Brush strokes very slow to render in PS 2014

Running CC PS 2014 on a MacPro 3.7 GHz with 32Gb RAM
Large brush strokes take many seconds, sometimes tens of seconds, to render.
I bought the MacPro with lots of RAM thinking the problem would be solved.
I've fiddle with the GPU setting with no joy. I set the system on the MacPro via Migration Assistant from my 17" MBPro. The MBPro suffered the same problem despite 16Gb RAM.
The MBPro system was migrated from a 2010 MacPro where I originally encountered the issue.
My feeling is that somehow the issue has originated on the 2010 MacPro and has embedded itself on the current systems by using the Migration Assistant.
The issue is consistent with or without using a Wacom tablet and is obviously exaggerated depending on file size.
My files are consistently minimum 90mb and often go to 1Gb+.
Appreciate any help.

Two things I would try doing.
Backup to another drive with SuperDuper.
Boot off the clone, see how it runs.
Repair the internal drive with DU and follow up with Disk Warrior.
Fixed things for me when I was getting ready for 10.5.2, but in the end, and because DW 4.1 wasn't yet available to upgrade, did a fresh install when 10.5.2 was available and things have been fine.
Leopard Cache Cleaner or Path Finder 4.8 can both I think delete all those ".DS_" files which might help.
Use to be a phrase "Finder Amnesia" where it was not or was slow to do things like show new files in Finder; not showing folder sizes even when selected (command option I could 'wake it up' somewhat).
Finder is suppose to have been "improved" but it is a huge pile of code.
The only way I find Finder and system to really feel responsive - for me - is to boot from a fast dedicated boot drive, and to have /User/account on another drive or better yet, on a stripped RAID. Not an option for most, and I don't think that should even be necessary but I liked 15K drives and RAID before and addicted to speed I guess.
Outside of faster drives and more memory, not much you can do, but the above cloning (and restore back) does seem to work and worth doing - I do it once or twice a year at least, generally when there is a .x update to OS X.
I would be more inclined to suspect corrupt caches, directory, prefs, DS_Store files.

  • EPM Web Pages very slow to render

    I've installed Foundation Services on a Windows 2008 box with a single dual core CPU, 4GB RAM.
    When I launch Workspace, the web page takes at lease 5 minutes to render. In addition launching any applciation within Workspace e.g. Shared Services, it also take about 5 minutes to render.
    Any suggestions on what I should check to resolve this?

    You should only have one router on a home network (as its function is to translate a single public IP address to multiple private addressed on your LAN). If you have the 2Wire and TC both configured as routers, slow connection or no connection would be the likely result.
    Suggestion would be to choose "Add New Network Device" when setting up the TC and add it as an Access Point. This will provide wireless connectivity and ensure that only one device is doing network address translation. My network is setup in this exact way (when an Airport Extreme router and a TC added as an Access Point) and I have not experienced any problems with 4 Macs that connect wirelessly.

  • Photoshop CS6 - Very Slow Brush Speeds...

    Hi:
    I thought CS5 was bad, but brushing with CS6 all brush strokes are very, very slow. If I make a brush stoke I have literally have to put my hand on my chin and wait for the brush to catch up. I cannot work like this. Any suggestions on what to do to speed up the brushes? Forget about adding anything else to Photoshop, please work on speeding up exisiting functions.

  • Enabling GPU in CS6 slows down brush strokes

    Hello, I'm currently using Adobe Photoshop CS6 Extended and I am experiencing a performance issue with the brush tool when the GPU option is enabled in the performance preferences.
    When the GPU option is disabled I am able to draw lines and marks very quickly with all of the default brush tools available.  Even when options such as scattering and dual brush are turned on simultaneously the brush strokes are rendered so quickly on the canvas it feels instantaneous.  This is great for me because I use Photoshop and other programs for digital drawing and painting.
    However with the GPU disabled I am unable to use functions such as canvas rotation, flick panning, scrubby zoom and so on - features that I find incredibly useful.  Also at different zoom levels images become highly pixelated and smooth lines appear very jagged.  This obviously makes images very difficult to work with!
    As soon as I turn on the GPU option, even at the most basic setting the brush tool renders much slower across the canvas than when it was turned off.  However other operations such as zooming, flick panning, saving etc appear to be very fast.
    This is quite confusing (and disappointing) as the brush tool is by far the most important tool I use in Photoshop.  I spend more time painting marks and drawing lines than anything else.  My understanding is that the brush tool should be just as fast to use (if not faster?) when the graphics processor is enabled as when it is disabled.
    Here is the setup I am using:
    Windows 7 Home Premium (64 bit)
    Adobe Photoshop CS6 Extended (64 bit) with latest updates as of 28/11/14
    Asus Geforce GTX 560 Direct CU with the latest driver 344.75
    16GB available RAM
    Intel i7 Quad Core CPU 3.07 GHz
    As my GPU does not appear to be working hard at all when Photoshop is running even with advanced settings turned on, I can only guess that this is a problem with the Nvidia driver or Photoshop itself?  It seems as if the opengl drawing mode is not communicating properly with the Nvidia driver.  That's my guess so far as I'm no tech expert.
    I have followed every step of the Photoshop CS6 GPU FAQ multiple times http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/kb/photoshop-cs6-gpu-faq.html
    But the problem always persists.
    I have also followed the advice of others by turning brush spacing up to 10% or higher which does help a little bit but this obviously does not solve the problem!
    I would be extremely grateful if anyone could help me to solve this problem - perhaps someone from Adobe can test this on a similar hardware and software setup?  I would be very interested to learn what exactly is going on that is causing the slowdown.
    I will also notify Nvidia and see if they are aware of the problem.
    Many thanks,
    Calum

