OpenGL Photoshop CS5 and memory management by OSX 10.6
I was able to find out quite a bit about the secrets around this issue - see my post on "NVIDIA Geforce 9400M and Adobe Photoshop/CS5 question".
What I still do not understand is the following Apple-remark (in this case on the 17" PowerBook)
NVIDIA GeForce GT 330M graphics processor with 512MB of GDDR3 memory
Intel HD Graphics with 256MB of DDR3 SDRAM shared with main memory
Memory available to Mac OS X may vary depending on graphics needs. Minimum graphics memory usage is 256MB.
For me as a layman it reads "You buy 512 MB and 256MB of graphic memory but if your programs will get it will be decided by OSX 10.6"
What I am also wondering if there is a utility or a Terminal-input that allows to influence how much OpenGL gets from the regular memory DRAMs.
Since the posting I have had no single problem with my 144MB VRAM - though it is somewhat noticeble that more VRAM would accelarate like when I use complex plugin from NIK or parallel video recording with EyeTV. What I avoid is to work with Photoshop, export downloaded TV-clips with EyeTV AND watch life Television.

Problem with Photoshop CS5. Memory and Hard disk space Mac OSX
Just got CS5 Master Suite. Whenever I open photoshop it takes a ton of memory 1 gig +. When I open files it takes up more and more until it takes up all my memory and hard disk space. I open a simple multi layered file that is 25 megs in size to work on it. Before I know it photoshop is taking 20gigs+ of my hard disk space along with 3+ gigs of system memory. Is there a memory problem in photoshop cs5?
Thanks!
Joseph
UPDATE:
So I just opened the 25 meg file in photoshop cs5 and watched my free space on my hard drive go down 8 gigs the instant I opened it. It went from 27 gigs of freespace to 19 instantly. As I open more files and close others it works till my harddrive goes to zero space... stalls the computer big time. Only way to correct it is to quit photoshop cs5 and wait a few minutes for the space to return... and it takes a few minutes for it all to return.
I am running a Macbook Pro with OSX 10.6., 4 gigs of ram on board.

I need to work with the RAW files on a SONY RX100III camera. I use Photoshop CS5 and a Mac operating system OSX 10.6. Is there an Camera RAW upgrade or an alternative program that works here?
You don't. Since you have an Intel Mac, buy a Mac OS X 10.6 DVD from the online Apple Store.

I have a iMac and i just updated the computer to Yosemite. I have Photoshop CS5 and when I try to print under print size --- manage custom size , photoshop unexpectedly quits every time. I updated the printer drivers (epson 9880) uninstalled and installed all the drivers. restarted computer and it is still doing the same thing. Cant find any costumer service here either except forums.
I have exactly the same problem - Whenever I go to Print, the print widow appears, it thinks about it for a bit (rotating symbol) and then quits.
This is the beginning of the problem details, cut and paste. It goes on much longer than this:

Nvidia Quadro 600, GeForce GTX 560 Ti or cheaper for Photoshop CS5 and Lightroom 3?
Hello,
I am a professional photographer and I am setting up a new PC (i7, Windows 7 64bit). But I have some troubles to choose the graphic card.
I use Lightroom and Photoshop CS5 3, no video editing.
Between the Open GL, Open CL, CUDA accelerations etc ... professional graphic cards models and consumer ones I am lost!
The Nvidia GeForce GTX 560 Ti seems more powerful and more versatile but I tell myself that if Nvidia has professional range there must be a reason.
So in Photoshop CS5 and Lightroom 3 what would be the best: GeForce GTX 560 Ti or Nvidia Quadro 600?
http://www.geforce.com/Hardware/GPUs/geforce-gtx-560ti/specifications
http://www.nvidia.com/object/product-quadro-600-us.html
Any reason to get a Quadro 2000?
http://www.nvidia.com/object/product-quadro-2000-us.html
Or the graphic card doesn’t matter much and I should take an entry-level GeForce to enjoy the HDMI and the silence? Which one then?
Does the Quadro 600 manages 10bits display 10bits? And the Geforce?
Any change announced with Photoshop CS6 and Ligthroom4?
The only 3D application I use is Google Earth in 3D mode, does it make any difference?
Thank you for your help.You say "no video editing"... If that's going to be the case, and you won't use the Mercury engine in the Adobe Premiere Pro package, which needs the nVidia Cuda subsystem, then I recommend you consider the ATI brand over nVidia.
Why?
Because while neither brand's developers (ATI or nVidia) always release perfect drivers, I find ATI display drivers to be of consistently higher quality than that of nVidia releases. What this means to you is generally fewer crashes or quirks. ATI has also traditionally supported older cards into the future better than nVidia - this might matter to you in a few years.
People ask me what video card I would recommend, and right now that would be a VisionTek ATI Radeon HD 6670 1 GB GDDR5 card. I like this particular card because:
I've had 100% success with VisionTek cards in a number of different systems, not only initially but they have all run as long as I have used them, without ever breaking down.
The 6670 model uses very little power (under 70 watts) and as such doesn't stress your computer's power supply, need a separate power connection, nor make a lot of fan noise.
It's not the fastest card made for 3D gaming, but it's inexpensive and excellent for Photoshop. No matter what you choose, you should get a card that scores over 500 on the Passmark GPU benchmark, ideally over 1000: http://www.videocardbenchmark.net/
The ATI Catalyst display driver implementations for the 4670/5670/6670 line of cards have been good and solid.
1 GB of on-card memory seems to be a good size, even for editing a lot of images, and GDDR5 memory provides faster access than DDR3.
You should know that besides using Photoshop heavily, I also develop OpenGL-based software as well, so I have some additional insight into driver implementations.

