Large and many layered file slow on CS5

I've installed CS5 on a new 17" MBP i5 8gb. Opening a CMYK PSB of 5.75 gb and around 100 layers, I was disheartened to find that scrolling and zooming were noticeably slower on CS5 than on CS3 on the same machine, and not substantially faster than CS3 on a 2007 17" MBP. It's frustrating, as Adobe has suggested that I might "process very large images up to ten times faster by taking advantage of cross-platform 64-bit support."
Zooms for this file vary between a few seconds and a minute. At the extremes, it is noticeably worse than CS3 on the same MBP. But even where the time to redraw is similar, CS5's only-when-complete redraw offers less information and less ability to responsively modify zooms than CS3.
Scrolls cause freezes of several seconds to a half minute. I assume that CS3's progressive redraw may sometimes feel faster than it is. But that rapid if partial response is usable information when scrolling. It's often unnecessary to fully image a screen, but CS5 makes it unavoidable. In both CS3 and CS5, once the whole image has been viewed at a particular zoom, scrolling becomes relatively fluid within that zoom until changes have been made.
Looking around this site, I've seen and taken suggestions to repair permissions with Disk Utility, turn off Font Preview and increase the Cache Tile Size to 1024k. There are no 3rd party plugins loaded. I've not seen a substantial improvement in zooming or scrolling, after these changes.
I'm a bit confused by the "tall and thin" and "big and fat" options, as this file and many that I work on have both large height/width and many layers, so neither description fits.
Can anyone recommend settings that might substantially speed up CS5's handling of large files with many layers? Thanks!

Unless you work with us to find the cause of your slowdown, it won't get fixed.
We don't know why you're running slow.
So far the slowdowns seem to be due to bad fonts, bad third party plugins.
But without steps/files to reproduce a slowdown, we aren't going to be able to indentify a cause, much less fix anything.
Chris, are you going to ask me for information that I have not already supplied? Where do I send the multi-GB files?

I previously had PS CS5 Trial installed but removed it using both Control Panel Programs and deleting all files from the CS5 directory on Program Files. I then installed a purchased product from Adobe disc using the serial number on the case. But when I try to launch it, I get a screen headed Photoshop CS5 Extended Trial. It asks for the serial number and says that my trial has expired. It rejects the serial number from the Adobe case saying "This Serial Number is not valid for this product". It thinks that I still have the expired Trial Version installed. How do I convince it (the program) that the Trial Version is long gone and the currently installed product was installed with a valid and accepted serial number????

Let me know how it goes. Go into your Adobe account and register your serial number asap.

That way, should you lose it or you need support, it is on record that it's yours and you can fetch your s/n it from anywhere.
There are too may sad stories here, where people forgot and the box is buried or lost.

Photoshop CS layered files ok in CS5?

Does anyone know if there are problems opening layered files from Photoshop CS in CS5? I'm about to upgrade and need to know if the layered TIFFs and PSDs I created in CS will open as layers in CS5.

Keep in mind you don't strictly have to remove CS when you install CS5. They can both coexist - just not be run at the exact same time. That can give you some confidence that you'll be able to open the older files with CS if you need to. In other words, you don't have to get everything exactly right ahead of time.

Large and Many Replication Manager Database Log Files

Hi All,
I've recently added replication manager support to our database systems. After enabling the replication manager I end up with many log.* files of many gigabytes a piece on the master. This makes backing up the database difficult. Is there a way to purge the log files more often?
It also seems that the replication slave never finishes syncronizing with the master.
Thank you,
Rob

So, I setup a debug env on test machines, with a snapshot of the db. We now set rep_set_limit to 5mb.
Now its failing to sync, so I recompiled with --enable-diagnostic and enabled DB_VERB_REPLICATION.
On the master we see this:

Brush and smudge tools painfully slow in CS5

I use CS5 on quad core 2.26ghz macpro with 32 gb RAM. It's a clean system, both cs5 and os10.6.6 updated. No extra plug-ins or fonts. I do have an extra video card installed for my raid 5 system. Only use photoshop on this computer. Using the healing brush or smudge tool is painfully slow. also moving layers around are slow. I work on 10-15GB files. My assistant works on my old G5 with 8gb of ram and since it's not an intel he's still working in CS2. Using the healing brush on a 4GB file is faster on the G5 in CS2 than on my Quadcore in CS5. What is going on here? how can I speed things up?
I have cache levels set to 7, cache tile sice to 1024.

i have found that any mac pro i use - not all set up the same- if they have a nvidia card after a few hours of working there will be a slowdown of painting, cloning, smudging and screen redraw. I always have open gl off. adobe engineers have been helping now and then but no one has a solution. on the windows forum someone reportedly adjusted their video card settings to fix it. but on a mac we have to option to do that - that i know of. it is a big problem for me when using CS5 that I use CS3 when possible.

