CS6 dead slow moving layers and groups

I have this brand new PC, got it last week, i7 core, SSD drive, 16gb ram.
When I open my PSD doc with my design (approx 43mb psd file) then the photoshop application spikes in memory usage, to 3.5gb (from 120mb), and moving groups and layers around is DEAD SLOW, horrible lag.
I had CS3 on my previous PC, which was Core2 Duo with 4gb ram, and the speeds there were similar on the same psd document.
I've also tried CS5.1 on a similar PC hardware specs as my new PC, and moving groups and layers around is much faster.
Is it just CS6? Why is this so slow?

Wow, that was kind of an over the top response...
Many of the files I'm using were made in CS4 and didn't have this problem. I updated to CS6 about a month ago. The same files, that worked perfectly in CS4 are having this issue in CS6. It's not about the files - it's about CS6.
Maybe I worded my post wrong. The point I was trying to make is - something is wrong in SC6 Photoshop that's not unique to me or my files. A lot of other people I know complain of the same thing.
I was trying to highlight that this is an unaccepatble issue for software at this cost. And that it's a really, really big deal. What is more fundamental than moving layers?
From the volume of posts I see and the lack of an actual solution, my assumption is that there is not one and that this is a program flaw. I hope Adobe can adress this in an update soon.
If that is wrong and there is a true "solve", please advise.
On a side note. I'm an Creative Director doing web based work. The files are 72dpi. And this issue occurs when dragging / moving simple layers. They are not huge files or items that require substantial redraw.

Reviewing Slow moving material and sign off

In our industry there is a lot of engineering type spares that don't move for 5 years + so everytime MC46 report is run these material are always at the top. We use MC46 report to give to the engineers to review the materials but they are sick of going over the same list and ticking them off to keep. Does anyone else have this problem?
I am looking at a way to ID those materials so they don't show up in the MC46 report so the engineers only get a recent (2 year no movement) report that can be actioned. Is there a way to add a "Review date" to the plant level of a material master and include the engineers username so we know who reviewed the material. We can then exclude these materials from MC46 to minimise the list.
The other option I was looking at was creating an new movement type called "Material review" and actually consuming and returning the material so it resets MC46.
Any comment to my problem please?

Your movement type idea could work but going forward it creates a false picture.
You could create a series of special ABC indicators and use these to classify the super slow moving items and set a review year (OK if they're that slow moving ?)
For example:
D - review in 2012
E - review in 2013
F - review in 2014
Another way to do it, a lot more intensive depending on the number of materials but gives you exactly what you want would be to create a prime variant, with super slow moving materials excluded and a series of balancing variants for these materials per individual e.g. description = Joe Bloggs - review May 2011.
I think the ABC indicator gives you a broad brush, low maintenance, effective method.

Losing layers and groups when opening CC in CS6

If CC is a TRIAL program, why would you allow it to blow away layers and groupings when the doc is reopened in CS6? No I have to resinstall CC, open the doc, save it back down to CS6, and PRAY that the layers and groupings are intact. What a waste of my time.

bonnober,
You should always save to the lower version from the higher version.
Whatever is new or different is simply absent from the lower version, so it will be missing or (mis)represented in whichever way is possible.
Fundamentally, the trial version is identical to the paid version.

Moving layers and adjusting perspective

Hi there,
I am wondering if it is possible to move each layer to that
they do not overlap. I also want to be able to move the layer in 3D
like in after effects. the reason is I want to have each layer
represent each face of a 3D cube.
For instance. A cube as 3 visible faces so there are 3
layers. Is it possible to move layers around like that and adjust
their perspective?

Wow, that was kind of an over the top response...

Moving layers into Group

I am a web designer and have created a script that puts a browser UI around a Photoshop document. The action places several images and creates several text layers. What I want to do is place all the images then add them into a group called "BROWSER". I can do this and it works fine in CS3, but it fails to select all the layers in CS4 and CS5.
I have tried several methods which all work in CS3, but not 4 and 5. I have selected the top layer, held shift and selected the bottom layer "Add Continuous", I have selected them individually with the "Add" modification (holding down the command). After I create the selection, I try and "Make Group from layers", however, in CS4 and 5 it only places the last layer in the folder.
I have also tried creating the Group folder, naming it and moving the individual layers into the folder. The problem here is that when moving, PS uses the layer number instead of the layer name! For instance, I have a layer call "Page Title", when using the move command it uses it's raw layer number "layer 16" or whatever.
So sorry for the wall of text. Can anyone offer any insight? I am downloading the trial of CS5 to see if that makes a difference.

