Vastly improved and easily customizable in Firefox

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Mon, 07 May 2012 10:08:26 GMT

The new forum is a vast improvement in terms of performance—it screams in comparison to the Jive molasses we had been putting up with and it's very easily customizable in Firefox through a number of scripts and AdBlock Plus.

The images below show what a customized topic index page and an customized open thread page look like in Firefox 3.6.28 (the last Firefox release to support a Power Mac PPC) look like, respectively. OS is 10.4.11.

These are very welcome changes.

Very slow performance today

Just wanted to report that the forums are slow as molasses in winter this afternoon in the West Coast of the USA today.

It's taking anywhere from 5 to 20 seconds or more for a new page to download.

Only mentioning this because it was blindingly fast yesterday.

Does the free CS6—under the offer—ship automatically ?

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Mon, 23 Apr 2012 11:36:30 GMT

Having bought CS5 after the official announcement of CS6 under the special offer, I'm now entitled to receive CS6 for free.

Is anyone here in a position to tell me if CS6 will automatically ship on May 7, or is there a procedure I have to follow (such as nagging Adobe customer service ) ?

Benefits of new rendering most apparent for Nikon and Canon. Kudos to Adobe, shame CanonNikon

My subjective findings, based on a necessarily limited number of samples and my own limited, non-professional experience, make me realize that Adobe has from day one met with no cooperation from Canon and Nikon regarding their raw formats. This impression is reinforced by reviewing old posts in this forum that show the most complaints about subtle and not-so-subtle disappointments with the rendering of raw files concern these two giant market leaders.

ACR eventually catches up and continually corrects deficiencies noted by users.

By contrast, those of us who use a variety of other camera brands, in my particular case Pentax DSLRs, find that ACR has always hit the optimal rendering of Pentax PEF and DNG files from day one or has come darned close to it. Thus, the new 2012 rendering and other ACR improvements have a much greater impact on Canon and Nikon image captures.

It would be interesting to hear comments on the experiences of users of other digital camera brands, other than Nikon and Canon.

Thanks for the option to customize the Ps interface

Just wanted to express my appreciation to the powers that be for making the new, dark Photoshop 13.x interface customizable.

Yes, I understand that some (many?) have praised the dark interface, but I found it simply unbearable. I'm very grateful for the option to change it.

What a relief!

This "CS6" works very, very well.

Uninstalling, then re-installing the CS6 beta trial on the same Mac 

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Tue, 03 Apr 2012 00:10:19 GMT

My inquiry is really simple:

Can anybody authoritatively confirm that it is possible to uninstall the CS6 beta trial, then re-install it on the same Mac and it will continue to work as when you first installed it, before the uninstall.

That's all. Forget about any other version of any other software being installed or not.

This was not possible with previous trial versions, as the trial would expire instantly upon uninstalling it.

I'm starting a new thread to get away from any confusion.

Thank you.

 Ps installation on two different boot volumes of same machine?  Ps 11.0.2 Mac PPC  and then...

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Sun, 25 Mar 2012 09:43:13 GMT

Hello, I'm new to this forum.

My goal here is to have two different Photoshop 11.0.2 installations on two different boot volumes of one and the same Power Mac (PPC) G5 Quad, one being a Tiger 10.4.11 system and the other one a Leopard 10.5.8 system, for the purpose of installing two different modalities of the same Epson Photo Stylus 2200 printer, one with the printer set to use the photo black ink cartridge for luster and glossy papers, and the other one using the matte blank ink.

This is because I prefer to simply change the startup disk when switching inks rather than having to delete and re-add the necessary printers. (This particular printer does not support ink cartridge switching under any version of Mac OS X.)

Photoshop is currently only used on this one machine. Obviously this intended scheme fits well within the EULA conditions.

My three questions are:

(a) whether there is any technical issue I have failed to consider,

(b) whether each copy of Photoshop on the same machine will have to be activated separately (in other words, is the activation tied to the CPU or to the boot volume drive?), and

(c) if the answer to the latter question is yes, whether this will count as one or two activations for purposes of later installing a single instance of the Photoshop 13.x ("CS6") upgrade on an Intel- MacBook, since obviously C6 will not run on my PPC Mac. Again in sum, will I be able to continue to run Photoshop 11.0.2 on two different volumes of the same PPC machine and the Photoshop 13.x upgrade on the laptop?

As further explanation, I would use Photoshop 13.x on the Mac-Intel laptop only in order to run ACR 7.x, but would keep my PPC G5 Quad as my photo editing and printing machine running Photoshop 11.0.2, since an upgrade of my desktop machine to a comparably powerful Mac Pro is simply not an option for both financial and technical reasons (the Classic environment is essential).

Any and all input and guidance will be appreciated.
