Bluish tint on screen when Photoshop CS6 running

Hi!
I just bought a MacBook Pro three weeks ago. I'm running Mountain Lion. Also, I have my copy of Adobe Photoshop CS6.
Something very unusual is happening. I'm a Graphic Designer and currently doing an Interior Design major. I calibrated my monitor perfectly. But now, ever since I installed CS6, every time I open Photoshop, a bluish tint sets on the screen, affecting every program running (browsers, for example) and it's very annoying (not to mention it disrupts any color calibration I made to my monitor). The only solution to this problem is closing Photoshop (the problem persists even if I minimize Photoshop to use another program).
I tried opening Illustrator and it works fine. Only with Photoshop this is happening.
I searched on Apple discussion boards for similar cases and found nothing.
What's interesting, I took screenshots to send them to a friend and the screenshots don't seem to be affected by this phenomenon.
Have I gone crazy or someone here has an idea on this?
Thank you!

As I said in my post on the Apple board, my bluish tint problem when switching graphics cards eventually just went away - no idea why. And I tried recalibrating when I had the blue tint screen but do no avail.
I can open Photoshop and use it with my Intel integrated card sometimes - PS itself doesn't seem to make the switch automatically. But when I open Bridge (which I use almost always) the discrete graphics card kicks in. My temporary solution was to use gfxCardStatus on discrete all of the time. And after a while, when I began switching to integrated while on battery, my problem vanished.
But if you've a new MBP (mine's a late 2011 yet still under warranty until 2015) I'd take it back to the Apple Store and have them switch it out for another machine. The problem doesn't seem to crop up often (else there would be many more complaints) and it seems to be only on 2011 and 2012 machines. I don't think it's an Adobe problem at all as it happened to me when any app that uses discrete graphics would kick in (including Google Chrome).
I didn't send in a bug report to Apple because I thought that the problem was only with my machine. Yours is only the fourth time I've heard of the dreaded blue tint occurring. Take your machine back to the Apple Store and show them the problem. Maybe they will have a better fix than just using gfxCardStatus.
Regards,
Clinton

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.

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 Running Slow After GPU/RAM/CPU Upgrade?

Hi all,
I recently upgraded my Mac Pro 1,1 with the following:
CPU Upgrade to 2 x 2.66GHz Quad Core
RAM Upgrade to 14GB
GFX Upgrade to ATI Radeon HD 5770 1024mb VRAM
Everything seems fine. My temperatures are normal and things are seemingly speedy.
My problem is that Photoshop CS6 seems to run a little slow. I'm only working on web files (72dpi) that are yes, sometimes quite long in length (5000px high), but that has never been an issue.
Some problems I've noticed:
When I click to edit text, it may take 2 seconds before I can start editing it
When I scroll upwards it chugs a little
If I grab an object/shape and drag it around too quick, it might lag a little
I'm not sure how to explain it really, but for the couple hundred dollars I spent on upgrading my maching, I wouldn't expect any of these things to be an issue.
Here are my photoshop performance settings:
Any suggestions would help. No trolls please.

Something to try: Reset Photoshop's preferences to defaults.
Press and hold Command - Shift - Option immediately upon cold-starting Photoshop. If you get the keys down quickly enough - and you have to be very quick - you'll get a prompt asking you to confirm deleting your current preferences. Once you confirm that, Photoshop will start up with a default set of parameters, though you will still find you can select your named workspaces and (I believe) your Actions will all still be there.
Try immediately to see if the problem recurs. Then methodically make your preferred preferences changes, quit Photoshop, and restart, then test to see that the problem hasn't recurred.
With some luck, you'll have cleared up the sluggishness, and will have been able to make all your preferences changes you like without it recurring.
This really can work.

Hi,I have PhotoShop CS6 running on a Mac Pro running LION. Camera Raw 7.4 not loading

Hi,
Tried loading Camera Raw 7.4 to update my CS6 by Going to HELP\UPDATES and it says my program is up to date.
Yet when I go into Photoshop CS6 file handling preferences it says that I am running Camera Raw 7.0.3.71.
Why is CS6 not seeing the availability of the latest ACR release?

Check Help > About Plug-in > Camera Raw to verify version.

Photoshop cs6 runs slowly

I have need having trouble with cs6 running slowly on my iMac. The computer runs fine with all other applications but will quickly run up several gigs of page outs when handling camera raw and photoshop files, it starts to creep along after a short while. Apple ran "stress tests" on the computer and everything is perfectly functional. I used to have no issues with cs5 and the computer should be able to handle the task easily. I have tried to reinstall photoshop. Any other trouble shooting ideas?

What are your Photoshop > Preferences > Performance-settings? (Posting a screenshot may save you some typing.)
How many images are you likely to have open in Photoshop simultaneously and how big are they roughly on average?
http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/kb/optimize-performance-photoshop-cs4-cs5.html
Boilerplate-text:
Are Photoshop and OS fully updated and have you performed the usual trouble-shooting routines (trashing prefs by keeping command-alt-shift/ctrl-alt-shift pressed while starting Photoshop after making sure all customized presets like Actions, Patterns, Brushes etc. have been saved and making a note of the Preferences you’ve changed, 3rd party plug-ins deactivation, system maintenance, cleaning caches, font validation, etc.)?

