Recommendations for computer for illustrator / indesign

I mainly use use illustrator (and indesign) for illustration and book design (photoshop and bridge). I'm having a problem with my current computer set up when my illustrator file gets up around 3 MB each change (with live paint groups already created) takes about 12 to 15 seconds. This includes simply move an anchor!

My current computer (as it is inappropriate) is a Dell Inspiron e1505. Has 2 MB of Ram, Dual Core T2050 @ 1.6 GHz. With a hard drive to Go 85 (with 18 GB free).

I wonder what kind of computer, I should go to for better performance? Should I go with a Mac Pro or an imac will do? (Or should I stay with a PC?) I understand that I can upgrade to Adobe CS4 to a platform from apple (I am currently using CS3 on the PC). I'm not worried about having spend platforms. I just want to take the right decision. It's my second book, and I have about eight more to do. I can't go on like this!

Thank you very much for your help,

Cathy

Most of the Illustrator is not multi-threaded. This means that you will get no increase running a multiprocessor (Mac or PC) machine.

The only real way to improve performance is to have a dedicated scratch disk, not just a partition and as long as the amount of RAM as possible and a faster processor. Illustrator, being a 32-bit application cannot access any more than 3.3 GB RAM however have more RAM that this will allow to all the operating system runs faster. Of course, impatient, if CS5 is 64-bit applications will be able to access more RAM.

I pretty much will work even on an 8-core machine as it does on a single core machine if the RAM, processor speed and drive work are the same.

I think that Indesign can make better use of a beefier system. But I don't know to what extent.

  • Recommended system requirements for Illustrator CS6

    Hello

    Wanted to know what system configuration recommended for the execution of Illustrator CS6. Although this information is displayed on the site Web of Adobe a couple of salespeople said to a workstation entry level for the treatment of the hi resolution images. We are in real estate and deal with hi resolution pictures for advertising, panels etc.

    The workstations are quite expensive compared to the all in one PC of office that are available on the market.

    Please guide.

    Kind regards

    Amit

    any 64-bit computer that supports a screen resolution of 1280 x 800 would be able to bear to illustrator cs6.  That is to say, it is rare to find a pc/mac 64-bit that did not meet all specifications of the Illustrator 6.

    If you are considering buying a particular computer and you want to know if it meets the specifications, post a link to the computer.

  • Recommend a computer for a web graphic artist/designer?

    What Dell desktop model would you recommend for a web graphic artist/designer? What are the options and what screen? Please note that things are essential and which are nice luxuries.

    Thank you!

    Haha, I was JUST talking to a friend who wants to use the blender for animation work & a PC (or Mac since it has debate between them) for him. She is a computer laptop 17 "who want to, but I think you want a desktop computer, Yes?

    If so I have set up this Studio XPS 7100 for you real quick.
    Phenom II X 4 820 + ATI Radeon HD 5450 1 GB
    -[Change of the 945 CPU series for $40]-
    -[Change the combo CPU/GPU for the Phenom II X 4 820 + Radeon HD5770 for $130].
    -[Change the combo CPU/GPU for the Phenom II X 4 945 + Radeon HD5770 for $170]-
    4 GB RAM DDR3
    750 GB HARD drive (get twice the space, 1.5 to, for $100 more)
    No WiFi [add WiFi-N for $40]
    $739,99

    Or an Inspiron desktop PC - 580 is a good choice:

    Core i5-750 (no upgrade option)
    ATI Radeon HD 5450 1 GB of DDR3 memory (no upgrade option)
    4 GB RAM DDR3
    750 GB HARD drive (more great option is 1.5 TB for $60)
    No WiFi option
    $649.99
    I think you're going after the Studio XPS for two reasons: 1) it is their more "professional" series without being in the category of small businesses. And (2) Sudio XPS [IMHO & encompassing experience] have hardware failures less than any other brand Dell - except perhaps Alienware. But if they fail they break hard [as at the most $$$ + time of difficulty].

    Doesn't include no guarantees or additional software (office, programs Adobe, etc.).

    A little more in detail about my choice:
    AMD Phenom II X 4 CPU work comparable to the Core i5 series - usually, the differences being between 3 and 5% in various tasks (except games) according to hardwaresecrets.com - in order not to sweat a significant difference in performance. For what you do, being for the most intensive graphics, I can't say that your CPU will take into account as well.

    My concern is bridge - not being is not familiar with it, I had to do a little research. It is certainly more time intensive GPU CPU. So based on the measure you use it you might otherwise. Which can be discussed if needed.

    Speaking of graphics, the ATI Radeon HD 5450 is a 1 GB model. By design, it is better to have a bigger framebuffer (in other words, the video RAM) and a fast GPU. Games & video encoding hardcore would benefit more from that. Of course, feel free to upgrade the processor in the Studio - you are not able to do in the initial configuration of the Inspiron 580 on the site. But it can always been done later, if necessary.

