Video Adaptors for Photoshop CC

Hello Everyone,
i would like to upgrade my video adaptor if I can improve performance.
MY processor is an Intel i5 quad core with 16g of ram. Specifically, what graphics adaptors will improve performance. All I can find is a model series of adaptors and not a specific model. Also, what drivers should be used with the recommended video adaptors?
Does Lightroom support the GPU in video adaptors?
Thank you for your help.
Roger

Absolutely not a matter of what you actually buy, but finding the right balance between price and how PS actually uses the GPU. Yes, LR uses GPU acceleration as well, but really neither LR nor PS are complicated 3D-Programs and most of their acceleration features will work with any mid-range card.

Video tutorial for Photoshop CS6 3d

I have been fighting and struggling for at least two weeks trying to find decent video tutorials for Photoshop CS6 3d. Does no one use it? is there nothing out there. The stuff I have found is either incomplete or the sites don't work or function properly. It's driving me crazy and that's being generous.
Let's face it. If I can't use it I'll have to move on to some other software solution.

Photoshop CS6 does basic video editing you need Adobe Premier Pro
Adobe Premiere Pro 3D Stereoscopic Realtime Editing ...
Or are you referring to a tutorial for Photoshop CS6 Extended 3d support and the you would prefer a video tutorial???

Video Card for Photoshop CS5

Hi,
I'm deciding between these two cards (I do not want to spend more than 70/80 bucks as I might be selling the PC in some time):
http://www.amazon.com/GeForce-ENGT430-DC-SL-1GD3/dp/B0051UWKUW/ref=wl_it_dp_o_npd?ie=UTF8& coliid=I3KL9BC6YWAB99&colid=F5P3DUM50O0I (US$ 70)
http://www.amazon.com/EAH6570-1GD3-LP-Radeon-Video/dp/B004X8EOB6/ref=wl_it_dp_o_npd?ie=UTF 8&coliid=I2P1Y17T0IZJPH&colid=F5P3DUM50O0I (US$ 81)
I would want it to be fanless (one of the main reasons I'm focusing on the GT 430) and not bigger in height than these posted, and preferably made by Asus or some other good brand.
At the time I have an onboard Intel GMA X4500HD (which uses my Ram; I have 6GB - and I have an Core2Duo 3GHz 6MB Cache), but I'm having trouble moving various layers at the same time (this file I'm working on for instance weighs 30MB and has "many" layers and folders, but nearly no images; it's all text and vector shapes, and some Smart Objects).
When I move 3/4/5 folders (with layers in it) at the same time it drags quite a lot. Would this have to do with the graphics card? It's the only reason I could think of, because the processor is quite powerful, I have more than enough Ram (ddr3), and I even have a scratch disc that is not the main Hd.
Many thanks in advance!
Jimmy
PD: I'm working on Windows 7 64bit

I opened a file I have with a lot of layers grouped into a number of groups, and many of the layers have effects. A relatively complex document.
When I select a whole bunch of the groups then use the move tool, yes, I see the screen update response slow down. In my case, with a fairly powerful workstation and a decent video card it updated the screen about twice a second - a bit laggy but still quite acceptable. I guess that's to be expected as the previews have to be made up of the combination of a huge number of pixels from all those tens or hundreds of layers in various ways.
Based on what I see, it's not hard to imagine including even more layers in a more complex document to cause things to slow down even more. I guess one just has to be patient if working on a document that deep in layers.
Note that there are settings in the Edit - Preferences - Performance dialog that optimize the History & Cache values for "Tall and Thin" documents, where "tall" means "lots of layers". If you make changes there to experiment, remember to close and reopen Photoshop to test them.

Correct Video Adaptor for MacBook?

Hello - I am trying to connect my MacBook to a new LED Cinema display. The cinema display has a Mini display connection, my Macbook seems to have a larger display connection. I cannot seem to find the correct adaptor to connect my Macbook in the MacStore....any suggestions?

A component such as this one can be used to connect that display to a DVI port.

I need a DVI to RCA video adaptor that works!

I need to buy a DVI to RCA composite video adaptor for a Powerbook G4 15 inch.
I purchased one from the local Apple Store a few weeks back, and all I get from it is a non-synchronous/grey-squiggly image.
I have been told that the current new adaptor (Apple DVI to Video Adapter) only works with Macbooks with the Intel processor. Is that true?
Where can I get one that works???

