Adobe Exchange Plugin Slowing Down Photoshop CC?

Recently, Photoshop CC has been running really slow, and slowing down my computer as a whole. I've been trying to trouble shoot what was causing this, because it wasn't doing this previously. I believe I've narrowed it down to two things - Too many styles loaded in my Styles panel at once (my custom Styles file was over 200mb, because I added a lot of styles that had high res images embedded in them), and for some reason, the Adobe Exchange plugin also seems to be causing a problem.
When I change my styles back to the default styles it helps speed thigns up, but Photoshop still doesn't start performing normally again until I remove the Adobe Exchange plugin. Anyone else having issues with this plugin eating up a lot of memory and slowing things down?

Hi Otmaxo,
Thanks for getting in touch. So that we can work out whether this is a problem with Extension Manager or Adobe Exchange, can you try closing Photoshop CC, then downloading the Adobe Exchange Panel (ZXP) from www.adobeexchange.com, then installing the ZXP file directly in Extension Manager without Photoshop CC open?
If this does not work, can you confirm whether other ZXP files can be successfully installed via Extension Manager?
Thanks,
Fraser

  • Can't log in to Adobe Exchange Plugin

    I installed the new Adobe Exchange plugin but I can't login. It stays cycling on the Logging in... screen on the panel. Anyone else having issues with this?
    (Windows 7 64 bit, Photoshop CS6 64 bit)
    It's been stuck for the last 20 min now. I've already restarted PS and tried logging in again.

    Hi Glen,
    Can you please make sure you've installed any available updates through Adobe Application Manager, reboot and then try again?
    Fingers crossed that should do the trick, but if that does not work, then please turn on logging, retry and then send the generated logs to me at fgregor at adobe dot com.
    WINDOWS
    Go to the Start Menu and type in ‘regedit’
    Click regedit.exe from the Programs list
    Navigate to Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\CSXS.3
    Increase the LogLevel to 6
    Log Files: C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Temp
    For example, if you were running Photoshop CS6 the log file name will be “csxs3-PHSP.log”
    Also, please include the log files from these locations:
    C:\Users\<UserName>\AppData\Local\Temp\amt3.log
    C:\Users\<UserName>\AppData\Local\Temp\PDApp.log
    C:\Users\<UserName>\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Exchange\adobeexchange.log

  • Adobe bridge is slowing down my mac pro how do I fix?

    Adobe bridge is slowing down my mac pro how do I fix

    I have a new Mac pro
    If you are still within your 15 day return period,  nicely explain that you may return the computer without iDVD. That usually does the trick.  (Ask to speak to a senior advisor.)
    408-996-1010
    If that doesn't work you can purchase iLife 11  (includes iDVD) on disk (don't get the download) for about $39.

  • Configurator panels(even empty once) are slowing down Photoshop CS6 significantly

    After updating java this morning, in some cases Configurator Photoshop CS6 panels(even empty once) are slowing down Photoshop CS6 significantly.
    I noticed this when i got complaints about hotkeys not working when custom panels were open, the behavior was similar to holding down the hotkey for temp access to tools
    I found a workaround where i made the panels not persistent and therefor they load everytime i expand them (slowing photoshop).
    Is there a better workaround? and/or is this issue a known thing?

    I Had a problem with Configurator slowing down photoshop and what I found on another thread here worked for me. What I did was to exclude Photoshop from my virus software. Once i did that my issues went away.

  • Why adobe flash player slows down all browser's performance?

