CS4 working with cannon raw (.CR2) extremely slow

Hello,
I am hopeing there is some one that can help me or point me in the right direction. I am useing Photoshop cs4 extended on a windows xp home edition. When I use CS4 to open a raw file from a canon 50D CS4 slows to a crawl, and by crawl I mean it freezes when I try to shift the photo in any direction. It stays frozen for as long as 30 to 45 seconds, then will adjust the photo. If I aply a corection such as brightness useing the adjustment brush. it can take 30 or more seconds before cs4 is ready to do anything. I noticed that it will max out my processor ( pentium 4 3.01 Ghz with hyperthreading ) for the 30 plus seconds it takes to get ready to do anything. I understand that my system is not the best, but I feel it should not be haveing the major problems that it does. I will include some more info to try and help any one that wishes to help. system: windows xp home with all the latest updates. Intel motherboard with intel 3.01 processor with hyperthreading. 2 gigs of PC 2700 ram. windows swap file and CS4 scratch file (cache) are on a second hard drive. 1st hard drive contains aplication files and most of the photos. both hard drives are defragmented on a weekly basis. I keep my system running with just the basic files for the operating system, and when online I only have a firewall running on top of the browser. I have upgraded cs4 with the latest updates. As I mentioned, I know my system is not state of the art, but feel it should do a lot better then it is. CS4 does pretty good when opening large .PSD files and does well with most actions etc. Thanks in advance for any help that is offered : )

Which was the culprit - Live Preflight or different network protocol?

CS4 Extended with Camera Raw Reinstalled on New Computer (old one died) will not open CR2.

I had CS4 Extended installed on an HP laptop that recently died. I have a Canon 5D Mark II and have been using camera raw with CR2's off of that camera for at least 2 years.
I still have the disks so I reinstalled the Photoshop on the new computer. Now I can't open CR2's. It says the file type is not correct. Same program, no freaky updates so why won't it recognize them?

The 5D Mark II was first supported in Camera Raw 5.2
Camera Raw plug-in | Supported cameras
CS4 shipped with Camera Raw 5.0 so by re-installing CS4 you've reverted to Camera Raw 5.0 which cannot read 5D Mark II Raw files.
Camera Raw-compatible Adobe applications
In CS4, click Help > Updates to re-install Camera Raw 5.7 and you can once again edit 5D Mark II Raw files.

Need help with cannon RAW photos

Please help- let my employee go and nearly 100 photos of my products were left on my hard drive, but I can not get them to open. They are somehow jacked up (show a different icon than they did). They have no previous version, and absolutely NOTHING I have tried to open them will work. Would someone be willing to test one to see if they can figgure it out? Or, has anyone fixed this problem before?

You are a genius! Now that I understand that those are support
files, and know what I am looking (at) and for- I found all the photos.
She left us in quite a mess- both with the photos and our web page so
thank you again for helping. Feel free to let me know if you need
anything in the future. I won't forget your help!

I have a Canon D60 camera, my raw files won't work with the raw converter in my Photoshop CS5. Do I need CS6?

Photoshop CS5 won't work with the raw files from my new Canon D60 camera. Do I need CS6?

A Canon EOS D60? It had support since Camera Raw version 1.0.

I need to work with the RAW files on a SONY RX100III camera. I use Photoshop CS5 and a Mac operating system OSX 10.6. Is there an Camera RAW upgrade or an alternative program that works here?

You don't. Since you have an Intel Mac, buy a Mac OS X 10.6 DVD from the online Apple Store.

Suddenly my imac with comcast internet with apple airport is extremly slow.

That model begin to be supported only in the very latest version of Lightroom, version 5.4. You will either need to upgrade Lightroom, or else use the latest version of the free Adobe DNG converter (version 8.4) to create digital negative copies of your raw images. Then you can import those DNG files into the Lightroom that you have now. The choice is yours.

I'm having same problem with my iPhone 4. Even after restoring twice. Simple tasks casue the phone to lock up and restart, which, thanks to iOS 7 takes much longer than with iOS 6.
I love my phone, but it is almost unsuable after update.

Does PS CS4 work with OSX 10.9?

Hi, really basic dumb question. Before I run out to buy a dvd drive for my new imac, does PS CS4 work with the OSX 10.9?

