This is just a general non technical statements which have only one thought under the hood - Adobe is just too stubborn to acknowledge an issue and fix it. Instead they are trying to convince everyone that SSE4.2 support is absolutely needed, which is not true - this is just a matter of compiler options used when Photoshop binaries were build. ...

@JeffreyTranberry  With all respect, this is just a general statements. Can you be more specific? Also, why on Earth Premiere Pro 2021 and After Effects 2021 can run just fine on a CPU without SSE4.2, and Photoshop 2021 can't? Why requirement to have SSE4.2 is only stated on the page with system requirements in English and not there for any other languages?   While I could agree that replacing libraries could have some side effects (this is very unlikely, because this is exactly the same versions used in PS), Adobe definitely could rebuild binaries just by changing compiler options to not require SSE4.2. All that is needed is Adobe's willing to do so, which is clearly missing...   ... View more

What's the point to reply if you have no idea what you are talking about? Yes, CPU does not have SSE4.2 support. But library used by Photoshop (Intel Performance Primitives) actually have implementation which does not require SSE4.2 and would work - it just was not included in the Photoshop distribution. Thats why people get these error message. Here is description how this could be fixed by adding missing libraries: https://feedback.photoshop.com/conversations/photoshop/photoshop-error-at-loading-of-ippcv-library/5f8f06c2c17a06631eb72c7e?commentId=5f934590c17a060f8ebe929a ...

Actually, this is not true. While with Intel this indeed should be pretty old CPU like Core 2 Duo (2 core @ 1.0-1.5GHz), for AMD this could easily be Phenom II X6 1100T with 6 cores @ 3.3GHz which I would not call "old" (at least not by it's performance). ... View more

*pepelpz  That's not needed and that's not my goal. I just want Photoshop to become better, or at least not to become worse. @ProDesignTools  I guess there is some misunderstanding here. To me and I would say to most users it's not a problem to use PS 2020 even during couple of months from now on if Adobe would say that this will be fixed or at least will be looked into and concidered if this could be fixed. But all they were saying is "use previous version or upgrade CPU", which to me reads like "it is what it is - live with it, it will not change". That is the problem. ... View more

Really? Users have already got official response from Adobe which is "use previous version or upgrade CPU". Yes, sure - one will need to upgrade 6 core @ 3GHz AMD CPU just because Adobe wants some fancy extensions to CPU instruction set. As for using previous version - Adobe always stated that by paying subscription you are paying for constant development and addition of new features. What's the point to pay subscription then if users will have to use previous version? Also go ahead and explain why Premiere Pro 2021, After Effects 2021 and Media Encoder 2021 can run just fine on CPU without SSE4.2, but Photoshop 2021 can't? Why dropped support for Windows 7 was clearly stated weeks before Photoshop 2021 release, and raised requirements for CPU was not there at the release date (and is still stated only in the system requirements on the page in english, not present for other languages) and was added after tons of complaints from users? And now you are saying that fixing something that should not be broken on the first place is illegal? Come on, this is not how things should be going for paid product... ... View more

Jeffrey, if possible, please reconsider Adobe's decision about requiring SSE4.2 to run PS 2021 in the next updates. Used libraries (IPP and OpenCV) allows to run on CPUs without SSE4.2 just fine without any additional effort from developers and without affecting performance for those who do have SSE 4.2. How come AMD Phenom II X4 965 Black Edition (4 cores @ 3.4 GHZ) or AMD Phenom II X6 1075T (6 core @ 3.0 GHz) is not sufficient to run PS 2021, while Intel Core i3-2310M (2 core @ 2.1GHz) is considered enough? This does not seem logical at all... ... View more

If you got this error: "     Error at loading of ippCV library       Your application is dynamically linked with Intel(R) IPP libraries version 2020.0.1.     No DLL from the list below is found an the system search path:      ippcvm7.dll (the most suitable for your CPU)     Please provide a path to at least one of them. " Here is the fix. Despite what Adobe is saying officially, Photoshop 2021 does NOT require support of SSE4.2 to run. The real problem is that: - IPP libraries optimized for SSE3 are missing from distribution (they are available from Intel) - OpenCV library was build with SSE4.2 requirement To fix this download this pack of libs from any source below (it's the same): https://www113.zippyshare.com/v/cqtznzt2/file.html https://www.sendspace.com/file/vh0wjm Unpack archive and copy libs to Photoshop 2021 installation directory (overwrite opencv_world440.dll when requested). This fixes the problem an PS runs just fine. But disclaimer as usual - all this at your own risk. Please note that this is not a hack or something like this - this is official libraries from official sources. Intel IPP libraries was taken from Intel Parallels Studio XE 2020.1.0 and contains valid signature from Intel.

What do you mean by "enlarging"? Increasing resolution? No - I don't see the point to do this if you don't need to. Increasing file size? It depends.

stevek4, by the way you are definitely doing something wrong. You mentioned that you get same results from Lightroom 5, but Nikon D500 is not supported by Lightroom 5.7.1 (the latest LR5) and you can not import this NEFs at all. Here you can find JPEGs converted from your NEF by Photoshop CC 2014 (ACR 9.7) and Lightroom CC 2015.7 Zippyshare.com I don't see any difference between them. And by the way Noise Reduction is not applied at all (at default settings), but should be if you want to get smoother image. ... View more

I didn't mean to be rude. If I was - sorry. And almost noone here works for Adobe - it's a user to user forum. Your posted images is not helpful for number of reasons. Saving to JPEG using Photo Mechanic just uses JPEG embedded into NEF by camera and it IS processed by camera, including noise reduction. JPEG from PS was NOT derived directly from NEF, it was converted from NEF to TIFF, then to PSD and then to JPEG (according to metadata). Who knows what settings were applied along that process. To get some help you will need to provide NEF file, XMP from Camera RAW and XMP (or catalog, you can export this one image as catalog) from Lightroom. Lightroom uses same engine as Photoshop (Camera RAW) for convertion and I can bet results will be identical. ... View more

"As Shot" IS simple and logical. Kelvin temperature is used just for reference and is not really used during conversion. WB is just a set of multipliers for different color channels - R,G1,G2,B. This multipliers are taken from shot's metadata and is put there by camera. For "As Shot" they are used "as is" and not changed. That's all. They are the same for all converters. The problem is that there is no defined standard way to translate those multipliers to Kelvin Temperature. All converter vendors are using slightly different formulas to transform from multipliers to Kelvin Temp and from Kelvin Temp to multipliers. That's why they all show slightly different color temperature. The actual multipliers used for "As Shot" are identical! Trying to match color temperature between different converters by using color temperature in Kelvin is just a wrong approach. ... View more

Change camera defaults in LR.

Julie, I clearly understand that it's Adobe's decision, but I think that it would be better to release something like 4.0.1 as it was done for 3.4 when bugs were found and fixed in 3.4.1. Because otherwise Lightroom and CameraRaw versions will be out of sync again... ... View more
