Photoshop :: Ps4 Lag Fixed By Turning Aero Off
Jan 2, 2009
Just installed CS4 Master Suite and immediately experienced the kind of lag that is being described on this forum, and elsewhere.
Specs: EVGA 680i/E8400, 4Gb, ATI 4870 1Gb (8.12 driver - latest), Vista Ultimate 64-bit, OS/PS running off Velociraptor with 2nd Raptor for scratch file.
Turning OpenGL support in Preferences>Performance did nothing to solve the problem. This is even with Cache levels set to 8.
However, what did alleviate the issue was turning Aero *OFF* and reverting back to Windows Classic Theme.
- Right click on desktop
> personalize
> theme
> select "Windows Classic"
Changing themes from Vista->Classic *while* PS CS4 is open alleviates all lag.
Admittedly, I can't believe that Vista's Aero gets in the way *that* much - perhaps someone has found a way to tweak Aero settings.

My studio makes video games so we often work in 3ds Max 7 & photoshop simultaneously. 3ds Max doesn't work very well with Vista Aero enabled, so those of us with Vista run the Aero Basic scheme.
Photoshop CS3 & CS4 actually run way SLOWER in Aero Basic. You'll see this while zoomed in using the airbush. Even the cursor jumps across the screen without any tool being in use. If i change my cursor to 'standard' or 'precise' in the preferences the lag will go away.
There must be many others that have noticed this problem. Has it not been fixed because its not possible? No one figured out what causes it? Many users that want maximum performance out of their workstations will disable aero. I'm sure this is embarrassing for adobe because it effects very high end machines.
Running in full Aero Mode is VERY smooth but I cannot use that because i need Max running too.
I'm running on a Nvidia 9800GTX. Same problems on other earlier Nvidia cards too. No ATIs here.

The fixed width function did not work when I wanted to draw a fixed width rectangle. Is there a new way to do this in CS6?

I've got photshop 7 but haven't got a clue how to use it, and when I try I just get so frustrated.
As you can see from the image one of the spans is in shade and spoils the picture. It would cost me a small fortune to go back to France to re-take the photo, so would like to know if it could be fixed ?

I've run into the Photoshop CS5 bug whereby an action with save-as truncates the filename (and adds " copy").
For the original bug, see for example:

It might just be my coppy of Photoshop (7), but whenever I use the shape tool (round, rectangle etc) I always get a small fixed shape, and can't seem to draw the shape to the size I want. I can't do a free-transform after creating the shape, but I don't wanna do that as it alters the overall look.
Does anyone know what may be doing something wrong? Do I have to change a setting somewhere? Unlike the marquee tool, I m not able to select from a dropdown box for its constraints.

It seems there is a way to fix the sampling to a fixed position on the alt-click so that the cross does not move even though you are moving the brush.

I have 5 layers with white artwork and a black filled layer but make animation sees also the black background end up flashing on and off. Can one have a frame to stay under the animation and stay on at all times ?
Obviously if this was in Flash it would sit on a lower layer and exist for the entire duration of the animation, but I am hoping to avoid keep having to take artwork as png into p shop , create movie clip, etc etc then back to Photoshop to adjust artwork.

i'm trying to design a layout using slices and such for a website. i'm using the vector objects and layer styles inside Photoshop CS4.
Problem is that during resize, all rounded corners get distorted and do not maintain shape or radius, is there a way to prevent rounded corners from distorting during transform?
otherwise this seems way too tedious to be an effective method of creating a layout that may need adjustments later, since things will need to be recreated.
I'm used to working with parametric CAD (inventor/solidworks), so i'm like a fish out of water without geometric constraints or ability to re-spec existing objects without remaking them...takes me back to the days of autocad.

does anyone know if it's possible to export a desired (fixed) file size with a batch automation in Photoshop? For example:
I have 50 images (*.jpg) that have different file sizes (25k, 15k, 45k etc) now I would like to export a fixed file size to 10k for all images...
I have tried this in Photoshop and in Fireworks, but the Programs exported 10K or less and sometimes even greater than 10k
I would really be happy if someone knows a way to do this or if there are any stand-alone programs that can automate and export targeted file sizes.

I have some irregular shapes pure black on white background. I want to be able to make an outline with a fixed pixel size- quite small - less than 20 pixels around the inside edge as though I had taken a brush and carefully run it around the edge- it need to be more precise that what I can do by hand
I'm not suer yet whether the inside of the line should b hard or soft edge when it touches the colour, the outside edge can overlap the shape as it will be masked out- to leave a hard outside edge

I am using Photoshop Elements 10 on Win 7 PC. I am trying to print multiple copies of one image on a single 8.5x11 sheet of paper? The images are artwork for buttons (to be used in button-making machine) so the dimensions must be exact on the duplicated images. When I select Picture Package, the images are resized to fit the dimensions in the picture package. When I select Contact Sheet, the images are resized to fit the number of columns I selected. Neither is acceptable. How can I repeat the same image on a single piece of paper without having the system re-size the image? I know that I can manually create a new PSE file and manually insert the images into this file. This is what I have been doing as a work-around.

1) Additional Zoomrates, such as 1:1.41 - to view an image at 1/2 of the side length.The best would be configurable zoom rates. That should be really easy to do.
2) Zoom to a fixed MP setting. I want to view all my images at 6MP, 12 MP or any other. This would be useful to check the details visible at a certain printsize.
3) Global switch to disable De-Noise rendering. This would speed up handling of D800 files a lot. De-Noise seems to take up most of the performance.
4) Possibility to view original, embedded JPEG Data in JPEG. (i.e. as reference)
5) Auto Histogramm:This function should move the left (black) and right (white) point of the curve to clip black and white at a minimum.
6) Sort and filter images by width and / or height in pixels
7) Sort and filter images by megapixel value
8) Autostack files with same name, such as xxx.NEF + xxx.JPEG. This is useful in case images were not combined at import.
9) When a folder is synchronized missing JPEGs should be removed from RAW+JPEG auto stacks.I see no way to reset this property, although it does not seem to disturb LR that the JPEG is gone.
10) Possibility to do a no-copy export. The purpose: copy the original file to the same name (which of course does nothing) and start an external application (such as RAW converter) with it.

I would like to draw a rectangle of a certain size (150 s.f.) then stretch it from a corner but have it automatically adjust to maintain the size desired. So I would start with a 10 x 15 shape, then have ability to stretch to 12.5' x ? and as I stretch say the 10' width toward 12.5' the other end of rectangle (15) reduces to 12.

I'm have a tin volume surface with contours ranging between -0.240 and 0.000m.
I have a need to display this surface as followed:
-0.220 - 0.000m as -0.220.
-0.240 (-) -0.220 as it is.
I've tried using contour intervals but nothing seemed to happen.

I created a sketch on a 'fixed workplane' and extruded it. I would like to know if it is possible to move the workplane? I understand I can change the workplane if it is a 'plane by offset from plane'.
If moving a fixed workplane is possible, does the extruded features move along together?

I always rotate the block with bottom left point as fixed point. What can I do to make the block rotate around another point? such as centre point of the block?