    I rememeber longer ago there were problems with flash player plugin inside Mozilla's Firefox browser causing the plugin to crash: Adobe Flash plugin has crashed - Prevent it from happening again | Firefox Help
    After a recent update (17,0,0,134) it almost never crash but it slows down all browsers performance untill it finally launches next video. Almost the majority of all news sites use flash player
    to launch its' commercial. And it has several such boxes with commercials, for example: www.lrytas.lt
    And while I'm listening to music via youtube and on the other tab reading news on that site, when music clip ends and the browser starts to load other music videoclip,
    then the whole browser's work is paralysed - I can't write text, cannot scroll down, cannot click any link. All this is because the system is busy while in youtube next clip is loading.
    Mouse marker becomes into round rotating circle indicating loading procedure (firefox is not responding). And it takes time - up to 10-15 seconds to launch new video. Then sudenly all my actions is executed after such pause - my text is typed,
    my scroll down  and maybe link is pressed. All this slowing down procedure is annoying. It wastes a lot of time. I open task manager and I see that Firefox is taking 900.000 or 1300.000 K of memory. My OS is Windows 7.
    I close whole firefox.exe process and then it automatically close plugins. Then I open the browser again and it ask to automatically recover interrupted sites, I agree with it and then it opens everything again. And again
    it is working continuously for some time untill slows down browser again. With more tabs more problems. Moreover, view of a video sometimes comes too late too. Some images are lost as system is too late already because
    loading procedure took too much resources.
    Long long ago flash player was better. But today with a rise of new ****** substandart computers like iphones ipads you have to evolve the player in such a way that it has to play on everything, but its performance on different platforms
    is not the same.
    Who is guilty - my PC, Firefox or the plugin? Or maybe I am?
    In My Cold Opinion, users actions can't be ignored. The preference should be user's continuous control over a system load.

    You are right about high CPU usage. It was even when playing various computer games. I don't have problems anymore. But not because I disabled all addons. I did these things:
    In the Location bar, type about:config and press Enter. The about:config "This might void your warranty!" warning page may appear. Click I'll be careful, I promise! to continue to the about:config page.
    Search for dom.ipc.plugins.flash.disable-protected-mode in the list of preferences.
    Double-click on the preference to toggle its value from false to true. (If the setting is already true it means that Flash Protected Mode is currently disabled.)
    Close Firefox.
    Restart Firefox.
    And since then I don't have that particular problem with overloading. I just disabled some of flash protected mode. How is that related with "overloading"? Strage. Hardware acceleration I've enabled again as without it whole text field in news sites is sometimes black.
    Thanks anyway Mr.

  • Adobe Exchange wont install into photoshop CC

    Running Photoshop CC on Windows 7 on a work networked PC.
    I have tried to install directly inside photoshop but it just hangs when it says it needs to launch extension manager. I then tried to do it just with extension manager already open but this didn't help. I then closed photoshop and tried to install exchange via Adobe extension manager CC. When I do it seems to launch it and I have to accept the t&c's but then it comes up with the error: File path "\\hm" is invalid. The extension will not be installed.
    Now \\hm is the network path but what I don't understand is why exchnage is trying to go via this path as everything is installed locally on my machine and I am calling the Adobe Exchange install file directly from the hard drive.
    Hope that all makes sense. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
    Thanks

  • Will downloading adobe flash player slow down my mac

    Hi, i have a macbook pro 13 inch. Its my first mac and still figuring some stuff out but i want to be able to go on youtube, but when i pull up youtube it says i require adobe flash player; is there a way to get youtube videos without downloading flash. If not i dont mind downloading it, just would like to know if it will slow down the speed of my mac before i do download flash.

    No, installing Flash will not slow down your machine.  Make sure it is up to date so there are no security problems.

  • How can I stop Layer Comps slowing down Photoshop

    Hi all,
    This topic has been discussed in other threads, but always without resolution. So as I have just encountered this problem today, I thought I would post the issue again to hopefully capture fresh attention.
    I just moved back over from Fireworks to Photoshop, mainly to make use of Layer Comps for displaying multiple states of my UI design. Everything was going swimmingly, but when I reached about 40 layer comps, Photoshop suddenly slowed, or at least the use of the Photoshop file with multiple layer comps slowed. If I try and drag objects/layers, they move painfully slow, making it unusable. If I remove all of the layer comps, everything speeds up again.
    I thought there might be a memory issue (as in I had run out!), but if I open two versions of the same file, one with the layer comps, one without, the one without works fine, but the one with the layer comps is slow. If it were a memory issue, surely both files open at the same time would be slow, as would the rest of Photoshop?
    I'm not sure how many layers I have, but the file is about 20mb in size, so not huge.
    I find layer comps extremely useful for UI design and certainly expected to make use of more than 40. Does anyone know of any fix or anyway of making this work? I wonder if the next CC version of Photoshop will have improved it.
    Thanks for any advice you might have.
    Alex

    Yes, I can't help but feel it is some kind of bug. If it were my PC running out of memory, then I would imagine both open photoshop files would run slowly, rather than just the one with the layer comps (while the other open file runs perfectly).

