Indesign CS4 really slow with CMYK images

Can anyone help me solve this? InDesign CS4 document with a few pages, and approx 24 images on a page. With CMYK images imported the rendering and re-rending is very sluggish. The Processes shows 99% usage for InDesign. Makes it almost impossible to work on a document.
Any ideas to fix this?
I'm using an 27" iMac with 2.8 GHz Intel Core i7 - Memory: 8GB 1067 MHz DDR3

Doesn't surprise me. I find getting help in Adobe forums/support/community very confusing to find my way around.

PB Displacement filter really slow with big images

hello;
     I am trying to make a Pixel bender displacement filter that will handle displacements bigger than 128 pixels, for flash. Right now flash only uses one 8 bit color channel to represent a displacement, which can not be bigger than 128 pixels. I am trying to make a pixel bender kernel that will take 3 color channels( 24 bit) as a displacement, which should be able to handle displacements as big as 8388608. That is obviously bigger than I need.
     The problem i am finding is that when the image or the displacement maps are too big it runs really slow. With images the size 3072x768, it runs at 3 frames per second on an intel based mac.
     The question is , does anybody know how to optimise this code?
the code:
<languageVersion : 1.0;>

I am adding a shader to the filter attribute of a Flex Video Player
code: something like this
[Embed(source="displ24test.pbj" , mimeType="application/octet-stream")]
protected var displacer:Class;
var shader:Shader;
public function init():void
shader = new Shader( new displacer() );
shader.data.src.input = src;
shader.data.mapX.input = mapX;
shader.data.mapY.input = mapY;
shader.data.scale.value = [ scale ];
shader.data.offsetX.value = [ offsetX ];
shader.data.offsetY.value = [ offsetY ];
shader.data.zoom.value = [ zoom];
_mov.filters = [ new ShaderFilter( shader) ];
then in flex:
<s:VideoPlayer x="10" y="10" source="df_retro5_1k_sound.mov" id="_mov" autoPlay="true"/>

I have iMac and need a good photo editing program to use. Reviews say aperture runs really slow with Lion, any suggestions?

I need a program where I can remove objects and touch up dead grass, etc.

Reviews say Aperture runs really slow with Lion, any suggestions?
To add on to Corky02 answer:
The recent Aperture release AP 3.3.x is very efficient, both on Lion and Mountain Lion. But you need a decent hardware to support it. The older Macs will have problems with the storage and CPU requirements. For good performance on large raw images plenty of RAM is important, at least 4GB, but 8GB would be much better, and your library should be on a fast disk, preferably on an internal drive. And don't let the system drive get too full.
Many reports about Aperture being slow are due to putting the Aperture library onto slow disks or acessing the original image files over the network, insufficient RAM, or corrupted or ill-designedAperture databases.
Aperture excels at all kinds of image processing that can be considered image developement - raw processing and color/lighting adjustments, but does not do compositing. If you are shooting raw and want professional image developement I'd recommend to do this in Aperture and not in iPhoto - you will have much more control over this in Aperture (after a steep learning curve). You can also repair and retouch the image to correct minor blamishes. For graphics compositing and inpainting you can set up an external editor and send your images from Aperture to this external editor - any of the editors Corky recommended would be o.k. for this.
To see, if you will want the advanced image processing in Aperture or the easy to use, more basic options in iPhoro will be sufficient to you have a look at the Aperture User manual, or the tutorial on the support page: Aperture Support
But Aperture is a professional apllication, not "plug and play". You should only consider it, if you are willing to spend some time on learning to use it properly and are willing to work your way through the manual.

My 3GS on iOS5 seems to be really slow with text messages

My 3GS on iOS5 seems to be really slow with text messages, any one else have this problem?

Sometimes I think I don't get told about a message until I unlock my phone and when I do I get a notification and a text tone as I unlock and it can be off a conversation I was having 10/15 minutes ago.

CS4 Really slow all of a sudden!

