New Smart sharpen slow updates

The new Smart Sharpen (Photoshop CC) is very nice especially the possibility of enlarging the preview window. However the update when adjusting the sliders is quiet slow despite the fact that I have a rather powerful configuration.
Anybody experiences the same lag or is the problem at my end?
Regards,
Ronald

I think in this case it goes beyond NR and into something being slightly wrong with event handling, causing the display to possibly not update right away or even at all until you interact with it. I've even seen the sharpening preview applied to the main Photoshop editing preview, while not being applied to the preview in the Smart Sharpen dialog.
I'm confident they'll fix this for the next point release.
It's kind of a shame that the UI has a bit of a gotcha, because the actual image results of the CC 14.0 rendition of the Smart Sharpen filter are quite superb.

New Photoshop Smart Sharpen in CC

What's the difference between the Threshold slider in the USM filter and the Reduce Noise slider in the new Smart Sharpen filter?
Jim

Here's some additional info, showing an image quite a bit zoomed-in...
No sharpening applied (note Amount: 0%):
With strong sharpening applied, but with 0% Noise Reduction. Note that it has brought up the noise in the green background.
Same level of sharpening as above, but with 20% noise reduction applied. Note that the background has been pretty much left alone, but the subject has been sharpened quite a bit:
Before:
After (500%, 1.4 pixels, 20% NR):

LR 3.2 new smart collection not getting correct capture date?

Just created a new smart collection after updating to LR 3.2.
It's showing photos taken in 2008 and 2009, well beyond the last two months. Checked the capture date displayed in LR. The older photos shown have been edited within the last two months.
Bug or am I doing something wrong?
Thanks.

There was bug with "months" since Lightroom 2. Looks like it has never been fixed.
Try setting "60 days" instead of "2 months".

Smart sharpen runs painfully slow

Hello,
On my current system and on my previous system smart sharpen runs PAINFULLY slow. It happened in CS3, CS5, and now with CC it often causes the Photoshop to stop responding and I have to force quit.
I currently have:
MacBook Pro Dual 2.5 GHz i7
8 GB 1333 DDR3 Ram
dual SSDs running Raid 0
OS 10.8.4
The rest of Photoshop seens to run OK, it's just Smart Sharpen that bogs down I'm usually working on 16 bit files that have gotten to be around 800MB-1.2GB by the time I get to sharpening.
Any pointers?????
Thanks

I did a test on my machine to simulate your 60 megapixels image for the square root of 60 megapixel I came up with 7746x7746 Pixels. So I opened a new document 7746x7746 Pixels 16bit ProPhotRGB 300DPI. made it 25.82" square/ I added a spectrum gradient ant the added a lot of noise. my machine is 2Ghz dual 6 core xeons. It took Smart Sharpen 28 seconds to sharpen the image. Only CPU was being used no disk i/o little RAM user around 5GB for Photoshop all CPU during the 28 seconds used by Photoshop 30% of all 24 Processor threads.

Smart Sharpen Incredibly Slow 16-bit mode, Vista 64

I recently switched to a VISTA 64 machine, Quad, with 6 GB ram. I export 16-bit files from LR. Now the Smart Sharpen routine is horrendously slow - taking upwards of 5 or more minutes to sharpen a 5700x4300px image. If I change the mode down to 8-bits it runs reasonably like it did before (actually it's pretty good on the Quad Core). But what's wrong with the 16-bit file ... is it a bug with smart sharpen on 64 bit architectures or do I have some weird problem with the image size outstripping my processor level 1 or 2 cache (or something like that) causing it to thrash memory. During this period the Task Monitor shows all 4 CPU's at nearly 100%. The problem occurs in both basic and advanced mode.

