Photoshop CS6 performance
I just bought Photoshop CS6 and the performance is SO SLOW that it is basically unusable for any professional production work. Everything seems to hang and feel clunky overall. I'm SO disappointed. What can I do?

Photoshop CS6 Performance in Video-Animation mode?
I've just started playing with the Motion workspace in Photoshop CS6 with the goal of doing some HDTV slideshows of still images with "Ken Burns" zooms & pans & maybe other animation. I bought a training video from Infinite Skills that seems pretty good, but when I load their example files into CS6 and try to scrub around on the timeline, it takes forever to do anything other than scrubbing to the right (and that is slow). CS6 plays through their example videos well enough for non-rendered video, and I can scrub slowly to the right with the image keeping up fairly well, but when I try to scrub left, jump to the right, or click the icon to move the scrub button to the start of the video, it takes 5 seconds to 10 seconds for anything to happen. I'm running CS6 64 bit in Windows 7. My processor is an i7 920 @ 2.67 GHz, 8 GB ram, system drive is a Kingston SSD. Windows' Performance Information gives a score of 7.0 of a possible 7.9. A Passmark PerformanceTest 8.0 run gives me numbers typical of my Asus PS6 motherboard and i7 processor.
I know PS wasn't built from scratch for this kind of work, but is a 5-10 second lag to be expected every time I scrub on the timeline?There is a site named Black Viper. The guy there knew how to configure an XP computer for different purposes, and then set it back easily for everyday use. I believe that he has updated to incorporate Vista and Win7. But, the whole purpose of the story is - knowing what system resources you need for rendering video - and what resources you can temporarily suspend, and then easily restart. Many, many resources can be suspended in Win7, which frees up resources for the important and resource-hungry activity that is video rendering. If you can get on over to Black Viper, it is a very useful starting point, because he designates the normal state of your computer - so that you can put it back there again. However, as a general rule, if your computer does not need to be active on a network, a lot of the networking services can be suspended. AV and anti-spyware - once disconnected from the network - can also be shut off (but do this only after you have done a comprehensive AV and spywware sweep). Software updaters can be turned off. In fact, if you know your way to the Services section of Windows (I cannot say what the equivalent for a Mac may be...) using trial and error, switch out services - say three at a time - and then see what effect. Obviously, put them back in if it turns out they are vital to the video-processing. But yes, nothing beats extremely fast hard drives, and even an overclocked chip can help, with more like a gamers GPU to boot. This, as you will understand,is more a dedicated video editing setup, and CS6/CC are meant for a more casual approach. If you own a Honda Civic, so to speak, it will not drive like a Porsche!
If you have a modicum of computer savvy, go to www.blackviper.com and scroll down to your OS - make a copy of the table of modifications (or print) and then proceed to lock-down resource-hogging services. They can have a significant effect on processing speed. -
Photoshop CS6 Performance Settings Recommendations?
I use Photoshop CS6 for Image editing.
I just purchased a new Imac 27 inch late 2012 Model with an i7 3.4Ghz Processor plus the following:
1TB Fusiion HDD
24Gb of System Ram
2GB Video Card.
This screenshot shows what I currenlty have as my setttings in the performance pane.
I'd like if possible to maximize the performace given my system spec.
Are these settings I have now optimum?
I have my scratch disc currently set to be my MacHDD
I do have a FW800 Aux1 which is not being used that has 900GB of free space.
Should I use it also?
Any suggestions on performace would be appreciatedFirst, without describing the kind of Photoshop work you do, no one is going to be able to do more than guess wildly at how to set up your system. There are some general guidelines, some of which C.P. has stated. Do you edit huge documents? Long editing sessions? Bunches of documents at once?
Photoshop does not use multiple scratch disks simultaneously as far as I can tell. It's more of a "this one ran out of space, let me fall back to the next entry in the list" kind of thing. So there's no real performance advantage to specifying two drives as far as I can see - just convenience if you have limited space.
When pushing up against limits, it's good to allow the OS to have full access to the system HDD (e.g., for its own swapping) while Photoshop has concurrent access to its own, separate scratch drive. This way the I/O activity of both doesn't interfere and cause thrashing (lots of seeking, greatly reduced throughput).
What's a "Fusiion HDD"? I ask because C.P.'s "don't use the system drive for scratch" advice, while right on point with a standard HDD, may not be as pertinent with a drive that has near-SSD performance via an SSD caching scheme. Since SSDs have near-zero latency (no seeking), and usually quite a lot more throughput capacity than HDDs, it's less important to keep the OS and Photoshop from interferining with one another.
With 24GB of RAM you're probably not having to do a terribly large amount of scratch file writes/reads anyway. Are you experiencing slowdowns?