Numbers 09 not working - I can open the program but only a few files are available, missing blank, checklist and many others. e.g when I click on a file I get this error: The document "nmbtemplate is invalid. The index.xml file is missing. help.

Please let me know what I can do to get my Numbers (iWork 09) working properly again.
Here is what is going on:
Numbers in iWork 09 not working can't access Blank, Checklist and many other files within Numbers. I can open the program but only a few files are available. When I click on the file (which also has no icon just the name of the file) this warning appears:
The document "Blank.nmbtemplate" is invalid. The index.xml file is missing.
I recently had to get a new hard drive installed and had the system upgraded and more memory put in by a Mac certified specialist recommended to me from the Apple store in Northbrook because this was the 3rd time my drive went bad but this time it was to old (I got the IMAC- in 2007) and the Apple store could no longer work on it this time so they recommended a few places that had certified Mac specialists. Since then Numbers is not working right.
I'm sure it's something simple to fix, but I've tried re installing it and that didn't work. Appreciate any help.
Thanks
AppMare

There is one way its getting fixed. Once I update my Adobe Illustrator CC to Adobe Illustrator CC 2014 it is further allowing me to go into the system folder and allocate the font to the file so that it can replace it. My only concern now is that our MAC partners who will receive these files back from us have Adobe CS6. We will down save it to CS6 but I hope they won't experience any font issues because of us using CC 2014? Any light you can shed on this?

NEF file opening in CS5 as a smart object

My CS5 recently started opening up all my Nikon raw files as smart objects. I don't want that. How do I make it stop? This never happened before nor am I aware of me changing any of the settings. Any help would be great. Thanks

I never changed anything in my preference that i'm aware of. I don't even
know what smart objects are. Nor did I want it in the first place.
To clearify. I usually open a folder containing NEF files and then drag and
drop the file over the CS5 program in my dock. Then it brings me to the
Camera Raw menu and I click open and then it opens the file as a smart
object. TIA

Can't export an EPS file from Photoshop CS5 and open in Illustrator CS5.

I'm on Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5
I am making DVD covers for print. The barcodes for the DVD covers have to be done in Illustrator. But the original designs are done in photoshop including the text. For years this hasn't been a problem. Right before adding the barcodes I create an EPS file from photoshop, open that file in Illustrator and all my text is automatically coverted to perfect crisp clean vectors, viola! I add the barcodes and export the PDF for the printers.
But now I can't open my EPS files in Illustrator CS5 even though I'm exporting them the same way I always have from Photoshop CS5. Illustrator says... "The operation cannot complete because of an unknown error." --> Note it does not give an error number after this warning like I see it does for so many other people.
I have been trying to fix this for over 10 HOURS spanning 2 days! I'm infuriated I can't get help from Adobe on this and have read all the forums and don't see my problem listed anywhere.
I've tried:
- Deleting the .plist file and the Settings folder & resetting my permissions
- Uninstalling and Reinstalling Illustrator
- Turning off all other applications
- Creating more disk space on my hard drive (even though I have 200gb available)
- Restarting the computer
- Disabling my Font book and still I can't open the EPS file
I thought maybe it's possible it's the font I'm using Fontesque OT so I even tried converting text to objects prior to exporting the EPS file from photoshop to illustrator and turning off my font book, but still it won't open. And if I open the PSD directly in Illustrator, text comes out a bit fuzzy in the PDF I export.
If anyone can provide any solutions I would be so grateful! I'm at my wits end here, this should have taken under an hour to do and now it's ruining my entire weekend. I'm completely panicked because I was suppose to have these to my client over the weekend so they could turn them in for Print frist thing on Monday morning and of course Adobe provides no chat support or phone support after 7pm on weekday or on the weekend which is when this all started.

