Please advise a novice computer artist on system requirements for large files in PS ?

I am researching my next computer.
I am an artist currently using CS2 to rework my paintings into prints.
http://s719.photobucket.com/albums/ww198/blueridernz/Rachel%20Thompson%20Portfolio/?albumv iew=slideshow
The paintings have been scanned at a high resolution and are 500MB.
The image files I work with are large but the process simple, I am extracting and collaging.
Nothing too technical here.
As I will be printing large, 9' x 4', the end result file could be 2GB which I understand is the limit for PSD files.
I am not gaming or editing video files, just working with large images.
From what I have read I believe I need
i7 Core
12 GB RAM set of 3
GeForce GTX 460
Any advice truly appreciated,
Rachel.

The graphics card is perhaps a bit of overkill, if you really just paint and touchup in PS. A less power hungry and cheaper model would do just fine. The rest should do just fine, but keep in mind that all this is not going to do much good if you don't get a 64bit operating system and possibly also upgrade to CS5 to make use of all these resources. You might not even be able to install CS2 under Windows 7...

    Hello,
    Can you please advise me as to the recommended system requirements for Adobe CC for Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, and Dreamweaver (all 4 programs). I'm hoping this is summarized somewhere rather than making me look up and compare all four. I'll be using a windows based PC, and will need a graphics card that can support at least two monitors.

  • Does my computer meet the system requirements for Adobe Photoshop CS5 Extended?

    I am planning to buy Adobe Photoshop CS5 Extended but I have tried to understand if my computer 's system is enough for the software. Please help me, the Adobe requirements I am unsure of are in bold and my system is in italics (My laptop is an Acer Aspire 5715Z):
    Windows
    Intel® Pentium® 4 or AMD Athlon® 64 processor - Intel Pentium Dual CPU T2330  (Should be higher than Pentium 4???)
    1024x768 display (1280x800 recommended) with qualified hardware-accelerated OpenGL graphics card, 16-bit color, and 256MB of VRAM - display is no problem, Mobile Intel GL960 Express Chipset with Integrated 3D graphics, featuring Intel Graphics Media Accelerator X3100 with up to 358 MB of Intel Dynamic Video Memory Technology 4.0)
    Some GPU-accelerated features require graphics support for Shader Model 3.0 and OpenGL 2.0 - I haven't got a clue what to look for.
    Thank you for all help!
    Jen

    Brand:
    Acer
    Mfr Part Number:
    Aspire 5715Z
    RAM Size:
    2 GB
    Processor Brand:
    Intel
    Processor Speed:
    1.6 GHz
    Processor Type:
    Pentium
    Hard Drive Size:
    80 GB
    Operating System:
    Windows Vista Home Premium
    Screen Size:
    15.4 inches
    That's from the Acer website.
    It IS a pentium processor, but I see nothing to indicate if it's 64bit. I'm guessing it's 32. CS5 works best in a 64 bit environment, that's my personal opinion. I've used it in both and 64 outperforms 32.
    2Gb of Ram will cause some performance issues too. If your aspire can be bumped up to 4Gb do that first.
    80Gb of HD with Vista and I don;t kow how much other software and files you have, but it isn't a lot these days. I had a Toshiba with an 80Gb drive and I lasted about three months before I HAD to put a 250Gb in it. Once I had Vista Ultimate, CS4 Master Collection, Office 2007, Roxio Creator 10 and about 4 Gb of websites. I had to connect an external drive for my Photoshop files because I had about 6Gb left on the drive.
    It will run (in 32bit mode) but with the "factory" specs, it will run slower and you may experience issues with it freezing up on large files (2Gb or bigger).

  • My computer fulfills the system requirements for Adobe AIR but I am getng a no mssg

    My computer fulfills the requirements for Adobe AIR but Adobe Installer gives me a message that says I can't install because my computer does not have the system requirements.

    That's circular reasoning. Without knowing the exact specs of the computer, this is not going anywhere. You could be overlooking something simple.

  • System Requirements for FCPX

    Hi, can anyone please tell me that what are the system requirements for installing Final Cut Pro X in iMac, PowerMac, Mac mini, Mac book ...??
    Thankio

    FCP X is availabe as a fully functional FREE  30 day trial from here http://www.apple.com/finalcutpro/trial/
    If you download it you will be able to see exactly how it behaves on your equipment, which is probably more important than all the technical bumf in the world.

  • Could Adobe please advise if they will be adding tethering support for Nikon D600

    Could Adobe please advise if they will be adding tethering support for Nikon D600 as it is instrumental to our decison regarding purchase.
    Many thanks

    Nobody is happy with the answer about old software not getting updated with new cameras, but if you look into it, Adobe had to lay off about half their employees over the past few years to keep the company viable in the declining economy, so they don’t have extra people to update and test plug-ins for non-current versions, and if they did, then some people wouldn’t buy the newer version and they’d have even less money.
    Adobe has only just gotten the D600 supported for raw format in their current beta version of LR, which affects everyone with a D600, and if they had to wait for Nikon for supply and SDK and also have to prioritize their work to keep things on schedule, tethering is likely to lag behind raw-file support for any particular camera.  Apple controls their entire computer environment, hardware and software, so it’s not surprising they can implement tethered capture from day one, but Adobe must figure things out for OSes they don’t own, both Mac and PC, so they rely on waiting for Nikon to do things for them, and then figuring out how to get it to work.
    Well boo hoo for Adobe ... life sure is tough for them ... if they can't handle the load maybe they should get out of the business of software development ... They can't be all that worried about revenue to support Lightroom development or they wouldn't have reduced the price of the full version by 50% and the upgrade price by 20% ... it was a less than smart move considering they have been bragging for the past couple of years about how many more folks use Lightroom vs. other competitive options ...
    Aperture 3, Capture One both have tether support for the D600 ... and many more cameras than are supported by Lightroom ... those developers are working and engineering solutions in the very same economy as Adobe (and C1 supports both platforms as well, costs much more than Lr and employs far fewer engineers) ... why aren't they suffering from the same lack of support? ... or using the camera makers to deflect blame for the lack of results?
    Excuses are not solutions ...

