force OpenCL rendering for my plugin?
    Regards,
    Jan

    n900 have powerVR SGX 530 and in the fact sheet released by its manufacterer "OpenCL Embedded Profile" is mentioned for all SGX variants. moreover opencl is not listed as a supported technology for n900 on khronos website. thats why im bit confused .
    im asking on nokia forum because i was hoping that someone here had closed touch witch opencl.
    but  thanks for the reply.

  • G4 support for Airport Card alternative?

    Hi all,
    It never dawned on me that there is an alternative to Apple's Airport cards for our systems until recently. I have a G4 dual 1GHz system which houses a hookup for the original airport card; the system also has PCI slots. I have an Airport Extreme Base station and would like to restrict my frequency range to the 5 GHz ONLY (to avoid the crowding of 2.4 GHz range.) So, is it correct to say that my G4 is not tied down to the original airport card but can theoretically use "n" capable WIFI cards via on board PCI or USB? And if so, any you would recommend? Also, how's the software support for it, i.e., drivers, Airport Utility, etc. since the card would be third party and not Apples? Would I get the support from say, Airport Utility as if I had an Apple airport card in there or are there going to be compatibility issues? Many thanks!

    OK, I just found this out:
    http://www.beowulf.org/archive/2001-July/004174.html
    32 bits/33 Mhz : aggregated ideal peak at 132 MB/s
    64 bits/33 Mhz : aggregated ideal peak at 264 MB/s
    And that's shared between all items on the PCI bus.
    It would be interesting to measure the bandwidth on the USB 2 PCI card. I've seen it vary wildly on a G4/400 Mhz Yikes, sometimes dropping to as little as USB 1.1 even with only one USB item connected on an IOGear card. I no longer have access to that machine. That's of course assuming nothing else is sharing the same bus.

  • Support for NVIDIA Tesla C1060 Computing Processor

    I recently discovered that XFDTD, an electromagnetics simulation program, can utilize up to four NVIDA CUDA-enabled graphics cards to reduce computation time by orders of magnitude. While I have a single NVIDIA GeForce GTX 285, I'd be interested in adding one or more TESLA cards to my early 2009 Mac Pro.
    Does anyone have any information on whether or not such a card will be supported in the future? Given that Apple computers are promoted as scientific computing platforms (by Apple and myself), I think supporting such a card is must. I also understand that the manufacturers must provide support for EFI and Apple must write the drivers.
    The biggest advantage the Tesla card provides over the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 285 and Quadro FX 4800 cards is that it has 4 GB of GDDR3 RAM, instead of the 1 GB and 1.5 GB of the other cards respectively.
    http://www.nvidia.com/object/producttesla_c1060us.html
    Also, does anyone know how many NVIDIA GeForce GTX 285 or Quadro FX 4800 cards one can fit into a Mac Pro or if there are any versions that provide 4 GB or memory?

    I would like to avoid the Windows/Dell ghetto, if at all possible. As a Unix and Mac OS X user who has spent much of his career keeping a second computer next to his primary workstation just for simulations, I am no longer interested in continuing that inconvenient and costly paradigm. Indeed, I immediately decided to purchase an XFDTD license simply for its Mac OS X support.
    With that said, I understand that there are GNU/Linux solutions that support the Tesla C1060 Computing Processor, which if a solution does not exist for Apple hardware, would be the next best thing. XFDTD runs in GNU/Linux as well.
    On a related note, I was told that NVIDIA engineers feel that the biggest demand for their Computing Processors is in Linux. If there are NVIDIA employees who might read this, I would like to state that Mac OS X is an extremely competent scientific computing platform and with the addition of OpenCL to the operating system both companies could benefit immensely from compatible Computing Processors. Indeed, if NVIDIA's hardware worked with EFI, I'd have ordered several already.
    In October I plan to build a system to add external cards to a Mac Pro using the GTX 285 for now. Perhaps if I can build a proof-of-concept system, it will generate more interest in brining the C1060 Computing Processor to Apple hardware.

  • VPLS support for SIP-600 and 10GE-SPA

    Hello all,
    is SIP-600 (7600-SIP-600) with Cisco 1-port 10GE SPA V2 (SPA-1X10GE-L-V2) support VPLS ?
    i see in datasheet SIP-600 support for VPLS but in 10GESPA datasheet there is no VPLS features support
    Thanks
    Regards,

    Hello,
    Yes, it should.
    You could check Table 4-9 VPLS Feature Compatibility by SIP and SPA Combination:
    http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/interfaces_modules/shared_port_adapters/configuration/7600series/76cfgsip.html#wp1270728
    There are some restricition about H-VPLS on c7600/SIP, like it could be seen at the "VPLS Configuration Guidelines"
    section of above link. But they are generic for SIP-600 itself:
    – H-VPLS with Q-in-Q edge—Requires a Cisco 7600 SIP-600 in the uplink, and any LAN port or Cisco 7600 SIP-600 on the downlink.
    - H-VPLS with MPLS edge requires either an OSM module, Cisco 7600 SIP-600, or Cisco 7600 SIP-400 in both the downlink (facing UPE) and uplink (MPLS core).
    As for SPAs - restriction is about H-VPLS and FastEthernet one:
    "Note: H-VPLS is not available on Fast Ethernet SPAs"
    http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/interfaces_modules/shared_port_adapters/configuration/7600series/76cfgeth.html#wp1196808

  • Photoshop has detected graphics hardware that is not officially supported for 3d

    From what I've read I thought 512 MB or vRAM would work with 3d. It used to anyhow. I get the pop up that says it's not officially supported for 3d, and has temporarily disabled 3d functionality.

    Anyone have any ideas, or maybe I'm missing something. Nothing like getting an update and it busting what used to work. Dang!

    I can get into the 3d pref area, but not the pull down menu area at all. It's grey'd out now that I did the update.
    I just find it weird that the card is on the approved list, and meets the requirments and used to work. But yeah this mac is a few years old at this point. I'm just hoping that someone at Adobe reads this and can shed some light. I'm hoping maybe there's a button I need to click on, or something cheaper then buying an entire new computer when I really don't think I need to. Photoshop has really bloated up!
