Photoshop :: Slow Paint Brush Drawing In CS4 -
Aug 11, 2009
my brush drawing slowly. I am retouching an 8x10" 300dpi 8 bit image and using a soft brush at 15% opacity. It could take 5 or 10 seconds for the brush to finish drawing a 6 inch long soft line. There is a delay and I cant do anything else till it finishes. I Have Photoshop CS4 running on Windows XP on a 3 gig machine... with 4 gigs of RAM. I am using 55% memory for the allocation with 20 histroy states and 4 for the cache. I have 1.6 Gigs of available memory and 37 gigs free in a separate scratch disk. I have a Radeon 9800 dual card with 125 megs onboard memory. Do I need to reset preferences because of something funny? My system seerms to be fast enough...but I may need a new video card possibly...I dont have GL2 enabled because its grayed out. My version of CS3 works fine.

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.
Â
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.
Â
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.
Â
These are my systems specifics:
Intel Xeon CPU E31225
3.10GHz 3.10 GHz
8 GB RAM
64 Bit System

thought CS5 was bad, but brushing with CS6 all brush strokes are very, very slow. If I make a brush stoke I have literally have to put my hand on my chin and wait for the brush to catch up. I cannot work like this. what to do to speed up the brushes? Forget about adding anything else to Photoshop, work on speeding up exisiting functions.

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?

The psd processor spins not stop until I pick up the wacom mouse and click on an adjacent layer then back to the layer I was working on. Then the wacom pen work with the brush tool. This seems to happen when every time I pick up the pen and go back to the brush tool.

you can see what i mean in the following picture examples.
Â
Selecting a brush (any 1 pixel) brush

shows my selection . Drawing a straight line
Â
[URL]........
Â
Zooming in to the line (600%) you can see i can draw a marquee through half of it ...
Â
[URL].........
Â
No matter what 1 single pixel brush i use this will happen... no matter which computer i use cs6 on and different copies of the installation.  Anyway have any insight into this? frankly... it's somewhat limiting that i can't use the brush for stroking a shape if i need a pixel line and yet soft curves that a pencil won't get you.Â

I own a copy of Photoshop CS6.Switching from Photoshop CS to CS6, I have found this version to be extremely slow and I can not find a reason why it is like this. It is impossible for me to work on it.
Â
Problem: Slow performance, when using the brush tool there is a long delay - lag. The brush takes more than 8 seconds to catch up with my strokes.
Software:Adobe Photoshop CS6 x64OS:Windows 7 x64 SP1CPU:AMD Phenom II X4 965 BEGPU:Radeon 6790 OC @ 920MhzRAM:A-Data DDR3 1333Mhz CAS9 4GB (x2)SSD:A-Data 510 128GB SATA3HDD:Samsung SATA 1TBÂ
Tried:
- Memory usage allowed upgraded to 6GB, nothing changed.
- Default selected "Scratch Disk" is the main SSD which has over 58GB of free space, I've tried selecting the secondary HDD as well but nothing changes.
- Disabled the "Use Graphic Processor" square. nothing changed.
- Disabled the "Use open CL" square in advanced Graphic Processor Settings. Nothing changed.
- Changed power management settings in windows to "High Performance". nothing changed.
- Disabling tablet pc service doesn't work.
Â
Notes:
- Graphic drivers are the latest release on AMD website
- Windows is completely updated
- SSD Firmware is the latest available.
- The issue happens both with mouse and tablet.
- 1px brush and 5000px brush lag just alike in zoomed and not zoomed canvas.
- This happens on both x64 and x86 versions of the software.

I started to edit a picture with the brush. I refined the selection of my area. More I refined, more Lightroom was slow. I have only this brush modifier on this picture. I created dynamic snapshot & 1:1 snapshot during the import of this picture. My RAW is located on a network NAS et my catalog is on my SSD.
My PC config : SSD, Intel i7 Quad core, 8Gb RAM, Nvidia GTX 560 Ti.
My config is good for me to edit only one picture.

I've encountered a problem which is a first for me with Ai CS4, and that is I'm working on a cat illustration but I'm drawing hairs using a brush I've made that have anywhere from 4-5 strokes with multiple colors to mimic the look of hair. Everything was working fine until I used the hand tool to move the artboard around and the image pixelated a bit. Zooming in/out takes a bit of time as well, and then drawing any further strokes from a fresh boot now that I've saved my progress seem to be cached, then appear slowly one at a time afterwards.

