Photoshop CS5: Big Tiles or Not?

Wondering if some of you experimented with tile size settings retouching LARGE photo-illustrations: 1-2 GB size on disk, 4-10 GB size in memory, 30-50 layers, complex: Tall AND Big!
There seems to be a lot of conflicting information out there.
I read most of them and was wondering about your personal experience.
Do you get better performance with smaller or larger tiles?
This does NOT apply to your average Joe photo and I'm looking for tested scenarios not generic info.
Thanks a bunch!
My Specs:
CS5, Win 7 64bit, 16GB Ram, 3.2 Ghz AMD Quad

No, ACR hasn't "changed"...the fact is that because of QE, packaging and other Creative Suite requirements, Camera Raw 6 (the one that ships WITH CS5) is already out of date...ACR 6 was done months ago. ACR 5.7 was literally just released a week or so ago and has camera support ACR 6 doesn't have.
John Nack has already indicated there will be an update to ACR to version 6.1 which include all the cameras that 5.7 support (like the 550) and any new cameras that they were able to support.
The EXACT same situation occurred last time with CS4. Photoshop CS4 was released with ACR version 5.0 which didn't support all the cameras that ACR 4.6 supported even though they were released almost the same time. It wasn't long until ACR 5.1 came out.
In the mean time, DNG Converter 5.7 WILL convert the 550 CR2s to DNGs that ACR 6 can read...
And ALL of this camera support bullcrap would be moot if Nikon and Canon quite using proprietary raw file formats instead of a standard.

  • Photoshop CS5.1 Extended: Could not complete your request because there are too many Files Open

    I saved a file last night and now this morning I get an error message stating: "Photoshop CS5.1 Extended: Could not complete your request because there are too many Files Open. Try closing some windows and try again.". I've rebooted the system and made sure Photoshop was the only program running and that there were no other files open prior to trying to open my file. I increased Photoshops ram usage, checked the OpenGL settings, 3D and VRAM settings, cleared my temp files and am at a loss for opening this file.
    System Specs:
    Win 7 64
    6 core I7 processor
    32gb Ram
    3GB VRAM
    600gb free space on 7200 rpm drive
    File specs:
    1 3D object replicated maybe 5 times (yes, I should have rasterized them, and will do that to 4 of them if I get the file open)
    Maybe 8 textures
    Not sure how many total layers.
    Is there anyway to get Photoshop to reopen this file?

    No, more VRAM is useless. I had the same thought as you so I tried with a friend's computer with 3GB of VRAM for 8GB RAM (mine has 1GB VRAM for 16GB RAM). Still got the same error message. Sorry guys but our files are lost until Adobe fix the error in Photoshop code. I hope in the future they will find a way to either fix this error or give a clear limitation, it is really a shame such a dangerous problem exists and persists for more than 3 photoshop gen.
    Still you may be able to have at least a flat image of your latest file by trying to open the file as smart object. I started my work over by doing that. Not a lot but better than nothing.
    However for my new file I am trying something different : Each time I think a 3D file is final, I do not rasterize it but make it into a smart object and save the new smart object into a single separated .psd file. If any change is needed I can still edit all of my 3D objects by opening them separately. So far it works, the global file is lighter with few to no 3D objects inside but I will not say it is a 100% no-risk method yet.
    Last advice I can give everyone : Before closing the file you are working on, save it as a copy (File / Save as... and check 'As copy' in the options below) then with your main file still open, try to open the copy. You may need a lot of memory if your file is heavy but still if the dreaded error message appears when you try to open the copy then remove or rasterize some 3D objects in your main one. Save again as copy and try to open the copy until you do not get the message anymore.

  • Photoshop CS5 64 bit will not open in windows 8

    PS CS5 will not open in windows 8 (neither will lightroom install)

    I am also having the same issue. I have Adobe Photoshop CS5.1.  The program worked fine in Windows 7 64bit. I recently upgraded laptops to a Samsung with Windows 8 - 64bit.  After full install program will not run/open.  Here is what I have tried to no avail:
    Right Click Photoshop.exe file > Properties > Compatibility Tab >
    Run Compatibility Troubleshooter > Troubleshoot Program >
    Checked box that reads: The program worked on earlier versions of Windows but will not install or run >
    NEXT > Selected Windows 7 for last version program ran on > NEXT >
    Test the Program button > NEXT > No this did not help, report the issue to Microsoft >
    Check for more solutions >  Issues Found with Yellow Exclamation Point - "Incompatible Program Detected" >
    CLOSE
    No other options have worked either. Ive tried compatibility for Windows XP SP2 and SP3 and neither of those worked either.
    I really do not want to pay to upgrade already - how can this be fixed??

