Photoshop CS6 work on HDD or SSD drives?

I bought a Windows 7 PC with 16 MB of RAM, 2 terabytes and a 250 GB SSD. I'm going to load Photoshop on the SSD and the operating system on the hard drive. Where the work must go?

It's a bit difficult to answer, as you not describe how you will use your system.  You'll almost exclusively Photoshop work with it or you are looking for good performance all around?

What brand and model SSD - what are you, specifically?  In general, if it is a model modern SSD with wear leveling devices in its internal controller and with other data that you have mentioned, you probably want to use the SSD for scratch, as SSD flow is very high (several hundred megabytes per second).  With levels of flow SSD, when Photoshop starts to use his workspace strongly declining performance is much less severe than with a HARD drive.  There is as far as many problems with an SSD on dedicating the reader to the task, even if there are other activities on disk latency close to zero means that SSD supports multitasking much better.

However, if you feel you will never exceed 250GB for the OS and applications (i.e., you will keep a relatively simple system), by using the SSD for OS and similar applications may be a better approach.  In this case it will be not enough space also for Photoshop scratch.

Just keep in mind when you plan your distribution "here, this will who goes" that Windows and its applications are really more comfortable with EVERYTHING works on the C: drive.  This is not to say that it is a necessity, just that things tend to work more smoothly in this configuration.  Given that, you can actually consider getting a second SSD and RAID 0 Bay to C: drive with plenty of available space.  This is the approach that I took (in my case with four SSDS).

    Will it still work under El Capitan?

    Hi jorism,

    Photoshop Cs6 is not officially supported on MAC OS X Photoshop system requirements 10.11.Refer

    For more information on Photoshop and 10.11 of the OS you can consult this document: Photoshop and El Capitan | Mac OS 10.11. It addresses Creative Cloud 2015, but perhaps also some information about your needs.

    You could also refer to the thread of the next forum, which addresses issues encountered with Photoshop CS6 after update to OS 10.11: Photoshop CS6 LATE after installing OSX El Capitan

  • Photoshop CS6 works does not properly on a MAC using Yosemite 10.10.4.

    I've recently updated to Yosemite in MAC OS X 10.6.8. My photoshop CS6 does not work correctly. The quick selection tool work very irregularly. I have to constantly move forward and backward to the selection tool to get to tools to work at all. None of the tools or keyboard shortcuts still work correctly. I uninstalled the Design Standard Suite and reinstalled several times. I also upgraded to the latest upgrades of the applications of this suite of inside Photoshop. I am at a loss. I contacted Adobe and I was told to download a version as a result of Design Standard and install this. I did this and it helps did ' t. Any help would be appreciated. I'm in the middle of a design project and need my Photoshop to run correctly. Other programs Adobe, Acrobat X, CS6 Illustrator and Indesign CS6 seem to work correctly.

    Thanks for any help,

  • CS6 organize no newly cloned SSD Drive

    I am running OSX on a Mac Pro mid 2012 10.9.5. All my applications are installed on the drive including 6 CS PS to boot. This an installed version of CS6 is not running on the cloud. I cloned this drive to a new SSD to boot. I nominated the SSD cloned as my boot drive. I was able to boot from this drive cloned with all my apps launch without a hitch. The exceptions are CS5 and CS6.

    When I try to launch the new drive CS6 first I get the error message "Could not open zero because the disk is not available" by clicking ok is followed by the message "could not initialize Photoshop because the disk is not available.

    What are the possible fixes? I would prefer not to have to reinstall as I always had trouble with re to record. Would it be useful to disassemble my original boot drive?

    Any suggestions?

    Running applications focused on other players does not work.  You must install the software disks or downloads.  The installation routine makes the necessary changes to system (registry) files, etc...

    From my experience, produced Adobe (Creative Suite & Creative Cloud) work best when they are installed on the main hard drive - in Apps (Mac) or folders Program Files (Win).  Of course, you can store your work files in any local folder or a drive that you want.  It is up to you.

  • How to set EPSON Scan 3.07 to work in Adobe Photoshop CS6 Import window in Mac OS 10.9.4 Mavericks

    I cannot scan with my EPSON Perfection 2480 PHOTO scanner images, as it did when I used Photoshop CS2 Photoshop CS6. I downloaded the latest driver (EPSON Scan A 3.07), and placed his plugin directly in the folder Plug - ins Photoshop CS6, it is still not appearing in the import / import Images from the Device menu option. Is there a way to make this work? Certainly, I am able to use EPSON Scan out of Photoshop, but I would rather simply scan while in Photoshop CS6. (I use a Mac using OS X version 10.9.4 Mavericks).

    No doubt read this article: Get your scanner to work with Photoshop CS6 | Macworld

    More than likely your Twain driver is 32-bit and Photoshop CS6 is pure 64-bit. Then you should look at the ideas in this article.

  • best operating system for Photoshop cs6

    What is the best operating system for Photoshop cs6? Choose 32-bit or 64-bit? Windows 8 is compatible?

