Photoshop cs5 with 128 graphic card

Hi
I am thinking of getting Photoshop cs5, but the minimum graphic card spec is 256mb or something like that. I only have 128mb. I think this is the only thing that does not match up to Photoshop. It says something about open GL but not sure what this is and if I have it. I think the mac is about two and a half years old the first silver iMac. Is it ok to use the iMac with cs5 even though the graphics is not good enough? Will it do any harm to the computer or will it just be a bit slow? Is the graphic spec so high because of the 3d options photoshop has and if I used it mainly for photography rather than graphics will it would be ok to use Photoshop? Thanks for any help

If your computer doesn't meet the minimum specifications then at best the performance would be horrible and may not run CS5 at all. Your 3.5 year old iMac probably should be upgraded to a new iMac. Assuming your computer is still in pretty good shape you could sell it (Macs have good resale value) and use the money towards a new machine. Another avenue to look at is Apple's refurbished iMacs, these are a great value and come with the same warranty as a new machine and are eligible for AppleCare. The inventory changes very quickly sometimes several times a day so if you are interested visit: http://store.apple.com/us/browse/home/specialdeals/mac?mco=OTY2ODY3Nw

Problems with Photoshop CS6 Recognizing Multiple Graphics Cards

Hi,
I have a quad monitor setup with two graphics cards with the latest drivers downloaded today and installed directly off of the manufacturer's websites:
1) AMD Radeon R9 200 Series 4GB GDDR5
2) NVIDIA GeForce GTX 460 1GB GDDR5
I have Photoshop CS6 64-bit (along with the rest of the Adobe Design and Web Premium) installed on my computer - which I uninstalled and reinstalled today also - and it's claiming that it has detected an error with my display driver. The Graphics Processor Settings box in Preferences is greyed out, and I've used the shift+ctrl+alt to reset preferences and check again to no avail. I've also set both of my graphics cards to turn on OpenGL Triple Buffering and to let the 3D application decide the image settings. Here's my system info, where you can see that the GPU sniffer crashed and that no video card is detected:

Yes Adobe states if you use more then one GPU adapter they should be the same else Photoshop may have problems. Photoshop CC and CC 2014 GPU FAQ
Are you using more than one video card?
Multiple video adapters can cause problems with GPU-accelerated or enabled features in Photoshop. It's best to connect two (or more) monitors into one video adapter. If you have to use more than one video adapter, make sure that they are the same make and model.
Otherwise, crashes and other problems can occur in Photoshop.
Note: Using more than one video adapter does not enhance Photoshop's performance.

...Photoshop CS4 now includes graphic card acceleration..

Every time I open my Photoshop CS4 I get the following pop-up:
When I load an image file I get this pop-up and my Photoshop closes:
I am running Vista and have had CS4 since it first came out, and never encountered any problems.I have a NVIDIA GeForce 7100 that is up to date, and GPU acceleration is enabled in my Photoshop.
If anybody can suggest what might be going on and how I could fix that, I would greatly appreciate it!

I'd start by resetting the photoshop cs4 preferences:
Press and hold the Shift+Ctrl+Alt keys just after starting the launch of photoshop cs4.
Keep holding the keys down until you get a dialog asking if you want to Delete the adobe photoshop settings file.
Press Yes because you do.
In that dialog about graphics card acceleration, you can check Don't Show Again
If resetting the preferences doesn't solve the issue, try turning off Enable Open GL Drawing and restarting photoshop cs4
If that works, then most likely something has gone awry with your graphics card driver.
(you might have to reinstall the graphics card driver)
Double check the Nvidia website to be sure you have the latest graphics card driver updates

Apple Cinema Display 23-inch with PCI graphics card on a PC...?

My wife has a Dell Dimension 2400 PC along with a Mac G4. The Mac will obviously drive the 23-inch display with no problem, but the PC has on-board graphics which are awful. The only improvement is via a PCI graphics card, and a KVM switch (using the DVI interface on both Mac and PC). Does anyone know of an inexpensive PCI graphics card which will cope with the 23-inch display? Gaming is not on the list of priorities, but page layouts for posters and small (8-page) brochures is what it's needed for.
The Dell's operating suystem is XP Professional, and the G4's is Tiger. Thanks for any help.

I got the blue&white G3 w SDRAM/6GB.
do you think http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00DC1P8VA/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1& smid=A1EF9OE38VX40W
will solve this? I believe I need a DVI-D female to VGA male adapter?
That adapter is for connecting a VGA display to a computer's DVI port.
If your computer has the ATI Rage 128 graphics card it will have one DVI port and one VGA port. It won't run both ports simultaneously.
If the display has a DVI plug, plug it into the computer's DVI port. No special cable or adapter is needed, but the computer may not support the resolution of the 23".
If the display uses ADC (Apple Display Connector)

I accepted/installed an update for iMovie and it turns out that this version is not compatible with my graphics card. So now I can no longer open or use iMovie. Any ideas on how to get around this - how to revert to the previous version.

Look in your Applications folder. If your system behaved as expected, you should have an iMovie 9.0 folder in your Applications folder. Apple moved the old version there as even they suspected the new versions was a train wreck.

Just upgraded to 10.8.4 and now can't open canon raw files in photoshop cs5 with camera raw plug in 6.7

i've just upgraded to os 10.8.4 and now i can't open canon raw files in photoshop cs5 with camera raw plug in 6.7 which worked perfectly prior to the upgrade....anyone else encountered this issue?

Adobe's software is a mess in terms of the fact that it's sprayed all over the place and may not survive an OS upgrade. Try reinstalling Photoshop CS5.