  • Photoshop CS5 and CS6 does not start. Windows 7

    I am using Photoshop CS5 as well as CS6, 64-bit on Windows 7. Since the last few days, I noticed that Photoshop would take a very long time to start (earlier it used to start within few seconds). Today, I found that both the Photoshop versions do not start at all. Nothing happens when I click the short-cut on the Task Bar. Neither do they start through the Start Menu. Why does this happen and what is the solution?

    Have you tried using the task manager to see if Photoshop is hung and look at your windows reliability history to see if Photoshop CS5 an CS6 are crashing?

  • Photoshop CS5 64-bit does not detect Video Card

    I just updated from CS4 to CS5. I have a core i7 with an ATI HD 5700 series graphics card with the most recent driver 10.9. Photoshop is also updated to 12.0.1. For some reason, only the 64-bit version does not detect the graphics card. Photoshop CS4 64-bit and Photoshop CS5 32-bit see the graphics card fine. I noticed a few others have had the same issues. Has this problem been addressed yet? If not, is there a workaround?

    It's a recently-reported issue with Catalyst 10.9 on the Radeon 57xx.

  • Photoshop CS5 Materials- downloaded, but not showing in Repousse

    When working in Repousse, the Material selection is small.  If you go to 3D>Browse 3D Content Online, it takes you to a Photoshop.com page where you can download new materials.  I downloaded the materials and installed into my CS5 Presets>Materials folder.  When I reopen Photoshop CS5, not seeing new materials.  Using the 64 bit version, I tried the Plugin folder also.  They are .p3m files and one material extension file, see pict below.  I am interested in the glass and metal materials.
    Suggestions?

    ANSWERED-
    Nevermind, found them.  Its a small arrow on my LARGE wide screen monitor.  Click arrow, can change materials!!

  • Photoshop CS5 12.01 updater - Not Found!

    Hi People,
    This might seem really barmy! But I am trying to download the first Adobe update (12.01) for Photoshop CS5 Extended for Mac. only to find, sorry, can't find the download anywhere here on Adobe's site.
    Can anyone help? I have looked in the downloads section, and it tells you what the fixes are, but the link leads nowhere!
    Thanks
    Simon

    So are you saying I can update from version 12.0 to 12.04 in one step? I thought you had to update in increments, 12.01 > 12.02 > 12.03 > 12.04.
    I did try to use the 12.04 updater to update my 12.0 but it failed, not giving any other reason other than "Installation Failed".
    Any ideas?
    Thanks again

  • Photoshop CS5 Issues & Mini Bridge Not Working In CS5

    I have Photoshop Issues:
    Mainly with copy & paste tools after a short period of time, tools start to function incorrectly for example.. Copy & Paste when working with identical images & wishing to select a part of the image to paste directly on top off the identical image they do not align up pixel by pixel I zoom a 100% in to see and ifs off shifted by 1 pixel out If I move it into place it jumps 2 pixels to the left and if I move to the right again 2pixels. I can't get it in the precise place
    it normaly happens after Ive made a couple of pastes.. till I end up having to close & restart photoshop to get it functioning correctly. Is this a bug or am I using it indifferent.
    Also the Clone stamp tool stops functioning after using the copy and paste tool after short periods. Example I copy then paste a selected part of the image back into the image then wish to the clone stamp tool to get the correct texture right.
    And last issue is.. Mini bridge does not load I click browse images & it states "Waiting for bridge CS5.." ? Nothing happens
    Windows Xp Media Centre Edition: (Service Pack 3)

    It's worth checking to see if the "jumping" problem you have is because Snap is enabled.  Snap causes Photoshop to try to auto-align things for you, and can look much as you've described.  Check the View menu to see if Snap is checked.  If so, either uncheck it, or hold the Control key down when you are moving things that you wish to align without snap.
    Also, keep in mind that with the Move tool selected, you can "Nudge" a layer by one pixel at the current zoom level by using the arrow keys on the keyboard.
    Can you list specific steps to reproduce the Clone tool failure?  It might also be helpful for you to capture your screen showing the current state of the image, layers, and settings at the time you're seeing the Clone tool fail to work as you expect.  You may have a setting wrong that someone will be able to see.