    Yes, it sounds like something is wrong with your video card driver.
    Until Apple releases a fix, you can keep OpenGL drawing disabled.

  • Very slow render on my beast of a machine

    Hello, I have an issue whereby my rendering is very slow. I am using premier elements 12 with a windows 8.1 computer that has an 8-core amd 8350 processor, 8 gbs of ram, and I have an AMD 7970 6gb video card crossfired with an AMD 280x video card. Crossfire probably doesnt even work, but even with just the 280x, it should be faster than this.
    I capture game footage, which is captured in xvid format, which I then import into PE12. I don't add any effects, other than some color tweaking, and some brightness/contrast tweaking. Then I export it in the same specifications it was captured in (1080p 30fps). A 7 minute video takes about 20 minutes to render/export using MP4 codec. If I try to use other codecs, it takes even longer. On my Mac Pro, using other programs like iMovie, this sake video would take like 2 minutes, and it only has a 4-core processor at a much slower clock speed, and only has a 6870 amd video card, which is like 1/4 the power. I feel that either the 8-cores aren't being used, or something else is wrong. No rendering that doesn't involve complicated effects should take longer to render than the footage length is. If the video is 10 minutes long, it should take 1 minute to render if it doesn't have chroma keying or anything heavy like that. How do I fix this?

    Thanks for the tip. Bandicam already works when I choose "motion jpeg", and it works very nicely as far as being able to record in very high quality without disrupting my gaming performance. The issue is that it still takes longet to render a video than the length of the video itself. So a 6 minute clip, for example, will take about 15-20 minutes. This is unacceptable when ther are no major effects going on, such as chromakeying. I should be able to render atleast at speed play (ie, if a video is 2 minutes, it should take no more than 2 minutes), based on performance I get on my lesser Mac with a lesser CPU, lesser video card etc. It may be the rendering settings. I am using the stock "youtube widescreen HD" preset in PE12, and i manually change teh 720p to 1080p (like my footage). What else can I try?
    The only thing I can think of is that PE12 doesnt use 8 cpu cores, or it doesnt use OpenCL. Does it? I cannot find any settings in PE12 for "enable multicore processing" or "enable openCL" etc.

  • Healing brush/Clone stamp tool and others very slow processing

    Healing brush/Clone stamp tool and others very slow processing. System resources monitor shows only 700MB (of 5GB allocated to Photoshop) RAM and 30% CPU is used to perform such tasks as healing brush. Process bar comes up and is painfully slow to complete the task. I don’t understand why does Photoshop not use all the resources available/allocated? No other programs are running at the time, I have tried all the suggestions on this forum and all over the Google. My brand new system is: Intel I7 4770K overclocked to 4.3GHz, 8GB 1600 RAM, Samsung PRO 120GB SSD system drive, 100GB scratch disk. The photos I usually work on don’t exceed 20MB in size. Any suggestion would be appreciated.  Thanks

    Thanks for the answer.
    I have not mentioned the GPU because the processes I described (as far as I know) are not supposed to be using GPU resources. So far I have not been able to afford the GPU i want which is GTX770, so I use Intel 4600 built in graphics instead. To be honest I find, that 4600 graphics is quite powerful. I am able to play Mass Effect 3 on Full spec on max res without game slowing down. And Windows 7 64bit index score is 7.8 for the 4600 graphics. Overall index score is 7.8 on my PC righ now.
    I'll try to get the Photoshop system info as soon as possible.
    Thanks again.