Photoshop CS4 and 2 graphic cards

I have a Apple pro last model with 2 graphic cards:
1) ATI RADEON HD 2600 XT
2) NVIDIA G FORCE 8800 GT
I need 2 video cards since i do work with 4 monitors all togheter (i'm a photogrpaher and video maker).
The huge problem is that PS CS4 seems to not support OpenGL using 2 cards.
If i disconnect the montiors connected to one video card (no metter which one) i can use OpenGL capabilites, but with 4 monitors i cannot.
Any idea/help and hopefully solutions?
Thanks in advance

Marcog,
Yes. I knwo
for sure. Read my reply. I went through all sorts of testing when CS4 was released. YOU MUST demount the card to fully test. Apple's video drivers are messed up. Only demounting a card will clear up their confusion. Needing identical video cards may be a hard pill to swallow, but that doesn't make it any less true.
I have first-hand experience here with my system. When CS4 was released I was running 2-nVidia7300 Cards. Limited GL features and known crash issues with those cards. I purchased 1 nVidia 8800 card and installed it. So, at that point I was running 1-7300 and 1-8800, GL was not avaialble at all. Installing the AllowOldGPUs plug in allowed GL but there was constant crashing. I then bit the bullet and purchased a second 8800 card. Today, 2-nVidia 8800 Cards, all GL features, including advanced drawing, are supported and I have not had a crash since.
If you do a simple Google search you'll also find other places where users are reporting crashes and in almost all cases where video cards are discussed, they are running two non-identical cards. In several of the cases they report experiences similar to mine, where installing identical cards corrects all issues.
Ramon, with all due respect, has no direct experience and is simply basing his reply on technical documents and hearsay.
If you choose not to beleive me, thats obviously your perogative. However, I've been there, done that. It's now up to you to sort it yourself if you won't listen to others.
As for noone else reporting this.. perhaps the following thread may assist you if you'd rather not search yourself.

Ramon,
The bumblebee isn't supposed to be able to fly either.
Here:
3 monitors, 2-nVidia 8800 Cards.
Card1 = 30" Apple Cinema, and 20" Apple Cinema
Card2 = 24" Dell Ultrasharp
I can move a document window to any of the three monitors and rotate the canvas, zoom, pan, and all the juicy GL stuff without a problem.
I would guess that the tech note is more of a safety net, possibly? All I know is it works here with two cards and there are no issues (provided the cards are identical).

How to disable the printer's color management in Photoshop CS5 with Mavericks?

Hi there, does anyone know how to disable the printer's color management in Photoshop CS5 with Mavericks? There doesn't seem to be an option. Could you help? Many thanks

Just select Photoshop Manages Color, and the printer driver color options should be disabled.

Which mac mini should i go for: the one with AMD graphic card or Intel. I meanly going to use it for hometheater and HD movies.

which mac mini should i go for: the one with AMD graphic card or Intel. I meanly going to use this for hometheater and HD movies.

Intel HD 3000 graphics card can easily handle HD movies up to 1080p. But if you are looking at higher resolutions possibly 4k or 8k that are being released this summer in new TV's, I would go with the AMD card. The AMD card would be good for video and picture applications and also games. But if this is strictly to power your 1080p home theater setup then the choice is obviously the Intel HD 3000.

Problem with discrete graphic card and DirectX 11

If I try any application to launch with discrete graphic card (nvidia geforce 740m) that using directx 11 it always crashes.
There no problems with directx 9 on on this graphic card.
There are no problems with integrated graphic card whether application using directx 9 or 11. Problem occurs only with discrete graphic card and directx 11.
The things that i did:
- Reinstall Windows
- Install latest driver updates (I also tried to uninstall latest and install recomended driver downloaded from the oficial HP support 'driver download' web page)
- different options on nvidia control panel 3d settings page
I also tried microsoft 'Direct3D Tutorial Win32 Sample' source code to build and debug. It is failed in function IDXGISwapChain:resent with code DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_REMOVED and ID3D10Device::GetDeviceRemovedReason returns DXGI_ERROR_DRIVER INTERNAL_ERROR.
Is there any chance that is not hardware malfunction?

@Enegue ,
Hello and thank you for posting on the HP support forum. In your situation I would consider keeping with Directx 9. The reason I say this is your notebook is not a performance gaming machine. It is designed to be fore general use.
Some cards will notice issues when upgrading to direct 11 from a lower level.
Not to mention with your notebook you will want to stick with the drivers only provided from the HP support site. They are proprietary for the notebook and could be the reason why the directx 11 is not working.
Here is the link to your systems supported drivers.

Problem with nvidia graphic card, nvlddmkm.sys

I have a HP m9000 , originally it had Vista, it started to fail and display the error nvlddmkm.sys (on a blue screen od death), i intalled Windows 8 in hope the problem get resolve. but the problem still persist. At the beginning on W8 it looks like working fine, but suddenly it started to display "controller not responding", and then it is displayin "Something goes wrong with your graphic card".
I found on internet a fix; expanding the nvlddmkm.sy_ and replace the file in system32. i made it but right now after the windows logon screen the monitor starts to blink between black screen and off screen.
The grapghic card is a NVIDIA 8500 GT. I tested the graphic card in other computer, and at the begining it worked fine, but after the dirver installation it started to fail in the same way.
Ad far i could read on intetrnet it is a failure with NVIDIA.
Is there any solution for this problem? Or i should change the graphic video card? (Maybe for an ATI)

Hi,
I have used many different NVIDIA cards (including a 8600) on different PCs and never had your issue.
As for drivers, you can always use the original drivers that came with your PC and then do an update if necessary.

You might want to check this thread. Some have had success with CS5 on Windows 8, others not so lucky.
