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.
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 have a PSD with the size of 344 MB. When I open it with Photoshop CS5, it take 1,38 GB from the RAM.When I do the same with Photoshop CS6, it take 5,26 GB from the RAM.Then CS6 works very slowly and I can forget to do anything with it. Â I have a notebook with this technical data: Â Intel Core i7 2Ghz8 GB Ram AMD Radeon HD 6850M 4GB1000 GB HDD...The settings for performance of both Photoshop are the same.
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?
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.
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. Â 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. Â 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.

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 Mac Book Pro 2010 with 8 GB Ram and all CS6 programs runs smoothly but photoshop os slow and also all text i type have gaged hard edges how cna i fix those problems ?
been working with this CS2 on my PC here at work for sometime but as time goes on it seems to working less and less like it use too..
Take for instance I use the color picker tool and the whole program freaks out as if its trying to allocate ram up. It flickers.. then I wait.. it flickers some more.. and still I wait.. it looks as if its done freaking out, but then flickers somemore and I wait.. total I spend up to 5 mins waiting for CS2 to stop freaking out sometimes, then out of the blue it will begin to work again, but only for a short period of time. Now here is the kicker I am running PS alone.. no other programs, I even end un-needed tasks from taskmanager.
So far I found out the fallow actions makes this occure.
Color Picker. Closeing Files. Applying a transform. Adding Text.
My system specs are
Windows XP Service Pack 2 with latest updates from windowsupdate.com P4 3.00GHz. 2 GB of Ram. 256MB ATI card. 75-G HD.
My CS2 PS is Version 9.0.2 Have all the latest update from Adobe Update Center.
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 running Photoshop CS4 on Vista with 4G RAM. Even when working on a relatively small picture (34M/69M), I get an error when trying to use Quick Select. The message says "could not complete your request because there is not enough memory". I am not running any other applications and I am allowing Photoshop to use 80% of my RAM. I have a 700G scratch disk. What gives?
In CS4, when I try to paint on an 8x10 300dpi portrait with a large, soft, low opacity brush...the appliction of the brush sometimes runs 2-5 seconds delayed behind where I am. I put down a few dabs and its OK... but then... when I put down 10 dabs in succession...then there is a few seconds delay. This same thing Does NOT happen in CS3. Im trying really hard to fix this by optimizing all I can. I have CS4 on Win XP SP3, and a 3 gig CPU, 4 Gigs of Ram, and an Adobe recommended Gforce 9600 512mb video Card set for open GL2. Ive set the preferences to 55% of memory for photoshop with 2 gigs of free memory, I set the history states to 20 and tried adjusting cache levels from 4 to 6, and I have a separate SATA scratch disk with 32 gigs free. AND, Ive upgraded to version 11.01 I dont get it. Why are my brushes taking so long in CS4 when they run perfectly in CS3?
I'm using Photoshop CS2 and recently installed it on my new Vista system. During normal use, I log in to Windows as a non-administrator, as recommended for security purposes.
Each time I launch Photoshop, it wants to check for updates, and asks for administrator privileges to do so. This is very annoying, first because I then have to enter my password for the admin account each time, and second because I don't need to check for updates every single time I run the program.
I can instruct Windows to run photoshop.exe as an administrator each time it runs, which fixes the annoying problem of it checking for updates, but it still means I have to enter my administrator password each time I want to run Photoshop. Surely there is a good solution to this problem? I'd be happy if I could just instruct Photoshop once and for all to "do not check for updates". I have this option set and it seems to work when I run it as an administrator but when I run it as a non-privileged user, it still insists on checking for updates.
On my old computer, which was a 2.8Gzh Pentium, older model toshiba, photoshop ran really slow, there wwere "lags" when i would click around in a big image. Not bad, but there.
My new computer screams when editing photos... it's a 3.4ghz with a gig of ram, 7200rpm drive etc.
Yet for some reason, batching files runs MUCh slower on the new machine. I've tried to figure out why but can't see anything. Same batch from the same action too. All I'm doing is this:
"Generate proofs" action"
open raw file
fit image to 450
create text later
write "proof"
change opacity to 45%
flatten
save
That's it. But ANY batch I do will run slow like this, not just this one. It's driving me crazy cuz just to batch proofs of about 40 images (about what I shoot for a given photo session) takes like 45min!
I buy pse 11 from Apple appstore, this software runs very slow(Cpu very higher) and no retina supported , I want know is there a patch for these problem, orelse I'll ask for refund.
On my current system and on my previous system smart sharpen runs PAINFULLY slow. It happened in CS3, CS5, and now with CC it often causes the Photoshop to stop responding and I have to force quit. Â I currently have: MacBook Pro Dual 2.5 GHz i7 8 GB 1333 DDR3 Ram dual SSDs running Raid 0 OS 10.8.4 Â The rest of Photoshop seems to run OK, it's just Smart Sharpen that bogs down I'm usually working on 16 bit files that have gotten to be around 800MB-1.2GB by the time I get to sharpening.
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. Â 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. Â 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.
However my machine is not using all cores and is rendering very slowly.I have a mac pro running os 10.9, 2 x 2.4 GHz 6-Core, 64GB RAM, and my graphics card is an NVidia Quadro 4000 with Cuda version 5.5.28. I've looked for updates, but everything seems to be current. Not sure what I should do?  Fast Draft:Available Texture Memory:1515.00 MBRay-tracing:GPU  OpenGL
After installing an update to Illustrator 17.1 from the Cloud a few days ago I've noticed there is a significant hit in the performance. It runs really slow! Even with simple documents with just a few layers. I opened more complex ones and it's super painful to work. I have to wait a few seconds when selecting or moving a layer. I really want to go back to CC 17.0, As for the system I have the newest Mac Pro form the previous generation (before the trash can model) - Intel Xeon 6-core 2x2.4 with 28 gb of memory ram. Running Mac OS X 10.7.5. Graphic card: ATI Radeon HD 5870.
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 just bought a new pc with windows 7 home premium 64-bit,but I run the program(3ds max design 2012 64-bit) and though it is installed correctly,it doesn't start, it freezes when its starting, any error messages appears.
Is it made to work only with windows 7 professional?(I mean the 7 editions? )can I upgrade and then the program will work fine?
