PS and LR CC on Surface Pro

Does anyone have experience running PS (and/or LR) CC on a Surface Pro 3?  Good?  Bad?  Ugly?  Comments or recommendations?

I do not use lightroom Photoshop runs well on the surface pro 3. You may have a problem with the size of Photoshop's UI. CC 2014 2x UI option works Photoshop UI almost all  Photoshop UI fits one screen withe the 2x UI option enabled.   You would be wise to add a bluetooth mouse. And if you want to use Photoshop im tablet mode without a keyboard look into touchkey. Adobe need to create new touch friendly UI for managing tools use as you uses them.
For older versions of Photoshop CC and prior you can make a  registry mod and add external Photoshop Manifest to have Widdows scale what Photoshop display. Here is a comparison  of CC 2014 2x UI and Windows scaling. The big difference is Windows scaling also scale the image Photoshop  to a lower resolution while 2x UI does not. Windows scaling presets are 100% 1x,  125% 1.25x, 150%, 1,5x and 200% 2x.

  • Problem push and hold on a Surface Pro tablet's touch screen

    Hi,
    I tried posting this before, but I can't find my origional post so I hope I'm not spamming accidentally.
    I have a problem with my program on a Windows 8.1 Surface Pro tablet. I programmed a button to be 'push-and-hold', but when I touch the tablet nothing happens until I release my finger. This briefly controls the button. When I connect a USB mouse to the tablet, it responds normally; when I press the left mouse button: the button in my program goes down until I release the mouse button. I tried about every setting in the Touch section of the Windows control panel without any succes.
    Does anyone have a suggestion?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  • Press and hold on a Surface pro touch screen

    Hi,
    I am having some problems with my Surface Pro, trying to control a relay 'press-and-hold'. When I connect a mouse to the Tablet, Windows registers the left mouse up and down events perfectly, allowing the user to control the relay exactly the way I intended, but when I use the touch screen with either the stylus pen or my finger it only seems to press the LabVIEW on release.
    Does anyone have a solution for this problem?

    I just tested this on my touchscreen laptop and got a similar behavior. Windows doesn't seem to be registering the left click when you touch the screen until you release. My guess is that this is related to the press+hold for right click functionality on Windows. When I touch and hold for over a second, I get a right click, but when I touch and hold for a shorter time, I get a left click that only registers when I take my finger off. This is consistent with the way that the Windows UI handles touch as well (test the start button for an example).
    Interestingly, if I change the mechanical action of the LabVIEW boolean to 'Switch Unit Released' I can't actually toggle the button ever because the press and hold does not register as a left click, and eventually registers as a right click.

    Actually, this is expected behavior.  Try clicking a button on any Windows app, then, while holding down the button, move off of it.  The button does not register as pressed.  This feature has saved me any number of times. 
    edit:
    Or do you mean it doesn't even depress the button?

  • Trouble with deploying Win 8.1 and Office 2013 to Surface Pro 2

    Setup; Win2012R2, WDS 6.3.9600.16384, MDT 2013 (6.2.5019.0), Surface Pro 2 128GB, MS USB Ethernet adapter
    Issue 1: the TFTP transfer of the PE image is Extremely slow. 10 Mbps. Have tried to adjust Maximum Block Size without any improvement.
    Issue 2: When I try to deploy both Windows 8.1 and Office 2013 the TS fails. It will not (start) installing the Application - the log confirms that it starts the script, but ends up with ZTI Heartbeat forever.
    If I install Windows first and after the OS installation connect to the MDT server and start a TS With just Office 2013 it works without problem.
    The disturbing part here is that if I use the same TS With both OS and Office on a Hyper-V Virtual machine it works...
    Have anyone seen this before?

    Hi,
    I test in my environment, and Windows would finish the index, the CPU usage keeps in 29%, which my RAM is 8G.
    Can you tell us how you let the Windows Index run?