The specifications here:
http://support.apple.com/specs/powerbook/PowerBookG4_15-inch_1_67-15GHz.html
Under Video accessories say that an "S-video to composite adapter" and "DVI to VGA adapter" were included if you bought it new. NTSC Composite Video is the one that uses the RCA jack, and will show up on a TV set or a VCR. It looks like someone at the Apple store was trying too hard. Ask for the 922-3421 (black) or 922-4200 (ice) described and pictured in this document:
33001- Monitor and Display Adapter Table
Note that the adapter pictured has a Female RCA jack, and you may need a male-to-male patch cord to complete the circuit to the TV or VCR.
If what you really want is 15-pin VGA, there are some other things to try, depending on what your display/record device is, and what its capabilities are.

Is iMac graphics card sufficient for Photoshop CS6

I'm considering purchasing a new 21.5-inch iMac that comes equipped with a NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M graphics processor with 512MB of GDDR5 memory. Will this graphics card be sufficient to run Photoshop CS6?

Your query has an answer in more details here: http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/kb/photoshop-cs6-gpu-faq.html. If you see this section which says
Tested video cards for Photoshop CS6
nVidia GeForce 8000, 9000, 100, 200, 300, 400, 500, 600 series .
Hence 650M will fall under this range and is supported to run Photoshop CS6.

Is there any Vga adaptor for the Ipad 2 that is VIDEO IN rather than OUT?

Is there any Vga adaptor for the Ipad 2 that is VIDEO IN rather than VIDEO OUT? is for a student with visual impairment who needs to view the classroom digital board content from a very short distance, like the distance to an Ipad for example, so the Ipad would be ideal as an interactive monitor with typography and content easy to amplify.
At the moment, this student has a traditional flat screen monitor taking over the table next to him, so no other child can seat in it, and he has no opportunity to befriend and sporadically joke with anybody else. So much for "inclusion".
Please do let me know: [email protected]

Speaking as a teacher ... Why can't he have a student on the other side of him?

I have old video clips in Photoshop Elements Organizer v12 for Mac. I want to divide some of those clips in Organizer. I can do that in Premiere Elements 12 and save them as "Projects" - but how do I get the divided clips back into Organizer?

I have old video clips in Photoshop Elements Organizer v12 for Mac. I want to divide some of those single clips into 2 or 3 separate clips, each shown separately in Organizer. I can divide the clips in Premiere Elements Editor 12 and save them as "Projects" - but I can't find any way to get those divided clips back into Organizer. Does anyone know whether that can be done? Many thanks for your thoughts.

What about Google Drive? And just share the folder with the family members.

Where do I find manuals for photoshop touch for ipad (not video tutorial)?

Where do I find manuals for photoshop touch for ipad (not video tutorials)?

The best way to get quickly acquainted with PS Touch is to do the built-in tutorials. There was a "quick start guide" of sorts, but as far as I know, they haven't updated it to reflect the latest version as of yet.

2010 iMac 2.93 i7 27" or 2011 2.8 i7 21.5" - which will suit better long-term? I do a fair amount of audio, video editing and photoshop, but I have a limited budget. What's going to give the best bang-for-buck for the next 3-5 yrs?

I do a fair amount of audio, video editing and photoshop, but I have a limited budget. What's going to give the best bang-for-buck for the next 3-5 yrs? My current machine is a 13" Macbook unibody 2.4 Core 2 Duo w/ 4Gb Ram so it's time to move forward with more power and screen real estate!

Hello, Jeff
I could never edit on a 13" screen. I'm currently using a 17" MBP i7 Early 2011 as a fast replacement to my aged 20" Intel iMac.
Both systems are not that far apart on stats and you will find that processing HD video will rely highly on the read/write to your storage. Myself, I'd be eye balling the 2011 for the Thunderbolt port so HD Video export/compression doesn't take forever! Currently processing a finished HD project for DVD uses at most 20% of my total CPU capacity. The FW800 drive is the big bottleneck! (I know I need at least a RAID to see a real speed boost).
How good your eyes are and your usage style would dictate if the difference in screen size make a difference to you.

Best Video Training Series For Photoshop

I am looking for a good video training series for Photoshop.
I learn much quicker when using video, but I need step-by-step instructions.
Needless to say, Photoshop is feature-rich and a bit intimidating.
Any ideas?

What have you tried so far? What is your budget? Are you looking for free or paid (often better quality)?

Where and how can I buy a new AC adaptor for a 30" HD cinema display?

I bought large numbers of Apple products in Hong Kong but have since moved to a remote area of the Philippines where internation telephone calls are extremely difficult.
The AC adaptor of my 30" HD cinema display with aluminum case has been lost so I need to find out the price and order a new one. However the Apple shop (Hong Kong) on-line has no way to ask the price or place an order for this item. There is no on-line form no email addrees, nothing except Hong Kong phone numbers.
Can anyone please advise what I can do? Please don't suggest going to the local service center. I will never go back to our local service center after what they did last time.
Thank you.
Frank

Thank You.
I have emailed them to ask if they will deliver to Hong Kong via USPS.
I may need a video card for a MacPro so I will order that from them also.
Thanks again

DVI to video adaptor question

I am new the Apple world but am thinking of buying a Mac mini as a music and photo server. I will use it mainly via a TV with the remote control and Front Row. I am in the UK and have a CRT Panasonic (28" wide) with SCART connections. I also have a Sony home cinema amp which is a couple of years old. I have read that screen resolution and quality is poor when using the DVI to video adaptor but am wondering what people's experience is when using it for Front Row only? I am hoping to find a remote control solution to use the Mac through my Windows laptop for normal Mac computing..

I've been thinking of MacMini for the same purpose and have been testing s-video output on my PowerBook G4 1.67.
Using the resolution 1024x576 gives anamorphic widescreen image to my sony 28" tube TV and I was able to browse internet and write forum entries without much trouble from 2 meter distance (around 7 ft).
Ofcourse the image is not as sharp as you'd get with a LCD, but it's a lot better than one might think. There was a checkbox saying "optimize for video" or something which seemed to sharpen the image a little. It helped getting smaller text readable.
Anyway, after seeing frontrow on a LCD display and now PowerBook's 1024x576 on a TV screen (I don't have front row on the PB), I'm sure It's more than good for that application.
Actually I didn't really find much difference between watching DVD from a DVD player or from the powerbook, when they were both connected with s-video

DVI to Video Adaptor not reliable.

I received my DVI to Video Adaptor (s-video and composite) today. The first boot up was to no video, a couple restarts later and the login screen was up. I used the mini for a couple hours with the composite video and my tv and then turned it off. I came back later to again no video and after a few more power cycles... needless to say I have the mini hooked back up to a VGA display.
Has anyone had any problems with this adaptor? Any advice as to how to get it to reliably display video?
Thanks.

Does the image seem to triplicate across the screen and jump around with all kinds of distortions? If so it appears you may have the same problem many iBook users were having...
squeeb, "Composit/S-video output adapter Will not work", 08:21am Mar 5, 2004 CDT
You can take the time to read through all those posts, but the news isn't good I'm afraid. It's something to do with the mac thinking the TV is a VGA monitor, so sends out the wrong signal (nobody really knows, Apple never acknowledged the problem). The only person to have fixed it had to have his logic board replaced!
That was an iBook though, this may be different to your problem (you hope).
I certainly hope! I was planning to get a mac mini soon to setup a kind of media center. I was one of the unlucky ones with the iBook problem, so this is very bad news if the Mac minis are having the same problem!
Good luck! Keep us posted if you make any progress.

DVI to s-video/ composite Video Adaptors- diff b/w 2 Apple products?

I am trying to get information regarding the difference between 2
Apple display accessories.
- Apple PAL DVI to Video Adaptor -Apple part number MA026ZM/A
- Apple DVI to Video Adaptor -Apple part number M9267G/A
The second is not just an NTSC version of the first, in that it
supports both PAL and NTSC - and apparently the Pin outs are
different for both. I am trying to work out which will give a better
result for PAL video output (interlace timings etc). Kbase articles
just say that M9267G/A supports both NTSC and PAL and that MA026ZM/A
supports PAL. It seems strange that the PAL item exists if the other
adaptor supports PAL also ? Apple Australia say they don't know.
thoughts ? thanks in advance

Apple's video adapters have a ROM chip inside them with EDID data contained within the ROM. That is one thing that will definitely be different between the two. The NTSC and PAL version (M9267G/A) gives priority to NTSC. This could cause problems in a PAL country. If you hooked a PAL TV up using this adapter, you might get a rolling (non-synced) screen and you'd have no good way to recover since the image on the screen would be unusable.
I don't think one adapter would have any advantage over the other in terms of PAL picture quality. It would just be a question of compatibility as outlined above. That's my best guess.
