Photoshop :: CS3 Lags Or Stalls Frequently
Jul 24, 2008
Photoshop and Illustrator CS3 just stop working every five to ten minutes for periods of about 10 to 20 seconds. Photoshop palettes and windows all go blank if I click anywhere in the application space during these brownouts. Sometimes the entire system stops responding to the point all I can do is move the mouse around pointlessly.
After it does whatever it is doing the app suddenly snaps back to life and anything else I may have clicked in any application in the meantime instantly responds allsuddenlyatthesametime in a flurry of dialogs and actions. Often when Photoshop comes back the palettes have no titles and seem to have been corrupted and I have to restart the app.
It doesn't seem to matter what I'm doing though I'm not entirely sure about that. Seems that it happens most when I try to use the brush tool or apply changes to text, but that may just be because I use those tools more than others.

I downloaded CS4, extracted the files. WHen I go to the desktop icon I click open the folder and double click on setup. Nothing at all happens for many minutes. Then I get the Checking System Profile dialogue and it progresses along until about 90% finished and then just sits there and goes no further. No error message -

When I attempt to launch PSCS6 from Bridge, it hangs and I get a Run Time error... R6034. At that point all I can do is restart my computer. CS6 works fine as long as I don't try to get into it through Bridge. How to fix?

Background saving bug CS6
Problem:
1. Was Editing a rather large and complex file, 16bit, 1,6GB
2. Pressed ctr+s to save the progress
3. Immediately launched a 3rd party plugin, Niksoft Define 2 (I mean with two keyboard shortcuts in a row, within seconds of each other)
4. Plugin started
5. Background saving got stuck at 0% and went nowehere as the plugin launched.
6. No progress on the background saving after the plugin exited, and not able to save as a new file because PS said it was already saving the file. After 20 minutes still no progress. Taskmanager showed PS using 0% CPU and no disk i/o activity even though it stated it was saving.
Workaround:
1. Duplicated the entire psb to a new file inside photoshop.
2. Saved and it worked fine.
3. Had to terminate photoshop via the task manager as it wouldnt let me exit "before file saving was complete".
My workflow here was probably a bit quick and "inconsiderate", but I would still consider this behaviour a PS bug - I mean whats the use of background saving if it stalls when you are doing other tasks. (OS W7 x64+PS CS6 EXT)

I'm using a MBP (Late 2011, i7, discrete ATI Radeon 6570m) with 16 Gigs of RAM, a 256GB SSD Samsung 830 and a Wacom Intuos5 tablet. My secondary screen is a Dell U2711.Ps is already updated to 13.0.1
Everytime i use a brush tool (healing, cloning, etc.) the % of cpu usage goes up to 90-140, Temperature goes up to ~80 degrees, fans going to full power.
When i don't stop to use the brush, Ps is freezing for a few seconds (5-30).
Mostly, when i switch to another app (Firefox, etc.) and back to Ps, i can use Ps again.

I have CS6 installed on a Mac Pro desktop, 3.3 Ghz dual-core processor, 6 GB RAM, several physical drives configured as scratch disks, and no other applications running. I CAN'T be running out of RAM.
The files I'm cropping are .PSD files, no larger than 34 Mb in size. I can't even crop a web-res image - the progress bar grinds to a near halt half way through a simple crop. The machine has not locked up and PS does respond to "cancel" commands.
Graphics card is an nVidia GE Force 8800 GT, and the drivers are the latest from nVidia.I've restarted the machine and restarted PS. Delete Photoshop preference file and try it again?

Brush lags in Photoshop CS6 with GPU acceleration. Brush performs better with GPU Acceleration OFF, than with it on. Nvidia GTX 470
Latest nvidia drivers. Windows 7. 64bit
Edit: Installed newer Wacom drivers 6.3.2w3 which seems to have brought CS6 back to CS5s performance level after a reboot. Although brushes do still lag, especially the art brushes. Still not thrilled with performance yet.
Photoshops brushes are still faster with GPU accell off though.

