Photoshop for Chemists?

[beelzelboss]

I'm looking for a program that is like the photoshop for chemistry.

Something that I can throw a few chemicals together with said amounts, and it would give me the results at any specific time? I would love to have something like that!!

trying to optimize your meth lab?

Well, potential gone begging is a horrible thing .

Would be cool to just punch in random amounts of elements and see what appears though. I could definitely get onboard with interactive chemistry.

Yup, if your gonna make meth, at least be effecient/cost effective (and as such environmentally friendly!) while your doing it.

[MEKer]

if you are trying to optimize your meth lab, please be really careful with the red phosphorus---don't mix it with random elements.

I know it exists, though I don't have names or addresses.

But just to make sure, you do know that Photoshop doesn't do any of the work for you, right?

I knew a guy who thought that designers just entered constraints into a program and got the design as a result after some computer work. I had to explain that computers are to design as microwaves are to cooking.

You're looking for a program that will solve chemical equations?

I have to agree that I don't see any relation to photoshop at all here.

Let's see how many compounds you can come up with using only C, H, and O.

can't you do that in Photoshop CS5? considering all the other things it can do

Wouldn't we all. You might want to clarify the question. Like other posters here, I fail to see what photoshop has to do with it.

There's an entire field of computational chemistry. It takes weeks of computer time to solve even the simplest of chemical interactions accurately (i.e. solvation, or protein-ligand interactions) and even then, it's usually not possible to do on a purely quantum level.

I remember doing some work on micelle formation around a carbon nanotube cross junction. Running a couple of simulations took 12 servers or so and about a weeks running time!

No, really guys...

Isn't there a shortcut for chemistry without all the science and math and stuff?

I'd also like it to be both Mac and PC.

Considering the OP's age I assumed it had something to do with trying to do homework without putting in any work or something more dubious. Dubious was more comical for a first response. I think he's looking for a simple program for modeling, nothing so detailed as reality requires.

I'd like a program in which I can draw a bridge, and it will spit out an engineering degree for me.
Like Photoshop, but for bridges.
Does that exist?

[bassic.science]

Ha ha! I have some programs/resources, but none that address what the OP wanted (that type of program doesn't exist to my knowledge). Besides, the snarky retorts are about 1000x better than any actual advice I might give.

It's called AutoCAD. there is a range, but bridges you'd need the Civil Engineering version. It's like regular AutoCAD, but has dirt in the box, because that's all Civil Engineering is, really....it's just dirt...

Oh Shee-

You mean I have been studying the wrong thing?

*Goes and changes to BA-Arts because Thunderscreech does not approve*

Today, I did chemistry for photoshoppers.

I used paint, brushes and all that.

[beelzelboss]

Sorry about the whole photoshop thing. It was the first program that I could think of that is really diverse... and yes it's not only to make my meth lab more efficient, but I'm really into chem and I fell that this would be a cool app to have.

*twitch* need morez methz *twitch*

I knew this computer had a use!!!