I never even thought of reinstalling photoshop, but I think this was a font issue. I'd never saved an EPS with Fontesque OT Regular enabled, only Fontesque OT Bold. Somehow I think the font was causing the problem because ridding the font from the equation allowed me to open the EPS file.
After 12 HOURS of trying different things I found a WORK AROUND...
I had to:
- Select the Text in Photoshop (with Fontesque OT enabled) --> Select Create Work Path --> Covert to Shape on each of the text items
- Save EPS file out of Photoshop
- Disable Fontesque OT font in Font Book
- Then open EPS in Illustrator add in my Barcodes and export the PDF
(the barcodes have to be added in Illustrator because they need to be pure 100% black with no CMYK color in them. You can't save them out of Photoshop that way, only Illustrator, otherwise I would have made my pdf straight out of photoshop like any other normal human
This work around is the only way I could get the EPS files to open in Illustrator and still have the text remain super crisp like a vector.
NOTE to others in the future about crisp text from Photoshop to Illustrator:
- Simply "converting to shape" did not preserve the vector. You have to Select Create Work Path --> then Covert to Shape on each of the text items (with the font enabled) for this to work and preserve the crispness of the text. Even creating "smart object" did not truly preserve my vectors or the text crispness in the EPS file once I imported it into Illustrator.
DrStrik9 thank you SO MUCH for trying to help me. You did give me ideas that helped me figure out the workaround and also helped me feel not so alone as I struggled through this. I'm going to follow up with your other suggestions about reinstalling photoshop and also checking my RAM, etc. But I just want to that you so so so SOOOO much for all your time and consideration in this matter. I hope you have a wonderful amazing week ahead and that someone does something very nice and thoughtful for you too

1GB file was too large and did not upload

Please indicate when the Cloud will allow for larger uploads, as promised in previous posts by Adobe staff. I have many files larger than 1GB and many files larger than 5GB.
(Please correct me if I am wrong. This worked for months when first launched, albeit badly. At least it worked. And now the cloud service and storage of large files--a reason I BOUGHT this product--remains unusable. And promises by staff have remained unmet. It tarnishes the reputation of a fine company to make promises and not keep them, and even worse, to leave those promises on the boards as if they are true. Pull down or fix old posts that are no longer correct, please.)

Please note that other sites like Aframe http://aframe.com/ offer unlimited download and upload of massive, unlimited videos files-- and with great speed. I regularly hit 45Mb/s which is my maximum speed at home, and I have reached 100Mb/s from another location where that is the maximum. I have 1TB of space there, and that is a useful and necessary amount of space for video editors. I know that a person can load a single 1.75TB file or more at Aframe.
As for Adobe, the limit of 1GB - 5GB makes it a purely consumer-grade service, in keeping with the FREE site of Dropbox. So yes, I would have to agree with you that Adobe Creative Cloud is like Dropbox.
Please let me know when you will either partner with sites like Aframe to provide a higher level of service, or provide a similar professional service. It is something we are all paying for, and something we want and need.
Honestly, I keep stop using this license because of the hassle, and go on to use other software I have. Because of the shortcomings of the Creative Cloud, I have been buying alternative software. Getting your product and cloud storage up to a higher level of functionality is important.

Hi Everyone. I have an old Mac Book. I have saved a ton of emails in my inbox 'On My Mac'. There are so many it is slowing down my computer. Where do I find the folder with all the emails so I can cut and paste them to an external hard drive?Pls.help.

Hi Everyone. I have an old Mac Book with software updated to 10.6.8. I have saved a ton of emails in my inbox 'On My Mac'. There are so many it is slowing down my computer. Where do I find the folder with all the emails so I can cut and paste them to an external hard drive? Pls.help. Tks.

Depending on which email client software you use
the files should be in 'your home folder' library, esp.
if you use Mail application.... ~/Library/Mail
Since you don't specify what mail application,
that would most be associated with the file.
I notice there are some items to the right of your post
where it says "more like this' so that may be worth a
look to see if similar issues were answered. Also, the
Help viewer in your system is a searchable database.
Seems that google also brings up fair information, too.
Do you have a complete bootable clone of your entire
Mac system on an externally enclosed hard disk drive?
Good luck & happy computing!