Noticed that photoshop CS6 on Creative Cloud at least seems to lag when I try to move a layer around or a selection around with my mouse after I have used my tablet. So what Im trying to say is that I can move selections around with my mouse or with my tablet and they move fine but when I do anything with my tablet and the go back to my mouse thats where I get the lagging movement. If I then at that point try to move the selection with my tablet it doest lag around. As I try different things with my mouse after I have used my tablet nothing else seems to lag just moving the selection with my mouse. Any others having this issue or know what may be the cause?

So recently I bought a macbook pro retina 15' for mobility purposes and for the color quality. I've heard good things that come out of production on it to begin with but when I got my hands on photoshop cs6, nothing but brush lag ensues.
The issue often happens when I zoom in to do minor details or using a brush larger than 500 pixels. It's not productive to do a stroke and have the program take a while to recognize the stroke before it appears. I believe that being a Macbook Pro owner, I should have met the requirements. Also I do notice this problem occuring on other high-end non apple computers such as asus. I find it quite a joke and I do honestly believe it's on adobe's end. Even my old Hp pavillion runs photoshop cs5 just fine.

how I can get rid of the jitters and lags I am having with my Intuos 3 pen and tablet. The cursor is not moving smoothly and there is often a lag between moving the pen tool and the cursor moving in response (to produce a brushed line or an erased area). I have memory in CS3 set to 61% (of 3Gb ram in total). I am using a Matrox M9125 (512Mb memory) graphics card under Vista Ultimate 32Bit. I am not experiencing the same cursor lags and jitters in Corel Painter X.
I'm using the latest drivers for vga card and Wacom hardware.
I also have the Vista Pen and Tablet functions disabled.

I'm running Elements 12 on a Macbook Pro with 16GB RAM and Mavericks OS. I find that Organizer stalls and/or crashes when I browse photos. I'm shooting mostly in RAW. Is Elements and/or my Mac not robust enough to handle the file sizes involved?

I embed a few raw files as smart objects when preparing pages for wedding albums. When I edit those smart objects (resize, move, etc) both my systems have 3 or 4 second lags with each change.
The more powerful system is:
Core 2 Quad @ 2.4GHz
4GB ram
Windows 8

I'm using Photoshop CS5 (v.12, the 12.4 update does not apply to the ME version I have) on a mac book pro running a 2.3 Ghz Intel core i5 and 4GB memory. Everything worked fine until I recently upgraded to Mountain Lion.
From that moment on it became virtually impossible to use Photoshop as every operation, including choosing a menu item, takes forever. Illustrator and Fireworks work fine. I tried turning the openGL mode to basic but nothing seems to work.

We just bought new Macbook Pro laptops last Friday and also got Adobe Photoshop CC and Adobe Illustrator CC. Everything works pretty fine, except moving layer content eg. images or fonts around is a bit behind, slow/laggy, without any apparent reason.
This happens despite external screen connected or not. It also happens with or without power adapter connected. We have brand new Mac OS Mavericks and 16GB RAM so performance should not be a problem.
Some information (translated from Finnish system info):
Model name: MacBook Pro
Model: MacBookPro11,1
Processor: Intel Core i5
Processor speed: 2,4 GHz
Processor amount: 1
Core amount: 2
L2-memory per core: 256 kt
L3-memory: 3 Mt
RAM: 16 GB

I am using Win 7-32 bit version, with 4GB RAM, Auto CAD 2010.When I try to switch from " Model " to " Layout" , the command line shows" Regenerating", several times.
Sometimes AutoCad will ends in " No response" and be forced off.Additionally, when I put 5-6 drawings in one file and edit it, my Auto CAD appears to be stupid, the cross can not catch the objective point, then no response, then forced off.

