slow issues and supossedly how to fix them (kapersky etc..). I have yet to be able to configure photoshop cs4 64bit to run smoothly..
here is my config...
Dell Precision Covet m6400
Vista 64
Quad-core qx9300
8gb ram
nvidia quadro fx 3700m 1gb
2x320gb 7.2k drives raid 0
cs4 64 should run like a dream on this machine... it doesn't..
What problems i get.
--------------------
General refresh issues, lag, panels done't minimise maximise smoothly, can't drag layers smoothly from one document tab to another. When i try and close the document tabs they take ages to close. When i open nvidia control panel in tandem to having photoshop open to see whats going on the animated logo jitters and does not rotate smoothly when i move my mouse over it...
What i have done to try and solve the issues.
-----------------------------------------------
Uninstalled and re installed numerous times.
Uninstalled and re installed Dell's nvidia driver and other drivers from laptopvideo2go.
When I open an image in Photoshop CC 64-bit on my Dell XPS 15 L501x laptop with nVidia 420M GPU selected as graphics processor, the image is blank. If I go to the performance preferences and untick "Use Graphics Processor" the images are shown correctly after closing and reopening image (the same issue occurs with Basic, Normal and Advanced drawing mode selected).
I assume that Photoshop will run slower not using the graphics processor, so would like to sort it so I can use it to improve performance. If I remember correctly, on the trial version of CS5.1 on the same laptop, I just disabled OpenGL and the images were displayed fine. Is there any way to just disable OpenGL in Photoshop CC 64-bit (or resolve this another way)?
I work as a graphic designer and illustrator. As such, most of what I do with Photoshop is drawing, using my Wacom tablet and the brush. So I purchased the cloud services a few days ago to be up to speed and have the newest updates and everything.But when I started working with CS6 64bit I noticed how after some minutes working on a file there's just an INCREDIBLE lag on the brush. (usually if I beforehand do several zooms in and out and skip through the history) But I don't mean a little lag, like if I use a special brush with special attributes and it's really huge. I use the standart round brush, not even that big in diameter, (5px) draw, and have to wait several seconds for a simple line to materialize.It's like working in slow motion.
I tried drawing without the tablet to make sure it's got nothing to do with the Wacom Plugin, but no. Even if I use the mouse, it's like this.
It doesn't matter if I restart the system and photoshop just before. Some files I open, and it's lagtime.So now I have to use PS CS6 32bit, because there it's possible to work without the lag. But for some reason the programm crashes from time to time.
These are my systems specifics:
Intel Xeon CPU E31225 3.10GHz 3.10 GHz 8 GB RAM 64 Bit System
It's a Q6700, 4GB, 2TB drives, Epson R2880 running Windows 7, 64-bit. CS4 is very peppy, runs great, opens, closes, edits, NO PROBLEM.
UNTIL you decide to print. Once you hit the print selection it takes a MINIMUM of 40 seconds for the CS4 print dialog to appear. If you then hit the "page setup" button, it'll be at LEAST another 30 seconds before that appears. Once they're up, you can navigate around and make changes, but once you hit the print button on the dialog it'll be another 10-15 seconds before it responds and if you specify "Print Preview" it'll be at least another 30 seconds before you get the preview. Once it hits the printer, it prints fine. There haven't been any software or hardware changes in weeks, except the weekly MS updates that get installed.
I've tried large images, and small images in case there was something CS4 was doing. This process is this slow when printing a 4x6 greeting card or a 12 x 18 photograph.
What's interesting is this is a new phenomenon... It worked FINE up until sometime last week. Then suddenly, slow....... Concurrently, the print dialog STOPPED DISPLAYING INK LEVELS. The status monitor still displays them, but the printer dialog no longer does.
I've unloaded the printer and cleaned off every file I could find that appeared to be associated with an Epson print driver. Went to Epson and got the latest, Windows 7, 64-bit set of drivers and status monitor and installed that. No difference. Also tried a new USB cable AND switched it to the other USB port on the printer and on the PC. Nothing's made any difference......
If necessary, I can have her re-install CS4, but is there anything that should be done before we start clobbering major applications, or ever worse, the operating system?