  • Restarts and Hangs on Surface Pro 3

    Has anyone been experiencing a high number of restarts and hangs on the Surface Pro 3? Over the course of three days I have had 11 BSODs. I scanned the minidmp and it points to ntosknrl.exe. And the event log has the usual unhelpful 
    "The system has rebooted without cleanly shutting down first. This error could be caused if the system stopped responding, crashed, or lost power unexpectedly."
    I am reading a lot about the wireless card issues on the SP3, wondering if maybe it is caused by this and an update might do the trick in the upcoming weeks. The restarts happen around the same time when the device wakes, and is not online.. 
    Anyone else experiencing this?
    Thank you

    I guess I can see the logic behind that. I'm not sure exactly how Connected Standby would work when you are using a hypervisor. The one thing that is annoying is that the Surface Pro 3 (or maybe it's just a Windows 8.1 thing in general?) has a nasty bug
    between hibernation and Wi-Fi. If you were connected to a wireless network and then go into hibernation, when you come out of it, it looks like it's still connected to the wireless network but you get no connectivity. I was able to work around this by creating
    a scheduled task based on the alert that's generated from exiting hibernation (event that says exiting low powered state or something like that) that kicks off a Powershell script that uses netsh to find the connected network, disconnect from it and then reconnect
    to it. It works pretty well but what a workaround to have to do just to conveniently exit hibernation and then automatically regain wireless connectivity!

  • Brand new Surface Pro 3 with Office Prof Plus 2013

    Just purchased today and brought home a brand new Surface Pro 3.
    The first thing I needed for work, Office, and so I started to install, via USB DVD drive, the program Office Professional Plus 2013 - the fully loaded flagship version of Office that I purchased in March of 2014.
    I was shocked that I am unable to install it. I first tried installing the 64-Bit Office version, since Windows 8.1 is 64-bit. Next I learned that I must uninstall the 32-bit trial versions of Office that came pre-loaded onto the Surface Pro 3. I even used
    the Microsoft Office Fixit utilities and the Support descriptions of manual removal of previous versions of Office.Resetting the Surface Pro 3, uninstalling all Office products from it, and installing as 32-bit did not help either.
    The errors I see are not describable, because nothing happens, the install just hangs with no messages. The machine keeps operating fine, but the Office installs do not work at all.
    All of these efforts have only led to frustration.It appears to me that the flagship 2014 Surface Pro 3 and the Office Professional Plus 2013 (purchased only this Spring) are incompatible. This came as a great shock for me because in all my history of installing
    current MS software on current systems, I have never had this problem. Maybe back in the days of Windows 3.1 it might have happened. Please, if anyone has any advice , please advise.

    Thanks Melon Chen for your quick and helpful reply. Somehow (I will explain below), I was at last able to install the Office 2013 Pro Plus Suite.
    Before I received your reply with detailed instructions I kept trying many other solutions .. eventually I made Office 2013 Pro Plus install, although I'm not exactly sure what ended up fixing my ability to install from DVD.
    here's what I did:
    1) I attempted to install Office 2013 Pro Plus after running Fixit Utility and again the clean boot, but those did not help. I received the same error message that I described (ie. no specific error coded message, only a message that Office 2013 Pro
    Plus failed to install.  After rebooting with the "clean" reset option ,  I noticed there was some of my personal setup information retained on the system (can't recall exactly what this was , but it was clear to me that the reset
    did not make my system in pristine factory image). I discovered an even cleaner reset is the following to reset the Surface Pro 3 'absolutely' to factory image using a downloaded factory recovery image that is available here: 
    -->
    http://www.microsoft.com/surface/en-us/support/warranty-service-and-recovery/downloadablerecoveryimage?lc=1033
    This also required creating a USB drive based install and this reset the Surface Pro 3 to factory condition as described here:
    -->
    https://www.microsoft.com/surface/en-us/support/warranty-service-and-recovery/usbrecovery
    Now, after all this, regarding the Office Pro Plus 2013 install, 64-bit, it failed yet again, but one good thing was that the error message stated something different ie containing the text
    " Background installation ran into a problem. ... We'll automatically resume...." . With this information, I explored the internet over the weekend and I found the following valuable site on the web:
    http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/office/forum/office_2013_release-office_install/unable-to-install-office-2013-error-codes-30102-1/fde35d75-bddc-4dd6-bd0a-e01d07420f49
    Although I did not observe the error codes (apparently, it is explained that MS has stopped showing many error codes) as depicted, but the symptoms were identical. And so reading the link, there was one user , Rohn007, who compiled a beautiful listing of this
    problem of installing Office 2013 Pro with suggested solutions; lo and behold, the solution describing
    multiple wireless devices seemed to solve the problem. In other words, by being a heavy MS early-adopter, during Office 2013 Pro Plus install, I had a couple of MS devices, like Lumia phone, pc, etc.. all linked to the same wireless router
    during my attempts to install to the Surface Pro 3.  I have only a single MSN user ID and password for all the devices. I could be wrong, but this situation with shared wireless apparently can mess up the installs of Office 2013 Pro Plus- but often it
    is disguised and murky because no error codes are generated. By turning off all the wireless connections except for the one connecting to the Surface Pro 3, I was AT LAST ABLE TO INSTALL OFFICE 2013. 
    In the end, I installed Office 2013 32 bit, but I really wanted 64 bit. I will try now and uninstall everything again. and then go for the 64 bit version.
    I was very worn out by this experience. A full 2 days trying to install a brand new Office 2013 onto the brand new Surface Pro 3 with Win 8.1 apparently all came down to the fact maybe that I had too many wireless connections going! In the end I am
    happy that I can finally discover this beautiful piece of hardware, but I am a bit scared since I also would like to install Adobe CS4 from DVD drive and I am worried that I will again have much trouble. Do you have any suggestions when installing the Adobe
    CS 4 Master Collection, are there suggested steps to take? I like the idea of running Event Viewer, do you think that cab be helpful during installs.

