Yes, for some annoying reason.

Certainly does.

Although being a shortcut I guess I can move it out of start-up then i can load it only when needed
so maybe doing it like that does have some merit (the cmd window still makes it look like a last minute hack)
a checkbox in ccc would of been better

This holds true even if I pause the video in MPC Home Cinema or WMP. If I close the player then I lose audio in WinAmp or the VLC Player.

This is with the new betas.

Hopefully a fix is a trivial matter for the driver team. :hopeful:

This is a joke.
AMD / ATI has too many problems with supporting Adobe's software.
It is really a shame since now anyone who is after a new machine for those software won't even consider their cards.

Have you tried it?

Yeah, doesn't work. I've reported it for the last few drivers. Some of the people on the Photoshop support groups are saying you have to go back to 12.2 to get it to work. This is pretty poor as Liquify is one of the most important tools.

BTW, I am assuming that it's supposed to work on Photoshop 64 bit, right?

[Davros]

Ive gone back to 12.2 (says 12.3 in ccc. Amd cant even get that right)
They seem to be the best drivers of the 12 series (pressing the on switch on my 3rd monitor causes an immediate bsod with 12.8)

I have a little theory (no doubt total rubbish, but here it is)
remember amd had 2 code bases being developed in tandem then they decided this was a silly idea (If Amd would of hired a c.e.o of Gaming Goodness they would of known this) and went with just one, well i think they chose the wrong fork.

haha that's great Davros

You sure seem to be having a lot of issues. Isn't there some chance that something else is wrong with your system?

[Davros]

There is that chance of course, but I can and have reproduced my problems many times and narrowed it down to drivers as far as I can and all of my problems disappear with any driver 12.2 or earlier
Ive also done all the amd advice update dot.net vc redist, directx latest windows updates ect

I know you have nicely done Windows setup and configuration, but only for a test can you try and install fresh W7 on separate HDD and then install newest AMD drivers? I suspect most of issues you're experiencing on post 12.2 Cat. will be gone.
I had definitive issue associated with several updated Cat. driver which didn't show up on older version till I did fresh install. Everything else was working correctly in Windows so I was quite surprised by this.

Hi

Could you please let me know how to check if 3D acceleration is supported for liquify feature in Photoshop CS6

Is it liquify feature is disabled for a 3d image??
please help with your reply..

Thanks in Advance

Huh, using the utility from HIS I tried "Disable 2D clocks" and now all seems to be well. I can play mp3's and use The VLC Player.

I should have thought of this earlier but finally I did suspect that this might work.

Obviously this is just a workaround.

I hope the driver crew will wrangle this, the betas floating around offer no joy.

I spent an hour on the phone with my brother the other day because he was getting a BSOD trying to install 12.8 on a fresh install of 7x64. I had him get 12.6 and then 12.7 beta and both installed fine. Strange stuff and apparently not an isolated incident judging by Google.

He has a Gigabyte 6850 OC on an Asrock z68 Gen3 board with a i5 2500k. I also had him check his mobo BIOS version because Dave has mentioned on a few occasions that it is important to be up to date, but he already has the newest rev.

I use the 12.8 + Last CAP from september ( for cfx support in GW2 ), 2x 7970, and no problem there with it...

I know some have got strange problem with old motheboard ( mainly boards who have been released before the socket 1366 ).. but the z68 is not old.

Now, maybe something to do with MVPVirtu or the IGP driver... when he have try install the AMD one ? Does he have install the motherboard driver, utility before ? or the realtek one too ? With the switchable graphics, we have allready see some problem who appears....

[swaaye]

Yeah I think it could have something to do with the Intel IGP. I had him disable it but we didn't test 12.8 after that. I use 12.8 on my 6950 without trouble but my z68 board has the IGP disabled by default.

[Dave Baumann]

FYI 12.8 CAP 3 is available:

New Crossfire profile for Borderlands 2 and some compatibility improvements.

AMD on the ball for a big title release?

Is the compatibility with Photoshop improved?

[Svensk Viking]

AMD did a re-release of the 12.6 Legacy driver, now with Windows 8 support.

Just a few hours ago I stumbled upon a bench on "liquify" that said it was using OpenGL.. Linked at by an AMD apologist.
Is it really OpenGL? (not OpenCL). And what is Adobe doing, throwing token stuff at consumer dogs?

This is dangerous. If we have major players doing tech demo plug-ins that don't even always work this will damage the credibility of GPGPU.

Why doesn't this silly little thing autoupdate, instead of making me have to watch third-party sites for it who may or may not inform me it's available, then download and run a file (and reboot my freaking PC last time I did this!) It's 2012 for chrissakes. I don't get it. How many people ever download these things, or shit, even know that you CAN, or should?

I know it, but I just effing can't be bothered. It's so bad.