I've just been testing out the new X3 Video Studio and I was wondering if I have missed some settings somwhere.
It's running horribly slow, I was kind of expecting it to be lighting fast on my machine, which is a 8 CORE processor with 12GB ram on Windows7 Ultimate.
Is it me, or have other people experienced this slowness on their systems as well?
I installed X4 on a new pc with the following hw: Gigabyte MB with I5 2400 with 8Gb ram and Gforce 430GT video adatpter + 1Gb ram on it, 160GB sata system disk + 1TB data disk. Win7 64bit is runing in English. The problem is as follow: After the program is up I put 2 sample shots and then push the transition bottom. It take a long time till I get the my favorite to show up, then when try to select let say the F/X sub list again take a long time till it show up. In XP environment it work without delay. I tried it also on a 32bit win 7 with same results. So I assume that it is something related to win 7.
Just installed CS6 on my new workstation and Photoshop; it freezes upon opening.Every other program I have installed has worked flawlessly, including the rest of the CS6 Suite and Lightroom 5.Both Windows and the Adobe Suite have all available updates already installed.Computer is a new HP Z420 Xeon Workstation, Windows 7 Pro 64bit, 16GB Ram.
In Photoshop CS6 (64bit), when using the brush tool (with a brush with pressure sensitivity activated), I quite often get a line drawn at the max width selected, as if there was no pressure sensitivity. Everything goes back to normal after I start drawing another line, and happens again after a few lines. It's quite random.
I don't have this problem in any other software (Illustrator CS6 64bit, Painter XII, Sketchbook Pro, Zbrush, ...). I have already checked and I've found some other users on other forums with the same problem.
One example, with a picture of the problem: [URL] Another one, exact same problem: [URL] Some of those users seem to have solved their problem by installing an old driver (6.1.5r3), but they had that problem with Intuos TABLETS in the first place, not a Cintiq 24HD... I have tried that, but unfortunately the driver is not compatible with the Cintiq 24HD.
To test this out: I've been able to reproduce the problem 90% of the times I've tried. if I keep the pen at 1 inch from the display so that it's still recognized by the screen but it's not drawing, then wiggle it a bit, and then I slowly move to the screen and tap it (as if I was starting a line with very low pressure), the problem appears and it makes a large dot, as if there was no pressure sensitivity. As I said the test doesn't work every time, but almost.
This is an image of what happens when I try and make dots in Photoshop. These are done trying to push the pen with the same (low) pressure. The big ones are from when the issue appears: [URL]
I have tried the pressure test in the Wacom utility software and it seems to work fine, it never jump to full even when I try the method I've just described. In the diagnostic page of the Wacom utility software the pressure is always correct, even when in Photoshop there's the brush sensitivity issue.
note: I've already tried to completely re-install my computer + the Adobe software + the lastest wacom driver for my Cintiq 24HD, and the problem is still the same.
Both are referencing cooltype.dll. I ran Font Doctor on all system and non-system fonts and found no errors. Booted without Extensis Suitcase loading. Nothing works. All 32 bit programs work fine.
Problems with 3D objects. PS freezes every time I create a 3D object and try to come out of 3D mode or save the file.
Updating driver for ATI Mobility Radeon HD560V display adapter.AMD website auto-suggested and installed HD 4650 (?) driver.That made PS work a bit better, but other stuff started freezing (Chrome, Bridge)Went to Dell site and reinstalled HD 560V. Had to uninstall and reinstall Catalyst Control Centre.

I've got two Dell 2408WFP 24" displays due to arrive Monday and I was wondering if any of you owners out there have any suggestions for me. I understand I'll have to calibrate these puppies and definitely bring down the brightness.
Do you have any other comments or suggestions for a new owner and it's use with Photoshop?
Recently upgraded from Vista to Windows 7 and upon reinstalling my Dell AIO printer, it cannot find already installed Photoshop 7 software. No problem with Vista.
I have a Dell 1907 FP Flat Panel Monitor. The controls include a 'Brightness' adjustment. I am trying to set the monitor so that I have a luminance of between 100 and 120 cd/m2. I am using a Spyder 3 Pro display calibration device to set the luminance but the device does not measure luminance. Can anyone tell me what Brightness level my monitor should be set at to achieve a luminance of 100-120 cd/m2?