Photoshop CS5 and Epson 9900, Win 7, 64bits
Hi,
I recently upgraded from photoshop cs3 to cs5 and now all of my prints on epson 9900 large format printer come out too dark. The same pictures printed with cs3 look good but not on cs5. How can I fix it? Is there a patch for this issue on Adobe website? Just to clarify: same image printed on CS3 looks good but printed with CS5 looks too dark. It can't be the printer driver issue since there is one driver for both version of Photoshop (6.62, most recent).
I have Photoshop CS5 and Epson 9900, Windows 7, 64bits.
I have "Photoshop manages colors" selected and "no color management" for printer - I know the proper set up, I've been doing this for quite some time, so it's definitely not the settings issue or media profile issue. Well, the same settings are use with CS3 and CS5 but results are different, that's why I think it's photoshop's fault. If I can't print color managed prints than CS5 is useless to me.
Any ideas? I have seen post reg. this but no solution and they go back few years back. Has Adobe finally addressed the issue?
Please, help.
Peter,

http://www.abovesigns.net/Hi Chris,
I have the latest patch 12.0.4 but it does not solve the problem. What kind of "user error" are you talking about? As I stated before: I use the same settings in both version of PS: photshop manages color, printer profile: my canvas media profile, BPC: on. In print settings: mode: custom (off, no color adjustment), media type: my canvas type. There is no room for "user error" here.
As for driver bugs: are you referring to Epson driver? I have the latest driver v6.62. What else can I do? Did i skip something?
Well, of course I'm using Windows (64bits), so I guess there is lots of room for error there, right , but I don't think it's OS since it prints fine in CS3 but not in CS5.
Any suggestions will be appreciated. -
I have Photoshop CS5 and am trying to download the Camera Raw Plug in that will allow me to open images taken with a D800 camera .
It appears the download has been successful when I look in my " Downloads " Folder but I still get a message up saying the installed version of Camera RAW won't support the Camera model ( i.e. D800 ) . What am I missing ??
Tony FletcherYou need to download and install Camera Raw 6.7.1 for CS5. Once you have downloaded it, you need to install it while CS5 is closed.

I have Photoshop CS5, and use windows XP. I cannot open bridge from photoshop, which I have done for years. When I am in Photoshop, when it opens, I always click on the bridge icon at the bottom of the screen and it puts me into bridge. This is not happening, the small wheel at the bottom of the screen just keeps spinning. Its like its stuck or caught in a loop. I can't get into bridge. I tried shutting down and starting up again but the problem remains. Looking for help. Dan
Thanks for your response, I was able to open bridge from File-Browse in Bridge. This worked, but was not able to go back to the way I always opened Bridge. At least I could get to Bridge and go into Camera Raw. I never tried to open Bridge from the Start menu. The odd thing about this is, it has happened before, and to get it "unstuck" and working again, I would shut down and restart again in a few minutes, and things would go back to normal. This time it did not go back to normal after several attempts. I shut down for about 3-4 hours, restarted, and it seems to be back to normal again. I am not sure if it's a problem that is getting worse each time it happens. And yes I am using Mini Bridge in photoshop CS5. Thank you for your help. Dan

PNG files can only be RGB - they are intended for screen viewing. If your intention is to produce a CMYK file for printing, you must use a different format, like tiff.

Any ideas?
My student has been using Lightroom 4 with Photoshop CS5 on her Mac for well over a year. Because of the difference between the Camera raw version available to her in Photoshop CS5 and the raw process in Lightroom 4, she has been exporting her raw images from Lightroom and choosing the "Render using Lightroom option when it popped up in the dialogue box. She has been doing this for over a year and a half without any problem. Today when she hit Command E no dialogue box appeared and the image just opened in Photoshop. I'm concerned that all of her Lightroom edits are not being rendered to Photoshop. Anyone have an idea as to how we can get the "Render using Lightroom" dialogue back?

I redownloaded my Photoshop CS5 and Camera Raw will not accept my RAW files nor will the Adobe Bridge display the picture view of these files.

How can I get it to display these photos in Bridge and open them in RAW?

I have Photoshop CS5 and my image processor and batch tool are gone. How do I get them back?
I went into edit preference and all the start up scrips are selected so what else is there?When you installed CS5, you have a chance to register it. If you do, your serial number is on file under your Adobe (My Products). If you did not, you have no serial number on file and even worse, no proof you own it.
You do not have your serial number copied down anywhere? Hard to believe you tossed the dvd box and all the documents away.
So Help > Register might give you a chance to do this without you knowing the number.

I have Photoshop CS5 and a Nikon D 810 camera. I have downloaded Camera Raw 8.8 & DNG converter. I can neither open the raw files (.nef), nor process them with the DNG converter. What is going wrong? Thanks!
This is the last paragraph from my very first response to you, post #1 in this thread:
…Additionally, you need to install the DNG Converter, not just "download" it, and you need to launch it and run it on each folder of NEFs you wish to convert to raw DNGs. [emphasis added]
