Please advise a computer artist from novice about requirements for large files in PS?

I am researching my next computer.

I'm an artist currently using CS2 to rework my paintings into prints.

http://s719.Photobucket.com/albums/ww198/blueridernz/Rachel%20Thompson%20Portfolio/?albumv iew = slide show

The paintings have been digitized in high resolution and are 500 MB.

Image files I work with are large, but the process is simple, I'm extracting and collages.

Nothing too technical here.

As I need to print large, 9' x 4', the end result file could be 2 GB which I understand is the limit for PSD files.

I'm not games or editing video, just files work with large images.

What I've read I think I need

Core i7

Game 12 of 3 GB RAM

GeForce GTX 460

Any advice appreciated,

Rachel.

The graphics card is perhaps a little exaggerated, if you paint really just and retouching in PS. A less hungry and less expensive model power would do the trick. The rest should do just fine, but remember that it will not do much good if you don't get a 64-bit operating system and may also upgrade CS5 to make use of all these resources. You might not even be able to install CS2 on Windows 7...

  • Photosmart C4780: Computer falls down USB system requirements for C4780 printer

    Downloading printer driver HP on brand new computer, I get the error at the following system requirements:

    "This computer has no USB software necessary support to allow for the completion of an intallation USB."

    The printer is not connected.

    All the computer USB ports work fine that they recognize and allow me to read a flash drive. The computer manufacturer said that it is not their problem, as the USB ports work fine.

    What could be the problem?

    Thank you very much.

    Hello
    Click the Start button and type folder in the search bar, then open the Temp folder indicated.

    Open the last HP installation folder that begins with 7z (e.g. 7zs1234)
    Open the installation folder.
    Find the file usbready.exe and rename it to usbready.old.exe
    Navigate to the main extraction folder (folders that begins with 7z) and run the Setup.exe file.

    Now follow the installation and check for the difference.

  • My computer with Windows 7 Home updated for Firefox v34.0.5 but my two computers that are running Windows 7 Pro have not yet updated beyond Firefox v34.0. Something wrong?

    See info above. I re - run the update process at least 10 times on the two machines running Windows 7 Pro (most recently this morning), and whenever the two machines running Windows 7 Pro (one is 64-bit, one is 32-bit) say that Firefox v34.0 is "up-to-date". I checked Mozilla.org, which States that Firefox v34.0.5 was released in mid-December, but he said nothing about whether this update was only for some OSs. I also ran several scans antivirus from different vendors on two machines running Windows 7 Pro and all scans show no problems.

    Please advise is there are different versions of Firefox for Windows 7 family or Professional Edition, or if I'm having a problem. If I'm having a problem, please tell us how I can correct.

    We changed how updates were deployed to a test, that's why you were probably the 34.0.5 on a computer and 34.0.0 on the other. The only difference between them is that 34.0.5 defines yahoo as the default search. You don't need to worry because of the different versions (who both were released at the same time BTW)

  • Internet Explorer says that hpqsrmon stopped working properly.went to download the update and a warning that this file type can potentially harm my computer... Please advise what I need to do

    Solutions and problem reports is saying that hpqsrmon has stopped working properly... I went to download the update and received a warning that this file can potentially harm my computer... Please advise should I run this update...

    If you get the warning on the download of an update of HP and IE tries to run the file, as long as you get the file directly from HP, it should be safe to run this file.

    According to this link, hpqsrmon is part of the HP PhotoSmart. You can also try to go to the HP support site, the model of your HP to input product, then download the latest drivers associated with your version of Windows.

    Once you do this there is a chance that the error will disappear, as the current version may be affected by a bug that has since been fixed by HP in their software.

    Thanks for the quick responses today from anyone in the community,

    -Mark, Portland Oregon

    Please provide details: you are not trying to change the file type by changing just the extension, are you?  That won't work of course,

    Either you try to run some type of script?

    To change a file type, you have TO open the file in Photoshop and do save as.  That can be automated.

  • Please advise this newbie: AV or battery

    My trusty series L just died and I bought a Toshiba Satellite C660-155.

    I have always used my laptop in the House, he takes very rarely coming and going and have always used the laptop is connected to the electric network. I turn it on every night and every morning and it is plugged in all day. I never use it on battery power only.

    Is someone can you please advise me if it's wrong for optimal use? Could I be damaging the laptop by always connected? Should I use it on battery occasionally?

    If I intend to use it always plugged into the power outlet - is possible to completely take out the battery and use it like that?

