I'm a dutch photographer (don't mind my english) considering switching from pc to mac. What is holding me is I think its quite an investment buying a MBP and a Mac Pro at the same time. I was wondering.........because I also need a notebook......would an MBP also do the job doing all the processing of Photoshop? (It still needs to go very smooth like on a desktop so no hicks during any actions.) If so...then I could first buy a MBP and later on a Mac Pro. I definately need the notebook on location.
good book for learning photoshopi know my way around it a little bit, but i nwat to get really good at it....any books out there that are worth the money? looking to spend 40 annd under
Do any of you know of a good photoshop alternative for Mac? I use GIMP on Windows, but on Mac it still uses the Windows shortcut keys, so it's confusing.
I have an Early 2009 Whitebook. Until here recently my Whitebook has ran like a champ, but now it seems like the computer is easily bogged down. Here's what I've got so far:
1) Repaired permissions. 2) Cleared temp. files. 3) Cleared off desktop. 4) Removed un-needed startup programs. 5) Closed programs in the dock when not in use.
I have 4GB's of RAM so I know RAM isn't the issue. It just seems like ever since 10.5.7 came out a little while back the computer seems to get easily overwhelmed. It's not uncommon for me to get the beach ball just from opening "system preferences." Do you all have any ideas as to what could be the problem?
Just wondering if there is a Snow Leopard patch out yet for Adobe Photoshop Elements (updated) 6? I've been waiting to buy Snow Leopard, but I need Adobe Photoshop 6...So I'm waiting...
I have been asked to send some photos to company, and to watermark them as property of that company. I have never done it before, and indeed am not sure what it exactly means. I think it mean it will have invisible data in the files metadata stating " Property of..." etc.
How can I do this.....clear and simple please as I'm no expert.
I have a MacPro 1,1 2.0GHz and would like to upgrade the CPUs. Is there a significant difference in every day performance between a 3.0GHz Woodcrest (quad core) vs. a 2.33GHz Clovertown (octo core)? I use my computer mostly for graphic work in Photoshop, Indesign and Illustrator and also like to play the occasional game.
Is anyone using Photoshop on a Laptop? If so, what kind of laptop, processor, ram etc? How odes it work for you? Is it powerful and fast enough using CS4?I've been told that a Mac Book Pro 2.2 gHZ works fine for editing photos using Photoshop CS4. I'm looking at buying a new computer and wondering if I can get buy using a laptop as opposed to being tied to a desk.I'm considering a new Apple 13" 2.4 or 2.66gHZ C2D, 4MB with a Nvidia 320M GPU. I like the small form factor and battery life for taking with me in the field. I can always plug in a larger monitor when needed.
I LOVE the concept of a program being contained in a single 'file' that you install by dragging into the applications folder.
Now that I am used to this setup of one file per program... Office 11 and Photoshop are driving me nuts... EVERY other program has a single icon in the applications folder... Office has like 12, I hate it!
I've uninstalled, I think... but I still see icons and crap everywhere (documents, etc) any help REMOVING all of it?
I've got a MBP and I've been using an external 1TB FW800/eSata/USB drive with my Lightroom library for editing photos in Lightroom and Photoshop.
I want to drop the MBP and buy the Air v2 SSD. All considering NC Macguy's posts (and great disassembly photos) and all the performance-oriented info coming out.
Anyone been running PS for editing 16 bit photos, multiple layers, filters, that sort of thing? Normally, I'd waltz into a Mac Store in LA and run some edits on my own but I'm currently in Berlin and they a) don't have the new Air in yet and b) won't put an SSD out as a floor model anyways.
I've got a file (39mp) if anyone wants to download it and see if it clogs up PS I'd be very interested to know how the system holds up especially the ram.
I'm new to Photoshop and planning on purchasing the education discount version with a new MacBook Pro 2.26GHz. I plan on upgrading the memory to 4GB and the hardrive to 360GB @ 7200rpm. Is the 2.56GHz processor worth the extra $300? I know the memory and hardrive will be about $140 if I get the 2.26GHz version. Will I notice a big difference between the 2.56GHz and the 2.26GHz?
I have a Macbook Pro. I have a copy of Dreamweaver MX 2004 and Adobe Photoshop CS that I would like to install on this machine. Both of these programs are backed up on an external harddisk.
I used to to have a copy of this Photoshop working on my mac, but a few months ago, it stopped working, and I haven't been able to get it up and running since.
Here are the specs of my Mac:
2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo 4 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM
So far I have basically tried copying these programs onto my machine from the external disk, but with no success.
Is there anyone who might have any idea what is going on with these programs, and how I can get them working again my machine?
I am trying to install Photoshop CS4 on a MacBook Air running OS X 10.5.8. The error message is the application Setup quit unexpectedly and then when I choose Report there is a long message and at the end:
My Photoshop CS5 does not like it if I move image files into folders generated on my Mac Book Pro it is only with the HDR & Merge features. If I do not have image files inside the folder generated by my
Im thinking about buying a new laptop soon! I know the same question is asked over and over again but Im a student so Im kind of different from most of the business people...
#1 My question: Is MBP still portable? Portable as in being able to bring it to almost everywhere just like i do with my iPad?
#2 MY QUESTION: Can MBA still support iMovie or Photoshop?
#3 My question: Is 128GB of storage enough for average user?
#4 MY Question: Will MBA last at least 5 years before slowing down and "dying"?
Which one do you guys prefer? (OPINIONS) Please be specific as to which model and specs!My budget is aroung $1250
I just got a bunch of Photoshop styles in the form of .asl files and tried to load them on Photoshop, but Photoshop didn't recognise any of these files. The file icons are grey rectangles with 'exec' on them.
May I know how I can open these asl files that seem to work fine for everyone else?
I believe there might be something wrong with my MacBook Pro-It's a late 2008 one, mid configuration. Intel C2D 2.4 Ghz, 2 graphics card, 2GB RAM, ... (Using SL)
I usually find myself using up most of the RAM, with 96MB of RAM left right now, and sometimes when using Photoshop, up to 15MB. My CPU usage is quite high, with Chrome using 17% + other Chrome processes.
I'm only opening up 13 active tabs with 12 pinned and disabled tabs; Is the CPU usage too high?
I'm tryng to choose between the 11.6" Air and the 13.3" Pro. I want to know if the baseline 11.6" Air sufficient to run Photoshop? That's the most taxing software I will be running. I might use this laptop for school in some graphic design classes, but this won't be for anything professional at all.
I'm trying to install Photoshop 5, and a message pops up saying "You can't open the application Install Photoshop because the Classic environment is no longer supported." What can I do??