I recently changed pc and monitor causing a damn problem with those color spaces! My monitor is a Dell u2412m and by default it's setted on:
Now when I open a RAW file with ACR and choose sRGB as color space the result is this:As you can see, most of the photo presents black shadows. If I save the file and I open it with windows image it's perfect. Indeed, if I choose ProPhoto for monitor and for the photo the visualization is fine:
I must change the color space in sRGB or even RGB before save the final image so I really would like to se a real preview of it in photoshop instead of saving it first. So the problem occurs when I save to RGB (less artifacts) and sRGB (lots of artifacts!). I can't understand this because I'm using the same color space as default for my monitor.
The pc configuration is:Intel i7 3770 Ati HD7870 driver Ati 12.11 beta RAM 16gb
i´m stuck with calibrating my Dell U2711(wide gamut) on Windows7, CS6 i used it with the integrated Adobe RGB preset and a standard profile. After calibration with i1displayPro (monitor in custom preset, slight changes to reach D65 whitepoint) i got a solid ICC2 profile which seems to fill the Adobe RGB space quite well (compared them in 3D).
The point where i can't get any further is the color rendering in PS and ACR, the colors are limited to a sRGB like saturation level. I´ve set my Creative Suite Color settings to aRGB, disabled Softproofing in PS.Here is what red (255,0,0) looks like: left: proofing OFF
The Samsungs splash screen gets to reading preferences but then says: cs6 has stopped running. I have deleted the prefs file to no avail. The samsung has a nvidia geforce 630.My uac has always been all the way down
I recently bought an Eizo CG301 and think it's awesome. I also have a Dell 2407 and run them both in a dual monitor setup.
I produce hi res digital fine art prints and I'm having issues with my colour setup......
This is the problem. Eizo (100cd,6500k,2.2gamma) is calibrated using an eye one display and saved in CAL mode....the dell(180cd ( the lowest it will go without lowering colour values), 6500k,2.2gamma) is calibrated using the same device and is using the profile via vista colour management.
Basically the Eizo shows 255,0,0 as a mid red/orange and the dell shows the same colour as a pure red - this is backed up with a printout from my epson 3800 where the reds are red and not orange. As I'm producing professional output it's essential for me to know which monitor is correct - do I trust the Eizo as it's hardware calibrated?
all other colours seem fine and my Eizo's deltaE values are between 0.2 - 1.3 (0.4 average)which is quite good....
can anyone confirm if 255,0,0 is a mid red/orange and not pure red.
I am using Windows 7 and recently installed Photoshop Elements 10. If the Dell 3000cn is set as my default printer, as soon as I click on print, I receive the mssage I need to install a printer.
I have verified that I have the latest Dell driver. If another printer is the default, I can print one image to the Dell printer. If I try to print a second image or change certain prnter settings, such as setting a custom size, PS Elements just show the waitng icon and never moves on so it has stoped working and I receive the following dialog box from Windows.
How to use the touchscreen on a desktop to draw with the brush tool in adobe photoshop elements? I can use the mouse to draw, but I cannot use the touchscreen. My touchscreen works well in Microsoft Paint so it doesn't seem to be a hardware problem.
I would like to try Photoshop for digital art. I downloaded the 30 day trial version of Adobe Illustrator CS 6 about three days ago and noticed immediately that touching my laptop’s touch screen will only allow me to pan using the Hand Tool in Photoshop. I have never had this problem in Adobe Illustrator, as using the touch screen acts just as if I were clicking the left mouse button and dragging the cursor around the screen. I have a Dell XPS 15 - L502X laptop with an integrated touch screen (the entire 15” screen is Multi-touch sensitive). It is running N-Trig DuoSense Digitizer with the latest drivers. Is there some simple setting change that can be done within Photoshop CS6 to make it recognize a touch screen input as a normal left click and thus allow me to draw on it using the pen, pencil, or paintbrush tool? I find it quite odd that I have no problems with this in Illustrator CS6. Could it be that this tablet-like touch screen input is restricted on the trial version?