  • How to work with both desktop and Surface pro 3

    Hello,
    I have a desktop for my normal use of Adobe Creative Cloud for Photoshop and Lightroom.  I have my lightroom catalog on a separate external drive.  I just got Surface pro 3 to do Adobe on it.  I am now confused on how to work on Surface and how to access my Lightroom catalog.
    Thanks for your help.

    Just install Lightroom on your Surface Pro, plug-in the external drive, and double-click the LR catalog file.

  • Is it possible to install and run Acrobat Standard or Pro on a Surface Pro 2 tablet?

    Does anyone know if is possible install and run Acrobat Standard or Professional on a Surface Pro 2?
    and, if is possible to use COM automation to fill AcroForms?
    Thanks and regards,
    Adolfo

    Does it run regular Windows 8 (allowing you to install the same apps as older versions of Windows in the desktop) or does it run Windows 8 RT, where only apps from the Windows Store are allowed? It looks like regular Windows 8, in which case you can try out the free trial of Acrobat Pro.
    If it works, the Acrobat SDK (separate download) has all developer information on Acrobat, and you need it (give up any idea you will find code ready for use on Google...)

  • WDS and Surface Pro 2

    I have a Windows Deployment Server and I am using Windows ADK to load essential drivers onto my boot/install images.
    I downloaded the latest Surface Pro 2 driver pack and used DISM to load drivers on to an offline boot image from a Windows 8.1 ISO. I then un-mount the image and load it onto my WDS server.
    My problem is the Surface Pro 2 won't pxe boot into my Windows Deployment Server. When I PXE boot, it displays media present and then waits for user input to start PXE over IPv4. I press enter but it times out and then prompts for IPv6 (no error given) when
    that times out it boots the machine into windows.
    I had been successfully imaging Surface Pro tablets from this deployment server using the same methods, but we recently got in the Surface Pro 2 and I haven't been able to get it working.
    I have the latest version of MDT installed but I'm not that familiar with it. When we first started deploying tablets I had attempted to create boot wims with MDT but I never got it working and decided just to use the WADK and DISM.
    Any ideas on what I could try next?

    I am running WDS on Windows server 2008 R2.
    I am using a Type Cover 2 from Microsoft.
    I am using the Microsoft Surface Ethernet Adapter. I loaded the drivers for the adapter into the boot image as well as the other drivers from the February driver pack.
    Thank you for your response.

  • Using a Mac and a Surface Pro with the same catalog?

