CS6 photoshop is lagging but the rest of CS6 is not, i don't think hardware is the issue.

Hardware specs:
Processor: Intel® CoreT i7-4710MQ, 6MBL3 Cache, 2.5-3.5GHz
Memory: (8GB) 8192MB, PC3-12800/1600MHz DDR3 - 2 SO-DIMM
Graphics Card: NVIDIA Quadro® K1000M 2GB DDR3
Hard Drive: 500GB 2.5" SATA3 Hybrid w/ 4GB NAND Flash
Operating System: Microsoft® Windows® 8.1; 64-bit
All of photoshop is lagging for me but my biggest issue with it is the brushstroke lag. I really need this program to work for my commissions and classwork, and have done all the troubleshooting I can on my own. I'm willing to even downgrade to CS4 if necessary, but if i can get cs6 to work that would be preferred. does anyone have a solution for this?

System requirements | Photoshop
Under Edit > Preferences > Performance, how much memory is available to PS. What is your scratch disk space? Is Use Graphics Processor checked or un-checked?

I have a Windows copy of Photoshop Elements 11, but the serial number has been lost. I didn't buy the product and I am unable to find the box. As far as I know, it's never been used so has not been registered. Does anyone know how the serial number can be recovered under these circumstances?

If you never bought the product then you cannot get the serial number.

generally you need 1.90gb
what you can do is back up your phone to your computer before doing the update, just as a precaution.

I just installed Photoshop CC 2014, but Latest version of Bridge will not work when I want to open it from PS

Any idea why is Bridge latest version not working when trying to open it in Photoshop CC 2014 ? (French version) ? When trying, Creative Cloud app will open to ask if I want to download newest version, which I did numerous times now.
Thank you

Hi Eric,
Here's how a similar problem was resolved between PS and BR.
The issue was confirmed by ChunXiaYang at Adobe staff and solution put in the forum discussion on June 19 (no. 13). Here's a copy:
I have confirmed that this is a known issue before release. And the workaround is to uninstall and reinstall PS 2014. Then Bridge can be launched by selecting 'Browse in Bridge' in PS2014.
Please try the installation, and let me know whether it works. Thanks!
It woks just fine since I unistalled and reinstalled PS 2014.

I did this with a fresh install of the entire CC package. As soon as the CC packages updated, CC Bridge broke. Unistalled CC PS, reinstalled again, CC Bridge works, but CC PS updates itself again, and breaks CC Bridge.
You know... The whole move to CC has been a massive cluster... I've struggled with the CC packages for my entire subscription year, and now I'm 1.5 month away from needing to throw down another $720 for no reason what-so-ever, just so we can Beta test your really screwed up subscription services.

I don't understand how to fix this and I don't seem to understand where the problem is coming from.

Let's try the simple approach first. Restart your router. Any change?

I'd start with the following document, with one modification. At step 12 after typing GEARAspiWDM press the Enter/Return key once prior to clicking OK. (Pressing Return adds a carriage return in the field and is important.)
iTunes for Windows: "Registry settings" warning when opening iTunes

When I try to download applications such as Internet Explorer, Yugma, and iTunes in Firefox, I just get a window that says "save" or "cancel", but never one that says "run" so I don't think it's actually installing anything. It shows up in a "download" window, then the icon shows up on my desktop. When I click on it to launch it, it says "open with" and I get the same "save/cancel" window. It's a continuous circle. What am I doing wrong??
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== I don't know. I never downloaded apps through Firefox until all of a sudden Internet Explorer didn't work. ==
== User Agent ==
Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 8.0; Windows NT 5.1; Trident/4.0; .NET CLR 1.1.4322)

What application are you choosing to open the files with?
Because of how integrated it is with windows IE should work. If it's not working, something more widespread could be wrong with your computer that would also prevent other browsers from working properly. Of course we'd love you to stick with Firefox, but you should get help with IE, too.

Photoshop CS5 lags, but other programs run fine

I installed the CS5 Creative Suites onto my eMachines E525 latpop. It came with 2 GB of RAM but I upgraded it to 4 GB.
Harddrive is at 165GB free of 220GB.
Processor is Intel Celeron CPU 900 @ 2.20 GHz, 2194Mhz, 1 Core, 1 Logical Processor
All the other programs in the suite run fine. The only problem I'm having is with Photoshop. Whenever I use a tool, it lags. If I use any of the shape tool, as I drag it out, it lags. Same goes for the brush tool and any other tool that I use. Efficiency is at 100% whenever I have a document open, but the tools still drag. Even on a blank 500x500 document at 72 dpi lags.
I've looked through the Optimize Photoshop Perfomance page, and I've done all that I know I can do, and it still lags.
I turned off OpenGL Drawing, Let Photoshop use 2385MB (70%). I've changed it to let it use more, but that doesn't help.
I installed Photoshop, InDesign, Illustrator, Dreamweaver, and Flash Catalyst from the Suite.
I also have Norton 360.
Is Norton causing Photoshop to be slow or is it something else?
Is there anything I can do to fix the lag or do I need to make more upgrades to my laptop?