Lite bluish tint to screen

Hi -
Just got the new Imac dual core a few weeks ago and woke it out of sleep mode and noticed a slight flicker happened, and now I feel like there is a lite bluish tint to all the whites now (for example looking at the Google homepage), almost as if a light blue thin film has been placed over the monitor screen.
I reset all the monitor calibrations in System Preferences but nothing seemed to change.
It's not interfering with any work but is driving me crazy, like an itch I can't scratch.
Also, don't know if its related but I notice a light constant flicker with the monitor goes into sub-sleep mode and the screen dims for a bit.
Anyone else had this problem or heard anything like it? Not sure if its worth taking in to Apple store...
thanks for any input

A very reasonable approach; I suspect you enjoy using your computer.
I never understood how important work could be done while viewing grey bars across one's screen looking for minute colour variations. When my screen blanker was displaying my photos with the Ken Burns effect, I looked hard to see the colour variation in a given portion of the photo as the photo moved at various angles across the screen - couldn't swear I could see a problem on the monitor I'm using now. If I stare hard enough at alternating light and dark grey bars on the screen, I might even see the Shroud of Turin on the screen eventually. On this monitor or any monitor.
Okay, I'll be serious for a moment...
I am not denying there are some with very evident and serious colour problems of course. But for the vast majority, considering the price of the entire 27" iMac is less than half the price of a professional-grade colour Eizo monitor... e.g. $4,400 for a 30" monitor with 97% Adobe RGB colour-space and only 290 cd/m², I don't think every monitor will be perfectly uniform. Eizo verifies uniformity over 25 points on the display. I don't know what Apple does of course.
http://www.eizo.com/global/products/coloredge/cg301w/index.html
I have noticed several people saying they can tolerate a little colour variation, but the flickering / tearing / blackouts are not acceptable. I agree with that and also expect those problems will be resolved in our first year of ownership so everyone will be covered by their warranty.

Photoshop CS6 running slow after installation of Mac OS 10

Hi there,
I'm new to this forum and I hope that someone can help me with this. Photoshop, Bridge and Lightroom worked just as they should until I stupidly decided to upgrade from Mountain Lion to Yosemite. Since then Photoshop CS6 is running terribly slow, not while opening files but while editing them. Shortcuts are not being accepted, I have to klick on the tool I want to use, not even cmd+z works reliable. Some tools like the spot healing brush are working absurd slow. It taks me about five times longer to edit.
Has anyone experienced something similar?
Thanks for any help!
MacBook Pro (Retina mid 2012), 2,6 GHz, 8GB, SSD, Nivida GeForce GT 650M 1024 MB

Just talked to Apple support (90 days free for OS 10.10.1), and booting in save mode and rebooting afterwards solved already A LOT of problems.

You have posted in the G5 forum, but yes, there have been reports of color problems with the new intel, usually a yellowish tint near the bottom of the screen. In any case, call Apple and discuss it with them, and make sure you get Apple Care before the end of your first year of ownership!

How well does Photoshop Cs6 run on the 15" Macbook Pro with 2.6gHz?

I'm currently 'in the market' for a new computer. My desktop is fine, but no longer can handle all the tasks I can toss at it for work (i.e. graphic design). I have been carefully biding my time, getting as much use out of it and my essentially crummy Paint Shop Photo x2, and I believe now for it to be the time to invest in a Mac and the newest edition of Photoshop (CS6). My question is this: Which one of the two Macbook Pro 15" will work best with it, and yet still survive through the next few series of upgrades? My boyfriend says the higher one, the 2.6gHz guy, will do just fine for what I need, I'm just chewing my nails off at the price. And no, I'm not interested in the retina display model. Suggesting it is just pointless.
Basically, I'd like to know which Macbook Pro 15", the one with 2.3gHz or 2.6gHz, will suffice for the jobs I need to do, which include all areas of graphic design and artwork (hence Photoshop), along with heavy internet usage (7-9+ tabs open at any time), Word documents or the equivalent (Pages) and any extras (iTunes, Spotify). Bonus if it can gently tolerate things such as the Sims 3 and all its expansion packs.

The nice thing about the 2.6GHz model is that it comes with a NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M with 1GB of GDDR5 memory. The 2.3GHz model only has the NVIDEO GeForuce GT 650M with 512MB of GDDR5 memory. And Photoshop will take advantage of that extra video RAM.
That said, I have an older (late 2011) 15" MBP with a 512MB video card and Photoshop CS6 (and the entire Adobe Design & Web Premium suite) works just fine. If I were you, I would buy the base 2.3GHz model with 4GB of RAM and upgrade the RAM, and possible the hard drive with a SSD, as you need it. You can upgrade your RAM yourself to 16GB and you will notice an appreciable difference in Photoshop speed. And I would recommend the RAM upgrade straightaway. You can then look at putting in a 512GB SSD for around $400 and you'll have one of the fastest machines around.
So go with the 2.3GHz and upgrade the RAM immediately. Good sources for RAM are Crucial, Corsair, etc. You'll get far more out of a RAM upgrade than you will the processor upgrade.