I am really struggling to work at any reasonable speed with InDesign CS4. It has been fine ever since I got it, but all of a sudden it is crawling along and it is driving me mad. I have tried using fast display, but not good.
I am running a Mac with OSX 10.5.6, Dual 2.66 Intel, and 11 gig of RAM.
Any ideas as to why InDesign is running slow? Everything else seems to be running fine.
Thanks
Mat

Thanks for the suggestions, they sort of have an affect, but, it all starts going pear shaped after about an hour or so.
I have switched off the preflight, colours panel and the auto correct for spelling which seem to make it last that bit longer before it starts to drag its heels, but I am finding that I am basically having to quit a couple of times a day, and also having to restart more often than I like.
To be honest, I am finding it to be a little unstable, is anybody else? The same with photoshop too...

InDesign CS4 very slow on a Mac

Hello!
I'm using ID CS4 on an iMac with 2,4 GHz Core 2 Duo, 4 GB RAM. I'm writing my thesis in InDesign, so I have basically one big textframe per chapter in which all the text goes. My problem is, that InDesign is getting really slow when I type text, also in the story editor. There is a delay of around 3 seconds between typing and the appearance of the word in the document. During this delay, the CPU usage raises to almost 100 percent. I circumvent this problem by writing in a plain text editor and C&P it into InDesign, but since I have to make corrections here and there, it really drives me nuts.
Are there any means of speeding this up?
Thank You very much!
Till

Peter:
I have tried and tried to post on the forums again. Signed in with 2 different names (don't ask!) and still can't get a new topic button. Here is my issue:
I have a large scale file (several) that I'm working with. It is 60" x 210". The file made in ID is fine, but I am having a hard time making a proofing PDF. Tried Distilling, directly from the app (export), and making them into eps and opening them in Acrobat to create a 4 page file. All ways cropped the files.
Do you by chance have a tip??? Please?!!
And I figured out my loading of the application problem. It was so strange and many steps:
1. Install software
2. If you get a "licesnse expired" notice the...
3. Change the date on your computer to Dec. 20, 2008 (it's stated differently in the Adobe info, but the phone support stated this date).
4. Launch the app or any of the CS apps if you've loaded more.
5. Go to HELP> Deactivate>Erase my serial number.
6. Close the program.
7. Open each application.
7. Change the date back to today's date on your computer.
8. The products should all launch correctly!

InDesign CS4 painfully slow in W7 64 bit

Hi
I've been having real trouble with Adobe products since doing a clean install of W7 Pro 64 bit, which seems (perhaps) to be related to antivirus software. Simple stuff like importing a pic can take a minute - even if it is simple 1MB jpeg. Adjusting the tracking of a font in 1em increments allows me to do maybe 5 increments, then it has to stop for 30 seconds for a think, before continuing. It makes the software all but unusable. Interestingly, Quark 8 seems to work fine.....
Some actions are instant, some are really slow, there's no discernable pattern.
I started my new machine with Kaspersky 2010 AV, which made DW unusable, so I removed that and replaced it with Norton 360, which improved DW but knackered various other programmes including Indy, so I removed that and installed Microsoft Security Essentials. Initially everything ran ok, but over a few weeks Indy got slower and slower, until it is now unusable. So I really don't know whether it is the AV software doing this or not.
My PC is a Core i7 machine with 6 GB RAM and a new ATi graphics card & SSD, so it should be very fast. But in real world use, all adobe products are running much less well that they did on a three year old Intel Core Duo pc with 4 GB ram and Vista Ultimate 32 bit.
Has anyone out there had similar problems and is there a fix?
Here's hoping....
TP

Hi all
Thanks for all your contributions.
My W7 install was clean onto a brand new machine. The CS4 premium installer put everything where it wanted to, I didn't interfere. So PS is in the 64 bit apps, the rest are in 32 bit, all on the c drive which is a 250GB SSD. I only keep Windows and apps on that drive, so it has over 170GB free.
All docs are on my D drive, which is an internal SATA 2 drive, this includes all the images as well. That's a 1TB Hitachi 7200 rpm disk, so should be fine.
It is on an ethernet network, but it isn't accessing anything from within Indy over the network.
The weird thing is that initially after I installed MSE as my AV, everything seemed fine. But over the last 6 weeks it's just got progressively slower.
It's baffling......