    Do you have multiple keyboard layouts installed?
    It is possible that you have switched the keyboard layout by accident.
    * http://support.microsoft.com/kb/258824 - How to change your keyboard layout
    Windows remembers the keyboard layout setting per application and you may have changed the keyboard layout by accident via a keyboard shortcut.

  • Very slow editing, playback sluggy even after render ...

    I working on a movie, footage is mostly 1080p 50 fr. For the moment the movielenght on the timeline  is only 8 minutes and editing is becoming so hard because of the slowness of some tasks...
    I explain:
    1) At start up loading this latest project is slow
    2) Media asset pannel: thumbnails of footage is loading very slow when you go to another folder
    3) Pre-viewing of (a part of) the footage already added to the timeline (expertmode) is sluggy, but sometimes even when pre-rendering with the renderbutton is done (the render markers are correct placed) !
    Also a crash op PE sometimes happens (but not so frequent)
    Final rendering to a format (dvd, mp4 etc) works well but ofcourse it's difficult to make a good movie if pre-viewing of the timelinefootage is not working well ...
    So my question is if I replace my internal (ram) memory in my pc from 8 GB to 16 GB, would this fix all this 3 problems ?
    I have only 2 memory banks, now with 2x4 gb so I would have to buy 2x8 that's more than 100 euro (more than PE itselfs thus ...).
    My pc works well for a recent game like Far Cry 3 so I don't need the memory for other programs ... So I want to be shure if this will fix it.
    Finally, my config: PC has a small ssd with win 7 home premium and PE 11 dutch, all other data on traditional HD, separate ghraphics card:

    That's almost the same as right-click and runas admin, the only difference is that you don't have to right-click. The problem with this solution I mentioned above already:
    windows acts than like you are the admin and the admin documentsfolderlocations is the standard instead of yours folderlocations (so all your footage, pictures and all data you want to use in your project should be than in the admin documentsfolders instead of your own user folder ....
    Than it's better to change the useraccountpermission in admin, that's what I did now. So I'm working with an account with full adminrights now. That's not very safe but I want to give it a try for the time of the project-in-use . I've updated also the graphic and audio drivers.
    I've also disabled temporary AV.
    All this didn't change anything for loading the thumbnails when you open a project. It still takes minutes to load and the first time after startup opening a subfolder in the assetspanel also takes again minutes (only the first time after startup, if you later go back in that subfolder thumbnails are showed almost directly).
    Play-back of timeline seems almost ok now, but this was already yesterday the case (since the scratchlocations didn't change anymore)
    In the manual I read that it is advised to defrag the scratchlocations from time to time. But win vista/7/8 have auto defrag ... ?

  • What does 'include render files' option mean for when I duplicate a project. I deselected it and the duplicated file is very slow so maybe this has affected it. It's a shame cause original project is deleted. Have I lost the rendered files? Thanks

    What does 'include render files' option mean for when I duplicate a project. I deselected it and the duplicated file is very slow so maybe this has affected it. It's a shame cause original project is deleted. Have I lost the rendered files? Thanks

    Yes, if you duplicate without the render files and delete the original project you lose the render files. But render files get recreated - automatically if you have it set in the preferences (which is the default option). It just takes time.

  • How does one make very large brush strokes of several inches wide. I could do this in the previous version of Apurture.

    I just upgraded my Aperture app but now it will not allow me to make inches wide brush strokes when I need to lighten, darken or other adjustments. In the previous version I could make inches wide adjustments. I really need to do this again. How can I do this?

    The brush size is measured in pixels.  The maximum is 1,000 px.  If you have any pixel-filtering turned on, the maximum size drops to 200 px.  In the Brush HUD, make sure "Detect Edges" is un-checked, and that "Brush Range" is "All".

  • Adobe Photoshop CC2014 internet connection very slow

    Hi,
    I'm developing an Adobe Photoshop HTML5 (website) extension. This is working fine in Photoshop CC, but is very slow in CC2014.
    Today I've installed an update for Photoshop CC2014 and I was presented with an 'introduction' screen, loaded from the web.
    This had the same slowness, indicating my extension is not at fault.
    The regular functionality of Photoshop has a normal speed, and I'm working on a recent computer with Win 7 64bit.
    I've recorded a video showing how slow it really is (and proof that my internet connection has sufficient speed)

  • 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.

  • Lightroom is very slow, utilizes 100% CPU, then freezes or closes program.  How do I fix it?