Would upgrading from 32bit to 64bit make a big difference in photoshop CS6 performance?
I am working with CS6 on the windows XP 32 bit system with the max RAM of 4GB. I am continuously having RAM issues when saving and/or opening files. I have been told that changing to a 64 bit operating system will fix these issues. Does anyone have any advice or recommendations? And if I choose to go from XP to Windows 7, which version do I need Home, professional or premium?
If your computer isn't particularly old and apparently has 64 bit capability, I would definitely look into going with an all-new 64 bit OS.
There are those of us running Photoshop in Windows 7 x64 with great success.
And RAM is incredibly cheap right now. I'd suggest going up to 16 GB if you can, even if it means replacing all the RAM you currently have.
Something to keep in mind is that Windows 8 is going to be released this Fall, and it will be be priced at $39.95 for an upgrade (yes, even an upgrade to XP).
However, if you liked XP over its successors, you may dislike Windows 8 even more. I've already written a book on how to tweak and augment Windows 8 to be a work-oriented system because out of the box it's not anything like its predecessors - the desktop isn't where you start, and when you do find your way to it to run what Microsoft considers "legacy" Win32 code there's not even a Start button.
If you really want to start talking about pushing performance into the stratosphere, I can suggest some ways to use SSD that can help you do so, though that's still costly.

Photoshop CS6 performance on new Macbook Pro Retina Late 2013
Hi guys,
Just bought the new 13" Macbook Pro Retina Late 2013 with 8GB RAM and 256SSD.
Installed CS6 with all patches and retina update but performance is appaling. Im editing a Nikon D800 file which I know is heavy, but when zoomed in at 100% and using the healing brush it is unusable. There is so much lag on the brush it takes a second after i lift my pen for the stroke to be finishes.
Happening in Scaled & Best for Retina screen modes.
My 2005 Core 2 Duo laptop with 4GB of ram and windows 7 did this without hiccups, so I cant believe this brand new laptop cant do it.
Any ideas? Its really unusable now.
CheersHere is the email I got from Wacom.

Dick,
If you downloaded and installed the latest Mac OS X driver, it will not work with your Intuos2 tablet. If you OS X is 10.6+, here are driver directions to follow for a clean install and a link to the last driver:
Open your Applications folder and locate any Tablet or Wacom Tablet folders you have
Use the Utility in each of these folders and click ‘Remove’ under ‘Tablet Software’
Once the software is removed, restart the computer
After restarting, download and install the latest 6.20 driver from:http://cdn.wacom.com/U/drivers/mac/pro/WacomTablet_6.2.0w4.dmg
As always, make sure your tablet is connected directly to your computer.
Avoid using USB hubs, keyboard/monitor ports, or docking stations with the tablets, as they can cause inconsistent behavior.

NUMA and Photoshop CS6 Performance on Multiprocessor Machine
I've been doing a bit of experimenting with the various performance settings in my BIOS in my dual processor Precision T5500 Workstation running Windows 7 x64.
One of the settings is SMP / NUMA - Symmetric MultiProcessing vs. Non Uniform Memory Access.
Since I have two processors, the motherboard offers the choice of mapping the blocks of RAM to the processors in two different ways - the first being every other memory block to each processor, the second being each processor gets one big block and the operating system tries to assign threads to processors so that they more often access the RAM that's tied directly to that processor.
I have been running up to now with the more generic setting - SMP. But today I decided to try out the NUMA setting. Since the Windows x64 operating systems since XP x64 have been capable of intelligently allocating memory in the NUMA environment, there is some promise of performance improvement. But the question, in the chaotic world of multithreading in Windows, is how much?
Overall, having tested Photoshop today with this new setting, I've seen generally positive performance improvements from this setting, with about a 10% to 20% speed improvement in most Photoshop operations, and notably several operations showed larger jumps in performance.
For example, my run time for the Photoshop benchmark at http://clubofone.com/speedtest/ went down from a best of 12.8 seconds to 11.2 seconds.
Opening a large 8000 x 8000 pixel 1.7 GB test file went down from 21.6 to 19.4 seconds.
A fairly large improvement was seen in responsiveness in dragging very large, complex layers around. Dragging one of the layer groups in the 8000 x 8000 pixel test file went from 5 screen updates per second to about 8 (hard to count, but it got pretty smooth).
Painting with a 5000 pixel soft brush across the 8000 x 8000 pixel image went down from 6.4 seconds to 5.0 seconds.
I haven't really found anything that ends up running slower.
If you've got a modern multi-processor machine and are running Windows x64, and you have the option to set up Non-Uniform Memory Access, I recommend using this setting.