Here is a link to a youtube video that I put up showing the problem. The first program shown in the video is Adobe Illustrator CS6 using the Paintbrush tool. The second program shown is Adobe Photosop CS6 using the pencil tool. I draw the line in Ps using the mouse pad and then attempt to draw (still using the pencil tool) on the touch screen yielding only scrolling with the hand tool.

Do i use back up, export or copy/move .i want to have just i merged set pf files with no duplicates and no omissions . then i will just run one version in organizer as its so much easier.
how to make my photshop application fast few days ago it was working good but now its performance is slow and my computers speed is also slow. How to fix it?
My laptop Dell Latitude E5420 is not recognising my camcorder. I tried with two of my mini DV camcorders, both of them are not recognised. When I connect through the IEEE1394 port on the laptop, it doesn't respond at all. In UL VS or any other video capture programs, the camcorder is not recognised, but only my laptop built in web camera is recognised.
Tried with changing IEEEE1394 host controller with Legacy in the Device Manager, but doesn't work.
every time I use my Dell Printer and go into scanning and select 'scan to' and select Gimp as the image program. Gimp freezes for eternity on Gimp Startup and I HAVE to 'end process'!!! end task DOES NOT work!! how do I fix this while scanning directly into Gimp?
I am running 2012 inventor ultimate and when I'm in assemblies quite often the screen goes blank and starts blinking or screen goes completely bright red. I have to force shut down and re-boot. I have discussed this with dell and they have replaced the video card, they have done patches updates etc. to no avail. My computer is an M6500 64 bit with a nividia graphics card running windows 7. very high end computer and very powerful. I am also using a 3D connexion mouse. I should also mention that the screen only blinks and crashes while undocked. While docked the only problem I have is locking up occasionally.
I currently have a copy of Photoshop CS4 running on my desk top (ordered this online so I don't have a disk). My desktop has the 32 bit version of Windows Vista. I also have a new laptop running the 64 bit version of Vista - with 4G of memory. I wanted to install CS4 on my laptop so I downloaded the trial version and then entered the serial number from my licensed copy to the version on my new laptop.
So, this is where the confustion lies, when I open my new laptop version it asks if I want to upgrade to the extended version - I don't - but it has a green check mark by my license number so it seems to be o.k. But, when I open the application it has 3D in the top bar. What is going on? I don't want the extended version but would like to take advantage of all the memory on my Vista 64bit system.
I don't see PhotoshopCS4 mentioned as certified for Win XP Pro 64bit ! Now seeing that 64bit gets you more than 4Gb RAM and thats a good thing for Photoshop, is anyone using any version of Photoshop on 64bit XP pro and is it ok ?
What version are you with ?
There is no tech support if you run it on 64bit. As 64bit Pro and Photoshop are two 'professional' things to have, I am at a loss to know why Adobe have ignored 64bit Pro users.
...and before someone suggests I get Vista 64, where Adobe have looked at 64bit function, its not an option as my serious 3D CAD program company warn me against it, its resource hungry and not good for such progs, this after testing. Also it would be the death for progs I use that are XP ok and not supported under Vista. I have an 8Gb PC and wish to continue with Pshop.
CS4 and my 64bit system. I mostly work with files in the 1-2MB range, not large by any means. I will process 2 or 3 photos, and close them.. no problem. But every 3rd or 4th photo, when I open the file, or try to resize/crop it, I get the dreaded "not responding" message and end up waiting 30 seconds to a minutes for PS to come back alive. Obviously this is extremely disruptive to my workflow.I have gone so far as to wipe my system clean, but still experience the same problem. It is a fairly consistent issue that always happens when I process multiple photos. Anyone else experiencing similar problems? Is there some obvious solution I am missing?My specs are as follows..Intel iCore 7 2.66 Mhz9GB DDR3ATI Radeon 4850 512MBWindows Vista Ultimate 64-bitPS CS4 Extended (with 11.1 update)
I have a problem with CS4 under XP 64 bit. The 'Enable OpenGL Drawing' checkbox in the preferences is grayed out. I have a Radeon 4580 card which should work with CS4.
I recently had Vista 64bit installed and there was no problem there... OpenGL worked just fine in CS4, just as it should.
But I can't get it working in XP64. I've installed the latest drivers but still nothing.