    I am having a problem with Lightroom 5 being very slow, utilizing 100% CPU, then freezing or closing the program.  How do I fix it?
    I just upgraded to LR5 from LR3 on Sunday as well as CS6 from CS5 (which I have not tried out yet).  I spent several hours talking with Vamil, from LR Support Staff yesterday.  He was extremely helpful and kind and tried everything he could think of while remote-handling my PC and talking with me on the phone.  He deleted preferences, cache, temp files, updated graphics with a new replacement file from AMD site, then re-downloaded and reinstalled LR5. 
    It is still very slow and then freezes and closes down with a message of utilizing 100% CPU.  Within several seconds of using the brush in Develop, I started having lots of problems.  I could not even move the picture around.  The side screens would not disappear like they should.  And I could not move to another picture.  The day before I spent several hours trying to work on just 1 picture.  After all the changes yesterday, I tried to move from picture number 1 to about 130 after having not touched it for 10 minutes, and a half hour later, it still said, "Processing" with no picture coming up, just a blank prieview pane.
    LR Support suggested I get a new CPU though he thought according to specs mine should be ok and other programs were running fine.
    My PC is only 2 years old.
    I talked to HP briefly about CPU updates for my HP PC.  He said I probably do not have a problem but suggested I run self-diagnostics and maybe buy a new CPU anyway. 
    I ran diagnostics listed through the HP Support Assistant connection on my PC.  All was ok. 
    I still researched if I could buy a compatible CPU upgrade.  I cannot even find any CPUs still selling that are listed for my PC.  Best Buy Store said they could not even order a compatible CPU.  They said my Bus speed may not be big enough, so they suggest I get a new PC.  What Bus speed do I need?
    I have the following PC Setup:
         AMD Phenom II X6 1045T Processor 2.70 GHz with 6 Cores
              with 2700 MHz Base, 3200 MHz Boost, and 4000 System Bus Speed, and 95 watts;
         HP Pavilion Elite, HPE-500y, 900 GB Free, new in 2011;
         Windows 7, 64 Bit;
         RAM 16 GB, DDR3;
         Graphics AMD Radeon HD 6450;
         Nikon, D200, with Raw Files;
         External Hard Drive for Original Photos, 600 GB Free;
         LR Catalog and Library are on Main Hard Drive;
         Monitor, Sony CPD-200ES, new in 2004.
    I am thinking of buying a new monitor tonight mostly so I can do better photo work while enlarging the pictures to do it.  I am concerned that while it will help my viewing, it will take more power away, and make my usage of LR5 even worse.  Will a new monitor affect my performance?  I am looking at HP Monitors with IPS.  Is this the best recommended choice for LR and Photoshop CS6?
    I think I would like to stay with a 6 core processor since I need to have several items open for other non-Photoshop functions.  When running LR5, I had everything else closed.  With LR3, I was able to have other things open.
    I do not really want to buy a new computer and know that those I have talked with at this point are only guessing after looking for what they thought should fix it.  4 People from Lightroom Support have all thought I should not be having problems with my setup. 
    I bought one of the best computers 2 years ago.  Is it really obsolete already so that I cannot use LR5?  Is everyone else buying a new PC every 2 years?  I used to go 5-7 years. 
    Even though I have figured out some of what my PC has, I really do not know technically what I am talking about so am at the mercy of other's help.  Are there any solutions that might work short of buying a new computer?
    I also have taken 40th anniversary photos for some people and am waiting to give them as a free gift since I am not a professional at all.  I am hoping to get through this problem soon so that I can provide some nice memories for them.
    I have not gotten any further than trying to adjust 1 picture.  I have no comments on uploading speed, since I did that while still in LR3.
    Thank you for your time and help.

    I'm running LR with no speed issues on an Intel 17-860 quad core with about the same performance as your AMD Phenom II X6 1045T Processor. My system is also an HP, which originally had a single 1TB 7200 HDD. I've since added a second 2TB Black Caviar HDD, which provided no significant difference in LR's performance.
    AMD processors do not implement hyper-threading and don't need it. I'd start debug by process of elimination:
    1) Disconnect all externally attached USB, FireWire, or other externally connected devices except keyboard, mouse, and your single 1280 x1024 display. This includes all externally attached memory card readers, phones, ipads, etc.
    2) Reboot and logon as Administrator.
    3) Remove your Internet connection and turn off all Antivirus and firewall programs.
    4) Open LR and under Catalog Settings set 'Standard Preview Size' to 1440 (slightly larger than your display width). Under the Metadata tab here make sure 'Automatically Write changes into XMP is NOT checked.
    4) Create a 'New Catalog,' Create a new folder and add about 10 raw image file copies to it for testing, and Import it into the new catalog. In the Import module make sure under File Handling 'Render Previews' has 1:1 selected. Wait until all Preview building has completed in the Library module.
    Try editing these image files inside the new catalog as you were previously.