    Photoshop works well on most systems and has problems on some systems - either Mac or PC.  It's not really work "better" on either.  This (great) selection of the platform must be based on other factors.

    Note that Photoshop CS6 works in 64-bit Mac OSX.

    If you work on large images, Photoshop can really use the address space of extra RAM that can provide a 64 bit OS.  If you are wanting to go with Windows and some hope scalability really probably want to consider variants of Windows x 64.

    Windows 7 x 64 is mature and very functional.  Windows 8, not really after being released to the public yet, is fairly new to consider immediately (although I tested it carefully).  Display drivers may not be ready, plus a few things that you know and love has actually been removed (for example, the Start button).

    Personally I suggest to go with Windows 7 x 64 for now - that's what I'm staying with - at least until the dust settles a little after the release of Windows 8.

    Regarding the compatibility of the applications you have specific concerns?  Windows 7 x 64 works virtually any 32-bit application very well indeed.  It will not run 16-bit applications (for example, from 15 + years), but if you still absolutely need one of these there is the possibility of running virtual XP in Windows 7.

    I'm a student and considering the purchase of Photoshop CS6 extended student and Teacher Edition.

    My current operating system is Mac OS x Snow Leopard, but will in the future be upgraded to OSX Lion or Mountain Lion.

    Can Anyoine tell me if this version of Photo Shop is fully compatible with the operating systems mentioned above?

    Mountain Lion is not done and not even out, so we can't comment on that.

    Hi YouMaCry,

    You have any records? or a USB recovery?

    If you cannot install an OS on your SSHD your SSHD can be defective, because it is reading it is cluster/bad sectors. A defective HDD/SSD/SSHD can still be detected (sometimes even when it is defective).

    To be sure contact Lenovo Support Center and ask them to send you your SSHD/unit in a get fully tested Lenovo the SSHD repair depot - and have defective parts repaired within a reasonable time!

  • Intel Graphics Driver crashes when you start Photoshop CS6 on Vaio SVF15319SNB

    I bought a Sony Vaio SVF15319SNB and it asked me to upgrade to 8.1 Windows for free.

    After this update, I've updated all the drivers required Sony Vaio update and after you have installed Adobe Creative Suite 6 to use this product.

    Unfortunately, this is where the problem started. Not only runs Photoshop CS6 extremely slow and lag on my machine (which has a decent configuration and 4 GB of ram to work properly), but almost every time I boot up Photoshop, my driver intel graphics crashes and I get a message saying "Intel Graphics Driver for Windows 8 (R) stopped working and have been recovered" or something like that. This post, my Photoshop has erradicaly. When I do get this message, Photoshop works very well except be lag, so I guess that which directly has something to do with the compatibility of the Intel with Photoshop graphics driver.

    I tried the Intel graphics driver update but discovered that even if an update is available on the Intel website, Sony has still not launched a support for Vaio version.

    When I was going through the Event Viewer logs, I found that there are two or three events (warnings) that are generated by the system which seems scary as ideally a new machine should not generate too many warnings.

    Any help on this would be appreciated.

    In the meantime a solution from Sony or other members, I could do some troubleshooting and find the solution to this weird problem on my own.

    Weird that no one else has raised a similar question!

    When playing online, I found that it is a typical problem with Photoshop CS6 in machines having 2 graphics cards (1 built-in to the motherboard, 1 adapter dedicated graphics - nvidia in my case). The default configuration for machines with double adapter is to automatically select the best card for an application.

    When Photoshop CS6 is trying to load, it tries to select the graphics card tailored to this effect by running sniffer_gpu.exe. It is this module crahses and in turn is also crushing Intel graphics driver. Due to this accident, Photoshop freezes when opening any file (regardless of the size of the file or its format).

    Solution that has been open you view the settings of the adapter and the whole Photoshop CS6 and sniffer_gpu.exe for photoshop to use a graphic adapter special at all times - I have updated my nvidia card. That isn't it - crahses more or freezes and all is well!

    I hope this helps other troubled users also!

    At work, my photoshop CS6 is printing so slow, it takes up to 1 minute to produce printing. We have a printer Canon Imagepress C700. What can be the problem? Help please, anyone!

    Tells us that the problem is in the printer itself or the printer driver - because Photoshop and InDesign do not share any code to print (they don't use even the same APIs to print).

  • Clone the hard disk, including Photoshop CS6, and now it works like a trial Extended CS6.  Why?

    I was running a licensed version of Photoshop CS6 on computer Dell Precision T3500 years.

    The hard disk was running out of space, so I disabled Photoshop CS6 (not uninstall), cloned successfully, all of the hard drive on a new larger hard drive, and then again CS6.  He now works as a trial Extended CS6.  Why?

    At this point, I'm not re-entered my serial number, since I did not purchase the extended version.

    I would she runs as just CS6 (not extended) and be able to activate it with the same serial number, I used before.

    (Over the years, I've updated since Photoshop CS2, in CS4, CS5, CS6 to - don't know if it matters in this case).

    Enter your serial number and your extended trial period will be converted to a full ch (not extended) when your serial number is evaluated.