    Finally, I would state that it is both moderately specc'd had systems. It will last you a few years in terms of decent performance. After that I'm sure Adobe CS 6 or 7 will have new encoding software to take advantage of the new new equipment manufacturers. If you are looking for something that will last longer... well consider a bigger budget [I don't know what yours is] & factor something like a Core i7, 8 GB of RAM (at least) and an ATI 5770 in there with the larger hard drive, you can manage.

    I'll be happy to help you more, if you ask. Just after once you have read this.

  • Updated for Photoshop, InDesign, and Illustrator 6/18, now nothing does not open: error 16

    Updated for Photoshop, InDesign, and Illustrator 6/18, now nothing does not open: error 16. None of the 16 fixed error using the Adobe PCD folder permissionms and SLS store work. Uninstall and reinstall do not work. Is on the phone with Adobe 5 times since that happened on June 18. Probalby spent 5 hours on the phone with 4 different tech. I'm waiting for a recall, but the guy Adobe told me that it will be 2 days. Other engine have this same problem... everything is resolved? Help!

    PS - also made a new user account and tried to open with that, thinking it was a permissions problem. Always error 16. Frustrating... can not work if I don't have the software.

    I found a solution on a post in the forum.

    Installation of creative application Cloud Desktop caused my PS CS6 and applications of Cloud Photoshop CC go error 16. After trying just about everything, open the Terminal and type:

    sudo chmod-r 777 library/Application\ Support / Adobe

    instantly solves the problem.

    I think I typed in my login pw also when he asked for it.

    It worked for me also! After 8 days and 7 hours on the phone with Adobe, it worked. And no thanks Adobe... the tech support people 'high' of my case, but continued in havingme circles try the same thing with the same results: error 16. I was promised a call back 3 times and NEVER RECEIVED a reminder. I used to think strongly about Adobe and I look forward to the new release... no more. It is aggravating and costly for a professional designer go 8 days without being able to use the software, that we rely on. Kudo forum for suggesting a solution that works. Boo to Adobe for not to do so.

    Sorry, but if your device is disabled and you have no backup, then you won't be able to save the data on the device:

    https://support.Apple.com/en-us/HT204306

    You should back up your device regularly to iCloud or import your photos to an application on your computer. Otherwise, you will be risking losing those photos. If your device has been lost, stolen, or crushed by your car, you'd be in the same situation. Really sorry for your photos.

  • The antivirus that is recommended for Mac?

    As I noticed that the forum alert alert does not install MacKeeper, may I know which antivirus is recommended for my Mac Pro, please?

    None are required or recommended beyond what is installed with OS X. If you have an adware:

    Remove the browser pop up problems

    Malwarebytes Anti-Malware 1.0.1.7

    Adblock Plus 1.8.9, GlimmerBlockeror AdBlock

    Remove the adware that displays pop-up ads and graphics on your Mac

    Useful links about Malware problems

    "If you have an immediate problem with ads popping up see the Mac without danger" Adware Removal Guide, remove the advertising software that shows ads advertising and graphics on your Macand MalwareBytes for Mac. If you need antivirus protection Thomas Reed recommends to use ClamXAV. (Thanks to Thomas Reed to this recommendation.) You might consider adding this Safari extensions: Adblock Plus 1.8.9.

    Open Safari, select Preferences from the Safari menu. Click the Extensions icon in the toolbar. Disable all Extensions. If it stops your problem, then re-enable one by one until the problem returns. Now remove this extension as it is the origin of the problem.

    The following comes from user stevejobsfan0123. I made minor changes to adapt to this presentation.

    Difficulty of pop-ups in browser that support Safari.

    Common pop - ups include a message saying that the Government has taken over your computer and you pay release (often called "Moneypak"), or a false message saying that your computer has been infected and you need to call a number of tech support (sometimes claiming to be Apple) to get it to be resolved. First of all, understand that these pop-ups are not caused by a virus and that your computer has not been assigned. This "hack" is limited to your web browser. Also understand that these messages are scams, so don't pay not money, call number, or provide personal information. This article will give an overview of the solution to remove the pop-up window.

    Quit Safari

    Usually, these pop-ups will not go by clicking 'OK' or 'Cancel '. In addition, several menus in the menu bar may become disabled and show in grey, including the option to leave Safari. You'll probably force quit Safari. To do this, press command + option + ESC, select Safari, press on force quit.

    Relaunch Safari

    If you restart Safari, the page will reopen. To avoid this, hold the "Shift" key when opening Safari. This will prevent windows since the last time that Safari was running since the reopening.

    It will not work in all cases. The SHIFT key must be maintained at the right time, and in some cases, even if done correctly, the window is displayed again. In these circumstances, after force quit Safari, turn off Wi - Fi or disconnect Ethernet, depending on how you connect to the Internet. Then restart Safari normally. He'll try to reload the malicious Web page, but without a connection, it will not be able to. Leave this page by entering a different URL, i.e. www.apple.com and try to load it. Now you can reconnect to the Internet and the page that you entered is displayed rather than the malicious.