Are all the layers visible?? I just tried recording an action in CS5 and had no problem. I create a new document white background layer and added 6 layers. I targeted the middle layer and then recorded this action
Alt+, (Target bottom visible layer in this case the background)
Alt+] (Target next visible layer up in the stack in this Layer 1)
Shift+Alt+. (Select continuously up the stack to the upper most visible layer 6 layers with there visibility off between will also be selected)
menu Layers>New>Group From Layers (Create new group named it test and the layers were collapsed into the new group named test)
stopped recording
I then went back into the history palette to before the group was created where I had the 7 layers. I played the action and it worked. Went back in time again and added layers till I had 100 layers on top of the background layers. I turned the visibility of some layers off. As long as the background layer and the layer above it as well as the Top layer visibility was on the action worked. All bets are off it the visibility of any or those three layers are off. The Action will fail.

Slow Moving Customers and BW authorizations.

Hello All,
Am writing a writing a query to track slow moving customers. We are a multi-national company and have enabled authorizations on the following 3 characteristics: Country, Region (East,West & Central) and Districts ( Buckeye, Los Angeles, Ozark etc)
I am using a MP which consists of 0CUSTOMER for the Customer Master and a Custom cube, 'Sales'. The cube has all the 3 characteristics. 0CUSTOMER only has 0SALESDIST and ZSALES_AREA.
When the query is executed by a user, because of the setting in 0ROWCOUNT, the OLAP engine ignores all filter settings, and searches the entire cube for data. When it encounters a record for which the user does not have the appropriate authorizations, it displays an authorization error message and returns back with no data. It does not show the data for which the user is authorized.
Is there a way to fix this ?
Is there way to execute a query that has all the authorizations from a another query that only has a subset of the authorizations ?
Thanks in advance.
Dorothy.

Hi Dorothy,
<i><b>I see here its more related to Multiprovider issue rather than authorization issue.</b></i>
In case of multiprovider , one should make sure that restriction of variables are only defined on fields common ie. 0Customer in this case.
In case you want to apply filters which are based on non-common info object then it should be restricted in the key figure part and not general query part.
For more input run a query through RSRT -> Query -> Execute + Debug -> Multiprovider Explain . This will show detailed report of which data target is accessed and which data target is excluded and for what reason.
I hope 0SALESDIST and ZSALES_AREA info objects are not restricted in the query filter/rows/free charc. part, it should be restricted on "Restricted key figure Part"
Hope that helps.
Regards

Bridge CS6 - extremely slow preview updates and image deleting

1. Updating previews (100%) is very slow.
Bridge CS6 has problems updating the previews of images that get edited.
While creating preview from scratch is rather swift, updating previews takes about six minutes on a MacBook Pro retina with 16Gb RAM.
After one minute the preview gets updated, but then the busy signal in the low left corner just keeps turning and turning for five more minutes.
Why is this happening? Is Bridge still busy with those previews? Why? The preview has already been updated, why those extra five minutes of business?
2. Image deleting is painfully slow.
You type Command + Delete, and nothing is happening for five, six seconds.
Only then the images get deleted.
Has anybody else noticed these two hold-ups?
Edit:
I just went back after writing and editing this post, and Bridge is still busy with the preview update. This is now 15 minutes after the image had been edited. The busy signal in the lower left corner just never turns off again.
It feels like Bridge has also problems working in the background. As soon as you open e.g. a browser to bridge the waiting for bridge, Bridge seems to keep the busy signal rotating, but not actually doing anything until you close the browser again. Which is why I just had a 15 minute wait for an image preview to finally update. The time spent in the browser did not "count".

Hi Noel,
Yes, I did the upgrade, and I did not experience any problems.
Only, the issues above were not fixed in the update.
Are you not experiencing the same issues? (I'm on a Mac).
C. Pfaffenbichler, I was actually looking for a dedicated Bridge forum, but I couldn't see a Bridge icon.

Photoshop cs6 crashes when moving dialogs and windows

So recently, Photoshop has started randomly crashing when moving dialogs around or onto 2nd monitor. The files I have open are not large, so I am looking to understand why this is happening. has anyone else experienced this with their application?
Thanks

It might be helpful if you'd go into your Windows Event Logs (specifically, the Application log) and look for the Error event indicating a Photoshop crash. It may identify a module that will help narrow down the problem - though I suspect it will show a crash in the printer driver. Copy the text and list it here.

