I am running WinXP on a PC with 2 @ 3.2GHz processors & 4 GB of RAM. The default printer is local, not networked. But the save speed is not fast! The Photoshop Performance details are:
Memory Usage
Available Ram: 1709 MB
Ideal Range: 940-1231
Let Photoshop use: 1675 MB ((98%)
I'm using Photoshop CS6 . I use the timeline to make my frames and adjust the delay number at the bottom of each thumbnail, i've tried (No Delay, 0.01, 0.1, 02) but once I save they slow down.
When I press play from the timeline it plays fast and smooth. When I click "Save For Web" and press play on the bottom right it plays the same (Although for some reason when the delay is set to No Delay or 0, it plays SUPER fast)
When I click "Preview..." on the bottom right and it opens up in IE it plays very slow even though its delay is set to 0 or the others i've listed above. When I save and open it plays just like when I click preview, slow and delayed. I've tried opening with IE, Firefox, and Chrome and same result.
I even tried saving the frames from my animation and using the Online Generator from [URL]......... and the image can play REALLY fast setting the delay all the way down, heck, I had to set it to around "277 delay" for it to play the way Photoshop saves it thats how slow Photoshop is saving my gifs.
So I know its not a case of the gif having too many frames, or the file being too big.. (Which I don't really see how thats relevant anyways since it should only decrease the image quality not the animation speed)
EDIT: I read somewhere that its because I dont have Quicktime, is this true? I don't want to DL Quicktime if not because I dont need it.
I have recently moved from PS CS5 to CS6 and have noticed what seems to be an increase in the amount of time it takes to save large files. At the moment I am working with a roughly 8GB .psb and to do a save takes about 20 minutes. I have had to disable the new autosave features, otherwise it just takes far too long.
CS5 managed to save larger files, more quickly and with less memory available to it. Looking at system resources while Photoshop is trying to save, it is not using its full allocation of RAM specified in performance preferences and there is still space free on the primary scratch disc. The processor is barely being used and disc activity is minimal (Photoshop might be writing at 4mb/s max, often not at all though according to Windows).
I am finding the new layer filtering system invaluable so would rather not go back to CS5. I can do to speed up the saving process?
I have a new Mac (2x2.4GHz 6-Core Intel Xeon, 12GB Ram, OS X 10.8.2) and the latest version of Photoshop (13.0.4) installed.Besides the general slower behaviour sometimes, opening and saving files with 80+ layers is unacceptably slow..This is like going back 10 years compared to CS5.5
AI6 is very slow on some saves. Nothing fancy with this file. No gradients, no clipping masks, no placed images, simply color line art. I run a Mac Pro with 16Gb ram and Tb raid drives . I've had this problem with a few other files and I think in CS5.
When I save any work I have completed to my desktop or to a server I get a response that my Illsutrator is not responding. Eventually it saves the document but it takes a very long time to do so.I have cleared my cache and mediabrowser.
I installed IV13 onto four of our workstations including the update 1.
Due to the size and complexity of our project we are using Vault to manage all of our parts and drawings.
We had issues with 2012 but managed to get around them. I was hoping 2013 would solve some of them but we are experiencing extremely slow performance with 2013. It takes at least 15 to 20 minutes to open and update drawings. Swopping between an assembly and IDW to do updates takes another 20 minutes to refresh and update.
This is happening on all four of the workstations.
I have come across a few forums with this same issue and I have tried setting up the options as described in them but have had no difference in performance.

I am using corel X6 64 on a Dell optiplex 9010 intel(R) Core(TM) i7-3770 @ 3.40GHz 3.40 GHz. 8.00GB of RAM. Its taking about 1-2 minutes to copy/cut/open a file/save a file or even publish to PDF. On the same machine Same circumstances but different User i have no problem. I have to use my user because its connected to my email and at this company i cant change that. I have researched many forums and its not color styles or object styles. It does it on a new file with only one object created. I got a new computer signed on to my user account and the problem persists.
how to make my photshop application fast few days ago it was working good but now its performance is slow and my computers speed is also slow. How to fix it?
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 am getting lots of problems with CS4, some of which have been covered in separate topics on this forum. In the main, it seems to me that there is a real problem with CS4 processing relatively small amounts of data. The difficulties I am experiencing are:
1. Text tool very slow. Just typing a few letters sees my CPU usage shoot to 50%. There is a lag of about a second between typing the letters and their appearance on the screen.