I have Lightroom 5.3 (64 bit) installed on my desktop and laptop. My images and catalog are saved on an external hard-drive that connects to both laptop and desktop via eSata. I just started experiencing trouble with Lightroom on my desktop - when I open the program, it stalls on the startup screen (Lightroom 5, all the designers names, etc.) and won't go any further. I am not experiencing the same problem with the laptop, LR works just fine using exactly the same images and catalog. Both computers operate on Windows 7 Professional.

It will shutdown frequently or sometimes not at all while i'm using Lightroom 3.6. I have Windows 7, 64 bit system, 2.80 GHz, 8 GB Ram.
Lighroom Info indicates that real memory used by Lightroom is 1.7%, Virtual memory used is 116.5 MB.
Fan seems to be ok, my system does not indicate any over heating issues. I also use Photoshop and various other heavy programs with no issues or shutdowns.

I have a Dell Studio 540 desktop running Vista Home Premium. Burner is a PLDS DVD+-RW DH-16A6S ATA Device. I recently burnt 1hr35m mpg to double layered disc without any issue. I then used VSX2 to create DVD using slightly modified menu templates and 12 chapters. I felt the initial stall may have been a glitch so attempted again. The burn stopped once more at 99% complete as indicated in attached jpg.

I updated to LR 4.3, ACR 7.3, and CS6 11.0.3 yesterday even though I'm not on a Retina MBP.
Anyway, last night I was doing some edits. Opened LR catalog, edited a RAW in PS, saved the PSD which kicked back to LR. Did some final touch up using the Soften Skin adjustment tool and when I clicked on an area of the photo to make the brush stroke, LR would crash. It did it several times in a row and I finally got it to stop by clicking on the brush tool, clicking done, then reclicking the brush tool. I have LR automatically sending bug reports on crashes.

The camera files seem to be just fine, but my jpg files frequently get corrupt on export. They get these random horizontal lines through them, as well as big gray sections that begin part way through the file. If I re-export them, they usually come out all right. I would like to pin down the cause. I'll change the process priority from normal to realtime for now and see how it goes.

About every other time I open Lightroom or switch the catalog, Lightroom will hang. Usually some thumbnails from the catalog will be visible; if it was after starting Lightroom, the splashscreen remains visible.
I am using Lightroom 5.3 64bit on Windows 7. (The problem was already there with Lightroom 3.6, but not quite as frequently)
My main catalog has about 14.000 pictures, a second catalog about 10.000. The problem exists with both catalogs.
Sometimes, deleting all previews works, sometimes the catalog remains unopenable.
I have rebuild my catalog from scratch several times (losing all virtual copies and edit histories).
The least-data-loss method seems to be to rename the catalog directory, so Lightroom will create a new empty one. Then import all photos from the old renamed catalog.
What I have tried so far, to no avail:
- Upgrading from LR 3.6 to 5.3.
- New hardware (Mainboard/CPU/RAM/Power supply; CPU: AMD->Intel, Graphics: nVidia->Intel).
- Reinstalling Lightroom
- Deleting Preferences file
- Moving pictures from network drive to a local harddisk.
- Moving pictures and catalog to a different hard disk (physical, not just other partition).
- Stopping all unneeded services and processes, down to a bare minimum.
There is not a whole lot of other software running on my machine: Dropbox, iTunes background services, Spyder3 monitor calibration, MS Security Essentias, Epson Print driver Icon. No toolbars, desktop-apps or what have you.

I need to resize and crop an image to a certain size frequently. I took a look at pyrochild's ScriptLab, but it doesn't seem to support these features. Is there any way I can automate this in Paint.net? I know I could use other programs like IrfanView, but I really like Paint.Net and would like to use it for everything.

Just recently, upon closing PSP x5, a message window pops up, the title area usually references using the e-learning center or "Explore more ways to learn and love photography", but the window itself is empty except for the message "Do not display this message again" with a checkbox and a Close button. The Close button does not work, nor does the red X close window button. I have to go into Task Manager to finish closing the program.
I'm on a Windows 8 machine and this just started happening after months of use.