How can I increase amount of RAM as needed for Photoshop CS6?
I cannot save any of my work as I am informed I do not have enough Ram available. What are my options please?
JdfraserYou didn't say if your current system capability is 32- or 64-bit and how much RAM you have. If you have fewer than 4 GB RAM you should get a quick boost by increasing it to 4 GB. As others have written, you'll need 64-bit system to increase usable RAM to ore then 4G. If you need to work within 4GB you may find some tips in Jeff Tranberry's "How to tune Photoshop CS6 for peak performance"
http://blogs.adobe.com/crawlspace/2012/10/how-to-tune-photoshop-cs6-for-peak-performance.h tml
Scroll down to the section "Key steps to optimize Photoshop CS6 performance" then see if ideas discussed from "How do I know if my system could benefit from more RAM?" through "11. Reduce patterns and brush tips" might help with your configuration and workflow. -
Performance Issues with Photoshop CS6 64-Bit
Hello -
Issue at hand: over the course of the last few weeks, I have noticed significant issues with performance since the last update to PS CS6 via the Adobe Application Manager, ranging from unexpected shut downs to bringing my workstation to a crawl (literally, my cursor seems to crawl across my displays). I'm curious as to if anyone else is experiencing these issues, or if there is a solution I have not yet tried. Here is a list of actions that result in these performance issues - there are likely more that I have either not experienced due to my frustration, or have not documented as occuring multiple times:
Opening files - results in hanging process, takes 3-10 seconds to resolve
Pasting from clipboard - results in hanging process, takes 3-10 seconds to resolve
Saving files - takes 3-10 seconds to open the dialog, another 3-10 seconds to return to normal window (saving a compressed PNG)
Eyedropper tool - will either crash Photoshop to desktop, or take 5-15 seconds to load
Attempting to navigate any menu - will either crash Photoshop to desktop, or take 5-15 seconds to load
Attempts I've taken to resolve this matter, which have failed:
Uninstalled all fonts that I have added since the last update (this was a pain in the ***, thank you Windows explorer for being glitchy)
Uninstall application and reinstall application
Use 32-bit edition
Changing process priority to Above Normal
Confirm process affinity to all available CPU cores
Change configuration of Photoshop performance options

I have Photoshop CS6 Extended Students and Teachers Edition. when I go into the Filter/Oil paint and try to use Oil Paint a notice comes up "This feature requires graphics processor acceleration. Please Check Performance Preferences and verify that "Use Graphics Processor" is enabled. When I go into Performance Preferences I get a notice "No GPU available with Photoshop Standard. Is there any way I can add this feature to my Photoshop either by purchasing an addition or downloading something?
Does you display adapter have a supported GPU with at least 512MB of Vram? And do you have the latest device drivers install with Open GL support. Use CS6 menu Help>System Info... use its copy button and paste the information in here.

Photoshop CS6 drop in performance
Appearntly Photoshop CS6 is horrible with large files.
I don't really have the weakes gear, and I do extremely heavy designs, but even opening an avarage file (90MB PDF file) and trying to pan/zoom around is impossible. Not talking about selecting an object and move it around - takes decades to do so.
My gears is:
CPU - i7 3930K 3.2Ghz
MOBO - ASUS P9X79 Deluxe LGA2011
RAM - G.Skill 32GB DDR3 1600Mhz Ripjaws Z Edition Quad Channel CL10-10-10-30
GPU - PNY Quadro 4000 2GB GDDR5
SSD - OCZ Vertex 3 120GB
OS - Windows 7 Pro 64bit SP1
Asus BIOS is updated and all setting or OK.
All drivers are updated.
Windows is updated.
Temperture is good.
With CS5 everything was smooth.
As soon as I installed CS6 trial everything went to hell.
Help?Whatever causes it, it's not something that's systemic; on my Windows 7 x64 system I saw a small increase in responsiveness between Photoshop CS5 and CS6.
Have you updated Photoshop to 13.0.1? The trial installer is still 13.0.0. It seems to me I recall Adobe did some things to improve this issue with the update, and I know they've promised to do even more for the next release.
There have also been some workarounds proposed, including going into the Layers panel options dialog and disabling display of layer thumbnails. It might be interesting if you'd try that and see if it helps.
Also, make sure your Performance preferences have Cache Levels set to a number larger than 1. I think the default is 4.
Make sure to close and restart Photoshop after any settings change and before testing.