What display interface is in that laptop (e.g., a nVidia model, Intel model, etc.)?
The OpenGL implementation in the video driver can have a drastic effect on the performance. Have you tried the following as a diagnostic?
Edit - Preferences - Performance.
Uncheck [ ] Enable OpenGL Drawing.
Close and restart Photoshop.
If after doing the above you see the lag problem eliminated, you might want to check with your laptop maker (or in rare cases the video interface maker) to see if any updated display drivers have been released. Many OpenGL problems have been corrected in recent driver releases.
Make sure you re-enable OpenGL after changing drivers to see if the highest performance is now available to you.
You could also try keeping OpenGL enabled but going into the [Advanced Settings...] and changing to Basic mode.

Question about externally editing in Photoshop then saving but the files not showing up in catalog

When I am in Lightroom and I choose edit in Photoshop then I save the file, I would like the file to automatically show up in my Lightroom catalog. It shows up if I save as a tiff like I set up in my preferences, but not if I save as a jpeg. I would like for the jpegs to also show up in the catalog. Is this possible?
Thanks,
Jennifer

I found that if I do a <save> in Photoshop first (which saves a tiff or psd file, depending on the setting in Preferences), and THEN a <save as> to save as jpg, both files are automatically added to the catalog.
I do agree that if I just do a <save as>, without doing a <save> first, the <save as> file is not added to the catalog.
My workflow is good for me, because after developing a photo in LR, I then do further editing in PS, and then save the edited file as a tiff (or psd) at full pixel dimensions, with the edit layers. The next step is, if I need a jpg of that photo (for web or email), I flatten the file, reduce image size, convert to sRGB, etc., then save as a jpg. This way, I have the three files I always make/keep, and all three files end up in the LR catalog.
I agree that I could use the Export function in LR to generate the jpg instead, but 1) I'm too used to doing it right there in PS while I have the file open and 2) I can use all the tools in PS to do tweaks that the photo may need when converted to jpg.

Want to buy Photoshop Lightroom 4, but the tech specs ask for specific processors?

Hi all,
I'm thinking of buying product listed in question, but the tech specs for it says that I need either "Intel® Pentium® 4 or AMD Athlon® 64 processor", but I have intel inside core i5 processor.
Will Photoshop still work, or are the processors listed on the tech specs just the best processors for it?
Thanks.

Those are minimum specs. Your i5 based machine should be fine.

Edge Animate constantly lagging but the other Adobe applications are not

This is the same problem as in the post : http://forums.adobe.com/message/5740804#5740804
But the only difference is that one is resolved but mine cannot be with the solution described. The solution to the edge animate lagging, as in the above post, is within the proxy server settings. But after talking to my ISP. I found out that the internet service they are provinding doesn't work on proxy servers. They said if i put any proxy server value then the internet will stop working. So, i cannot apply the solution described in the above post. I have tried restoring the preferences to default. Nothing works. So, what do i do now?
I am using Windows 8 Pro (64 Bit).

I am having another problem. I think it may have some connections.

HT1199 Hi. I've got an issue with Pages running on Mavericks on Macbook air. Every time I open the app it hangs right there and I can't do anything on it. I've uninstall and install it back again but the issue still persists. Any help please?

HI. I've got an issue with Pages running on Mavericks. Everytime I open it up it just hangs right there and I can't do anything with it. I've deleted the app and installed it back again but the problem sitll persists. Any help please?

Thank you so much for helping,
But i really wonder how you did that. did you always switch between design view and preview view, then change the key position for 2px then switch back, to align the four letters? because i imagine that can get really frustrating, if you have a logo consisting of 58 parts instead of 4!:)
Anyway thank you very much for your time and effort!!!!

I purchased and downloaded Photoshop Elements 13, but the installer fails to initialise. How do I get it to work?

I have Photoshop Elements 10 and Premier Elements 10 installed on my PC. Both were installed from discs that I bought a few years ago. I recently purchased the upgrade (by download) for both applications to version 13. In accordance with the (scant) instructions received by email, I downloaded the four files required from the Adobe site. I subsequently ran the .exe files, which in turn created directories on my PC, including set-up.exe files for both applications. When I run the setup files, I get an error message stating that the installer failed to initialise. The error message advised me to download the Adobe Support Advisor to detect the problem. That tool does not exist. I then sought assistance from the Abobe support site, initially using the hyperlink suggestions, which were of no use, then using the chat function. The operator kept trying to get me to do something with something called 'Creative Cloud'; which I am not familiar with, and do not use. He then instructed me to download and run a CS5 cleaner tool; however, none of the choices offered by that tool include my issue, or either Photoshop Elements or Premier Elements. I am reluctant to uninstall version 10 of the programs in case I end up losing the lot and therefore wasting even more money than the purchase price for this upgrade.
All I want to do is upgrade my two applications from version 10 to version 13. I have paid the requisite fee but it clearly does not work. I appear to have totally wasted my money. Can anyone please tell me how to get it to work? I do not want to have anything to do with the so-called ‘Creative Cloud’ as I have no idea what it is, and I do not want to lose what I already have (and have paid for previously).
I have tried for a few days to access the so-called 24/7 chat assistance but appeared to have been locked out as every time I try to access it, I get a message that the (24/7) chat is closed. Adobe has taken my money for a product that does not work, and also refuse to help me fix it.
I am very frustrated with a product I bought that does not work, and a 24/7 support service that clearly is not 24/7, and which refuses to assist me. Can anyone PLEASE tell me how to get this to work? Rod.

Hi,
Can you please share the logs?
You can use the Adobe Log Collector tool (Log Collector Tool) and share the corresponding zip file @ [email protected]