  • Photoshop CS5 Refine Radius tool not working

    Hi, I'm following along the Classroom in a Book CS5 Photoshop book and when I try to use the Refine Radius tool in the Refine Mask dialog box and try to paint with it to refine the edges of the black hair model, the paint strokes do not hold. The painting works but then the action is basically undone. Followed all the instructions to a T, but saw the same problem when I tried it on another photography yesterday too.
    Any tips as what I'm doing wrong?

    Thanks but no. It's not the spacebar. The handtool works fine in Illustrator

  • Photoshop CS5.5 type tool not working after OS X 10.7.3 update

    Hi All
    Weird one ...
    The first thing I noticed was that I could not use the type tool to create 'live' text on a layer. With the type tool selected I get the following error message when clicking to begin typing:
    "Could not complete your request because of a programme error."
    I quit Photoshop then attempted to launch the application by opening the file. The application opened but the file wouldn't, giving the same error message.
    I quite Photoshop again and relaunched the application from the Dock. The applicatiuion opens fine but displays the same error message (before I have attempted to open a file).
    With a file open I checked the type palette, where the dafault typeface is shown as Myriad Pro, but the default settings are:
    Type size: 1pt
    Linefeed (leading): 1pt
    Kerning: 1
    Tracking 1
    Type height: 0%
    Type width: 0%
    Baseline shift: 0
    Colour: black
    Language: multiple
    Type quality: none
    Some odd settings there. The type tool bar (at the top of my display) has blank fields. Typing desired values into any of these fields doesn’t resolver the issue.
    I have tried restarting, creating a new file but to no avail. The type tools in Illustrator and InDesign are working as expected, so it would appear to be a Photoshop problem and I’m stumped ... any ideas?
    Thanks in advance

  • Windows 7 / Photoshop CS5 64-bit installation not working

    I think I've followed all the instructions, and I've looked at many previous posts about the same problem, but I'm having no success.  I've tried the Run as Administrator upon right clicking the Program Files (x86)>Adobe>Adobe Extension Manager CS5>Adobe Extension Manager CS5.exe file both before and after the no-permission window shows up.  Even before double clicking on the mxp file.  When I click OK to close the no-permission window, the installation seems to run, but nothing ever shows up.
    Maybe I'm doing something silly, but I can't seem to make it work.

    Did you right-click Extension Manager CS5, select "Run as administrator," and then open the Pixel Bender plugin extension by selecting "Install Extension" from Extension Manager's File menu and navigating to the Pixel Bender plugin extension?

  • Photoshop CS5 Color Replacement Tool Not Replacing White

    I am trying to remove some sparkling from hair in an image.  I am attempting to use the Color Replacement Tool.  However, I am not having success, and I don't know why.
    The hair is a dark greenish color, which I used the eyedropper to sample as the foreground color.  Although, in practice, it doesn't matter what color I pick.
    My understanding is that you set the color you want as the foreground color.  Then, on the color replacement tool, you set the cross hairs on the color you want to have replaced (in this case, the white specks, since I want t turn the white into green).
    What happens instead is that the hair changes color, but the white specs remain.
    I have tried the different sampling approaches (Continuous, Sampling Once, Swatch), but no effect.  My mode is color, and other modes have made no difference.  Limits are Continuous, and Tolerance has run the gamut from 5% to 90%.
    What the heck am I doing wrong?
    Sample attached.
    Thanks,
    Steve

    In my opinion Image > Adjustments > Relpace Color and Color Replacement Tool are basically worthless for professional work.
    But I wonder if you mix the two up.
    And, if I understand correctly, they are intended to change the Color while leaving Luminance unaffected, so they would not seem ti provide your intended results.
