Photoshop :: Photoshop CS4 Lags Incredible On Vista...
Dec 1, 2008
i just installed Vista 64bit, downloaded all drivers, installed brand new Photoshop CS4 Trial.
When opening it i get message"Adobe Photoshop CS4 now includes graphic card acceleratio, please visit your graphic card manufacturer and download the latest drivers" or something like that.
Well i have newest drivers i think, becouse i just recently downloaded drivers so i can play games like Crysis. So i am sure i got the latest drivers.

So I'm always interested in what others use for gear as well. As a photographer myself comparing gear is quite common. I thought I'd ask what people are using for their photoshopping. I figure some use mouse, trackball, tablet etc.
I run a Sony Laptop and a Wacom Intuous 3 tablet. I run the tablet for the incredible speed and accuracy. I do have a large monitor on my second lappy in the office, but rarely use it. I find that screen size isn't that important to me, i just zoom in when I need to work on details.

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.

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.

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 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
HD7790 OC 1GB graphics board

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 finally gave in and applied the LT14 registry "fix" to correct the flashing icons, monster lags, etc...might of fixed those issues (not sure yet) but now when I tap the F8 key to toggle Ortho on/off it also toggles on the Grid (which I do not want). If I keep tapping the F8 key it cycles through turning Grid on/off and turning Ortho on/off.
F7 still works like it should, toggling the Grid on/off.

Im using Inventor 2014 SP1 on a HP Z620 with 2 CPU - 16GB Ram.
Graphic card is a AMD Firepro W7000 4GB.
When i am rotating a big assembly 500+ it doesnt lag that much, but when i have a sketch turned on at the same time, the graphic lags extremely when rotating.
I have tried all the recommended drivers and the newest drivers and nothing changes.
I tried different hardware settings in inventor (Performance, Compability, Quality) and there is no difference.
I also tried to change the graphic Card with a Nvidia GTX 660.
It rotates much better (smooth) in big Assy than my firepro but it is having the same issue when having a sketch turned on.

Whenever I place a copy or paste from the clipboard AutoCAD freezes for about 5 -8 seconds and is very annoying. Time is money people. I know it's not a RAM issue. I don't have the problem with 2011 when I go back to it. What gives Autodesk? When is the next service pack due? This only happens with teh copy command

i have cc 7.2.1, and every basic operation i do on the timeline , moving clips, trimiming, scrubing on the timeline everything lags, its not fluid. When i do a simple scrubring on the timeline, the CTI takes sometime to get to the position i selected to do the playback.
But the worst part is the trimming or moving clips, it takes ages before i get an image on the program monitor. If i move a clip into a middle of 2 clips it takes ages to see those two little privews images with timecode, to see where to put it. So is very hard to edit like this.
Another odd thing is when in redering mode i select to use sofware only i dont have drop frames, when i chose cuda i have drop frames!!
I´m editing h254 from a 5d and 7d on externa llaccie usb 3 , have the a macbookpro 16g i7, iris pro and nvidia 750m, and a external samsung, via DVI.

I am running Vista x64 Ultimate on a QX6850 system with 8GB of RAM. I also have 2x XFX8800GT graphics cards running in SLi with the latest Nvidia drivers (181.20). Dxdiag testing provides no errors.
The GPU support features in CS4 x64 (and x32) is greyed out with the text wording of no support in Photoshop standard. Based on some of the threads posted here, I tried enabling or disabling some settings in the Nvidia control panel, but the only one that seem to enable the GPU support is to deactivate SLi completely (which sort of defeats the purpose in 3D graphics).
Does CS4 support an SLi setup? If not, will there be any difference in performance with SLi disabled and using the CS4 GPU support vs the other way around?

Service Pack 1 for Vista is available. I just installed it. Other than it reset the native resolution on my main monitor, it went without a hitch.
Recently, it seems, that Vista has been lamb-basted (what does that actually mean) as a nasty OS. It is not, I have been using Vista Ultimate 32/64 without incident. SP1 is no larger than SP1 for XP (in ratio to installation size).
Any one who says that you should choose XP over Vista for a new computer installation is nuts.
Vista is a fine OS, having used it for the last 10 months I can confirm that is rock stable. I now use the 64 bit version exclusively, it has matured very quickly and is a great way to run a system.