I have also recently noticed the CS6 x64 version of Smart Sharpen takes longer to execute and definitely longer than CS5 x64 (running windows 7 with 16 GB RAM.
I cannot be sure and have no way of testing but this is a recent event and I do not remember it being this slow when I first installed CS6. So maybe something has changed. I work primarily with 16 bit images.
My memory is getting a little better and I do not remember seeing a progress bar, but now I do, get's off to a very slow start, then around 75% of completion it really speeds up. I could be wrong but it feels like it's not the actual sharpening process that is slower, but the mechanism writing the data. By the way I have a dedicated scratch drive for CS6 with nothing on it except the autorecover directory and there is 1.5TB free
But whatever, something has changed - not for the better

PS CS3 Smart Sharpen very slow for LCE

PS CS3 Smart Sharpen is very slow to create a preview and then be applied to the image, at least when using a low amount and high radius, eg 20, 50, for local contrast enhancement (LCE). I'm now running Vista 64, but I think it happened even under XP 32.
Is this a common issue or is there some way of speeding things up with Smart Sharpen?
Cheers, John

A solution!
It turns out the problem in my case was in fact Suitcase. Previously, I'd tried turning it off, but that didn't fix the problem, so this time, I uninstalled it completely and the problem disappeared. I then began re-adding it (installed 15.0.1, upgraded it, etc.) and the problem resurfaced with the addition of the Photoshop-specific plugin. Deleting that plugin solved the problem. So it seems that "disabling" Suitcase by stopping the TypeCore doesn't seem to actually disable all of the tentacles it sticks into your system.
You can find the plugin here: Applications / Adobe Photoshop CS6 / Plug-ins / Automate / ExtensisFontManagementPSCS6.plugin
(After a restart, I also had to delete the font cache, as described here http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/kb/troubleshoot-fonts-photoshop-cs5.html but your mileage may vary.)
Alternately, if you don't want to delete the plugin, disabling it from within Photoshop seems to work as well. To do that, go to File > Automate > Extensis, click Preferences..., then deselect Enable Suitcase Fusion 4 Auto-Activation.
Fortunately, the plugin doesn't seem necessary at all to use the the core functionality of Suitcase (enabling and disabling fonts) in Photoshop. I didn't even know what these app-specific plugins did until researching this problem, and I still don't quite understand the point of them. I guess they allow you to let the apps for which they're installed do a little bit more of their own management (enable a font via Suitcase that isn't enabled system-wide), but that seems like more control than I need--if I'm enabling a font, I want all my software to be able to use it.
Anyway, the problem seems to be completely solved on my system now, though I just did all this, so more testing over the next few days is required. I'll post here if any issues crop up. I'm interested in hearing if this solves it for anyone else as well.

Smart Sharpen and Reduce Noise preview windows are blank

Hello,
I am using Photoshop CS5 64 bit with WIndows 7
Whenever I try to use the Smart Sharpen or Reduce Noise image menu items, the preview window for both
these applications are always blank.
My images are mostly 16 bit with some 8 bit but I always get the same blank preview window
Any help would be appreciated
Dave Harman

Always check your LAYERS panel to ensure you've activated the image layer on which the pixels reside, and not an adjustment layer. Also make sure you've clicked on the image if there's a layer mask present, so the filter won't be inadvertntly working on the mask.
Assuming you're not on the wrong layer, have you checked to see whether new drivers are available from the web site of the maker of your video card? Many, many display problems are resolved by updating display drivers.

My new smart TV recognizes my network, & asks, "Please enter you WEP keys (10 or 26 hex digits)" but my netwotk uses a password of 6 characters. How can I get my smart TV to connect to my network?

I have a current iMac with the latest OS update.
My new smart TV recognizes my network, & asks, “Please enter your WEP keys (10 or 26 hex digits). My Airport Express, an early model, only requires a password of less than 10 characters.
When I open “airport utility,”on my iMac it tells me this version doesn’t support my base station & says go to “Airport Service & Support.” That’s what got me here.
My earlier MacBook runs OS 10.6.8. Its version of Airport Utility works. Its Airport ID has 17 characters, & uses the same password to access the internet, but it also has a “wireless password” of 26 characters, but only shows me the dots. i haven’t the foggiest notion what the characters are, if I put them in there years ago when i did the original configuration, or if they got there otherwise..
I’m afraid of changing those settings for fear that I’l mess up the whole thing.
How can I get my smart TV to connect to my network, ?

