CS4 Redraw Issues

I am noticing that Photoshop seems to not redraw or refresh sometimes... seems to happen after I get several edits in. I will unhide or hide a layer, nothing happens on the canvas... I zoom in, then the change appears.
I am running on a mac pro (dual quad core xenon) 8gb ram, geforce 8800.
And before you blast me, yes, I have done all the tips in the performance thread.
I thought this may be an openGL issue, but when I disable that, same problem.
Again, this seems to happen after I get about 10-20 edits in... and my history is only set to 50. and the file I am working on is only about 20 layers.
Why do I get the feeling Adobe is really dropping the ball on the mac side of things???

I get a lot of the same redraw bugs too.
Sometimes it won't show the front most document when switching between open files.
Sometimes I have to zoom in and out to see changes. Sometimes hitting 'tab' and flicking the tools on and off gets it to work. Sometimes I just quit and try again.
I can't find a pattern to it, just happens now and again. Really breaks my stride.
Interestingly we are running virtually the same system notably the 8800 (mine's 'GT', whatever that means).
After all the nonsense with the VM Buffering plugin, did it do any good?

IMac 27" -Photoshop CS3/CS4 redraw issues- anyone else?

Hello Forum,
I am a pro photographer.
I do have the new 27", 3.06Gh, with 10.6.2.1
When I start up CS3 or CS4, open a picture at 100%,
and scroll within it, the borders show the "chess" pattern, and I have redraw issues.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank You

OK, sorry I didn´t follow this thread the last weeks.
This has to change now
I´m on 10.4.3.
It didn´t bring ANY improvement.
I have all updates installed, all firmware upgrades.
My videocard is the Radeon HD 4670.
Screen redraw is an absolute pain.
For example, if I have a lasso istalled, or work on a layer I see no refresh, or lagged, sometimes the picture reverts to a previous state, but only in displaying the data.Once I zoom in, I can force a correct display.

Screen redraw issues

Hi everyone
My new Macbook appears to have screen redraw issues (as I've mentioned in other posts). It often does not redraw the screen quickly or smoothly. It may redraw the screen in bands from the top, or the Dock may come up in jerks. Also, the cursor often freezes, especially when switching from one app. to another, or after performing a function in an app (e.g. Save, or Delete in Finder). Messing around with the keyboard or trying another function often unfreezes the cursor again. It's frustrating.
I think it's probably a compatibility issue, since quite a few of the applications I transferred over from my iBook are not yet available as fat binaries ("universal" binaries). Yet they seem to work OK. I'll post about that separately.
If anyone else has experienced screen redraw issues, I'd be interested to hear about them. This machine should run much faster than my iBook, not much more slowly.

Thanks again, Shawn. I wasn't sure whether to post all the problems as one mess, or separately so people could search for them separately. I decided on separately, in case they weren't related, but mentioned the other bits in each post in case they were.
I myself searched under all these problems, but had little success. I don't know if that's an artefact of the Search or not. I suppose it depends on things like using "frozen cursor" or "freezing cursor". I certainly found more posts related to my problems when I read all the forum posts for MacBook Users. It took quite a while, but was more productive than searching. I'd rather not have to spend quite as much time on finding data, though.
Thanks again.

Redraw issues when compile for Air

This is about redraw issues which occur in Flash, when I try to compile a file in Air 2.6. The initial files were built in inDesign CS5.5, saved as a FLA, and opened in Flash CS5.5.
I created a test file in inDesign to be used as an Air App, as I saw discussed and done on several videos on Adobe.tv. The file has 3 pages. The pages are pretty simple. Though there are some clipping paths and animation.
Here are the steps:
1.
I ported the filed to Flash, as a FLA.
2.
I opened the FLA in Flash, and added some more animation.
I added simple code so the file will go from frame to frame, (what were the pages in inDesisgn), on mouse click in the frame.
3.
If I complie it is Flash, it works.
4.
If I compile it in Air, which I want to do, when it gets to the last page, it starts to have redraw-issues.
When the user clicks on page/frame 3, (the last page), there is AS3 code, a gotoAndStop(), which normally takes the user back to frame 1. But in Air, the user gets to page one, but only sees page 3, thinking they are on page 3, as the redraw of page 1 never occurs. I tested this very carefully, by rebuilding the whole thing and removing every element and all code and starting over piece by piece to isolate the issue.
5.
The issue seems to be, if I remove all the pagespreads from inDesign, which the FLA transformed into "movieclips" in Flash, it works fine without redraw issues. If I add any of the pagespread movieclips to a frame in the Flash file, as they were when imported, the redraw issue occurs, but only when I compile in Air.
Have you heard of this before? I was wondering if there might be some settting in Air that is conflicting with the inDesign created pages which are now movieclips in Flash. I am hoping there is something that I can do to fix it, as I would like to continue to create the spreads in inDesign.
I am working on a PC in Windows Vista. I wondered if this was the issue as well. I can share the file if you want to see it, compiled in flash, and compiled in Air or the FLA.
Thanks very much,
e

