Photoshop :: CS6 Is Saving Slowly
Sep 29, 2013
I just purchased a new computer - an HP h8-1360t with an intel i7-3770 core, 10 gigs of RAM, NVIDIA GeForce GT 630 graphics card. I have a solid state hard drive as my start up and scratch disk with a separate hard drive for files.
Everything is running very quickly in photoshop with the exception of saving my files. I'm working on photographs (around 3000x5000 pixels). I use lightroom first, then open in photoshop, adding maybe 10-15 layers. When I go to save, it takes a minute or so. I know it's not long, but it's the slowest part of my workflow, and when editing many images it really adds to the overal time. Is there something I can do to make this process faster?

With the scenarios set up below, it seems that these files are taking unusually long to open and save (up to 20 minutes on scenario #1, up to 7 minutes on scenario #2). Is this typical for the filetype described?
SCENARIO #1
[Running 32 bit Windows XP on a 2.3GHz ThinkCentre M55p, 2GB RAM, Photoshop CS1. Have files ranging in size from 50MB to 325MB. Application installed on C: drive, primary scratch disk is on partitioned D: drive with 3.96GB free space, secondary scratch disk is on C: drive with 53.98GB free space. Largest file has about 12 layers, including 3 layers with rasterized PDFs and about 9 layers that have blocks of filled color with craquelure & inner shadow added.]
SCENARIO #2
[Running 32 bit Windows XP on a 2.3GHz ThinkPad T61p, 2GB RAM, Photoshop CS1. Have files ranging in size from 50MB to 325MB. Application installed on C: drive, primary scratch disk is on partitioned D: drive with 36.4GB free space, secondary scratch disk is on C: drive with 29.7GB free space. Largest file has about 12 layers, including 3 layers with rasterized PDFs and about 9 layers that have blocks of filled color with craquelure & inner shadow added.

I've been using CS for a short time, but when I open the file browser the program comes to a crawl. I'm currently using a laptop with a 700mhz processor and 512mb of ram. Are there any setup settings I should be using to get the thing to run faster, short of dumping the file browser?

Photoshop CS3 opens very slowly. Not the programm, i mean the files. When i make FILE -> NEW and make my setting and press OK it takes about 45 seconds to 1 minute to make the new file.
When the file is open, it works normal till i want to make the next file.

I have need having trouble with cs6 running slowly on my iMac. The computer runs fine with all other applications but will quickly run up several gigs of page outs when handling camera raw and photoshop files, it starts to creep along after a short while. Apple ran "stress tests" on the computer and everything is perfectly functional. I used to have no issues with cs5 and the computer should be able to handle the task easily. I have tried to reinstall photoshop.

So, I purchased CS6 when it was released and have been dealing with it's ridiculous speed ever since. It's gotten to the point where I can't tolerate it and can get no work done inside of it.
Basically, the main issue is the menu bar. I'll click on File or Image and have to wait at least 5 seconds for the menu to drop down. In the layer pallette I'll go to Alt Drag a layer and it'll freeze for a good 5-10 seconds, then reset and let me drag at will. Until I want to do another layer...then it does it all over again. Brushing occasionally becomes painfully slow and delayed. I used CS4 for years and never had these problems on the same computer. I work with extremely large files and am only having trouble with them after upgrading to CS6.
I'm running on Vista, yes I know. 6GB of Ram, so that should not be the issue. I do plan on purchasing a Mac in the next few months, but really need this problem sorted out Asap. I've googled endlessly and cannot find anything that works. I've changed drawing mode to Basic, disabled OpenGL, seemingly all of the obvious fixes, that haven't worked.

I want to use Vellum section dividers in my portfolio for the same reason everyone else likes them: they're translucence.
Saba's Blog: arts, culture, visual material, and good readin' -
The first 2 photos are Illustrator files. They have a solid white background and the black text. Then, I pasted the fading images. I made these images fade on Photoshop, by using the gradient tool, and setting the fade on top of a mask.
But this doesn't work. It does not fade to nothing....but rather fades to white. I need it to fade to nothing so its somewhat translucent on my vellum.
if print like this on vellum, the image won't fade into the transparent sheet vellum sheet, but would rather fade into a white square (which will print on the vellum and therefore not be translucent).
When I make the image fade on Photoshop, I want to see the checkered pattern underneath, not another layer of white.
Simply put, my image fades to white (the white layer beneath it). I want it to fade to nothing.....so i can paste it on something else, and can see through the faded, part to whatever is underneath.

I have used Photoshop elements for a long time. I continue to upgrade b ut each version seems to run slower then the one I'm upgrading from. Elements 10 is so bad that I have been using 8. I use Windows 7 Home Premium, I have 4 gig memory. I do not have problems with any other programs.

I'm looking for a way to make an object (in my case a kind of girder) slowly appear in animation. I mean that in first frame there is nothing visible and then frame by frame object grows untill it's visible completely. I thougt I could make it by cutting the girder into parts and then "fly" them one by one into position to create the final object. But is there any way to make it smooth, like gradient from nothing to whole?

I am finding that the thumbnails for images to be imported from CF and SD cards (Sandisk Ultra and Extreme both 30MB/s) are taking a long time to appear in the import panel in LR5 - and much slower than they did for LR4.
I also get a lot of blank thumbnails as I scroll up and down the panel - sometimes in the middle of the group and sometimes at the top or bottom. These then eventually appear if I hold still on a block of thumbnails.
The most images I have tried to import at once is 155, (Canon 5D III) and I would guess that any more than this would be very slow indeed.