I've got a Macbook Pro with 2.4ghz i5 cpu, 4gb ram, running osx 10.7.5. I'm wondering if I'm pushing the limits of the intel integrated graphics card. I have a Mac Pro at home with 8gb of ram although I learned recently that Ai CS4 only utilises 2gb of ram max. Regardless, my tower at home has a dedicated graphics card, ATI I believe.
Â
System monitor reads 346mb free, 920mb wired, 2.03 active, 750mb inactive, used 3.66gb.
Â
Trying to narrow it down to being operator error IE: too complex for Illustrator, or possibly the laptop hardware. I'd love to get back to work on this project of mine
Â
Consequently the artboard size is 11.49in x 14.92in

I'm using a tablet with gimp and I want to be able to set the brush size for the paint brush and also for the eraser, separately. What happens now is that I'll set the paintbrush size to 10px, paint for a little while, turn the pen over to erase and the eraser will now be at 10px. So I'll adjust the eraser size to something like 50px, erase, turn over, and now the paintbrush is at 50px. Grrrrrrr... I tried creating new brushes for both the paintbrush and the eraser, but there's no brush size option. This is my first time using gimp so I'm probably missing something.

The closer I got to the same look was to create a brush with the size of 1 pixel and 500% spacing, but it's still a bit slow to get even a small area looking like it's been sprayed. Plus, in the end my pattern looks too regular, not very natural. Here is part of the image whose look I'm trying to recreate (400% and 100%).

I have a drawing that was working fine yesterday but today every Civil 3D command takes several minutes (3 or more). I have two very small surfaces and two cross sections. I deleted 3 grading objects.I've run audit and recover, audit found some errors it fixed but recover didn't find any. I have shut down and rebooted. I just tested a similar drawing and it works fine.

I'm having major slowdown after an AutoCAD drawing import. I have never had this much slowdown in 3ds Max, even with very complex 3D scenes.
I've tried switching graphic renderers with no luck. I'm working from a textbook and cannot proceed without this step.
I've attached a screenshot.

We are working on a civil 3d project that was created by first bringing the data into Caice then exporting to microstation and then creating a .dwg. This file has been extremely slow and crashes all the time. Is there any way to fix the file? If we proecess our survey data in caice, what is the best way to bring the data over to civil 3d?

I want to use the paint brush for editing a photo I have, but the only color available is black. No matter where I've looked in PSP, there was no option to change the color of the paint brush. I've read online that you need to change the pallet to material pallet, then go to "Foreground & Stroke Properties" and set the color box to the color I want, but the only colors I get are different hues of black and gray.
Even in Paint it's just a matter of clicking the desired color to use different colors. Why isn't it so simple in PSP?

i have a test drawing attached with layout 1 and layout 2.
from model to layout 1 takes 2-3 seconds on my crappy computer, from model to layout 2 takes 8-10 seconds on the same crappy computer.
this sample i attached has a xref binded. which result is the same 3 and 8 seconds respectively.
you may think this is not a big deal. but layout 1 will take 10 seconds to to switch to if you have 5 xref while layout 2 will take a minute.
i did my research and haven't find the difference in variables between the two paperspace layouts.
tried all the variables made no difference:
psltscale, msltscale, celtscale, savefidelity, etc.
also set both viewoprts to undefined same thing.
the only difference is "1" is created from a blank autocad template by selecting "metric - no template", and "2" is imported from a civil 3d dwg after done a plan/profile production and that thing created that layout.
is there a tool to compare all variables between 2 layouts and find the differences? i am certain the problem lie within system variables.

Quick one on Dynamic blocks.... we are using Dynamic blocks more and more as a company, we are finding that when in a drawing which contains lots of dynamic blocks, then go into Dynamic Block Editor - amend the block - Then when closing the block Editor to get back into the drawing the drawing goes really slow untill we close it down and restart it.
Is there a setting we need to change OR is there something obvious that we are missing. i.e should we be minimizing the amount of dynamic blocks in our drawings or uncomplicate them?

I have had PSP X5 since shortly after it came out. I rarely use it because it is very confusing after working in v9 for many years. I have finally decide I just need to jump in with both feet & do this. I have 2 questions.
My first is why is X5 so slow in opening up. I have never had any version of PSP to be so slow opening. The second is I make new customized tool bars that work for me & save the workspace, however when I open it up the new tool bars are there but not in the position I saved the.

im currently using Autocad 2013 and it is running painfully slow when drawing lines and copying lines and objects... my experience on autocad is very minimal and how to speed things up a bit. also icons appear next to lines when i join 2 or more line, one for each join, but i suspect they may also be causing my drawing to lag.

I need to try and create a swish that looks like it was done with a pointed paintbrush. So it looks like the brush was pushed down at the start of the swish but towards the end the brush was lifted so the swish tapers out to a point.
