    hey guys -
    anyone have luck enabling photoshop openGL acceleration for the z2?

    Nothing major, but I'm used to the way photoshop zooms with openGL acceleration. Intel's site clearly states that the HD3000 is openGL enabled.

    just make sure to install the latest drivers from intel.
    even the HD (2000) from previous generation will work and be accelerated, so i think its just a matter of your driver.
    then you need to go in the photoshop options and make sure the checkbox is selected for open gl acceleration.

    I think the problem with intel driver update is the missing extensions for using the PMD...