By the way, I use and love OCZ Vertex 3 drives (I have 4 of them in an array). OCZ makes good hardware. -
Photoshop CS6/CC performance with Quadro 1000M/2000M vs. Radeon HD 7970M/8970M
I am trying to find any benchmarks on how these two GPUs compare for Photoshop work. Does anybody have any pointers to information or even subjective thoughts?
I am led to believe from my research that a number of the filters in CS5 are using OpenCL. For OpenCL the Radeon 7970M is far superior to the Quadros. However, I am not able to find information on the overall performance of the Quadros vs. the Radeons for Photoshop.
The work with Photoshop will be for static images - creation of images rather than manipulation of source.
I am looking to get a Thinkpad W530, but it only comes with the Quadro GPUs. If I do get it, will I be getting a slow machine for Photoshop 2D work, assuming that the Quadro's are really targeted at 3D CAD work?I don think Photoshop will stress any GPU it supports. For Photoshop make sure Adobe tested the GPU with the version of Photoshop your using. http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/kb/tested-video-cards-photoshop-cs5.html
http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/kb/photoshop-cs6-gpu-faq.html
If your also going to use the machine for gaming get the fastest GPU that also works with Photoshop. I did not see Quadro 1000 listed Quadro 2000 was listed in CS6 . Radeons HD 7000 series listed in CS6 list of texted GPU.

Photoshop CS6 Slow Performance
Hi guys,
Wonder if you can help me with this one. I've noticed recently my copy of CS6 has become very slow and laggy.
Symptoms:
Unresponsive
Repeated messages about "Out of memory"
GUI unresponsive, everything goes grey
Temp Fix:
I've messed around with the memory settings to see if that helps, but it doesn't seem to do a great deal. I've had it set to 90% and 50% and get much of the same results.
Normally when the program hangs or becomes unresponsive, I have to close it via Task Manager
System:
Windows 7 Pro
2.4Ghz Quad Core CPU 64Bit
4GB RAM
Photoshop CS6 13.1.2 x64
As I write this my CPU usage is 5% and physical RAM is 66% - surely there is more than enough to keep Photoshop ticking over?
Any thoughts on how I can sort this out would be appreciated. It is becoming very annoying that I can't use the product properly and have to keep repeatedly restarting it.In case Chris wasn't clear enough, Photoshop doesn't act like that without something being wrong with your particular installation.
You say this happened recently... What's different from when it worked?
One additional piece of advice for something to try: Clear your preferences to defaults by pressing and holding Control - Shift - Alt immediately upon cold starting Photoshop. If you're quick enough to get the keys down - and you have to be very quick - Photoshop will prompt you to confirm the deletion of the current preferences. If it just comes up without prompting you weren't quick enough.

Photoshop CS6 drawing performance and MBP Retina 15 with Nvidia GT 650M
Hi, I've noticed that to get a significantly better drawing performace in Photoshop CS6 with a MacBook Pro 15" Retina Mid 2012 Nvidia GeForce GT 650M one has to start Photshop with a screen resolution set to "Best for Retina" then once Photoshop is running, to change the resolution to "Scaled" 1650x1080 or 1920x1200. Why ?
Are you aware of that isssue?
Any settings I should look at ?
Thanks for your helpThanks. I've noticesd another detail that might help:
After doing the steps I mentionned earlier, the HUD colorpicker, the smooth zoom and the "red" brush shape that shows how hard the brush is, are no longer working/displayed.
Maybe the rescaling stops some GPU enabled features of the interface, thus leaving more "power" to the painting tools? -
My Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop CS6 aren't opening...
Hello, I am having issues with my Illustrator and Photoshop CS6. Both software are encountering different issues. For Illustrator, the issue is that when the software is trying to start up, it crashes unexpectedly (it seems to get stuck on the "ColorHarmony.aip" then quits). Illustrator opens maybe 5% of the time when i sit there and try to open it, but its rare to get it to work.
For Photoshop, it crashes 50% of the time during start up (similar to Illustrator), but the main issue with Photoshop is that when it actually opens, everything becomes incredibly slow. The mouse glitches and it takes extremely long for anything to actually work, I can't even select tools because the mouse glitches so bad.
inDesign however is completely fine.
I own the Adobe Creative suite : Standard
My computer is a HP Envy laptop with windows 8.1. It has 16b of RAM, an i7 processor and has a nvidia geforce graphics card.
I have already un-installed and re-installed the software and even did a system restore and it didn't solve the issue.
Please help I need this for school.
Thanks,
-EricMoving this discussion to the Illustrator forum.
Eric you have not posted any installation errors thus I moved this discussion to the Illustrator forum. I would recommend you post any specific launch error or performance inconsistencies in the forum relevant to that software title.