I fixed it. it was not the code. it was the use of text. This time when exporting to an FLA from indesign, I turned the TLF text to pixels, and now it compiles fine. I isolated the problem by dismantling each item in the indesign spread, and seeing when the problem occured. once I removed the type, it had no issues. I was using hanging indents. Maybe that was the issue. All I know is once I turned off the TLF text option, there are no problems.It is sad to lose that feature. but at least it works, and I would rather have my type look well formatted with hanging intents, and correct kearning, even if i have to rasterize it first.
geez. that was fun.

Application redraw issue over Citrix and Terminal Server

Hi All,
We provide a client-server application which connects to a SQL Server database. The middle-tier is hosted on an application server (Windows Server 2008 R2) which in turn connects to the SQL Server database. The fat client can either be installed on user laptops/desktops
or published using Citix/Terminal services.
We have a long standing issue which frankly I just cannot fathom. A customer has published the client via Citrix to users and using roaming profiles. If an employee is using the application in London, the roaming profile is created on a server in London and
connects to the middle-tier in London. If an employee is using the application in Glasgow, the roaming profile is created in Edinburgh and the user connects to the middle-tier in London. The customer is also using DFS
The roaming profile consists of the 'My Documents', 'My Pictures', 'My Videos', 'My Music' and 'Windows' folder. Distributed File System (DFS) is used for roaming profile folder replication between offices. See http://technet.microsoft.com/en-gb/library/cc732863%28v=ws.10%29.aspx
The Edinburgh users are experiencing application redraw issue where the interface loads in chunks. For example, when a user scrolls up and down or left and right, the data loads immediately (from SQL Server) but the interface (GUI) loads in blocks. You can
actually see each segment of the GUI components loading. The issue also occurs if connecting via a Terminal Server where the application is also installed.
For London users, it all works fine. If an Edinburgh user comes to London, they have no issues.
The network connection is super fast between the various offices.
The application is built using C++ and Delphi and uses the GDI API to draw the objects.
Any guidance is appreciated.

Hello partner,
Thanks for contacting Microsoft. This is Sophia who is going to help with this issue. From your description, I learnt that users from Edinburgh have application redraw issue. However, London users worked fine. Please let me know if I misunderstand your purpose.
Based on the information, it seems that the issue located in the middle-tier in London. Could you try building a middle-tier in Edinburgh and then test how the issue goes?
Besides, based on my experience and research, by default the allocation of the bandwidth is 70 percent for graphics data and 30 percent for virtual channel data, meaning when bandwidth usage is under pressure, graphics data is guaranteed to get 70 percent
of the available bandwidth. And we can tweak the settings a bit for some scenarios. To change the settings, we can set registry values. Please reference the information below.
===========================================================================================================================================
Note: For these settings to take effect, the computer must be restarted.
Following is the list of registry values that affect the bandwidth allocation behavior. These are all DWORD values under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\TermDD:
·         FlowControlDisable: When set to 1, this value disables the new flow control algorithm, making it essentially First-In-First-Out (FIFO) for all packet requests. This provides results similar to Windows Server
2003. (The default for this value is 0).
·         FlowControlDisplayBandwidth / FlowControlChannelBandwidth: These two values together determine the bandwidth distribution between display and virtual channels. You can set these values in the range of 0–255.
For example, setting FlowControlDisplayBandwidth = 100 and FlowControlChannelBandwidth = 100 creates an equal bandwidth distribution between video and VCs. The default is 70 for FlowControlDisplayBandwidth and 30 for FlowControlChannelBandwidth, thus making
the default distribution equal to 70–30.
·         FlowControlChargePostCompression: If set to 1, this value bases the bandwidth allocation on post-compression bandwidth usage. The default for this value is 0, which means that the bandwidth distribution is applied
on pre-compressed data.
For more information about RDP Bandwidth, please reference the article below.

