Use of Adobe programs

Hi, I'm thinking about buying the hp 15-r117na notebook, however I will mostly be using it for graphic design using Adobe photoshop and illustrator. The laptop has 8gb ram and 1tb storage which is good, but I don't know what other details I need to look at to make sure the laptop can handle working on large files on photoshop or illustrator. I have worked on computers before that just can't cope and can't save any of my work as the file size makes the program crash.
Anyone have any advice? Will this laptop be any good for what I need it for?
Thank you

Here's PS requirements...

How to import WMV file for use in adobe programs, especially After Effects and/or Premier?

How to import WMV file for use in adobe programs, especially After Effects and/or Premier?

I have the latest adobe creative cloud and i'm using Mac 10.8.2
My client gave me a wmv file that she wants some people blurred out in the background but when I go to import the media, it's greyed out. I'm assuming that After Effects will be the best solution for this, but maybe there is another way.
I can purchase a video converter and convert it to .mov but that costs extra money that I don't want to spend just to do this one project.

I am a professional photographer of many years standing and at the moment I have a student for 12 months, who I am teaching how to use various Adobe programs, but to introduce her to video editing, I have purchased Adobe Premier Elements 13 which is less

I am a professional photographer of many years standing and at the moment I have a student for 12 months, who I am teaching how to use various Adobe programs, but to introduce her to video editing, I have purchased Adobe Premier Elements 13 which is less complicated than the Premier Pro that I use. The program works perfectly, except for one thing.... when adding a title to the short video sequence we are working with, if I use a particular font (Metallophile Sp8) which I obtained from my Adobe Typekit, it crashes the program,.... all other fonts work perfectly....can anybody help me please?

What computer operating system is your Premiere Elements 13 running on? And what video card/graphics card does this computer use?
From your description, can I assume that this Mettallophile Sp8 font is being recognized by Premiere Elements 13 to the extent
that it can be seen and remains seen in Titler's list of font choices - even after the crashes?
If you opened a new project, imported nothing, and created a text title in the Titler with this Mettallophile Sp8 font, does the program crash?
Please review the following which discuss fonts and Premiere Elements and determine if anything in it helps.

What format am I supposed to use in Adobe programs?

I'm trying to use the Adobe InDesign part of Creative Cloud to design a cover with elements I've created/edited in Adobe Photoshop Elements 12. What do I have to do to get the Adobe programs to work with each other, since InCloud doesn't recognize the pictures in ANY format I've saved it in? (In short, I have copies of the same files in every possible "save" ability that the Elements has, but I still can't use anything.) Having just spent my hard earned money on this crap, I'm thinking I made a mistake win trusting Adobe.

As I've posted repeatedly this morning, THIS is the tutorial on how to use the program that I'm following: CreateSpace Community: How to Make a Basic Cover
Step VIII is where everything falls apart, as I've saved the image in every extension possible, but no images show for me to choose from. I posted the jpeg that everyone insists I needed to save it in to Larry Schneider's answer, if you can make it work. (I've even reset my laptop to "restore to factory" and reinstalled everything as well and transferring the whole mess to the Windows 8.1 desktop with no change in the result.)
And frankly, before you comment on someone else's attitude, perhaps I should point out that, as mentioned in my initial question, I purchased Photoshop Elements to create the image I'm trying to load as the cover image, which is the equivalent of two week's pay for me. I'm using the one month trial version of InDesign because I need to eat at some point, so I can't afford to buy more Adobe programs at this time. I have less than a week left on the trial, and have been getting less than 2 hours of sleep each night trying to get this program to recognize the image, no matter what extension the file is. My normal response over the past three weeks has been from techies whose common theme is "Didn't they teach you this in school? Why didn't you pay attention in class?" instead of answering the question.
So yes, my attitude right now could probably use some help from something other than the huge quantities of coffee I'm ingesting to try to stay upright and functioning while InDesign keeps showing me empty file folders instead of recognizing any of the multitudes of image extensions I've saved my cover photo as, but adding your snarky comment to the mix doesn't help anyone, especially someone who is already at the breaking point.
Since that was directed to me, let me point out that when I suggested you post step by step what you are doing you had not yet provided any link to the create space documentation, so we had absolutely no way of knowing what directions you were trying to follow. And I think at this point we all have the link, so you can stop posting it in every response. Your attitude has nothing at all to do with what programs you've p[purchased or are using on trial, it has to do with ranting and accusatory language. We're volunteers here, and we provide excellent help when folks like you are calm and provide the information we need to help you. Act your age.