Photoshop Cs6 is hanging when trying to work in 3D when it wasn't before
When I first started using 3D in Photoshop it was working rather smoothly and seemed to chug along fairly fast. Then one day when I was working in it as usual and tried to perform some random action it just started hanging with the spinning blue circle for about 2 or 3 minutes. It continued to do this ever since, sometimes hanging for up to 5 minutes before performing my command. Some actions cause it to hang longer than others, such as creating a new light and changing the diffuse color of a material, which is by far the worst in terms of the amount of time it will hang. I have searched the forums and google and tried all suggestions to any problem that seemed to have a similar nature. The only time that I had a partial success was after I had uninstalled Photoshop, then ran the adobe creative suite cleaner tool, then manually searched through the registry for every reference to adobe and Photoshop I could find and deleted them. I then reinstalled Photoshop and updated it. When I started using it in 3D after that it was running smooth as butter, no hangs or stalls on anything, including creating lights and changing diffuse colors. But my joy was not long lived, as after about 2 hours of use it started to do its usual behavior of hanging again.So I tried that approach again and it did not seem to work a second or third or fourth time. So out of desperation and all out of options, I decided to run process monitor from sysinternals to see if it showed me anything even though I knew that I probably would not understand what it were showing me. I noticed a lot of errors with the results of "name not found" for registry calls, "invalid parameter" for directory quarries, and "no such file" for file reads. But the one that seems to be happening the most whenever the program is hanging is it is trying to open a file from C:\program files\Adobe\photoshop x64\required\CgShaders, but that directory is nonexistent on my system. I was hoping that someone would be able to solve this for me as 3D in Photoshop is a big part of my workflow and I am all out of ideas. I'm going to include the process monitor log file and it will be in pml format which you will need process monitor to read, but it is a very small, portable, and free program which can be downloaded from http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896645. The Log file Can be downloaded from http://sdrv.ms/Xxcmuu (skydrive) or https://www.box.com/s/jzdmgmdmz7xe47smalv2 (box) .

Installed TWAIN devices: NONEThank you very much for your reply. And yes I have tried all of these suggestions that you have just made. And as for the GPU crash I did not notice that in there before but I also didn't look for it because every time I looked before it wasn't there, and looking at the date that was when that I was rolling back\uninstalling\reinstalling\trying modded drivers, etc., Which is probably the reason why the gpu sniper crashed.
One interesting thing that you said was whether there is the same failure in a new design as opposed to an existing one. The answer to that is yes and no. To elaborate, when the program was working as it is supposed to eve and creating new lights and positioning them did not cause any slowdown despite the file that I was working on, but after the problem starts occurring it is like a snowball rolling down a hill. Every time I open the file (the one I was working on when the problem started to happen) to continue work on it be sluggish response of Photoshop is still there and only gets worse. If I start over on a new file the program will run much more smoothly, but will still had a slight amount of sluggishness with less intensive task whereas the more intensive task such as working with lights is still moderately sluggish but not to the extent as it was working in the previous file. As you said in your post it seems the father all along I get in my document the more pronounced and time consuming the freezes become. But nonetheless wants the problem has occurred it does not go away I can only lesson that by starting from scratch, which is not very convenient.
If you look at the process monitor log file linked in my first post and search through it pretty quickly you will see photoshop doing this

It does this repeatedly over and over again, specifically when I tried to work with lights. The weird thing is that there is no directory in required called CgShaders. I see 1 CG.dll & 1 cgGL.dll in the Photoshop (64 bit) directory. To meet that just seems very strange and probably more than a coincidence and probably does not happen on everybody else's system.
This is the process monitor log file that I saved in csv format and edited the first three blocks so that it fit correctly. Open it up in wordpad and you'll see what I mean. This is what I was talking about right above.