I am using Lightroom 4.3 64 bit. My PRINT module is responding slowly or not at all. I had been using Lightroom 4 upgraded from Lightroom 3 with no issues for some time. I did upgrade to Windows 8 and noticed no issues with Lightroom. Recently however, my PRINT module started responding slowly to print settings and commands...with "Lightroom - PRINT is not responding". This issue started gradually and has increased over time. Making it almost impossible to print now.

I've been using gimp for awhile now and have had great success using itto retouch about a zillion scans of old family photographs. but other than then few things I need in order to do that (paintbrush, clone tool, rotate tool and crop) I am still largely ignorant of how to use gimp. (There's just so much functionality in there, and I'm sure that I don't even have any use for about 90% of it.)
Anyway, a relative just sent me an old old family photo that some nitwit,perhaps a generation or two ago, did some seriously violence to with a pair of scissors. To salvage this one and to make it look presentable I really need to be able to take the scan I have of it and crop it into a oval shape.(Yes, it is a portrait.)
So anyway, how do I do this? It isn't obviously. I already did manage to figure out how to make a selection of the exact size and shape (and location)of oval that I want, and I _did_ make a selection like that... at least I_thought_ that I did... but then when I did crop-to-selection I ended up with the picture cropped to a rectangular shape, where the rectangle in question is, quite apparently, the rectangle which only and exactly contained the oval that I had selected earlier.
I'm sort-of guessing that what I really want is gonna end up being another one of these things that ends up involving multiple layers... yes? I mean of course, what I _really_ want to end up with is an image that _is_ in fact a rectangle, but everything outside of my selected oval has to end up being painted total white (255).
This is a strictly B&W image, BTW... just like all really old family photographs everywhere. How to fade the edges of the oval slowly to white.

I have for 2 years fighting with any video longer than 30 mins. I recently started doing amature recordings of sporting events with 3 camera views or 3 layers of video, one audio, corss-fading and titles.
To date I have only atempted 2.
While playing the video in the edit mode or even the preview window, it plays fine for 5 seconds then starts to studder and progressively chuggs so bad its impossible to edit.
So I bought a NIVIDA 550GTX-Ti. Did not improve even the slightest.
So before I purchase X-5, the NIVDIA support people asked me if the graphics card is compatable with videostudio. I have duel core 2.4, with 2gg ram.

I've made some custom tool palettes that are on the network. I just have them pathed in the options, and set up as a group for users to access. Civil 3D is real sluggish when it comes to using these, and switching between the tabs, and trying to load them up. But Vanilla AutoCAD loads them and switches between tabs no problem. Is there a variable specific to C3D that needs to change to make it work more like it does in Vanilla AutoCAD?

I have been looking for a plugin that adds a tool to slowly slim lines as you draw. For example, as you draw a line, the line starts off thick, but as you draw the line it gets thinner.

I have a drawing the loads slowly and makes Civil3d become non responsive for i while.
It seems to stop with "finding interior borders" as the action in the lower left corner it has some datashortcuts and xrefs on to a network drive.
How to find what is the causing the slow down?
I will start by removing all the xrefs and datashortcuts and see if it works?
I think I have read about slow load times with network drives recently but can not find the post again.

I have both ACad 2002 and 2012, (both 32-bit) installed. I have plenty of RAM.
I'm converting a .dwg file to a .pdf and plotting to the desktop to either send out the pdf file or print to myself.
My problem is that it takes "what seems like forever" to plot a .pdf file to the desktop using 2012.
My situation is:
1. In 2002, using the Adobe pdf driver it takes 6.7 seconds from the time I press plot until the pdf file appears on my desktop.
2. In 2012, using the same 2000 formated file opened in 2012 it takes 37 seconds for the file to appear on my desktop.
3. In 2012, using a .pc3 driver, the same file, qsaved and formatted to 2012 takes 34 seconds to appear on the desktop.
Acrobat was installed on my computer prior to ACad 2012 but I've uninstalled/reinstalled Acrobat and I get the same result as above.
Is there anyway to speed Acrobat up? I defrag'd, cleaned the registry but I get the same results.

I have started editing photos using the Photo Fix Options in Instant Fix. I have then switched to Photo Editor to fine tune my edited picture. When I use save or save as, to save the edited picture both the edited and original appear in the files. If I start in in Photo Editor and save there is an option to uncheck that reads "Save in version set with Original" However I am more comfortable with beginning in Instant Fix and then switching to photo editor. For some reason when I go to save after switching from Instant fix to Photo editor the uncheck feature is no longer available. step by step instructions to save revised photo afterusing Instant Fix first then Photo Editor.

If I create a file in Photoshop without coming from Lightroom or duplicate a file in Photoshop that I opened from Lightroom, is there a way to save the new file from Photoshop to the desired directory on my local hard drive and simultaneously have it added to my Lightroom catalog? Or do I need to save the file then import the file into the catalog? I'm working with CS6.

I had worked on an image, came back to it the day after and my worked hadn't been saved, but I didn't remember closing the image without saving.
This is now happened a number of times on 3 machines. Whilst working in fullscreen mode and coming to the end of my work I pressed command+S. Pressing F twice to exit fullscreen mode, the progress bar at the bottom of the window didn't show and the red close button at the top left of the window didn't have a black dot in it (to signify something has changed which hasn't been saved).
When I press command+w to close to file, there is no prompt to save. The file just closes. On inspection of the modified date of the file, it appears that no save was executed at all. The date was from the previous day.
I have lost large amounts of work through this floor in the software. I have used PS since v1 so I am no novice, but this problem is really dangerous and needs sorting out as a matter of priority.

What will make PS save faster?
Two examples:
1, image file without any layers, I just had to use the patch tool on two corners to fix something.
2, image file with 25 layers
Both took the same amount to save; one as PSD, and one as LPEG. Is there a cure for saving documents faster? do I have to increase the GBs in the performance option box?