  • HT4759 I have an iMac, iMac, 10,1 10.8. I would like to have iCloud downloaded to my computer.  Does my computer have the system requirement necessary. I use iCal on my Apple Notebook and Iphone 4S. Thank you!

    I have an iMac, iMac, 10,1 10.8. I would like to have iCloud downloaded to my computer.  Does my computer have the system requirement necessary. I use iCal on my Apple Notebook and Iphone 4S and want it to my Mac Desktop to sinc with all my Apple Products. Thank you!

    The minimum requirement for iCloud is Lion 10.7.5 (Mavericks preferred): the iCloud Preference Pane does not appear on earlier systems - the MobileMe pane appears on Lion and earlier but is now non-functional - you cannot now open or access a MobileMe account.
    To make use of iCloud you will have to upgrade your Mac to Lion or Mavericks, provided it meets the requirements.
    The requirements for Lion are:
    Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
    2GB of memory
    OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
    7GB of available space
    Lion is available in the Online Apple Store ($19.99). Mountain Lion (10.8.x) is also available there at the same price (though it's reported to have been removed from sale in some countries so may well cease to be available generally) but there seems little point as the system requirements are the same for Mavericks (10.9.x) - which is free - unless you need to run specific software which will run on Mountain Lion only.
    The requirements for Mountain Lion and Mavericks are:
    OS X v10.6.8 or later
    2GB of memory
    8GB of available space
      and the supported models are:
    iMac (Mid 2007 or newer)
    MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer)
    MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)
    Xserve (Early 2009)
    MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer)
    Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer)
    Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer)
    It is available from the Mac App Store (in Applications).
      You should be aware that PPC programs (such as AppleWorks) will not run on Lion or above; and some other applications may not be compatible - there is a useful compatibility checklist at http://roaringapps.com/apps:table

  • Can you tell me the system requirements for arch please.

    can you tell me the system requirements for arch please.

    Enhu, welcome to the forums. Listing minimum requirements is pretty standard for most distros nowadays, and this being Arch, we expect you to do a minimum of effort to find out something like that. The wiki link is pretty clear on the memory, and since Arch is i686, any i686 CPU will do - something a search would have told you as well. This has been covered ad nauseam already.

  • HT202239 This computer does not meet the recommended system requirements for 3D titles.

    Hey guys.
    Today I downloaded FCP 10.2 and when enabling 3D text this message appeared "This computer does not meet the recommended system requirements for 3D titles". I ignored it and continued working on the 3D text, everything looked fine. Could someone tell me what the difference is when working on a not compatible computer?
    Thanks!
    www.lightbroscreative.com

    Tech specs for 10.2
    256MB of VRAM (1GB recommended for 4K editing and 3D titles)
    I guess you have the minimum to download, but VRAM isn't enough for 3D.

  • Minimum computer system requirements for LabVIEW 7.1

    What are the minimum computer system requirements for LabVIEW 7.1?  I have a PC with the following specifications:  1.7 GHz Pentium-4, 512 MB RAM, and a 60 GB hard drive running Windows ME.  I tried installing LabVIEW on the system but kept getting the "This computer does not meet the minimum requirements for this product" message.  What's the problem here?
    Thank you.

    Hi Enhan,
    You're problem may be related to the OS "Win-ME". 
    Your system appears fine, if there is room available on the HD.

  • I would like to run the most secure version of firefox on my computer, but my computer does not meet the system requirements for the latest version

    i would like to run the most secure version of firefox on my computer, but my computer does not meet the system requirements for the latest version. is there a way i can have the security of firefox 8 and still be able to run it on my old computer. i currently an running firefox 3.6. it is a bit slow, but it is functional.

    Currently Firefox 3.6.24 is as secure as Firefox 8.0.1 is. Firefox 3.6.x will continue to get security updates until next spring, although the exact date hasn't yet been determined.
    Which of the system requirements are you lacking? <br />
    Processor wise you're stuck with what you got, but RAM can be upgraded. WinXP is still supported in all versions of Firefox and will be continued to be supported until Windows drops support for WinXP sometime in 2014.

  • Does not meet the system requirement for installing BB App World

    I bought a Curve 8520 in Singapore yesterday. When i tried to download App world into this phone, it says "my phone does not meet the system requirement for the software".  does it refer to hardware specification or the BB O/s version on the phone. How can fix it because being able to use App world is one of the purposes that i buy a BB.
    Also, How about MS Live Messenger , facebook ?  Do I need to install them seperately through App World?
    Please help!

    Hi there!
    Please see these links for reference:
    http://na.blackberry.com/eng/services/appworld/download.jsp#tab_tab_system_requirements
    http://www.blackberry.com/app_includes/devicesoftware/appworld/appworld_availability_en.html
    A key component in accessing AppWorld is your carrier -- if they are not delivering it, then you can't get it. If you don't have an adequate plan from them that incudes it, then you can't get it. Hence, if you meet the hardware requirements AND it is available in your country, then you need to contact your carrier to find out how you can get it via their network.
    All that said, AppWorld is merely a storefront, vending apps developed by others...there are many other storefronts available that don't have the same restrictions.
    Good luck!