    I am using CC on my Mac as my primary computer. I'm thinking of getting a Surface Pro to use as a second computer.
    1. Are there any issues with opening and saving a catalog back-and-forth between a Mac and a PC? I'm thinking of doing it via Dropbox.
    2. Has anyone used LR on a Surface Pro? Can everything be done via touch? Does it work well? I'd like to mainly be able to go through all of my photos and tag and rate them on the Surface.
    Thanks.

    Using dropbox seems to be one of the choices people make when working with the same catalog on multiple computers. It reportedly works well as long as you ensure that you allow ample time for synchronization.
    I cannot answer your question about the Surface Pro. You could download the trial version of Lightroom and evaluate for 30 days and then decide for yourself.

  • Mouse and Touchpad settings Windows 8.1 and Surface Pro 3

    I have a Surface Pro 3 running Windows 8.1.   I noticed that I can no longer use the right or left clicks when using the touch pad on the Surface Pro 3 keyboard. 
    When I go to PC Settings - PC and devices - Mouse and Touchpad I only see the section for the Mouse, touchpad does not display.
    This is occurs with a domain user account.  If I log in as a domain admin (different account) the touchpad settings now appear.  Does anyone have any thoughts?
    If I make the original user and admin or domain admin the results don't change, the touchpad settings still do not display.

    Hi,
    It's hard to troubleshoot since I have no specific Surface pro to do a test.
    Based on your description, when you add the promblematic user account to domain administrator group, the touchpad setting still not appear.
    I suggest you recreate a new local user either admin or standard to check if it could get the correct setting.

  • Surface Pro 2 freezes briefly - storachi and disk error

    Hello tech net
    I am running a surface pro 2 with windows 8.1 (updates current as of 3 days ago), 4 GB RAM, 64GB HD.  For the last several months the device will freeze up for about 5-10 secs multiple times per hour, and then resolve on it's own.  During that
    time task manager shows the disk is at 100% and event viewer will display 2 Warnings: an storachi (129) and a disk (153) error.  This is in addition to a service control error (7000) that happens multiple times per second but doesn't seem to
    affect performance.  These freezes happen when plugged in, on battery, SDXC card installed or not, wi-fi or not, and no particular program running. It even happens when I'm not using the device if I go back thru event viewer.  The 100% on disk is
    not associated with any increase in process or app activity.  Most of the time there are a couple 0.1MB/s demands like outlook, explorer or service host running but nothing that looks unusual when it spikes and freezes.
    I am not a tech person and my online search for help has yielded a wide variety of solutions to this problem that didn't seem to be reliable fixes and sounded a little beyond my usual capabilities.  Anyone know if this is fixable or do I need to send
    the device back?
    Thanks!

    Not much information here to go on. Can you supply the bdd.log file. Copy to a public share like OneDrive, and share the link.
    Typically any problems with format and partition have to do with the storage driver. Are you using the latest ADK from Microsoft? As Surface Pro 2 only supports Windows 8.x, you should *only* be using uEFI mode and GPT.
    THe default MDT Task Sequence will do the right thing, *however*, if you change the settings in the "FOrmat and Partition Disk" step, you are then responsible for the settings from then on.

  • Trying to download and install Photoshop Elements and Premium on Surface Pro 3 from the link and receiving an error - anyone know of a resolution?

    I have a Surface Pro 3 and just purchased the download link for Photoshop Elements (newest one) from Adobe. I've tried downloading several times and in 64 and 32 bit types, but have only made it as far as the install before receiving an error. Anyone else have this problem and know of a solution?

    Hi Jeff -
    I tried chatting with someone earlier today, but they ended the session (I think accidentally?) before it was resolved. My error is below. Now chat seems to be closed - although I thought it was open 24/7, so I can't try that again. This is the most frustrating support experience I've ever had. I just want to access and start using the products I purchased Friday. I would be so happy if someone would just help fix this. I am not computer inept, but cannot figure out why the download is failing.
    The guy on chat that was helping me before getting cut off had me run a SCANNOW system scan, but that's where the session unexpectedly ended.
    Exit Code: 7
    Please see specific errors below for troubleshooting. For example,  ERROR:
    -------------------------------------- Summary --------------------------------------
    - 0 fatal error(s), 2 error(s)
    ERROR: This installer does not support installation on a 64-Bit Windows operating system. Please download the 64-Bit version of Photoshop Elements.
