2. Re: Comprehensive list of "GPU features" in Ps Standard ?
station_two Jun 22, 2012 12:47 AM (in response to SG...)Well, it certainly should help, but I'm afraid it raises even more questions than I had before, Steve.
An awful lot of the GPU functions or features described in the FAQ are still available on the limited setup I referenced above, despite the fact that the Preferences > Performance dialog box reads No GPU options available in Photoshop Standard, as shown in the screen shot in my previous post.
I'm now guessing that the phrase GPU options has an entirely different meaning from GPU features or functions.
I suppose I'll just have to start keeping a list of features not available to me in that particular system if and when I run into them. For the time being, and for the stated purpose of performing ACR conversions, the limitations don't seem to affect me drastically, if at all.
Thank you for the link, Steve.

Many of the features have fallback support, so they compute using CPU instead of the GPU. So the feature will be present, just slower.
Glad the link was useful. I haven't fully read through it, but saw it had a bullet list.
regards,

Steve, if a minor bug report isn't already in your system, maybe you might want to add one. The "in Photoshop Standard" part is misleading.

SG... Jun 22, 2012 9:23 AM (in response to Noel Carboni)Hi Noel,
I think I've either seen that or logged that in the past. I'll take a look again as the "Standard" nomenclature bothers me too; there is no such product. Thankfully we didn't go down the Acrobat path of 'original', 'Pro', and 'Pro Extended'.

Thank you, Steve. That clears it up completely!