Premiere PRO CS4 really slow when playing back AVCHD

Hi,
I'm trying to edit some AVCHD (full HD 1920x1080p) but the playback in Premiere PRO CS4 is really really slow. The quality is set to Draft and even resizing the window to 25% keeps it slow.
So I decided to give it a try upgrading my computer. But... what should I upgrade to improve playback and edit my videos smoothly?
I have this PC specifications
- DualCore AMD Athlon 64X2 6000+ (3.0 GHz)
- 2 GB RAM DDR2-800 (Kingston)
- 1 TB WesternDigital 7200 rpm Hard Drive
- nVidia GeForce 9800 GT (1 GB Ram)
Any recommendations would be appreciated.
Thanks

I need to admint that I made a huge mistake when I got the HD camera in my hands and I started shooting and watching it on a HDTV and it was nicely recorded. But oh surprise!, when I tried to watch it and edit it on my computer it was a nightmare.
Yes, that was what I was alluding to earlier on. It seems to be a good format, but requires an investment in gear to smoothly edit it. I almost feel that there should be a warning label on all cameras, that use it. At least it IS editable, unlike some other formats.
what a nice I/O sub-system article there, thanks for that
I agree, and that is why I try to tell Harm "thank you," whenever I can. He actually did three along the same lines. This was #1, IIRC, with a more generalized followup on the hardware beyond the I/O, and #3 was his setup details for 64-bit OS. All three are well worth reading. He put a lot of time, thought and effort into those. First thing that I did was publish links to each on several Video production fora.
Good luck, and please let us know how your new rig handles the AVCHD material. Before you get too far into things, Harm's other two articles might be of use too.

Indesign CS4 colour issues with Onyx 7.3 RIP

Hi all. I understand that Onyx Production house and postershop are having problems with colours dropping to white or changing to a completely different colour when sent from Indesign CS4 or a PDF created from the programme. I want to swap to indesign completely, but find myself having to go back to Quark, because the results I get in the rip from indesign files are so random. Has anyone found a solid work around?
Thanks in advance for your help

InDesign can often send more complex postscript than the other apps, it is after all, dealing with a lot more types of information all at the same time. The problem comes in when ID invokes a part of the Postscript standard that hasn't been properly implemented in the RIP.
As you've seen, a workaround that commonly is successful is to export, or even print, to PDF, and sned tot he RIP from Acrobat.

Indesign CS4 Very Slow - can move objects easily anymore!

We are running CS4 - Even the most simple files are difficult open. When opened, it is hard to move objects or type any characters. All we get is the Apple pinwheel. We are running OS x 10.5 with 4 GB of memory. We dont know what to do-please advise.

I use CS4, mostly InDesign and Photoshop. I recently upgraded my iMac from 1 GB to 3GB of RAM, and everything was awesomely fast. CS4 worked well. Then I updated my system from 10.6.1 to 10.6.2, and immediately both InDesign & Photoshop developed a pause approx. every 5 seconds. No matter what I’m doing within either program, no matter how large or small the file, no matter how many or few applications I have open, I still get the very same beachball-spinning pause with every little thing I try to do, always. It’s very frustrating, I am having a lot of trouble getting any work done. The performance is way worse with 3 GB RAM than it was with just 1!
I am not having this problem with the rest of my applications within my system, such as Mail and Safari, and I haven't really noticed it with Acrobat. It does seem that the update caused this with CS4. I've tried a couple of things, such as zapping the PRAM and closing a bunch of fonts but nothing has made the slightest difference.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Cissy

My macbook is running really slow with most apps crashing

Hello everyone,
so recently my MacBook pro (mid 2012) is running incredibly slow, it's been a couple of weeks now and I don't really know what's going on, since it's always been pretty fast I've never had much issues until now.
Thank you very much!!