Dreamweaver CS4 strange issues happening

Suddenly when I do a find and replace and I do a carriage return in the replace portion of the find/replace window to make my edit go to an extra line, the carriage return occurs behind it on the page I'm editing. It doesn't add a <p> tag in the document, just kind of highlights what I have in the find window and each time I hit Enter the next instance of the what I'm trying to find gets highlighted.
Also, when I try to add <strong> tags to my document this appears on the page instead <strong>
What the hell?
I tried recreating my configuration folder (I'm on Windows Vista) but it still happens.
Any ideas??

Re :Re: Dreamweaver CS4 having issues after installing PS CS6 Beta
Just a thought ...
This may help!
Uninstall the Beta Version of Photoshop CS6 now and then restart your computer and see if that works.
Open the CS4 programs and see if that fixed the problem and it is all working as it should again.
It is worth a try!
All the best.

Photoshop cc redraw issues mac yosemite

having issues with mac yosemite, intel hd 4000 1024mb card, 16gb ram and 2.5 intel core i5 with photoshop cc 2014. it has redraw issues when you draw objects around the screen.. its jjittery and not smooth like it should be. i dont know why this is happening but would like to know when it will be fixed. it seems to only be happening on mac osx because i have bootcamp with windows 7 running on this same macbook pro and it runs perfectly fine on there. any ideas on whats going on and when this will be resolved?

A downgrade don't work for me. The Mac is brand new (3 Days old). Yosemite is the custom os. I think a downgrade is impossible.
I'm very disappointed about that, because i bought this machine just for Photoshop...

IDCS2 Screen Redraw issues

We're having screen redraw issues when panning and zooming pages. Getting screen anomolies and jittery display performance. It only happens when using InDesign, no other apps exhibit similar issues.
PC specs are:
WinXP Prop SP2
Dell Optiplex GX620, 2GB RAM
ATI Radeon X600, 256MB Video Card
Dual Dell 19" Flat Displays
Tried setting Display Performance slider in Prefs to middle setting and still getting redraw problems.
Is there a setting for the video card that might help?
Thanks,
-Danny

InDesign is known to have display issues with scrolling (white bars appearing where the edge of the screen used to be), although I don't believe I've ever seen it panning. As far as I know there is nothing you can do but grumble.
Not a lot of help, I'm afraid.

Redraw issues after FLA imported to Flash, and Compiled in Air

I created a test file in inDesign. It has 3 pages. The pages are pretty simple. Though there are some clipping paths and animation.
I ported the filed to Flash, as a FLA.
I added video in Flash, and some more animation.
I added code so the file will go from frame to frame, (what were the pages), on mouse click in the frame.

Just to update. this is relevant for inDesign users who want to port to Flash, and compile as an app in Air.
It turned out what was causing the problem was my use of the TLF text. Air did not like it and caused it to error and not function. I rasterized the text on export as a FLA instead, and it compiled fine. It may be my use of kearning, hanging indents, etc. I refined the text alot in inDesign, as would most designers. Maybe the samples used in testing never had hanging indents? Anyway, it works fine, as long as I rasterize. This loses the nice TLF editing function in Flash. But at least it works and the text looks good.
Any info on this, or if anyone reproduces the error, I'd be interested in hearing.

Dreamweaver CS4 having issues after installing PS CS6 Beta

Hi All,
I'm having issues with Dreamweaver CS4 after installing Photoshop CS6 Beta. I'm getting the follwing erros when trying to open any html file (see attached image).
Once I click OK, the file will open, also now; any copy and paste commands will not work. Anyone else experiencing any problems with other apps after installing this beta version?
Any help and feedback is much appreciated, thanks!

Screen redraw issues after update to 10.7.4

Anyone else seeing screen redraw issues since updating to 10.7.4? Suddenly, the zoom tool stops working or causes visual errors.

thank you FFS48, it really helped and might work fine as temporary solution. I was about to restore my OS from backup to 10.7.3 version... as booting from it made no errors. The latest 10.7.4 update filled my log filles with different error messages like:
2012-05-10 23:53:17,000 kernel: SMC::smcReadKeyAction ERROR PC2C kSMCBadArgumentError(0x89) fKeyHashTable=0x0xffffff8030d4f000
2012-05-10 23:53:17,000 kernel: SMC::smcReadKeyAction ERROR PD0R kSMCBadArgumentError(0x89) fKeyHashTable=0x0xffffff8030d4f000
2012-05-10 23:53:17,000 kernel: SMC::smcReadKeyAction ERROR PN1R kSMCBadArgumentError(0x89) fKeyHashTable=0x0xffffff8030d4f000
2012-05-10 23:53:17,000 kernel: SMC::smcReadKeyAction ERROR PG0C kSMCBadArgumentError(0x89) fKeyHashTable=0x0xffffff8030d4f000
which might be caused by iStatMenus as these log entries are allways next to iStat log entries.
I often need to access my Mac Pro using Back to my Mac from my MBP. Do you know will it still be possible having WiFi on MacPro off?
It is strange, that the latest update delivered more visible problems than benefits....
What I tried to solve the problem and that did not work:
- Disable WiFi sync on iTunes (after reading some forums discussing similar problem)
- Uninstalled Xcode (as some forums suggested)
It is some how related to WiFi and iOS devices that sync to that computer. Switching these iOS devices off - removes the problem, and I believe it should be reported to Apple.
Is there any URL to Apple bug submit form?