Under Vista Ultimate I cannot get Photoshop CS3 Extended to run, it will open up and then just sit......Adobe Bridge CS3 2.0.0975 opens and works just fine. So does Lightroom 1.41.
I even tried opening PS from these programs, but just the same.
I then installed Corel Paint Shop Pro X2 and that works perfect too.
I have tried removing and reinstalling, repaired and updated but it makes no difference. It will install and also do the repair just fine.
Changing the compatible mode and appearance to Windows Classic (from Aero) makes no difference. I am the only user and administrator.
Has anyone with basically this type of system been able to get Photoshop CS3 Extended (after having these problems) up and running?

A few days ago I bought a new PC with Vista (MEDION® AKOYA® P36830
Authentieke Windows® Vista® Home Premium, AMD Phenom X4 9500 Quad Core (2,2 GHz),
NVIDIA® GeForce 9600GT, 4 GB DDR2 RAM, 500 GB Hard Disk).
Since I will use this PC for my graphical work I tried to install a trial version of Photoshop CS3.
But... I can't even install the program on the PC !
The setup starts but nothing happens anymore.
In the Task Manager I can see that the process is running but that is all.
I've tried to change the priority of the process to higher and lower with it wont install.
what more can I do to get PS CS3 working before I buy the complete package ?

I've installed Vista 64 Business on a AMD AM2+ platform with a Athlon Dual Core CPU (BE 5000). When installing CS3 Photoshop everything seems to be fine, no error messages during the install.
I try to start Photoshop...it won't open. The Photoshop gray screen comes up with the menu at top, but then it just sits there. Once I got the window with the serial number input, but after entering the number it stopped as well. The only way to close Photoshop is with the Task Manager.
I've tried different installations: Photoshop on a new Vista installation without having any other programs installed (no FW or AV), on a installation with different other applications running and so on. Everytime I get the same result: gray screen and stop!

I have been using this combination successfully for over a month when it changed. I tried to open CS4 normally and got the error message "Could not open a scratch file because the file is locked. Use the Properties command in the Windows explorer to unlock the file". This error message is then followed by : "could not initialize Photoshop because the file is locked. Use the Properties command in the Windows explorer to unlock the file".
So I can't open Photoshop -

I am using PhotoShop CS3 Extended along with MS Vista. for some reason when I open more then one image or file at a time, I recieve a message saying Photoshop has stopped working and then it closes out of Photoshop.
I did not have this issue when I used CS3 on XP.

I've just installed a fresh copy of Windows Vista Business last night. After installing Photoshop CS3 however, I noticed a very serious lag issue. I looked into the problem a bit on google and this forum but did not reach a solution.
In general, the issues are as follows:
1. Opening and closing even the smallest of files takes a ridiculous amount of time.
2. Moving the mouse cursor over the toolbar or menubar requires up to 3 seconds before a response is received.
3. Right click menu requires up to 3 seconds to appear
4. Application of any tools shows a noticeable delay of action.
The most common suggestion is the "Network Printer" solution, which was not helpful to everyone including me. I also tried to change the performance settings and the cache level according to the optimization guide on this site, that also did not solve the problem.
I tried to run the software in XP pro SP2 compatibility mode, did not make a difference in performance. Disabling all the graphic options for Vista such as Aero Experience also was useless.
I'm just wondering as to whether we ever did reach a solution to resolve the issue or is this problem still left hanging?
CS3 ran fine before my upgrade from XP Pro SP2, I do not believe my hardware specs have anything to do with the lag issue. Yet, I'll leave it below just in case you guys need it as reference...

I have been running Photoshop CS Version 8.0 under Vista for 5 months when all of a sudden I cannot finishing loading Photoshop. It hangs after displaying the message "Reading Text Global Resources...done". I uninstalled and re-installed Photoshop in another directory but it still hangs. Does anyone have a clue as to what could be the problem? Is it a Vista problem or is it an environmental problem? I have 4 gig of memory and 200 gig of free disk space. In a nutshell I cannot get Photoshop to finishing loading.

I just bought Photoshop CS2 (the Polish version) on the internet. I am trying to install it on my HP Pavilion dv7-1080ew laptop. I can't get past the end part of the installation process, though. When it gets to registering (the very last part of installing), it starts rolling back the changes. I turned off my AV, tried running it as administrator, in compatibility mode for XP... still doesn't work. Is anyone else having this problem?

I'm having a little trouble with CS2 droplets. They work fine on one of my PCs with windows XP but when I try to use them on a machine with Vista a message comes up 'Photoshop CS2 has stopped working' This also happens when I double click on the droplet.

I have downloaded the trial version of PhotoShop CS3 but when I try to install it unzips ok from the initial setup file, but then when I go into the created folder on the desktop and run the setup program in there a dialog box appears, nothing else happens, then it disappears after a few seconds. The process for it appears then disappears in Task Manager also.
