@damaged2 - the quick answer is 64 bit allows for more than 4GB RAM in your computer. You may still have some 32 bit apps on your system, but 64 bit is here now (Windows 7-8, OS X Lion). Having the ability to switch between is useful for anyone who wants access to older 32 bit plugins or controls for their current app; in this case Photoshop.
Thank you! But when I open mine, instead of it being a grey background its all the applications on the side, then my desktop instead of grey, whats up with that??
@SordidClot - This is a common issue. Make sure you are selecting the Application icon, not the Folder. You won't see the option if you Get Info on the Photoshop folder. Look closely at the video, you will see I open the Photoshop Folder and inside is the Photoshop application icon.
@mehcat26 - without seeing your screen it's hard to make a recommendation. Can you take a screen shot and email it to me? Contact info is on my website ajwood DOT com.
@ajwood2001 I found the solution but Youtube won't let me link it (the link is to the macworld.com forums). The problem was that I had no plug-ins folder specified. Will message you privately the specific post.
I was wondering how to do this in Windows. I know you have the directions under the description for your video, but I'm not showing a 32-bit version in my x386 folder. Any suggestions?
@devonmale69 I just wanted to know how to do it in case that question ever comes up again so I won't have to go and find the answer on how to do it. I tried putting in my installation CD just to see which version was installed and it said that 32 bit was already installed, but I can't find it on my hard drive so that's why I asked how to do it in my case.
@soundofmetal WEll if you not see it you have not installed it BUT why do you want it on PC you have it all in 64bit and it runs faster like this any how, you see more memory in 64bit windows if you have it, only 3Mb in 32bit.
Very nice video. Needed that. I was just so steamed when I tried to use the Import Video function and got the only in 32 bit pop up. Why would Adobe do this anyway? Seems stupid to push out a 64 bit software and not upgrade all your functions to support it.
@LEGOGUY291 - try copying the iTunes app from the Applications folder to your Desktop. Double-click the icon and start the app from there. Should have no errors. If it works, delete the original in the Applications folder, and drag the Desktop icon back there.
@etanico - This is a common issue. Make sure you are selecting the Application icon, not the Folder. You won't see the option if you Get Info on the Photoshop folder. Look closely at the video, you will see I open the Photoshop Folder and inside is the Photoshop application icon.
Humbug! It looks like PS5 is the default editor. I tried to make it the Secondary editor, but LR wouldn't let me. I checked some forums...it was a known problem with Windows but can't find any Mac info. Exporting to the desktop, then dragging to PS5 brings up the image in the camera raw box. Clicking the "open image" box opens it in PS5 and allows the Variations. Only using it for the "Dragan effect" so no big deal. Thank you.
Thank you. I switched both PS5 and LR3 to 32 bit mode, but when I edit in PS5 by using the command E short cut, the image still opens in 64 and I can't use the Varitations option. If I use the Export tab and send to the desktop, then drag to PS, it does go in 32 and I can use the Variations. why can't I go straight to PS5 using Command E?
@charley99horse - I would goto the Preferences dialogue and remove Photoshop as an editor, then add it back. Having changed Photoshop from 64 to 32 bit after your Lightroom install, it could be it's still calling the 64 bit version due to the initial Preference setup.
@Pixelbox3 - CS5 on Windows installs both the 32 & 64 bit versions. You'll find Photoshop 32 bit under the x386 folder. Go to C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS5 You'll want to start PS in 32 bit mode first, then use File-->Open to get images. Any images you double-click to open will launch PS in 64 bit mode.
@heartiteff - CS5 on Windows installs both the 32 & 64 bit versions. You'll find Photoshop 32 bit under the x386 folder. Go to C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS5 You'll want to start PS in 32 bit mode first, then use File-->Open to get images. Any images you double-click to open will launch PS in 64 bit mode.
@heartiteff - without seeing your computer, I can only make suggestions. It could be the install only loaded the 64bit version, which means you need to run a reinstall/repair. Perhaps the x386 file system is hidden on your machine, you would edit the Folder permission in Windows Explorer to fix that. Keep in mind the folder is listed as "Program Files (x86)" on your hard drive.
@ajwood2001 Oh wait, the x368 folder is the same as Program Files (x86) folder? If yeah then I have that lol. But when I click on the Adobe folder I can't find Adobe Photoshop CS5. Could it be because I downloaded it from a link online?
@heartiteff - I don't believe the online download is different from the DVD copy. However, you did find the right folder location. Again, it could be the 32 bit version wasn't loaded at the time of your install.
