I use Adobe Photoshop CC 2015 and it takes a long time to open... too long!  How can I allocate more memory to the program photoshop - I have a lot on the computer, but photoshop is a great program and needs more juice - need help!

More memory to an application.

Hello...

Try not to have too many applications running at the same time, you use Photoshop. Freeing system resources.

Adobe recommends up to 8 GB of RAM here > https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/system-requirements.html

You can see how much memory is installed on your Mac by clicking on your Apple  menu then click on about this Mac, then make sure that the "View" tab is selected.

The amount of RAM is installed on your Mac is noted here.

  • How can I reinstall windows xp when the computer does not start and there is no cdrom/dvd drive?

    I have an Acer netbook aspire one.  It will not boot past the windows logo.  I have a windows xp disc to reinstall windows, but the computer has no CD or dvd rom.  Can I copy cd of windows xp on startup SD memory card and reinstall windows?  Or can I run connect the non working pc a working PC to access the cdrom on the work pc to reinstall windows?

    First of all, you are mistaken when you say that the PC does not start.

    This is clearly starting. The problem comes from Windows, not with the real PC. It's actually a very important distinction!

    There are methods to repair Windows, but they can be a bit tedious. By all means, follow the advice given here to do if you're so inclined.

    If you would not rather to repair Windows (and I think it's interesting a try) or your repair attempts are unsuccessful, apparently, you would need to use an external optical disc drive and follow the instructions here:

  • New to Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 and need help!

    I am new to Adobe Premiere Pro CS6, and I have two quick questions.

    1. Ctrl + K only works on 1 video, but not on the video 2, video 3, etc... Why?

    2. whenever I use Windows Live Movie Maker to convert video files, they import in the first half with superior video missing. I uninstalled security update kb2803821 and restarted my PC. It worked. But updates of Windows 7 all the time, so I will have this problem over and over again? And if so, how do I know what security update for every moment of the uninstall?

    I use the trial version of this software and want to know the answers to these questions before I committ and buy the complete thing. Thank you!

  • I have century link for my internet and they put sort of a Qwest tab that opens every time I open firefox. How can I get rid of him?

    I downloaded a link that Qwest offered to do my upgrade to 10 GB soft windows. After that download is when the additional tab Qwest appeared. It is not listed as my home page and I deleted the download but I still get the tab everytime I open Firefox and I want to get rid of it.

    If the page does not appear when you call a new window (Ctrl + n) or click on the Home button, it could be incorporated into the shortcut you use to start Firefox. You can check a shortcut from the desktop/taskbar changed as follows:

    • Shortcut on the desktop: right-click on the icon, choose Properties
    • Icon taskbar pinned: clic click right on the icon, right click in Mozilla Firefox, click on properties

    Windows normally selects the shortcut tab. If this is not the case, go ahead and click on the shortcut tab.

    The target line do not need anything after this part:

    • Windows 64-bit, standard 32-bit Firefox: "C:\Program Files (x 86) \Mozilla.
    • Windows 64-bit, 64-bit Firefox test: "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe"
    • 32-bit Windows: "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe"

    If all URLS are listed after this, claire them and save your changes. To test, you can:

    • Shortcut on the desktop: double-click the icon to launch a new window
    • Icon taskbar pinned: right-click on the icon, click Mozilla Firefox to open a new window

    If you get only your homepage, it worked.

  • How can I send faxes directly to the computer?

    I have an Officejet Pro 8500 a HP all-in-one.  My computer operating system is windows Vista home and the printer is connected wireless to my home network.  I want to know how to send a fax received from the printer directly to the computer without having to print on paper first.  Occasionally, my printer working ink or for any other reason, I'm not going to want to print a paper copy of a received fax.  I may still need to read the fax.  I wish I could print the faxes in my computer so I can read and print the latter if necessary. Thanks for the help. Jim

    Ah, I finally found!  It's an option under HP digital fax on the control panel of the product.  Thus, for some reason, the process with my printer was very complicated:

    1. I tried to configure digital facsimile from the control panel of the product.  He ordered me to use the software on the computer that comes with the printer; as well;

    2. I tried this software.  But the software I had installed my printer do not have an option for digital Fax, so;

    3. I went to the product HP digital fax option control panel that directed me to the built-in web server, therefore;

    4. I opened the built-in web server. But although this software has options for HP digital fax it doesn't have an option to stop printing paper, so;

    5. I had to go back to the product digital HP Fax option control panel and find the option to disable fax print it!

    Of course, at almost every step along the way that I should try to set up the printer, and then understand why it didn't work the way I wanted to and then go on the support forum, read page after page of messages, return to the printer, try various "solutions" online, then go back to forums, etc, etc. etc.  It seems that HP could do a much better job in the design of its product interface software so that customers did not have to spend as much time find answers to simple questions.

  • Adobe Photoshop is good for me? Need help please!

    Model: PC laptop Presario CQ57

    Process: CPU AMD C-50

    Installed: (sharp RAM) memory: 2.00 GB (1,60 GB usable)

    System type: 64-bit operating system

    He said 180 GB free on the startup disk that I know is not recommended to use the boot drive C but I don't understand why photoshop will not work if I freakin 180 GB of available but, there again, I'm not a techie. I have also 1,60 GB on drive D, but the two are not enough I can barely do a single function without a screen of forthcoming loading 5 minutes. If someone could help me that would be so great. If you know even about other programs that could do something like create a professional header looking for download on a Web site that is also very appreciated. Seriously, I've had only creative cloud for photoshop to create Web site headers and it turns out be the biggest pain in my ass since becoming an internet entrepreneur.

    Sincerely,

    a VERY frustrated user of photoshop

    The laptop seems to be underpowered to run Photoshop.

    If it's simply desired web banners, try using Fireworks, a dedicated web graphics application (also part of the cloud).

  • How can I re - install Acrobat 9 Pro from a Master Collection CS4 to a new computer, but I don't want the rest of the collection? The prompt will not accept my serial number.

    I've migrated Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro from an old computer. When I try to run my adobe pdf files, the app invites me to enter a serial number. The number I have is for the CS4 Master Collection. The system will not accept this number. Anyone know what I can do in addition to re-setup of the entire collection (which I don't need)? And how to avoid having to buy a new Acrobat Pro?

    You can not migrate to the installations of the Adobe software from one system to the other, as these applications install plug-ins and various preferences and code in several locations on your system (Windows and Mac OS - and WIndows was also the question of a myriad of registry entries). You must disable it on your old system and installation of support on your new system. There is no shortcut for this. Sorry!