Please check out the following AirPort User Tip on how to recover AirPort passwords.

Problems with smart sharpening in Photoshop CC 14.2

When I open the smart sharpening filter, the hand symbol pops up and Photoshop doesn't do anything anymore. With Ctrl - Alt - Delete I have to shut down the program. All other filters work correctly. I also removed and installed Photoshop CC again, but the problems are still the same.
Can someone advise?
Regards Piebe

Smart Sharpen was one of the things tweaked in 14.2 so it may have been to do with your Preferences > Performance settings. (In case it goes wrong again)

Additional improvements
This update also includes many other improvements to Photoshop CC, including improvements and enhancements to Scripted Patterns and fills, performance boosts for Smart Sharpen using the Mercury Graphics Engine

How Can Improve On Slow Update Query Using /*+ NO_XML_DML_REWRITE */?

We have an update query recently brought to my attention that is running extremely slow on Oracle 11.2.0.1 against a secure file binary XML table using
update /*+ NO_XML_DML_REWRITE */croutreach.action set object_value = :1 where actn_id = :2 .
I am told the majority/near majority of the ~ 16 fields are updated. Also this table has numerous predefined virtual columns with fn based indexes on them.
My first inclination was to recast this using the Oracle updatexml function. I was told, the /*+ NO_XML_DML_REWRITE */ hint would also be necessary here.
update /*+ NO_XML_DML_REWRITE */
<tble_name> a
set a.object_value = updatexml(a.object_value ...).
Last year our dba's were instructed by Oracle Support to use this hint, as the update wasn't updating any records w.o any error msgs.
+1. Hoping to find out if anyone has run across using this hint in some capacity and what was their experience?+
In trying to optimizie this update statement, I'll start from scratch not using the /*+ NO_XML_DML_REWRITE */ hint and will commence with using the updatexml function with setting up an xmlindex.
+2. Hoping to receive some suggestions on creating the proper xmlindex - figuring an unstructured index. If get some good performance with the xmlindex; hoping to retire some of the virtual column usage.+
+3. Any suggestions on living with virtual columns in conjunction with xmlindexes? See the action table definition and associated ivirtual columns and indexes. This table seems over indexed...+

DIAGNOSTIC ANALYSIS =================== reproducible testcase on customer dummy data reproduced by Thomas.
WORKAROUND? =========== No
TECHNICAL IMPACT ================ Customer is experiencing this error which is critical to the application because it causes a home health care provider to possibly lose a couple hours worth of work and have to start from scratch. The condition has only accessed concurrently from about 40 threads
RELATED ISSUES (bugs, forums, RFAs) =================================== Bug 8514561 - ORA-8102 WHEN UPDATING TABLE
HOW OFTEN DOES THE ISSUE REPRODUCE AT CUSTOMER SITE? ==================================================== Intermittent
DOES THE ISSUE REPRODUCE INTERNALLY? ==================================== Intermittent
IS A TESTCASE AVAILABLE? ======================== Yes The good news is, this bug is corrupting a virtual index column.
I'll try test cases using the update pattern; 'update /*+ NO_XML_DML_REWRITE */croutreach.action set object_value = :1 where actn_id = :2 ' - substituting actual values for the bind variables and removing interfering virtual columns. Wil lcompare with and w/o the hint.
This wil address your; "Where does the new values come from? Individual variables?" - and provide sample data.
Presently, this update pattern is used 'blindly' in that when no xml relevent changes are identified, only a couple of the roughly 16 fields are updated - yet the whole document gets updated with this update pattern. When changes occur, the whole document is updated. Will work with updating 1 or 2 fields using updatexml and try the xmlexists function for the predicate.

