    …and this is a Hail Mary Pass. If ACR still doesn’t like your Graphics Card, you are either buying a new card, replacing your computer or downgrading Photoshop, ACR, and Bridge to an older version that last worked. You will then never upgrade to a new version of PS. The days of running a modern copy of PS on a 5 year old computer are over. 

    It’s only money, right? 

    Maybe it's only money if you have a lot of it?!  Haha

    At any rate, I found that sniffer file, but now NVIDIA won't show the Select Graphics Processor drop down.  Also, I can't find the camera raw exe file anywhere!

    Thanks for all your time and help with this!!!

    Fourth, this is the sneaky thing with Dell and other manufacturers. Sure it's a NVIDIA Card, but it may not be one with 100% of the horsepower of true NVIDIA cards you buy off the shelf. This saves the manufacturers money, but you get screwed in the end when software starts complaining. So in reality, if you can't get the drivers to increase performance of the video card to make Photoshop happy, chances are you are looking at replacing the video card and possibly the power supply to support the new video card. It's up to you if you want to throw $1000 or so in doing this to your computer. I usually recommend a 850 Watt Power Supply to go with a NVIDIA RTX 3070, NVIDIA RTX 3070 Ti or NVIDIA RTX 3080.

    no way would the hubby be in for dumping $1k into this computer or for buying a new pc either 🙅‍♀️ 😆

  3. I have a PC desktop running Windows 10 and Photoshop 23.5.3. It is over 2 years old, and has 16GB of RAM. Its hard drive has 607GB free out of 915GB. The last time I shut down was earlier today. I run a cleanup program about once a week.  Dell XPS 8930

     

    Hey Brian, I am currently running photoshop 23.5.3 because the update was buggy, but what is perplexing me the most is I cannot open Bridge 13.0.1, so I've reverted  back to 12.0.3.  Have you heard of anyone else having this problem? 

  4. Hey Brian, I've started having a heck of time focusing with my Canon L 24-70 f/2.8 II.  Is it worth investing in FoCal to try to get things right???  I use a Canon 6d mark ii.  For kicks, I dug out my 12 year old nifty 50 and it was very sharp, so I'm pretty sure it's a lens issue.

    Thanks!

     

  5. I went ahead and ordered both!  🙊  I always learn so much no matter what I ask - I appreciate it!  I've often wondered why I didnt go Nikon right out of the gate (as of now I've invested too much $ in canon to switch, though at some point I know I'll have to go mirrorless) as I've heard it has a higher dynamic range.  Thoughts on canon vs nikon dynamic range?

  6. Hey Brian, I've got some stubborn prints on the front of one of my lenses and my daughters glasses wipes keep calling out to me.  I just dont know if they are safe to use on camera lenses?  I've only used the microfiber clothes in the past.

    Call Adobe or call Dell It's not liking your video card and/or video drivers. You may need a better Graphics Card, or un-install this version of PS CC and use an older version.

    Is there a place I can check for a graphics card update?  Thanks for all your help with this.  It is so frustrating!

  8. I clicked the check for updates and it said everythings up to date, so that part should be okay, right?  and NEVER do the optional MSFT updates, ever (I haven't -- just want to make sure I'm understanding correctly!) I'm a little scared after your story!  I'm not tech saavy enough to get it back if I get a blue screen of death 😬 You don't think it's a combo of all 3 fighting with each other (dell, microsoft and nvidia)?

    When I am in the settings and search for driver I see this:

    I also saw these for NVIDIA:

    Which should I uninstall or am I in the wrong place completely?  Thanks for explaining all of this to me and helping me!  Not a fun way to spend a saturday! lol