Weird. It's working on my Mid-2009 Macbook running 10.9.1
It must not have gotten the memo

Working with Cannon 5D Footage. Compress or Raw?

Just started working with both Cannon 5D Mark III and editing in Premiere. I know with FCP it was best to compress to Apple ProRes to work with files (even though they doubled in size). Any compression setting suggestions for working with 5D footage without a loss of quality and/or stuttering play back in Premiere?

You can work with the 5D footage natively in Premiere, if your hardware can keep up with the big demand on the CPU. I am on a MacPro 8 Core system, and I have no trouble playing back the H.264 from the 5D in full resolution on CS6. When I worked in CS5.5, I did have to transcode to ProRes first, since CS5.5 on the Mac did not play H.264 very well. Create a matched sequence by dropping a 5D clip on the "New Sequence" icon.
If you are on a slower machine, try reducing the playback resolution to get real-time playback, although that doesn't always work well with the high CPU intense material such as H.264. If all else fails, go back to your original workflow and transcode to ProRes and you will have no problem.
Good luck.

Deleting VM with snapshot/checkpoint is extremely slow in SCVMM 2012 R2

It appears deleting VM with checkpoint from SCVMM 2012 R2 is extremely slow.
There is the configuration:
one SCVMM 2012 R2 running on Windows Server 2012 R2
one Windows Server 2012 R2 as file share server (SMB), stores all VM files. The share is managed by SCVMM . uses local SSD disk. two gigabit ethernet ports connected to a switch.
two hyper-v hosts running Windows Server 2012 R2, non-clustered, managed by SCVMM, each hosts has three gigabit Ethernet ports connected to the switch.
Everthing works including live migration. Here is the problem:
When I deleted a VM with checkpoint, it appeared that SCVMM/Hyper-V merges something, it took a lot of time on reading each AVHDX and write to VHDX, this results two problems:
1. It took a lot of time and bandwidth. I am about to delete the VM (and all its files). Why SCVMM/Hyper-V wants to merge all files? The deletion took 29 minutes for a 36GB VM. This VM is just plain standalone VM, no usage of template.
The expected result is to just delete all VM files and remove VM, don't do merge. (BTW: VMWare doesn't do merge, the deletion is done in a few seconds))
2. although all data file are on the file share, the hyper-v host still reads each file from file share, then write to another file on the same file share. It consumes significant network bandwidth. Can they offload the work to file server?
The expected result is that Hyper-V offload the transfer to file share server. It should not create huge amount of network io.
3. The merging operation is incredibility slow. around 24MByte/sec data being copied.
The hyper-v has 2xgigabit links, benchmark shows the file share access can easily go 200Mbytes/sec, and the file server side is SSD drive with 200+MByte/sec bandwidth. The expected result is if hyper-v ever merge, the speed is least 100MByte/s and hopefully
go up to 200MByte/sec. 21MB/s is just painfully slow.
Did I miss anything?

Thanks for the info. Even there may be use cases where merge is necessary, there are plenty of use cases where merging is overkill -- can Hyper-V have a CLI option that deletes VM without doing merging?
If such option won't be available soon, can SCVMM do this on deleting a VM:
1. revert to the latest checkpoint, delete the checkpoint
2. repeat the step 1 until all checkpoint removed.
3. delete the VM.
This workaround avoids the Hyper-V's merging. It is not as clean as VMWare's (they just delete the VM files, no extra merge), but at least it is much faster and less resource consumption than merging.

Will CS4 work with my 1.6 GHz processor?

I want to buy Photoshop CS4 but I read that I need a minimum 1.8 GHz processor in my PC. My processor is 1.6GHz. What will happen if I try install it in my PC anyway? Will it work? If not, is it possible to upgrade my processor? If so, how much would that cost?

From what I understand, I need software that will allow me to read my RAW images in a browser to do what this other photographer was doing. I shoot with a Nikon D200 and a D300 so I need to know if Nikon's camera RAW images are compatible with CS3. If they are, I can go with the CS3 and not have to worry about whether or not CS4 will work with my system.
Different Nikons create different NEF files, requiring different versions of the Adobe Camera Raw plug-in.
I don't have the list handy but in any case I think you are going to be struggling processing raw files with that computer.
Here's the list:

Edit: So you need ACR 4.3 for the D300, which means Photoshop CS3 to run it. So forget CS4!