I'm trying to back up 10.6.8 (snow leopard) and all my files before upgrade to Mavericks. I have an old but sturdy external hard drive...how many GB available will I probably need to back up the whole thing? thanks!

You will need a separate partition unless you plan to use the entire drive. You will need an amount of space somewhat larger than the total space now used on your startup drive. If you select the startup drive's Desktop icon, then press COMMAND-I to open the Get Info window. Used space will be shown in the topmost panel. Add a GB or two to that number to determine how much space you'll need for the backup.
Do not backup on a drive that has any files you want to keep. You can make a bootable backup as follows:

In Indesign CS6 I export an artboard to TIFF with the sdk's funtion SnapshotUtilsEx- ExportImageToTIFF(iStream) and, the resulting file is one pixel too large in the X, leaving a transparent strip on one edge. Any idea if there is a bug in the sdk?

An easy example to prove this bug of Indesing CS6: I create a psd with Photoshop CS6, with width 505 pixels, height 317 pixels and a resolution of 300 pixels per inch. This psd is placed on a page in InDesign CS6. Then I try to export it as a tiff with the functions:
fSnapshotUtilsEx->Draw(flags,fullResolutionGraphics,greekBelowPtSize,enableAntiAliasing,tr ansparencyQuality,abortCheck,pVPAttrMap,bDrawNonPrintingObjects);
and
SnapshotUtilsEx-> ExportImageToTIFF (iStream)
The resulting tiff has a width of 506 pixels (one pixel more in width). It will happen the same if we start with a width of 507 pixels, etc.
This error does not occur with Indesign CS5, nor Indesing CC.

Why does Illustrator CS5.5 crash when opening 1.5GB sized vector layered files on my iMac OS X?

Why does Illustrator CS5.5 crash when opening 1.5GB sized vector layered files on my iMac OS X?

1.5GB for a vector file is very large. If you can ever open this file would recomend file >> save as >> turn off PDF compatibility.
Can you please tell us why your file is so large, you may have a problem such as deleted global swatches, or an exceptionally large number of items in your symbols, styles, brushes palette. For even the most complex illustration filling the entire 227.54" artboard, you should be under 20mb if you have no embedded or linked images.

I cannot open many files created in CS5 into CS4

How do I overcome that

In each case I created a CS5 file and saved all its layers as .psd. I then flattened the file and saved it as .jpg. These files appear in windows explorer. When I load CS5 and click File/Open the window shows those files. But when I load CS4 and click File/Open the window showing the contents of that same folder does not include some of those files whether "Files of type" is set at psd, jpg, or all formats. If, however, I go to that folder that has the file using Windows Explorer, right click on it, and tell it to open with CS4 it does open in CS4. Hold on a sec. I just discovered something. The folder contains some files which are modifications of original files which have the same name as the original but with v2 or v3 or v4 appended to the name. It is those which do not show up when I load CS4 and click on File/Open. Curiouser and curiouser. Any ideas?

Aperture saving layered TIFF files incorrectly from CS5

Hello All--
I've had a problem for some time now.
The short and no so sweet:
I open a RAW file as a TIFF file in CS5 directly from Aperture. I work on the file in CS5, incorporating layer masks, etc. and then save the final version back to aperture as a layered TIFF file. This is where the problem occurs. Aperture corrupts the file upon saving. When I try and view the file in Aperture, it only displays a portion of the image (or one of the masks) and that's it.
Right now, it seems to happen at random. Super frustrating as I never really know when it will or won't occur. Has anyone else experienced this problem? I found an old post here that seemed to note the same issue on a much older version of Aperture (http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=3343863). I'm currently running the latest version of Aperture.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

First of all, Aperture does not save files. It may not properly display the file that CS5 saved, but it didn't save it.
When you say you've exported the files and they appear corrupt, do you mean export version or export master. The later will export exactly what CS5 saved.
If you have extra channels- other than R, G, B and the RGB composite channel- in Photoshop including saved selections (but not including layer masks which only appear in the Channels Panel when the layer is active) it will not display properly in Aperture.
This goes back to version 1.0. If you need to save a channel, save it as a disabled layer mask. You can easily test to see if this is the problem: Open two images in Photoshop and save a channel in one of them but not the other. See how Aperture handles them.