Adobe Photoshop CS6 Running program

So, I opened a big .psd document and I worked on it for a while. I restarted my pc, and the Photoshop CS6 crashed, then after restarting the PC Adobe Photoshop CS6 was trying to open the autosave from last time, and then it showed me this error: Could not apply the saved panel configuration, resetting to default.
And after that, this error: Could not apply the saved panel configuration, resetting to default.
Then, Photoshop CS6 crashed. Please help me!

Graphic error on screen when Safari is running

Dear support
When I'm running Safari and pressing the Wi-fi button, batteri life button, spotlight or the time button in the upper right corner a graphic error occurs.
It persists after closing one of the menus again.

Does anyone have a clue about this problem?

Display the Welcome screen when Photoshop CC starts up?

I have researched and found lots of incidences where people want to keep the Welcome screen from displaying but I am want it to display and it will not.
The checkbox under Edit>Preferences>General that says "Do Not Show Welcome Screen on Launch" is unchecked. I have tried checking that box saving, then unchecking saving again and restarting Photoshop. I have tried uninstalling Photoshop twice, once saving my preferences, the second time discarding my preferences and re-installing. Still no Welcome screen at launch. I have read that there is an option under Help>Welcome... to reopen the Welcome screen. I do not see that option and believe that is on the Mac only.
By the way the Welcome screen opens/works perfectly in Illustrator CC 2014.
I am running a Windows 7 PC with the latest version of Photoshop CC 2014.
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks!

I believe you have an installation problem. Others have had problems with the Welcome Screen and I had a problem after the 15.2.2 update. Others were not able to Play the video tutorials from the welcome window. Photoshop seems to use CEPHtmlEngine.exe to display the Welcome screen. The CC 2014.2.2 update installed on my machine without a problem. CC 2014 worked and I had turned off the welcome screen. However I did not have the new Photoshop CC 2014 preference Do not show Welcome Screen on launch and when I tried to use menu Help>Welcome I received a popup error stating Photoshop could not start the plug-in because it was not signed. The way I was able to fix this problem was to download the direct CC 2014 installer and install CC 2014 on top of the CC 2014 currently insall. CC 2014 installed and was installed activated and after I used menu Help>Update to get CC 2014 up to CC 2014.2.2 all worked my Add-ons and preferences were still there. However if I start CC 2014 and immediately try to open the Welcome screen I will get the pop-up your getting Welcome Dialog not installed. But when I click OK and try menu Help>Welcome a second time it works. The new Preference Do not show Welcome Scree on launch is there and I can set it there or from the welcome screen option.

When Photoshop CS6 is invoked from PSE 11 Organizer why is a new file created with _edited-1 appende

I just converted a large PSE 10 catalog to work with a downloaded trial version of PSE 11. When I brought up the Organizer and clicked on the Editor button I selected Photoshop CS 6. At that point the Organizer created an image stack with a new file on the top of the stack that had a file name that was the original file name with "_edited-1" appended to the end of it. Is there any way to avoid this? For me it is going to create a tedious step to delete the original file and rename the new file after editing. For probably 98% of my editing I will use only the Adobe Camera Raw editor on my imported raw files (Nikon's .nef). ACR puts the editing data in a sidecar .xmp file so there's no need to protect the original file from be mistakenly replaced by an edited version.

That's not a new behaviour : in old versions choosing the external editor did create a copy in a version set.
I don't have CS6, so I can't be specific, but I wonder why you should open CS6 if most of your images can be edited in ACR. For them, you only need to click 'Done' and that saves the edits in the xmp sidecar file. I guess most of the remaining files could be processed in the PSE11 editor and saved in any image format (jpeg, tiff, psd...). Only a minority would have to be processed in CS6***, and in that case, creating a new copy in a version set seems quite reasonable.
Edit:
*** in CS6 or the full ACR version of CS6. In my case, it's very rare that I need the other tabs in ACR.

Random white screen when trying to run applet (Please help)

We have been plagued by this problem for months. We are running a Java applet (that we wrote) requiring JRE 1.3.0_01, where the html file has been created with html converter. RANDOMLY, when loading the applet, the applet will come up (we spawn a new browser window for it) and we will get a blank white screen, AND netscape will freeze, needing to be terminated. Saying program is not responding when you click the X.
This is not a multithreaded program.
I have also tried the new JRE 1.4 with the same problems.
The strange thing is, we have found some workarounds.... if you tell your plugin to show the java console all the time, it takes care of majority of the crashes, but the applet STILL does the same thing every once in awhile. If someone can tell me what the problem is here I will be eternally grateful!!
Steve

I had the same problem at one time during the development of my applets. Without more details from you, there is no way to know the exact cause but I can give you some ideas:
1) painting problems
2) null pointer problems
3) improper setup of the HTML file (this was the culprit for us...double check EVERYTHING)