What Adobe program?
What Mac are you running, and I am sure you are not using the ancient OS 10.1!

No support. Can't sign in, Adobe chat doesn't answer, web page suggestions don't help, adobe phone lines not answered or cut off. Can't use any adobe program.

See above. Any suggestions how I can use any Creative Cloud program? I've been using it for a year with no issues.

Hi Charles,
Thank you for your post.

What hardware is comparable to use with adobe programs, screens, cpu, hard-drives, printers, mouse,

What hardware is essential to use with these types of programs? video, keyboard, cpu, printers, mouse, etc. C5 program I am interested in.

While some people on this forum use CS5, the forum itself is devoted to Lightroom, which isn't at all the same, even though it has Photoshop in its name. You'd probably have much better luck by asking your question on one of the Photoshop forums.

Adobe programs dont work with Captivate to capture/record

Hi there.
I've had problems with Captivate capturing screen recording from Adobe Premier cs5, where it would not show any of the video which was being edited. I figured this was just the video issue and worked around it by just not showing the video preview for the small thing i was demonstrating, it wasnt a big deal if it was just isolated to this.
Next I was using Adobe Photoshop and setting up a little demo on how to fill objects. Captivate did not pick up the cursor, it shows a ugly black box.
I also want it to pick up the full motion of my mouse cursor in photoshop, but it doesnt come close, so as im narrating how to do something, my actual mouse is not showing at the same time as im saying it which is essential when you are trying to show a way to FILL a certain area of a shape.
I had plans to do many things with captivate, now it seems i am going to have to switch back and forth with Camtasia, convert to AVI the parts that Captivate does not handle, and then import them into Captivate to make my demonstrations look seemless???
I have a lot planned for Adove CS5 Flash, is this also going to give me the same problem?
I have already searched for a solution tot his, and everyone has said that captivate does not capture things where there is overlayed content etc etc...
This strikes me slightly insane when Camtasia does it so well, and Im using an Adobe program to provide training on Adobe programs...
If anyone knows any delevopers for captivate on here, can they PLEASE look at this right now as im slapping myself wondering why this is the case and how im going to plan to do all the simulations half with camtasia and half with captivate on Adobe products we use at my work.....
Oh see the below link around slide 42 to get an example of what im saying here..
http://www.blcstudents.com.au/tutorials/col-fill/colour-fill.htm
or you can check out
http://www.blcstudents.com.au/tutorials/wp/?page_id=35 its at the bottom of the page.
Anyway im worried about what to be doing at this point, I got captivate for adobe products, not for other products and programs out there.
Cheers for any help,
Ben.

Just out of curiosity, are you able to modify the mouse cursor AFTER doing the captures once you're back in Captivate editing them?
For example, are you able to select the mouse for the slides where it added this wierd square cursor, then choose the normal arrow cursor from the Properties tabl > Options accordion?
Or are you able to delete the mouse from these same slides, and add it back again, and then select the cursor you want?
Have you found that there is nothing you can do to change this particular cursor on these slides?

Your call of course but IMO a waste of money. Please read this first:

Hannahdb1 what specific Adobe applications are you attempting to reinstall? Do you receive any specific error messages? Finally what version of Mac OS are you using?

Please clarify your version of Photoshop.
There is no CC6.
There is
Photoshop CS6
Photoshop CC
Photoshop CC 2014

I am currently using the adobe cloud service and would like to give my granddaughter my original lightroom and photoshop programs. Would do I need to do to remove them from my computer to hers? The lightroom 5 program has been replaced with the cloud version on my computer.

Follow the steps listed at Transfer an Adobe product license
Lightroom has no activation check so you don't need to do anything to your computer. Your old copy of Photoshop must be deactivated / uninstalled if you haven't already done so.

Mac freezing when using Photoshop or other Adobe programs

Hey guys I'm having some issues with Photoshop and some other Adobe programs (After Effects, Premiere). These programs are on version CS6 and work fine until maybe 10-20 minutes later it freezes the whole computer. I can't move anything, it just freezes. It's only with Adobe programs, that's why I'm here.
Help?

If the whole computer freezes, you're looking at OS, hardware, or low level driver problems.
The most common cause is bad RAM. But we've also seen it caused by bad motherboards, CPUs, GPUs, and power supplies.
Photoshop, After Effects, and Premiere share very little code.
So what you're saying is that programs that move a lot of memory and use the GPU extensively are causing the machine to freeze.
That still means it could be the RAM, CPU, motherboard, or GPU.