Moving a layer group should not incure a performance hit (init a set of layers vs recursive)

I have finally taken the time to understand the behavior of the slughish performance of moving layer groups.
On my computer in CS6:
1. If I have just 2 layers in a layer group. Selecting both of them and ctrl-dragging them around is smooth and responsive.
2. If you have however select the layer group which contains just these 2 layers, the performance is obviously and terribly impacted. The drag is slow and choppy. With just 2 it is unbearable with regards to workflow but with a large layer group the performance it is utterly unusable. I am now looking to test what occurs in older versions.
I am a programmer. Not only that, I am a programmer who regularly targets 16 milliseconds on the scene and model graph. Learn to code and learn to program with hitting a 16ms user experience. That means abstraction culling to perform a minimum number of operations for a feature vs inertia, not the logically beautiful and sound abstractions we all would love to have on infinite computation. That's the reality of performance optimization. Performance optimization should be refered to as abstraction culling because that's what it is.
It should not make any logical difference how a set of layers is initilized for a transform. Please initialize the arrayed set of layers from the hierarchy of groups instead of executing your obviously flawed and unoptimized recursive routine.

I'm just not seeing a difference in performance between dragging a single layer around, multiple individually selected layers together, or a whole group of layers (where the group is what's selected in the Layers panel).
I tested on both Photoshop CS6 and CC. I'm on Windows 8.1. And I can honestly say I've never seen the layers panel scroll slowly.
That's not to say I'm seeing instantaneous, smooth moves of layer data - with a sufficiently large image, the update rate goes down to where the frame rate of moving things is quite visible - e.g., 4 or 5 frames per second - but that's still interactive, and it has always been like this with Photoshop as far back as I can remember. If anything, moving data around has gotten a bit snappier in Photoshop CC.
You may well have something specific going wrong on your system, or with your particular document.
Why not post a copy of a specific test image on which you can reproduce the issue, and that you'd like others to test with. I'll be happy to drag layers and groups around in it and report back.
That reminds me, I need to get software installed to capture my desktop as a video, as I need to make a training video soon.

Depreciation of Slow Moving Materials (MRN2)

Dear all,
I'm currently analyzing the way to create a custom report formed by two sheets:
1. Report with slow moving materials and with the correspondet devaluated value
2. Repot that show the overstock of the materials
Regaring point 1, I've found transaction MRN2 and it seems ok, but there is no possibility to input the stogare location, do you know if there is a way to do it or customize it ?
Thanks and Regards,
Fabrizio

Active Directory Migration Tool Moving Users before groups?

How are permissions to resources granted? By user or by group?
It's been so long I can't actually remember, but I think we moved users and groups together.
The SIDs will change if things are moving to a new domain. But the migration tool handles that for you.

What are the draw backs of migration users before groups in a interdomain migration? if any

After WAAS deployment network is dead slow

Hi All
After deploying WAAS , i.e. WAE-302 module in Cisco 2811 Router on core and edge with default setting and running wccp on the router , network is dead slow .
Core and edge network are connected with dedicated 2MB lease line.
License is Transport.
I can see traffic optimizing on WAE core and Edge but netwrok is dead slow.
Any suggestions.
Regards

What was changed on the routers during this implementation? Only configuring the module, enabling wccp 61/62 and enabling redirection on the LAN/WAN interfaces?
Were additional routes added? Is it possible a routing loop was introduced? Do you see a reasonable number of connections on the WAEs?
I suggest looking at the following to see if any problems are indicated:
On the routers:
show ip wccp - should see most packets redirected via CEF
On the WAEs:
show wccp gre - look for any high counters that don't look right
type-tail syslog.txt 50 - look for messages indicating possible problems

Wrong selection of number of processor in advanced boot option. system became dead slow.

hello sir,
i have acer aspire v3-571g laptop with windows 8.1 x64 based OS. Processor is Intel Core i5.
To get a faster booting, i selected 2 processor instead of 1 in advanced boot option (msconfig) by mistake and now my laptop become dead slow on booting and startup.
I am in a big headache now...
Please help a hand to solve this issue...
Thank you..

Nishaf
Cross posted on Microsoft community. Like I told you there go back into msconfig and select one processor. I dont suspect that either change is responsible for the slowness. Did you do anything else?

Report on Dead stock and Slow moving stock

Hi ,
On of my cleints requirement is to see the list of Dead stock and slow moving stock
I tried T.COde Mc50 and MC46 but I could not understand the report fully
In case of T.code MC50(dead stock) the input criteria for the report is just Plant,Pur org and Sales Org.
How does system identify an item as dead stock.
Is there any setting to define an item as dead stock before running report MC50?
In case of slow moving stock ,i want to see all the material for which no posting
happened for 60 days.In this case what value I need to select in T.Code MC46
Thx in advance
Deva

Hi,
While using MC46 report under Scope of ranking list, select the No. of days up to last consumption as 60 days.
And execute with the other selection parameters.

Dead stock and slow moving material

Hello,
I need to find out how to get dead stock and slow moving materail manually from tables.(instead of using MC46, & MC50).
Could you please tell me the logic and tables needed to retrieve this data.
regards
Gaurav Maini

use table mseg and mver
logic is calculation of frequency of movements