odie 63,
Here's a sample xml record from the action securefile binary xml table:
<?xml version = '1.0' encoding = 'UTF-8' standalone = 'yes'?><action xsi:type="AssessmentActionType" status_dt="2012-01-18T19:38:21.077Z" status="not applicable" create_dt="2012-01-17T23:10:16.173Z" id="dfdfdfdfdfddfdfdfdfdfdf" xmlns:ns5="http://www.xxxxx.ddd/exception/definition/schema/2010/01" xmlns="http://www.xxxxxx.ddd/mmm/domains/actions/2010/03" xmlns:ns6="http://www.xxxxx.ddd/mmm/domains/utility/outcome/2010/03" xmlns:ns7="http://www.xxxxxx.ddd/mmm/domains/common/2010/03" xmlns:ns2="http://www.xxxxx.ddd/mmm/messages/actions/2010/03" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:ns3="http://www.xxxxx.ddd/mmm/domains/workforce/2010/03" xmlns:ns4="http://www.xxxxxx.ddd/mmm/domains/entitlement/2011/11">

         <srvContextPath>Access Profile~Why did you access the profile?~Reason for access?</srvContextPath>
      </outreachActionDefInfo>
   </srvContextPointer>
</action>Started out using this update statement against the virtual column a.actn_id. This column is also indexed as a fbi.
UPDATE /*+ NO_XML_DML_REWRITE */ action A
SET A.object_value = updatexml(A.object_value,'/action/@status','triggered','xmlns="http://www.xxxx.vvv/yyy/domains/actions/2010/03"')
where a.actn_id='888a80be-d69f-464d-b3f7-85b6209f918e';
This statment updates fine with and w/o the hint. This hint takes away the piecewise update of the xml document and relies upon the a.actn_id virtual column.
Then removed the reliance on the virtual column using the xmlexists fn.
First did an alter index 'actn_id_pk invisible' to take the virtual column out of consideration by the optimizer.
UPDATE /*+ NO_XML_DML_REWRITE */ action A
SET A.object_value = updatexml(A.object_value,'/action/@status','triggered','xmlns="http://www.xxxx.vvv/yyy/domains/actions/2010/03"')
where xmlexists('$p/action[@id="'888a80be-d69f-464d-b3f7-85b6209f918e'"]' PASSING object_value as "p");
This update runs but doesn't update any columns - with or without the hint.
Also created a basic unstructured xmlindex to remove the full table scan - which worked fine execution plan-wise.
create index action_xmlindex_ix on action (object_value) indextype is xdb.xmlindex;Per the SR on this, the /*+ NO_XML_DML_REWRITE */ disables piecewise update and is a workaround for the bug surrounding virtual column index usage when having many concurrent sessions and updates against a table with millions of xml documents. Getting rid of the virtual column in the predicate removes the need for the workaround hint.
My problem is This update runs but doesn't update any columns. Maybe am missing something or doing a syntax/semantic error ?
Any assistance much appreciated...

Rick Blanchard

Smart playlists not updating live after 3.1.1 upgrade

Same discussion started back in February about the 3.0 update (http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=9937797)
I thought for sure live updating would work properly with such an update from 3.0 -> 3.1.1, but no luck! I guess it takes more than 7 months to fix this.
As a refresher -- if you have a smart playlist that includes a "not played in the last xx days" condition, the old OS (2.2.1) would automatically remove a played song from the smart playlist on the iPod so your playlist is always valid. However, in 3.0 and 3.1.1, the iPod does not automatically recalculate the smart playlist and you have to sync with iTunes to get the song to be removed.