2. Pen tool very slow with significant lag when using the mouse and CPU again shoots to 50%, even for a short line. If I use the tablet (Trust) it sometimes works, but suffers the same lag as the mouse when it does. Most of the time, though, I just get a faint straight line between the start and end point. This morning I got the same straight line symptom on the mouse!
3. Screen redraw can be painfully slow and blocky, but this fault is really sporadic
4. There is no apparent difference whether I have GPU active or not. However, I have just had a strange message. When GPU was disabled I restarted CS4 and got the message that there was a problem with the display driver, and PS was therefore disabling GPU enhancements! After that, the pen worked fine, and the mouse too, but then the mouse started losing curves.
I experience none of these problems when I run CS.
My video card driver is up to date. The trust tablet driver is the latest, but I really do not think this is the issue, as the drawing problem also affects the mouse.
System spec - XP with SP3, AMD Athlon 64 X2 4800+, 2GB RAM, nVidia Geforce 7600GT, Program on Raptor 70GB, Scratch on separate 70GB Raptor
I run Intel core 2 Quad 2.4 o.c to 3.3, 8GB 1066DDR2 RAM, 512MG NVidia 8800GT, 150GB 10,000RPM WD HDD Windows Vista Ultimate x64. My worst inversion was this pice of crap photoshop CS4. I used to open up to 400 10.3MegaPixel photos with CS2. CS4 drags down just with 100. Won't let me open more than 200. Too bad, come on desingers. I challenge to run my PC against yours. I've tried to configure CS4 to work the way I need it but unfortunatelly I have to wait until "ADOBE" software engineers come up with a new version so I can spend more money on their so famously pirated software to fix the bugs they sold on the previous version. Close to imposible to work with two screens working with different resolution. Photoshop stops functioning everytime an image changes from the main monitor to a secondary monitor. The old friendly Photoshop CS2 allows me to bring anything accross either screen with a continous display of the image. I used to be a Photoshop fan unfortunatelly CS4 lowered my espectations down to about 5%. Might be looking forward to try the competition for a much lower price.
When I goto Layer Style>Bevel&Emboss or any other layer style, it takes a LONG time for the layer styles window to come up. Like a minute and a half. I'm just wondering how I can fix this? It never used to do it when I first installed photoshop.
I had my automatic save set up for every 10 minutes but files were not being saved regularly. I deleted files from the Temp folder thinking it was full and now there are no .sv$ saving at all. How can I make drawings save automatically every 10 minutes?
I have two systems. The first a windows 7 32 bit quad core with 8 gigs ram cs4 is installed on this sytem. Time to print a standard job on an epson 4800 (which includes hitting print, selecting options for the printer and then being able to close the file and open another) less than a minute.
Recently installed cs6 on new windows 7 x64 intel core i7 system with 12 gigs ram. I have used both cs4 and cs5 on this newer system. Both ran the same file in under a minute to print as outlined above. Once I installed cs6 however the print time ( as defined above) for the same file above has now gone to 22+ minutes. on cs6, 18+ minutes on cs5 and approx the same for cs4 (all versions of CS are 64 bit on this system)
If there isn't an update to cs6 soon, I presume I will have to de-activate cs6, cs5 and cs4 and then re-install cs4 and cs5 to take advantage of my faster system is that correct?
When ever i insert a gradient or a photo it comes up with a progress bar which takes ages to load and it used to load in 1 second but now it takes ages , i have looked every where but there was no results, I am currently editing a Wedding Movie in a different Program but i also need to make a menu for when the DVD is in the DVD Player but i went to Photoshop to edit a photo but this happened and i have reinstalled it but nothing has changed. I have tried the Edit then Performance solution but that did nothing.
Photoshop CC is loading slow. I dont have much loaded.I am running it with MagicPicker 3, it wont save the tool the way I left it. Digital Heavens tool panel (easy to run actions)AD_Artbox, that now wont run the tools - panel to run actions. It did before the update.
After upgrading to CC from Photoshop C6, my pen tool is moving in slow motion. How to get it to work in real-time again? My system is top-of-the-line MacBookPro with OS 10.9.
Recently was forced to switch back to Win 7 from OSX after many years. I have the lastest PS CC on the Win 7 machine with 8 gb of RAM installed and an i5 processor. I haven't used PS on Windows since CS5 maybe CS4.
Admittedly this is not the fastest or best equipped computer in the world but then I am only doing web design at 72 dpi. I do use allot of layers though but that is nothing new.
Whenever I click to zoom in or out the disc starts thrashing and there is a long delay resulting in nothing happening. I have to click to zoom a second or even third time before I can get it to work.