Safari 3.0.4 window redraw issues

I recently updated to 10.5.2 and Safari 3.0.4 (5523.15) on my MacBook Pro (15", 2.4GHz). Ever since the update, I'm having screen redraw issues in Safari where artifacts are left on the browser window while I attempt to scroll vertically through a web page.
After playing around, I have discovered that if I use the vertical scrollbar, everything works properly. But if I use the touchpad scrolling (ie. via dragging two fingers on the touchpad), the window scrolls but it does not redraw properly leaving multiple copies of sentences smearing into each other making the page unreadable. The only way to clear is to use the scrollbar to scroll up and down and force the browser to redraw those portions of the window.
Has anyone else seen this issue and know of any work arounds. Up until this point, I have gotten very used to using the touchpad scrolling and it worked fine until the 10.5.2 update after which I'm getting this smearing if I scroll using the touchpad. =(

I had the same problem not only in Safari but in Finder as well. Serious it was too. It appeared after installing the 10.5.2 update. I got the advise from my local Mac dealer to reset the System Management Controller (SMC). I did as he said and now it works just fine

Menu redraw issues

Lately, I'm having redraw issues with menus that seem to apear at random. To demonstrate:
http://img156.imageshack.us/img156/2931/screenahg.png
This time, menu from avant window navigator remained on screen, but it also happens with other applications menus. When I killed awn, te menu disapeard. It also disapears after some time by itself, but it varies. I know it's not a window manager issue, because I replaced metacity with openbox with no success, and openbox --restart when this occurs doesn't to anything.
Any ideas to fix this?

Same problem here:

Premiere Pro CS4 After Effects CS4 Redraw problem

Greetings. I can't quite figure out how to research this problem. I have included some pics to the
screen grabs to illustrate my point.
The problem is, I have a redraw problem with all Adobe programs that have a timeline in them. Flash, After Effects, Premiere Pro;
I am using a 8800GTS card with the latest drivers from nVidia's website.
As you can see I have multiple mouse images that remain on the screen when I scrube the time line ( in all adobe programs). There is also another really weird problem; when I open a quicktime movie with PPro CS4 open the audio runs at half speed or slower. When I close PPro the audio reverts back to normal speed?
I am using: Borris CC6 Boris 9.2 Boris Red 4.3, Genarts Sapphir Effects, Pixelan Spicmaster 2.5, and Hollywood FX 5 plugins.
Any light on the subject would help or if you could point me in the right direction I'll do the research.
Thanks for the help.
Jan

assuming the problem is only in adobe apps and not anything else right?
Hmm...
Well, you can try some of these things
trash the prefs and clean media cache, though I doubt it will help you in this case
try with a new project and see if the problem persists
uninstall ALL plugins and see if that corrects the issue (clearly HFX5 was never meant for CS4 at a minimum and I'm not a fan of old boris stuff - very buggy)
uninstall and reinstall the Adobe apps and see if that fixes the issue. If it does add back in CS4 compatible plugins only one at a time and see if the problem returns.
also what os are you using and how much memory do you have? could you be running out of memory on a 32bit os?

CS4 Redraw without OpenGL

Hi I just installed the CS4 Photoshop and have a major issue which makes it impossible for me to use cs4. I used to work with cs3 on the same machine and had not a single problem:
Even though I disabled the OpenGL Feature I have an about 100 pixel redraw when I use a brush. Everything else is fine! When I turn OpenGL on it gets even worse.
Is there any solution for this?
(Yes I already downloaded the latest drivers and downloaded the patch and resteted all settings)

I am running ps on a notebook with quiet good hardware:
2.4 Ghz Dual Core
3 Gb RAM
Nvidia GeForce 8600M GS 512 MB
Vista 32bit
I already switched from Aero to standard-style but again no changes.
Just to say it again: The problem is not OpenGL related. At least not in the first place. It also occurs when I disable OpenGL. And that is what botheres me!
