Photoshop CS6 very very slow (Windows 7)

Hi, im desperate as ive run out of options i think. 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 ProcessHacker, 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

Has it always run slow, or did this start recently?
What anti-virus are you using? Have you tried disabling it to see it that make a difference?
Are you working over a network?

Photoshop cs6 running extremely slow on opening a file. have reset prefs and set type to none. have to force quit most of the time.

I'm experiencing the same trouble. Photoshop takes 5 minutes to open then runs fine.
I recently bought a new iMac AND updated to Adobe Master Collection CS6. My concern is that PhotoShop now takes 5 minutes to open. The Photoshop desktop pops up immediately, but the moment you click on a tool or try to open a file (no matter the size) results in the spinning wheel for five minutes before you can do anything. After that, Photoshop appears to work fine.
What I’ve done:
Ran Adobe updater
Reset Photoshop Preferences
Validated all fonts and removed any trouble fonts
Ran the font test
Set font preview size to none
Cleared the Photoshop type cache and system cache
Disabled Symantec Endpoint
Tried running with the GPU processor on/off and in basic
Tried opening Photoshop with optional third party plug-ins turned off (still took five minutes but this time I didn’t even get the Photoshop desktop view until AFTER the five minutes)
I’m wondering since I migrated the files form my old computer (and older versions of Master Collection) did something get corrupted.

FAQ: Will there be any issues running Photoshop CS6 on Windows 8?

Brand New Machine and Photoshop CS6 running very slow

I just installed Photoshop CS6 on my new Machine and it is running horrible. Moving around objects, turning effects on/off, zooming, and more all take for ever to render. I can not figure out why. I have updated video card drivers and more. Scratch Disk is set to a second disk and messed with all of the GPU settings. Only photoshop runs bad on this machine. I should not be having issues with the system. Below is the system info from Photoshop. Also this machine is running with two SSD drives which should make PS run even faster.

Tried Photoshop at all sorts of various settings including default. All with the D drive being used for the Scratch disk. Working on the similar size file described above. The file I am working on now is 4000 x 4800 pixels, CMYK, 8 bit depth. Photoshop is slow selecting layers with auto select, very slow when moving layers around the Canvas, and slow rendering the Canvas when zooming in and out. This document also has about 30 layers and is 80mg.
I only use the 64 bit version of Photoshop these days. Also all three monitors are set at 60 Hertz. Photoshop is closed and reopened upon all changes.
I use to be a Photoshop Certified Expert in CS3 so I am extremely familar with the product. I am just stumped.

Photoshop cs6 lags very badly

Hi there,
I've got Photoshop cs6 13.0.6. x64 and it has turned very slowly, perhaps after I installing Maverics, but now I've installed Yosemite version 10.10.1
The info of MacBook Pro:
- 2,4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
- 8 GB 1067 MHz DDR3
- NVIDIA GeForce 320M 256 MB
- Photoshop is using 79% of available Ram. Cache level 1, animated zoom disabled.
The Problem:
Photoshop doesn't react with my shortcut keys, like if I want to undo by typing cmd +z, nothing happens. I have to do it again, then it might work. Usually I have to point somewhere in the art board and then press cmd+z. The same thing with the other commands, like v, e, b etc. Then it's slowing a lot, even if I'm doing with a low resolution. Last time I was doing a pixel art in 50x50px sized art board and photoshop started lagging and showing "spinning color wheel". During that it was not responding to anything and It took approximately 2min. Then photoshop worked for a few minutes before it started spinning the same color wheel. Other programs do work fine during that. This same thing happens every time when I'm using photoshop.
Has anyone else the same problem? I've tried to look answers on forums but those weren't leading anywhere. I'm also using Illustrator cs6 and it's working really well, no lagging and recognises shortcut keys too. No problems with that.
Thank you in advance.

I purchased Photoshop cs6 and lightroom for windows but now I have a Mac

Does anyone have a 1 -800 number for Adobe? I purchased the teacher/student edition of Adobe photoshop cs6 extended and adobe Lightroom 4 but I didn't really even get to learn how to use them because my computer was old and crashed. Since then I purchased a Mac and I was wondering if I could get a copy of these without purchasing them again. They were very expensive. If anyone could help me it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!!!

How do I re-install Photoshop CS6 after doing a Windows 8.1 REFRESH? Lightroom and Topaz installed great but not Photoshop

I have my Photoshop CS6 Serial number and thought it would be easy to re-install software. Message says my serial number is VALID but not for this version of software.
Any help with re-installing Adobe Photoshop CS6 on same computer after doing a Windows 8.1 REFRESH would be appreciated!
Phillip Wattles - Bedford, TX

The best for this would be Contact Customer Care Chat or phone.
While we as volunteers handle technical questions, we can't make a serial number work.
I hope you have registered your software with Adobe, it should make this easier.