As an example I will use a file that has allot of layers but is 14.1 mb on disc it is 1.3 gb when open. On a Macbook Pro 2011 with 4 gb of RAM I have no issues with zooming with open GL on or off. The Win 7 machine, same file, has significant zooming issues.
I have only one disc in both machines. The Win 7 machine has Mcaffee anti-virus on it but no disc encription. The mac does not have anti-virus installed. I am quite willing to either increase the RAM in the Win 7 machine or get another HD to use as the scratch disc but I don't want to push my boss to make a purchase unless I am sure it will solve the issue and I am not convinced it will.
Would buying hardware solve the issue or would adjusting the preferences somehow solve it. My preferences for performance on both machines are the standard settings PS ships with.
I have problem with save for web in PS CS5 (12.0.1). It is extremely slow. For example selecting anything from menus takes couple of seconds. I deleted PS preferences files but that didn't work.
my copy of Photoshop CS6 sometimes won't launch and when it does manage to launch fully, it's really slow. I mean ridiculously slow. The only times when I can get it to run even remotely quick is if I shut down my computer, and then restart it and then start up Photoshop CS6 as the first program. Even then it slows down after a while. (And I only have a firefox browser open usually, never more than a couple of tabs at once, so it's not a bandwidth issue)
Here are my comp specs:
Samsung Processor: AMD A6-3420M APU with Radeon (Tm) HD graphics 1.50 ghz Installed Memory (RAM) - 4.00 (3.48 usable) 64 Bit operating System running on Windows 7 home premium, service pack 1
I also did just recently install the new update Adobe had for Photoshop, so that's up to date.
I've just applied the latest update, but am experiencing very slow image loading times between LR 4.1 and CS6 Extended edition. I am using an iMac 27 2.8Ghz with 8Gig of System Ram, over 300Gig of HDD free space.
Upon selecting edit-in CS6 with an image in LR 4.1, CS6 starts up with a long splash screen, loads, then I get a spinning grey circle, then CS6 loads on the desktop, then I get a colored spinning circle, before my image finally appears.
I have performance set to an external scratch disk witih 624G of free space, 5644 MB of memory usage at 74%, HS at 30 CL at 7 CTS at 1028K
I have CS5 still installed and it's load times are about twice as fast as CS 6
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 ?
i have seen quite a few threads but no solutions yet that work for this problem. my documents tend to have quite a few of layers, using very frequently shapes with layer effects. up to a certain amount of those the app is very responsive, and then once i hit a certain level it gets very slow. strange just moving a vector shape using the direct selection tool is just fine. the regular nudging of a group or a layer brings up the progress indicator dialog.
so far i have tried:
- turn off layer previews (did improve things a tiny bit, but still unusuable with larger layer count) - changed performance settings (cache level:2 or 4, and tile size 128k) (also no effect)
the only thing that seems to work is to break the file apart into seveal ones, which will have less layers, but that's not really a long-term workable solution for me, as i use layer comps and need a more global overview.
Brushes and eraser and as moving work slow. And when it's a lot of layers, even more slowly. Especially brushes, that i need.My computer not strong: win XP, Pentium 4 CPU 2.4GHz, 2Gb RAM, and weak ATI Radeon 9600 128mB (without OpenGL). But, users has same or better configuration, had same problem.I tried to change cache level, RAM level, or disk space, but it's no working. Now i set SATA HDD for photoshop space. No change.
Photoshop CS6 behaves slow, very slow. Even with no document open, right after launch it reacts with delay on any mouseclick, sometimes it takes more than 20 seconds before a menu pops open after clicking. Painting paintbrushes are impossible slow.Basically any action is dragged.Its impossible to work like this. With all previous versions of PS i never encountered this.Things i tried :
- turned off gpu acceleration (i read that gpu can cause performance issues, some ppl solved slowness by turning it off) - updated latest nvidia drivers - reinstalled photoshop - tried to inspect photoshop processes with Process Hacker, even when at 5% cpu it runs extremely slow
specs :
Windows 7 Nvidia GT545 1 terrabyte free scratch disk space (on C:) 8 gb ram CPU i7 2600
I'm not of PS 6 yet but PS 5 (12.0.4) has been working fine on my laptop for years. Just a few days ago the actions got REALLY slow. Actions that are, say, 10 steps used to be completed in a few seconds. Now, it takes a few seconds for each step. Another weird thing that has occured is when I make a new channel and choose a Pantone color. After picking the color, say yellow 106, the naming field will show 'Alpha 1' unhighlighted instead of 'PANTONE 106 C' highlighted. But when I click OK it says 'PANTONE 106 C' in the channels palette.