I have discovered a workaround for this issue. As with most workarounds, it's not too pretty, but it gets you there.
Knowing that live updating smart playlists that refer to other playlists won't properly update on the iPod, and taking advantage of the fact that iTunes 9 now allows for nested logic in smart playlists, we can make a complex nested logic smart playlist that live updates on the iPod as long as it doesn't refer to another playlist. In place of referring to another playlist, refer to some metadata instead. The cleanest metadata tag in my opinion is "Category." It is metadata that does not by default display in playlist view (you can enable it under the View menu), and is not visible when selecting Get Info on a track. You can use the excellent "Enter Category Text for Selected v1.1" script to enter Category tags, available at http://dougscripts.com/itunes/scripts/ss.php?sp=entercategorytext . Just enter the name of the playlist the track is contained in for the Category tag.
I'll give an example of how this works. Let's say you have a long playlist named "day" containing certain tracks you like to listen to when the sun is out. You want to create an intelligent and self-updating megamix playlist of tracks only from the "day" playlist that will play songs you haven't heard, as well as songs you've heard and have rated. As an added smartness, you want to hear the tracks you've rated higher more often than the tracks with a lower rating. You want this new "day mix" playlist to live update properly on your iPod touch.
First you'll need to tag all your "day" playlist songs. Download and install the "Enter Category Text for Selected v1.1" script mentioned above. Select all the songs in the "day" playlist, run the script, and enter "day" for the Category.
Now you can make the smart playlist. In iTunes 9, create a new Smart Playlist. Using the new nested logic in iTunes 9 smart playlists, select the following conditions:
) Match any of the following rules:
) all of the following rules:
) Category contains day
) Playcount is 0
) all of the following rules:
) Category contains day
) Rating is *
) Last Played is not in the last 6 months
) all of the following rules:
) Category contains day
) Rating is **
) Last Played is not in the last 5 months
) all of the following rules:
) Category contains day
) Rating is *
) Last Played is not in the last 4 months
) all of the following rules:
) Category contains day
) Rating is **
) Last Played is not in the last 3 months
) all of the following rules:
) Category contains day
) Rating is ***
) Last Played is not in the last 2 months
) Live updating
You should find that the new "day mix" smart playlist properly live updates on your iPod touch.
As with any workaround, there are troubling aspects. One is that you'll need to constantly update your metadata tag of choice (Category, in my example) each time you add new tracks to a source regular playlist on your iPod. I'm also unsure about overloading the metadata with a number of tags in the case where tracks co-exist on multiple playlists. Also be aware that smart playlists like this tend to hang the iPod for several minutes with the "Updating Library" screen, so be prepared to be patient.
I hope this is of use to someone. Please post any streamlining suggestions for this workaround.

Why are my smart playlists not updating?

I tried to create a new smart playlist, and could not get even the simplest one to populate with any music. I then noticed that my current smart playlists are not updating. For example, I have an UNRATED smart playlist (Rating is less than *), and it used to update whenever I would rate a song in the list. It currently has rated songs in it. This is the first time I've been working in iTunes since I accepted the iCloud update. Is there a known problem?

Created a similar post about 1 month ago - with no response...its driving me crazy too! Would love a fix!

I can not find Smart Album under "Create". There are no photos selected. iLife has created a mess with this new update. Thanks for your help

Smart Sharpen preview problem

CS4, Mac Pro 2.6 quad, 10.4.11, 5gb RAM, 7300GT video card.
Working with smart sharpen filter, the preview does not update but the file window does. However, achieving the desired results using the file window does not translate to the image after the filter finishes. In fact, it looks as if only a small portion of the filtration has taken effect. Could this be another GPU Open GL problem? Try different settings in smart sharpen, even some very drastic ones, each time the results were much less.

And are you viewing the sharpened file at 100%? No other percentage view will do.

Cannot any longer save new smart collections

Hi, after reinstalling Photoshop CS6 I cannot any longer save smart collections in Bridge. Always I want to create a smart collection by entering criteria, but when I click on SAVE, it is not saved. After some time of waiting, I always have to cancel, to close the pop-up window that should allow me to save the new smart collection. In my old installation (before I had to install a new hard disk), setting up and saving smart collections never was a problem.
ALL updates of CS6 have been installed. And I am under WINDOWS 7. Version of CS6 is: 13.01 x64
Before, I used a regular hard disk for the system, now I have a SSD, plus several hard disks for data storage.
Can anybody help me with advice what the problem is?
That whould be great. Thanx,
Jochen

There is also a Bridge Forum you can search ans ask in Bridge General Discussion
