It's "fine" or more along the lines of "Meh." The 4090 is complete overkill and is a waste of money for Photoshop, since it won't take advantage of what makes a 4090 so fast. (It's not programmed to.) Plus the LED Rainbow Keyboard, I'm not a fan. You are editing photos, and the color casts from that keyboard would drive me nuts. The Display, is a Matte Screen, which is nice, but I don't think it's truly a IPS-Based Display, which is one of my requirements for using a laptop to edit photos. This is a "Gaming Laptop" meant for FPS Games, and not the direction I would have you head in. For me, it's a pass. Save your money. The AI Stuff is a new thing, and as the years go on, will be more important. For now, Adobe is just starting to scratch the surface with it.

They sure will.

I'm so glad you'll get to see it in real life. I'm always so nervous about people ordering screens online.

I’ve managed to do it now. I had to download it about 3 times because on the first two when I double clicked it said I didn’t have anything to open it with. Then it went to an .au file then eventually it worked. I have used it and tested it. Thank you

You helped save a lot of time in second guessing. I was on the right track following your tutorials but obviously something wasn’t adding up until I had your assistance. Thanks so much! I’m almost done with the backdrops and found this helpful as well to blend the backdrop better on the photos that didn’t technically need a full replacement. I just lowered the opacity of the gradient and continued to mask each photo.

If you go to my search page, and begin to type "Gradie..." you'll find a few resources.

I like the MSI Motherboards, and the Asus ROG models. That MSI should be fine. I'd buy it.

I'm slowly adding things back. So far, so good. You are awesome!

That laptop is fine. I'd use that until you can get your Desktop straightened out.

Dear Lord... I'm surprised Photoshop is working at all, especially if you are running the latest version of PS CC. Yeah, that Video Card doesn't have enough horsepower for Photoshop in 2025. Your lagging will just get worse as time goes on. Here is a list of recommended Video Cards for Photoshop. I recommend one with a score of 10,000 or better in 2025. The closest to your Video Card is a GeForce GTX 1060 with 5GB of Video Memory and that has a score of 4189. Before you head down this Rabbit Hole, it really sounds like you upgraded to Windows 11 on a 4 year old computer, and the components inside, while good 4 years ago, doesn't hold up to what Photoshop is now. This is why I recommend such expensive things and jump up-and-down about Video Cards. Adobe keeps upgrading Photoshop, it seems 2-3 times per year these days, and unless you have BEEFY Hardware, you can't blindly upgrade thinking things will work. I know folks like to purchase things they can afford, but what they really need to do is purchase things they NEED, and plan for the computer 4 years from now. Otherwise, you are buying a new computer every 36-48 months to keep up with software. Gone are the days of running Photoshop CS6 for 12 years. Feel free to purchase the WebRoot if you'd like. Personally, I wouldn't...but it's not my money. I would, however...start saving up for a new computer. Why a new computer? Because Video Cards these days are like "Computers within Computers." They are HUGE and a new NVIDIA RTX 4070 or 4080 (Hell, even one like a 3070 or 3080) won't physically fit inside your computer. Plus, you have to upgrade the Power Supply, and then your Motherboard probably won't have the type of slot you need to support it, then you have to buy a new Motherboard, RAM that will work and then a CPU Chip. All for a friggin' Video Card. It's just easier to purchase a new computer all at once. Cheaper too. To show you what I mean about purchasing a Video Card off the shelf, here is a YouTube Sort Video of someone installing a NVIDIA 4080 in their computer. Now you know what I mean about "HUGE." Try fitting one of those damn things into your Dell. LOL!!

With Security Complete, you are paying for a Password Keeper and Cloud Storage on top of the WebRoot stuff. If you want to go that route, "it's fine," I guess.

Thank you for the help!

This happens to everybody from time to time. I don't know why. Just re-load the actions.

Nope. POP3 is fine. LOL!!! I think I'm still on POP3, but it could be IMAP these days. Honestly? The most e-mail I get is just spam, so I've stopped paying attention to my e-mail. I currently have 32,828 messages on my iPhone. 99.99999% of them are spam of some kind.