  • Does Adobe Dynamic Links slow down the rendering process ?

    Hello everybody,
    I have a question concerning Adobe Dynamic Links.
    This is my problem :
    I work on After Effects. I have a composition that is rendered quite fast. (almost in real time...)
    But when I open the linked comp in Premiere Pro, it lags as hell. Maybe 2x, 3x slower.
    So I'd like to know why Adobe Premiere Pro is slow, while After Effects is fast ?
    Is this normal ?
    What can I do about it ?
    Thanks,
    Regards.

    Because you wouldn't want After Effects to take over all resources from Premiere Pro when you are working primarily in Premiere Pro and just using After Effects as a helper application through Dynamic Link.
    But I primarly see this when I'm exporting via AME. This pulls in not only PPro, but also AE, etc., all through DL. And everything comes to a halt whenever a lower third shows up to be rendered, because AE serializes the process. So my eight core processor becomes a one core processor until that seven seconds or so of footage goes by. And that, is silly. Sorry to have to call it what it is. And it's a serious performance problems that Adobe should address and fix. Truly.
    I guess my "real" question is, why is this an Abobe problem in the first place? This is, or at least should be, an OS resource allocation and scheduling problem. Same as memory allocation should be handled by the OS's Virtual Memory system and not by Adobe. I was taught that problems like this were the whole point behind the a multi-tasking scheduler.  Yeah, I know -- back then we had Unix and VMS, and today we have Windows and OSX. This is... progress?

  • Audio plugins slows down editing

    I'm wondering if I'm using the wrong approach.
    The problem is, FCPX is becomes slow when I add audio plugins on the time line. Is there a better way to do things?
    What I usually do is have 2 microphones for my videos. I add a bit of compression and reverb on both audio channels, before I start cutting the footage. So the result is all editing becomes slow, due to the audio plugins I added.
    I usually create synchronized clips or multicam clips for most of my footage.
    The ideal situation would be to be able to add the audio plugins as the last step, but that becomes awkward when you have many edits on the timeline.

    Not at my FCPX machine today but couldn't you either export the finished project and apply your audio filters there or send the stems out for audio post? There's got to be a way to do this. Maybe make a compound clip (I don't even know what that is) and apply your filters and FX to the tracks there?

  • Seit cc 2014 Update funktioniert adobe exchange plugin nichtmehr. was tun?

    Hat jemand einen Lösungsvorschlag?

    First, go install the Photoshop updates.  The current version is 14.2.1, and you are still on 14.1.2.
    And 3D is disabled because your video driver crashed "on 22/05/2014 at 13:22:04".

  • Problème d'installation de Adobe Exchange Panel

    Bonjour,
    Mac Os X 10.9.1
    Photoshop CC 14.1.2 x64
    Adobe Extension Manager CC 7.1.1.32
    Je télécharge Adobe Exchange Panel  ( https://www.adobeexchange.com ) en veillant à bien prendre la version CC et après avoir vérifier que Photoshop CC était pris en charge. Lorsque j'essaie de l'installer, j'ai un message d'erreur réclamant la présence de Fireworks 12.0 ou supérieure. Que faut-il que je fasse ? Il me semblait qu'il me suffisait d'avoir Photoshop pour que cette extension fonctionne.
    Merci

  • Adobe slowed down after running fine on a Mac Book Pro Photoshop settings have been reset

    adobe slowed down after running fine on a Mac Book Pro.   Adobe Settings have been Reset

    Hello Gener7,
         I did try everything on the FAQ page (all steps) I also did them a few more times with "Adobe help" walking me through 2 more times.  I just don't get it, I have been on with Adobe on some days up to 5 hours at a time for over a month now.  I think it must be something with the installation disc but they say no, no, switchboard is just not working on my OS X 10.9.4.  I even took the computer into the apple store here and had them look it over, reinstall everything and they say it's the Adobe software.
         Thank you very much for your help, it's nice to know someone is reading this :-)  I do work around this by saving the files and reopening them in the next program I need but everyone in class is always waiting on me, (it sucks) and I just think it should work.  Hope you have a good day and I will put an update on here if this is ever figured out.
    Thanks one more time :-)