Indesign CS4 adds square boxes around images when exporting to PDF

When I export a brochure created in InDesign to PDF, for some reason the .pdf file (only the PDF - the InDesign version doesn't show these) shows faint squares around images/graphics that have shadow effects applied. These appear around photos, as well as graphic objects that have a solid colour background, for example an orange circle. Some suggested rasterizing images in Illustrator and that didn't help. Transparency doesn't seem to be at fault either. Would anyone have any idea what may be causing this and how to remedy the problem?
FYI, the PDF export pre-sets in InDesign are as follows (I only mention options that are checked, the rest are turned off):
COMPATIBILITY: Acrobat 5 (PDF 1.4)
GENERAL:
     HIGH QUALITY PRINT (modified)
     Export Layers:Visible & Printable Layers
COMPRESSION:
     COLOR IMAGES:
     Bicubis Downsampling to 300 pixels per inch for images above 450 pixels per inch
     Compression: Automatic JPEG
     Image Quality: Maximum
GRAYSCALE IMAGES:
     Bicubis Downsampling to 300 pixels per inch for images above 450 pixels per inch
     Compression: Automatic JPEG
     Image Quality: Maximum
MONOCHROME IMAGES:
     Bicubis Downsampling to 1200 pixels per inch for images above 1800 pixels per inch
     Compression: Automatic JPEG
     Compression: CCITT Group 4
FYI - I use Mac OSX 10.5.8 and InDesign 6.0.3.
I have attached the PDF for your review.
With many thanks,
Alex

BTW, don't use OSX's preview to look at PDFs created by InDesign if they take advantage of high end features such as live transparency.
Preview simply isn't up to the task and you should be using Acrobat or Reader.

InDesign CS4 running slow

InDesign CS 4 (version 6.0.6) runs intermittently slow. It will often hang up for a few seconds during pretty much any operation (typing, scrolling, zooming, selecting -- type or objects, etc.). Restarting InDesign and the computer has no effect. Any ideas?
It's running on an iMac, Intel Core 2 Duo 2.4GHz, OSX 10.6.8.

Pretty much all files, as far as I know. This is a computer at an office I work at. My own version of ID CS4 at home doesn't have this problem. Since posting, I saw a number of other postings about similar problems. I have yet to do any of general maintenance, such as repairing permissions or running disk 1st aid. Is that a first step? Is there some kind of cache in ID that can be cleared?

First Ajax request really slow with Generator

Doing simple Html panel <-> Generator plugin communication and noticed a strange issue with first Ajax call being much slower than the rest. I.e. in panel javascript the first Ajax call duration is 2000ms+ the first time and then consistently ~5ms every time. On the generator plugin side durations are <2ms every time.
I guess this could be just Chrome initializing some code, but still seems really high. Not the end of the world, but annoying anyhow. Anyone hit similar issues or any other ideas?
Generator code
_server = require("http").createServer(onServerRequest)
_server.listen(8080)
function onServerRequest (request, response) {
var start = new Date().getTime()
console.log("duration=" + (new Date().getTime()-start))
Panel javascript:
window._ajax_start = new Date().getTime()
$.ajax({ url: "http://127.0.0.1:8080/service", async: true })
.fail(function (jqXHR, msg) { alert("service failed! message=" + msg) })
.done(function (data) { updateData(data) })
function updateData(data)
alert("duration =" + (new Date().getTime()-window._ajax_start))

Might be Chrome/panel init delay. If you keep Photoshop&panel open and kill & restart Generator, there is no delay. But if Generator is running, closing & opening panel gives the delay every time. In any case panel side seems to be "guilty".

Indesign CS4 really slow with CMYK images
