Photoshop :: CS6 Freeze The Whole PC?
Dec 11, 2012
Month ago, I installed Photoshop cs6 extended on my windows 8 machine. My probelm is simply the following; everytime I run cs6 my whole computer get frozen, so I have to go and force the shoutdown, like cutting the power. Sometimes I get lucky and photoshop works, then for some reason it freezes again.
I reinstalled it many times, I even reinstalled windows 8. I started to feel that this frequent crashes are even curropting my windows 8 files, in a point that windows 8 sometimes cant get to load from the first time so I hae to repair it. Windows 8 by the way works great with me, until I install and use photoshop. Now I have got a load of work that I cannot do because I cannot run Photoshop properly.
These are some information about my PC:
OS: Windows 8
Application: Photoshop CS6 Extended
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-X58A-UD7 rev. 2.0
Video Card: Ati Radeon HD 5900

CS6 - After using one of the tools (select, crop, healing) 1st time, I further use or ability to change (from Patch to Red Eye Removal) can't be done. I have to close CS6 and reopen. I can save, and use filters, but not of the "left side" tools.

When working in CS2 about every 10 minutes or so i'll go into my menu bar and it's locked up. No menu's drop down. The toolbox and all the tools and all keyboard shortcuts work but that's it. When I click on file, edit, etc. nothing happens. I have to ctrl+s and close Photoshop. A real pain in the ass. Adobe was no help so I'm reaching out to all you good people. My system is clean is any viruses, spyware and ad ware. I have no other problems of any kind and I'm working with small files (avg. 2 megs) with plenty of RAM (512 MB)

I have a Photoshop CS2 serial code but I have downloaded Photoshop CS3 by mistake, I have tried to remove CS3 but when I go onto "Add or remove programs" and click "Remove" for Photoshop it just freezes.
I have tried to download Photoshop CS2 but it wont let me due to CS3 being installed.
how I can uninstall/get rid of Photoshop CS3?

we discovered a potential bug or issue in photoshop:under daily working conditions, 8h per day, during the last months/year i can observe the following behavior:suddenly, at any action, the photoshop interface (all palettes, windows, everything) freezes and doesnt react on any mouse or button command. can wait for minutes, nothing happens.
found workaround: switch to finder by clicking with mouse pointer into the finder desktop,and switch back to photoshop > interface is back and reacts again, everythings fine. condition of bug: very annoying but can live with it so far through my workaround frequenzy: several times a day (up to 20 or 30 times per day)
- reproduceable on mac osx 10.7 + 10.8 + 10.9
- reproduceable with photoshop cs6 and cc
- reproduceable on 3 different macs at 2 different working places so far
- mac pro 2006, mac pro 2012, imac late 2013 with each mac 48GB RAM or at least 32GB RAM (imac)
- reproduceable with 8 bit and 16 bit files, .psd and .psb

at start up and/or after a few minutes in photoshop CS3 it freezes, goes to white screen and hangs and becomes useless. it starts off lagging like if i turn layers on and off takes a moment to change, if i mask something marquee slowly moves or stops moving altogether, flip between different workspaces, open and close files large and small, any of those it freezes and dies having to force it to close. i have photoshop CS2 also installed and it runs fine. everything else CS3 works (illustrator, acrobat etc.)
things ive tried:
1. reinstalling: ver10 of disk does this as well as 10.1 update
2. delete preferences: from docs and settings as well as thru Photoshop
3. cache purge
4. yelling
5. change scratch disk: i have 3 internal drives
6. memory test
7. turn anti virus on and off
8. change page filing size

I've bought the Adobe Web Premium CS4 package a while back (when they just released CS5) and I'm having huge issues now. Basically all my Adobe applications freeze up directly or do so when using them so I'm unable to get any work done.
It used to be sporadically but recently it started happening more often up to the point that I can't start Photoshop, Dreamweaver or Illustrator without it freezing up the after the program is launched, when opening a document or working on an existing document. I've just shot a bunch of photo's at a fundraiser and want to edit the RAW images but both Photoshop and Bridge freeze up when I try to open the photo's.
I'm on a 2010 iMac running OSX 10.7.5 with a 3.2GHz Intel Core i3 and 12GB memory. I realize CS4 on OSX is 32bits but problems with insufficient RAM shouldn't be a problem, I usually have 4-6GB RAM unused.

I just updated my PS to 13.1 and after i restarted my system and continued to work with PS, it freezes plenty of times.
At first it was at random but then i could reproduce the error. When i try to scroll to the end of the styles list, PS will display the styles list not properly (see image below). When this happens i can't press anything else. I have to kill PS via the Task Manager.Never had a problem with PS before neither did i update something else in the meantime.
My System:
Intel Core i5 2500K
16 GB RAM
NVidia GeForce GTS 450Samsung SSD 830 Series
Windows 7 64Bit (Service Pack1)
I did a system restore now because i have to finish my work. PS 13.0.1 works fine, no issues. But not to update can't be the final solution...

I have a question about whether or not it's possible to temporarily "freeze" part of a Photoshop canvas so that you can work on the rest of the canvas without the frozen part being affected.
I know there are plenty of tricks that you can do with layers and layer masks, but if possible, I would prefer to have a completely separate function that works outside of all layer options.

PS auto updater pop-up. It asked me to update and install something about patch? I don't know what is was then I click "no" or "remind me later". After that everything stopped working. After I restart, everything works fine but PS.
I can open new file and save it. But when I try to open the "saved" one, the "open file" window came and gone so fast. Then the PS 's not responding. I have to close it through task manager.
I removed it and re-install it,

For two days when I try to sign in within Elements 10, it freezes up showing the Signing In dialog. The only way out is using the Task Manager. I'm running Vista. I can sign in using my browser so my ID and pswd are OK.

When I click on the straighten tool and then click on a horizontal line on my photo, as I attempt to draw the line across the photo it freezes after a fraction of an inch and rotates the photo before I've drawn the line along the horizontal feature I'm using and it's always wrong. I had this problem with my downloaded trial version of Elements 11 and it appears on the version I purchased in the store today.

I am retouching and area using the Healing Brush Tool. I first Alt-click on the area in the image that I want to use as the source.
I then paint over the area I am trying to change. The problem is that the source moves when I do that and I get the wrong replacements. How do I make the source static so it doesn't move when I paint?

So I have created some text in Photoshop on top of a dark grunge type background, using various blending options. Now I want to change the background of the image, but I want the text to retain its look. Is there some way to freeze the text layer and its blending options so that I can change the background while keeping the text's look the same?
Here is the Photoshop file:

And here is the font used, if you don't have it:

What is the equivalent of the liquify filter and freeze tool? if we use other software like paint shop pro which has no liquefy filter, so can we download it separately.

I recently reinstalled Revit architecture 2011 and now I am unable to save any work. When I save or save as, Revit simply freezes. If I hit esc it returns to a functioning status without saving. It is a Network License on single license server, if that makes any difference.

I am runing 3D studio max 2010 Design on Windows 8 and it does one strange thing all the time. It starts all right but then it freezes one part of the programe on the screen and there is nothing i can do to unfreeze it, unlease you restart the programm, as long as you use the program, it will get few parts freezing acrross the screen! in the screen shot belove you will see that the boxes marked with black colour are actually freezed pixels, i can move around the project and i can use it as it is ok and click all buttons, but its like there is an image infront of me that i can't get rid of!