  • MacBook Pro Suddenly Very Slow

    Hello all,
    I own a mid-2012 MacBook Pro with 8gb of RAM and 2.5GHz i5 processor running the latest version of Mavericks. I purchased it back in December 2012, and have only had one issue with it (graphics card failure, which was fixed by Apple).
    Everything else has been fine, as far as I can tell; apps load fairly quickly (such as Adobe AI and PS) and there hasn't been any lagging or glitchy-ness unless I'm gaming.
    However, recently (about 6 days ago) my computer started to become EXTREMELY slow. Booting up takes probably double the time it used to take, and opening Adobe Illustrator has taken 2-3 minutes. Once I get Illustrator open, something as simple as a brush stroke will freeze up the machine for about 30 seconds. All other apps act similarly. When I'm playing music with Spotify it will lag and stop playing for a little while and then resume. The computer will even freeze when I do something VERY simple such as hovering over the dock to magnify the icons. Even as I'm typing this message, the computer freezes up every few words and makes me sit and wait 15 seconds before continuing to type.
    The issue began the day I installed AutoCAD. Is that the issue, or a coincidence? I tried uninstalling it but the Mac was still very slow and glitchy. I tried uninstalling lots of apps I don't use (and don't know how I got them) like Growl and FUSE. I also cleaned up the HDD and have 118gb out of 500 free, and I ran the Apple Hardware Test (the basic and extended tests) with no problems found. Nothing I've done so far will speed the Mac back up to normal.
    I do have a Time Machine backup, so one possibility is to restore the Mac to the backup from a week ago (before the issue began). The only problem with that is I'm afraid I'll lose some of my apps (mainly Adobe CS6) which I no longer have the serial number for, and there's no way I'm risking having to buy it again.
    Another option is to move all important files to an external drive, wipe the whole thing clean, and start over. Again, I'd rather not do that for fear of losing my applications.
    I checked the Activity Monitor and everything seems normal there:
    Lastly: Upon looking through other forum posts like mine, I saw that most people want to see the EtreCheck report to try and help; so here it is:

    Thanks to everyone in advance!! I'm a student and couldn't live without my computer. Please help

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    Step 1
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
    Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
    While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
    Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
    After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
    *Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
    Step 2
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Please take this step regardless of the results of Step 1.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2.

  • Adjustment brush in ACR slow

    I'm finding the adjustment brush to be slow to take affect. There is a delay between making the brush stroke and seeing the adjustment occur. It starts out with a short delay, but increases with each stroke to the point where it takes 6-10 seconds after the brush stroke for the adjustment to show.
    The delay occurs if Camera Raw is hosted by Bridge or by Photoshop. The delay is longer when Camera Raw is in full screen mode, but it is still quite slow when not in full screen mode. Photoshop Memory Usage was set at 65% then dropped to 50% with no change in the delay. Virus protection software was disabled.
    My system is a Dell Dimension 8300 Pentium 4, 2.80GHz with 2GB of RAM running Windows XP with Service Pack 3. The video card is a NVIDA GeForce FX 5200 with 128 MB memory. Old gear for sure, but I'm wondering if there is anything I can do to improve the performance of the adjustment brush short of buying a new computer. Would upgrading the video card improve performance?

    Hello
    As far as I can see, both the video and audio editing world are already using non destructive editing and the files can be huge for video, so Photoshop will evolve in that direction also.
    The operations in ACR are just mask overlays, which are not really that complex, even though the xmp are large, but in the most complex one I have been using, it is only 157kb.It is a vector layer, whose mathematical description is held in the xmp.
    A comparable 8 bit mask as a channel in Photoshop would be 12mb in a 36mb uncompressed image.
    It is also the reason why CS4 has so many types of adjustment layers and filter layers. That is exactly what a mask in ACR is acting as,in other words a local adjustment layer.
    Many years ago there was a very good application called Picture Publisher, that recorded all pixel and layer operations as an editable text file, on a low res copy of the main image. The final compilation was rendered using the same text file on the full size image. The main problem with that the application was not accurate enough.It had a rounding error, so in certain circumstances 1000 pixels turned into 999 pixels. This as you could imagine would make some truly amazing final images, but not quite what was intended.
    I am sure that ACR will evolve and have quite extensive masking operations. There is a requirement to be able run a slide show in Bridge, with all images corrected this way and without having to use Photoshop proper, one image at a time.
    Adobe might also finally conclude that Lightroom will be redundant
    I can wait!
