Todays Photoshop Update

[JoshLoring]

Casey, could it be the 200Mb video driver update for OpenGL I missed? I will give it a try.
Busy.. Really Cs3 working alright? Nice! I haven't use any plugins for several years but on occasion to use Alien stuff I have to use the non-64bit versions. Lame

I really get fed up having to upgrade all the time....I own my business so the $$ comes out of my pocket. The computer we just built is fairly high end and I have a 1 GIG video card, so that helps too. When I have to I'll upgrade to CS4. For now, I'm sitting on my $$.

They said it couldn't be done, but I'm running CS3 with Windows XP Pro 64 bit (not vista)---works fine! 8 gigs memory (extra drive for scratch drive). Works fine, much faster then before.

We used to run CS3 on XP64 a year ago. But with the performance increases you can get out of Vista and CS4, we changed over ASAP.

I sure could be that driver. It is worth a try for sure.

Alien Skin says that they are going to release all of their new stuff to work with 64 Bit PS, but the old stuff is not getting upgraded. I agree, lame. Those plugins could use a performance increase for sure.

Guess I better think about changing over.

But you need Vista too. The 64 Bit version of Photoshop is only supported on Vista 64.

There are some that have gotten it to work on XP64, but it seems hit or miss and reliability becomes a factor.

So I need CS4 and Vista both? I don't think the CS3 will run on Vista will it.

Busy-
We are speaking in terms of if you want the fastest possible combination of software you would need Windows 64bit, with CS4 64bit. <--Keep in mind that is only relative to the PC you have pushing the two. I think Casey has what you need =)

Yep, but Photoshop CS4 runs sooooo much faster if you have the right hardware and Vista 64.

My computer is new and I built my own, but thanks for the heads up. I used to own a computer business and got burned out. I looked at Casey's web site, good stuff, too.