Photoshop CS6 EXTENDED Install Error [WINDOWS] *error report included*

Greetz,
I uninstalled Photoshop CS5.1 ME (Middle Eastern) version from my 64bit operating system (Windows 7 Home Premium) and went on to install CS6 EXTENDED after a fresh restart (I also deleted remaining CS5 folders in "Program Files' Adobe directory"). The setup went fine. But, when it finished, it gave an error message saying that Adobe Photoshop CS6 didn't install or didn't install correctly. From there, I copied the error report/log it gave out:
Exit Code: 6

Photoshop started fine and worked fine (only used it a bit) after the "failed" installation but, the Update option in the Help window was grayed out (trial version, just to let you know). Is that a limitation to the trial version? Or is it straight up an error?
My question is, what did the error report mean and what could be wrong with my currently installed version of PS? BTW, I didn't use Mini Bridge yet, although all of its files are present in the Program Files directory for Adobe.
Thanks in advance.

Thank you for the reply. I will try the steps listed in the document you linked me to. In case any of the procedures works, I will mark your post as "Correct".
Thank you, once again.

Photoshop CS6 Freezes on launch - Windows 7 64bit

Photoshop CS6 Freezes when I lauch.

Photoshop cs6 install administrator error - Windows 7 64-bit

I have attempted installation of Photoshop CS6 repeatedly following a fresh installation of Windows 7 64-bit. Initially running into the error stating Administrator Rights is required to run this upgrade image, I forced it to Run as Administrator.
I forced the installer to verify my Adobe ID at the "Sign In Required" page by selecting "Not your Adobe ID?), then entering my email address and password.
Following selection of both Adobe Photoshop CS6 (64Bit) and Adobe Photoshop CS6 (32Bit), and clicking Install, I receive the error:
Setup.exe - Application Error
The application was unable to start correctly (0xc000007b). Click OK to close the application
Once I click OK, the persistent Administrator error appears:
"Administrator privileges are required in install. Please log in as an administrator." I already am logged in as an administrator on this system.
Any solutions to these errors? I have successfully installed, and ran, Photoshop CS6 on this system (as recently as 3 days ago, before the need to perform the total system wipe, and Windows 7 reinstall)

that's a microsoft error message which can have a number of causes and solutions.
the less likely to work but easy to implement:

Installation fails Photoshop CS6 Public beta 64bit windows 7

I tried to install the windows version of Photoshop CS6 Public Beta, the 64bit version failed to install said that it failed to locate folder tokens. I uninstalled it and restart my computer. I tried to reinstall but I still get the same error.
What I have tried, was turn off all none windows services incase there were conflicts, and truned of my virus checker(norton contant guard). I've also tried to created another admin account incase there were some corrupt certificates or permissions. Nothing has worked for me.
I'm running on a upgrade version of Windows 7 Ultimate (originally on home premium) on a HP Pavilion Elite e9180f.

Thanks for your response. I only find one folder in the Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Installers folder. It is AdobeInDesign7xIconHandler64 and the file is mod-mul.key so probably doesn't apply.

ACR 8.1 in Photoshop CS6 is terribly slow

I just installed ACR 8.1 into Photoshop CS6 and it is terribly slow. I’m working on an 8-core Mac Pro with 10GB of RAM, but even if I have one single file open (Nikon D800 NEF), simple actions like zoom in or out or show/hide masks only occur after a two seconds (or more) lag. Scrolling through the image isn't smooth, it jumps up and down like crazy and spinning beachballs appear.
I tried to reinstall 7.4 but the installer gives an error message: U44M2P7 (even after removing ACR 8.1 from the Plug-ins/File format folder in the Library).
It is really impossible to work this way (I'm a professional photographer), so does anybody know a way to fix 8.1 or to reinstall 7.4?

Thanks Noel; I used Time Machine to set the various Adobe folders back to their state before the update, and 7.4 is up and running again.
But when I started working on the same file again, it was as slow as it was when I ran 8.1. I had created a fair amount of local adjustments, using both the brush and the graduated filter. With the brush I had selected a rather complex shape.
I discovered that when I removed these local adjustments one by one, ACR became snappier every time. So it seemed that the problem was not related to 8.1, but to both 7.4 and 8.1 becoming sluggish when a fair amount of local adjustments was applied.
I checked the XMP file of this photo and it had grown to 1.7 MB. I then opened another file whose XMP was 1.1 MB and in this case ACR behaved accordingly: sluggish, but less than with the previous photo.
I also tested ACR on my laptop, where I had not upgraded to 8.1, and there ACR behaved identically as on my desktop computer.
So apparently there is a soft, but severe limit to the number and complexity of the local adjustments you can make in ACR. I had made complex adjustments before; and I can't remember to have encountered such behaviour before.
But from version 7 on you could use a lot more sliders than ever before to define your local adjustments, and I'm now working with huge D800 files. Apparently the first time I really went too far and pushed ACR over it's limits, coincided with the upgrade to ACR 8.1.
Anyway, problem solved. I hope future versions will be a little more robust (I'm saving for a 60 MP Hasselblad:-)