    I don't know anything about portable computers operation in fact - even if I can use an ok - LOL so appreciate any advice on how to get the best from my new Toshiba

    Thank you

    In General, you can use our laptop with and without power running.
    My 2 years old notebook in my office is always connected to an electric power supply and it works perfectly.
    So in my opinion, you shouldn't be worried about it.

    From time to time, you should use only battery power. I'd say once a week, use your laptop on battery only. When the battery is almost empty plug it back n power running.

    By the way: check it please this interesting document http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD9401AZ0001R01.htm Toshiba

  • Fallout 3 stops working after the computer wakes from sleep

    Since the games for Windows Live 3 is out, Fallout 3 has never been the same. He used to work at best my GfWL and now her nightmare. Recently, after that I quit the game and put my computer to sleep, Fallout 3 will stop working completely after wake up. I try to start it and I get them all is a cursor with a small blue rotating light. What is even more strange, is that my computer goes into a State of semi who no longer meet this point where programs and keyboard shortcuts no longer work, but I can browse my hard drive. I try control + SHIFT + ESC to see what the devil but that causes Windows Explorer to stop working. CTRL + Alt + Delete does not work either. No matter what I try, once I start Fallout 3 after the computer wakes from sleep, I can't do the task to the top manager and I can't use my computer. The only way to get it is to hit the reset button or turn off manually. Can someone please help to get rid of this problem?

    Hi murphy449,

    1. did you of recent changes on the computer?

    2. the problem only happens when you start fallout 3 after the sleep mode?

    3. are you able to wake the computer quits successfully sleep mode?

    4. What is the version of Windows installed on the computer?

    Method 1

    I suggest that you manually download and install the latest drivers for display on the computer card and check if it works.

    Updated a hardware driver that is not working properly

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/update-a-driver-for-hardware-that-isn ' t-work correctly

    Updated a hardware driver that is not working properly

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/update-a-driver-for-hardware-that-isn ' t-work correctly

    Method 2

    If the previous step fails then I suggest that you try the clean boot procedure to check whether a third-party program installed on the computer is causing the problem.

    To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows Vista or Windows 7 by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

    See the link below to learn more about how to clean boot.

    Reset the computer to start as usual

    When you are finished troubleshooting, follow these steps to reset the computer to start as usual:

    (a) click Start, type msconfig in the search box and press ENTER.

    (b) If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type your password or click on continue.

    (c) under the general tab, click the Normal startup option, and then click OK.

    (d) when you are prompted to restart the computer, click on restart.

    If the previous step fails then I suggest you check the observer after return with details and events for the cause.

    What are the information contained in the logs of the event (Event Viewer)?

  • "the igxprd32 display driver has stopped working normally please restart your computer" on intel gma 3150

    "the igxprd32 display driver has stopped working normally please restart your computer" on intel gma 3150, especially when I run 3d games or install Skype 5 and start on this video than the above message appears please advise solution and oblidge. Thank you

    First of all, you're not telling the forum what version of Windows, edition and service pack level your system is running.  Please do.

    Secondly, there is no describe your system.  Tell us who makes your system and its model, if a packaged system.  If not packed, please tell us who manufactured your motherboard and model.  If your video card is another box and not originally shipped with the system, please tell us the manufacturer and model of the adapter.

    Finally and most importantly, please read 555375 Microsoft Knowledge base article, how to ask a question.

    Now, in general, unless your system has a card mother Intel®, you do not want to download an updated directly from Intel® driver.  If there is a system, you will want to download an update of the driver support from the manufacturer of your system model site.  If not packed, see web site for support of the manufacturer of the motherboard for your updated driver model.  If this isn't the case, a card mother Intel®, the reason for the not to load the Intel® GMA 3150 drivers from the web site Intel® is that there may be unhandled in the Inte® base drivers implementation changes.  Nor should download the drivers through Windows Update, except as a last resort.  If Windows Update contains an updated driver, check you motherboard of the system/website of the manufacturer for updates.  Be aware that some manufacturers/motherboard of the system (e.g. Dell) don't feel any economic incentive to keep the drivers/firmware to update if a motherboard system was abandoned.

  • I can't connect my pc to my tv with a vga cable - please advise.

    I can't connect my pc to my tv with a vga cable - please advise.

    Hi SuzieKK,

    Cables VGA, DVI and component video don't support audio signals. However, HDMI cables are supported, but not all, audio signals compatible HDMI video audio support cards. If your TV has an audio input, you might be able to connect an audio cable separate from their computer directly to the TV card. Otherwise, you need to connect the audio signal to a different device, such as external speakers or your stereo.

    You can see the following article for more information on connecting your computer to a TV:
