Photoshop 6 - slow saving process to server

Suddenly, after working with Photoshop 6 a few weeks, it takes 2-5 minutes to save a photoshop document to our server. Saving the file directly to the desktop just takes a second. The files are not heavy, only 60-100 mb.
I´m not 100% sure, but I think this problem started when I updated the OSX two weeks ago....
My computer:
MacBook Pro Retina
Processor 2,6 GHz Intel Core i7
Memory 16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
Graphics NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M 1024 MB
Software OS X 10.8.2 (12C3006)

Chris didn't say it, but Adobe does not support your trying to write files directly from Photoshop to your server. No way, no how.
http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/kb/networks-removable-media-photoshop-cs5.html#main-pars_ heading_3
The pertinent paragraph:
If you use Photoshop CS6, CS5, or CS4 without Creative Suite, Technical Support strongly recommends working in Photoshop directly on the local hard disk. To prevent data loss, save files to your hard disk first. Then transfer them to the network or removable drive in the Finder or in Windows Explorer. To retrieve files, copy them in the Finder or in Windows Explorer from the network or removable drive to your hard disk. You can then open the files in Photoshop. This workflow avoids problems that occur when network system setups or removable media device drivers are incompatible with the operating system or Photoshop.
As you can see, they suggest copying the file to your local system, saving locally, then using the OS to copy it back. This also has the advantage that if you do something unexpected to a file the original is still there on the server.

SSAS Tabular slow (full) processing when server is up for more than a day

Setup: SQL 2014 CU3. Machine with 2 physical CPUs and 384GB of RAM. Windows 2012R2.
96GB allocated to SQL Server, rest allocated to Vertipaq/Tabular.
Problem: after a restart of Analysis Services (Tabular), processing time for full processing is fine. Processing of the main table runs with 145000 rows/sec for one cube, and 60000 rows/sec for the other.
After a day of uptime, full processing is slower by a factor of 2-3. For the second cube, performance stays at a low ~ 18000 rows/sec for subsequent full processing.
Performance counter says "memory Limit Vertipaq KB" ~ 280GB, "while memory usage KB" ~ 63GB. There should be plenty of free memory.
SQL Queries for the tabular data are fine and extremely simple and high performance.
I can reproduce the effect at will.
Is this a known bug?

Please try to clear the cache and check if this issue is persists or not.

Glow Effect Severely Slows Saving Process

In my Illustrator file, I created a large oval with an inner glow. This object is really slow to move, and makes the file take about 10 minutes to save. Is there any way I can keep the object and have the file save more quickly?

Thanks! I created a duplicate file and lowered it to 72dpi and now working smoothly. Will I be able to change it back to 300dpi for printing, without detrimental effects?

Problem saving a Photoshop file from an AFP server

Hi All,
Just want to know if some of you guys are experiencing this and how you solved it.
Basically we have an AFP server and OD services. All mac clients are bound to OD and are using the OD account for logging in. Most of the user are using photoshop. However when one edits a file and wanted to save/replace it, photoshop generates an error saying its locked forcing phothsop users to do file SaveAs and rename the file. We have been doing the AFP server and editing photoshop directly through the network for almost 1 and 1/2 years but not experienced this issues until later that we added more users/employees in our network and this issue came up
The error is
Could not save "Photoshop File.psd" because the file is locked. Use the 'Get Info' command in the finder to unlock the file.
We are able to create folders/files to where the photoshop is saving and other applications seems to save/replace files fine except for photoshop.
Has anyone encounter this and how did you solve it?

I found the solution here, http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=4644850#4644850 and the steps are as follows,
In Workgroup Manager (OS X Server) select the group you want to apply the setting to, the choose Preferences.
Choose the "Details" tab and add .GlobalPreferences.plist
Clear all the settings, and add a new key called NSUmask, then choose "integer" with a value of 2
Next time your users for that group log in and they save a file it will be rw-rw-r
The default umask for Macs is 022 (rw-r--r--), this changes it to 002. I didn't try manually changing the default umask on the individual workstations, but I assume that would work also.

Slow ethernet save to server

Hello. I have recently started to experience major slow downs on my G5 when saving to the server. The problem is really noticable when saving from a program (Photoshop, Illustrator etc) to the server - it takes 30-40 secs whereas before it would be almost instant. I've tried the exact same file on a G5 dual on the same network and server and its fine.
I've done the obvious - changed cables, rebooted, rebooted server, disconnected iDisk, switched ports. When I connect directly to a PowerBook with an ethernet cable it works fine.
Can't think of anything else - any ideas!?
G5 Quad Mac OS X (10.4.6)

I'm experiencing the same issue. My situation is a PC connected to a Powerbook G4 with a single ethernet cable (100Mbit). Recently (I suspect since an OS X upgrade), the transfer rates from the powerbook to the PC have gotten very slow. If I use MenuMeters to monitor the transfer speed, I can see the speed spiking erratically, jumping up to hundreds of kilobytes and dropping back to a couple kilobytes per second, each second. When I download files to the powerbook, the speed is rock solid multiple megabytes per second.
I've tried changing the network cable, tried tweaking the network settings on the PC to no avail. The only thing that helped slightly was to change the powerbook's ethernet settings to 100Mbit half-duplex (I read on a different thread that slow upstream/fast downstream is a 'typical duplex misconfiguration issue'). Now, the transfer speed is still quite erratic, but the average speed is much higher (back in the megabyte-per-second range). But if I set it to autoconfigure, or force it to full-duplex, the speed is much slower. This is still not a real solution though.
This problem occurs regardless of protocol (I've tried SMB and FTP). Given that this has suddenly started appearing, I suspect a faulty OS upgrade. I'm certainly happy to hear that I'm not the only one with this problem.

CS6 very slow saving large files

I have recently moved from PS CS5 to CS6 and have noticed what seems to be an increase in the amount of time it takes to save large files. At the moment I am working with a roughly 8GB .psb and to do a save takes about 20 minutes. For this reason I have had to disable the new autosave features, otherwise it just takes far too long.
CS5 managed to save larger files, more quickly and with less memory available to it. Looking at system resources while Photoshop is trying to save, it is not using its full allocation of RAM specified in performance preferences and there is still space free on the primary scratch disc. The processor is barely being used and disc activity is minimal (Photoshop might be writing at 4mb/s max, often not at all though according to Windows).
I am finding the new layer filtering system invaluable so would rather not go back to CS5. Is this is a known issue or is there something I can do to speed up the saving process?
Thanks.

Thanks for the quick replies.
Noel: I did actually experiment with turing off 'maximize compatibility' and compression and it had both good and bad effects. On the plus side it did reduce the save time somewhat, to somewhere a little over 10 minutes. However it also had the effect of gobbling up ever more RAM while saving, only leaving me with a few hundred mb's during the save process. This is odd in itself as it actually used up more RAM than I had allocated in the preferences. The resulting file was also huge, almost 35 GB. Although total HD space isn't a problem, for backing up externally and sharing with others this would make things a real headache.
Curt: I have the latest video driver and keep it as up to date as possible.
Trevor: I am not saving to the same drive as the scratch dics, although my primary scratch disc does hold the OS as well (it's my only SSD). The secondary scratch disc is a normal mechanical drive, entirely separate from where the actual file is held. If during the save process my primary scratch disc was entirely filled I would be concerned that that was an issue, but it's not.
Noel: I have 48 GB with Photoshop allowed access to about 44 of that. FYI my CPU's are dual Xeon X5660's and during the save process Photoshop isn't even using 1 full core i.e. less than 4% CPU time.

Viewing HTML page saved on the server from the browser

Hi all
In my application i am having some HTML pages saved on the server. I had given an option to the user to view the HTML page from my application. behind the scene what i am doing is that the view request will get handled by a servlet and from that servlet iam locating the HTML page on the server directory and sending the HTML page to browser by using the Servlet OutputStream. The HTML page is shown on the browser but the attached images are not shown. The images are also there in the server directory and are refered in the HTML file correctly. When i directly open the HTML file then the images are shown correctly.
Can anyone suggest wat's wrong there.
The code i m using is
ServletOutputStream out=response.getOutputStream();
                    if(format.equalsIgnoreCase("pdf"))
                         logger.info("Seleted format is pdf..\n");
                         response.setContentType("application/pdf");
                    else
                         logger.info("Seleted format is html..\n");
                         response.setContentType("text/html");
String file = ReportingConstants.URL_GENERATEDREPORTS+reportPath+itemName;
// file : HTML file absolute path as string.
                    URL url=new URL(file);
                    BufferedInputStream bis=new BufferedInputStream(url.openStream());
                    BufferedOutputStream bos=new BufferedOutputStream(out);
                    byte[] buff = new byte[2048];
                    int bytesRead;
                    while(-1 != (bytesRead = bis.read(buff, 0, buff.length))) {
                         bos.write(buff, 0, bytesRead);
                         bos.flush();
                    }

You have to undertsand how the browser handles images and other resources in a HTML page. In the HTML there is an image tag that has a url to an image which can be a reletive url or an absolute url (starts with a "/").
If the url is a relative url the browser interprets the url as being relative to the url currently displayed in the address field discarding the last element of the url . So if the url in the address bar is http://www.myserver.com/myapp/mypage.html and the relative url is images/myimage.jpg, the browser will submit a request to the server for http://www.myserver.com/myapp/images/myimage.jpg
Now let's say that you are call mypage.html from a servlet that has the url http://www.myserver.com/myapp/servlets/myservlet. Then when the browser tries to retrieve myimage.jpg it will use the url http://www.myserver.com/myapp/servlets/myservlet/images/myimage.jpg and since this is incorrect it will not be able to display the images.
One solution to this is to change all of the image urls to absolute urls. That is the start with a slash where the slash represents the start of the url after the application domain name. For example you used an absolute url for myimage.jpg it would look like /images.myimage.jpg and when accessing the page through the servlet url (http://www.myserver.com/myapp/servlets/myservlet) the browser will discard everything after http://www.myserver.com/myapp and look for the image at http://www.myserver.com/myapp/images/myimage.jpg which is the correct url.
A second solution is to use the HTML BASE tag which tells the browser not to interpret the image tag urls (and other resourses) using the current url in the address bar but to use the url supplied in the HTML BASE tag. The browser will still perform the same process for relative urls but now relative to the BASE tag url. Since the BASE tag url will be the same every time the page is accesssed the images should be correctly accessed no matter how the page is accessed (eg directly, using RequestDistpatcher or via your servlet)

Why index creation is slower on the new server?

Hi there,
Here is a bit of background/env info:
Existing prod server (physical): Oracle 10gR2 10.2.0.5.8 on ASM
RAM: 96GB
CPUs: 8
RHEL 5.8 64bit
Database size around 2TB
New server:
VMWare VM with Oracle 10gR2 10.2.0.5.8 on ASM
RAM 128GB
vCPUs: 16
RHEL 5.8 64bit
Copy of prod DB (from above server) - all init param are the same
I noticed that Index creation is slower on this server. I ran following query:
SELECT name c1, cnt c2, DECODE (total, 0, 0, ROUND (cnt * 100 / total)) c3
FROM (SELECT name, VALUE cnt, (SUM (VALUE) OVER ()) total
FROM v$sysstat
WHERE name LIKE 'workarea exec%')
C1
C2
C3
workarea executions - optimal
100427285
100
workarea executions - onepass
2427
0
workarea executions - multipass
0

Following bitmap index takes around 40mins in prod server while it takes around 2Hrs on the VM.
CREATE BITMAP INDEX MY_IDX ON
MY_HIST(PROD_YN) TABLESPACE TS_IDX PCTFREE 10
STORAGE(INITIAL 12582912 NEXT 12582912 PCTINCREASE 0 ) NOLOGGING
This index is created during a batch-process and the dev team is complaining of slowness of the batch on new server. I have found this one statement responsible for some of the grief. There may be more and I am investigating.
I know that adding "parallel" option may speedup but I want find out why is it slow on the new server.
I tried creating a simple index on a large table and it took 2min in prod and 3.5min on this VM. So I guess index creation is slower on this VM in general. DMLs (select/insert/delete/update) seem to work with better elapsed time.
Any clues what might be causing this slowness in index creation?
Best regards

I have been told that the SAN in use by the VM has capacity of 10K IOPS. Not sure of this info helps. I don't know more than this about the storage.
What else do I need to find out? Please let me know - I'll check with my Sys Admin and update the thread.
Best regards

recently bought a samsung NX30 camera which came with lightroom 5, after several hours of googling i got it setup properly with the correct camera raw to be able to access my raw images. I found my old laptop was very slow when processing the hundreds of images I usually take on a weekly basis. I bought a new faster laptop but when I looked for the cd with the software and serial I could not find it in the Xmas clutter. I downloaded a trial version of lightroom and got it working on my new laptop. Is there a way to access the serial number from my previously installed version and insert it into the trail version to make it work for me?
Myron

Mea culpa
While i registered all my cs2 thru 6 versions and my lightroom 2 thru 4 versions and recorded the serials and saved the adobe registration emails. Since this came as a freebee with the camera i neglected this vital step. I have the instslled version on my old laptop but want to install it on my new one. Thanks to Jim Hess I got the serial so all is well in my world and I will register it with ADOBE

Photoshop CC Saving to network freezes sometimes

I have a coworker that sometimes has trouble saving to the Windows network from Photoshop CC on Windows 7 64-bit. The network is accessed through a mapped drive letter in Windows. The saving process will get stuck somewhere less than 50%, and he has to retry up to 5 times to get it to work.
I saw a post that said Photoshop CC has trouble saving to a network because it is constantly saving and renaming temporary files until it is finished with the saving operation.
How should we configure our network to accomodate Photoshop's behavior?
Off subject: I wish I could email Adobe support, like I can do with every other software company on Earth.

Photoshop Elements Help | Processing camera raw image files

This question was posted in response to the following article: http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop-elements/using/processing-camera-raw-image-files.html

gegjr wrote:
When I selected "Save Image" there is an option to select the size of the JPEG preview. Is there anyway to extract the JPEG and does the JPEG contain the adjustments that were made to the Raw image?
The "Save image" command just saves (really converts) the original raw into another raw format : the DNG format created by Adobe to get a universal raw format instead of a specific raw format for each camera in the range of each camera manufacters... Using that feature is your choice.
And what you see in the bottom line : 8 bits or 16 bits has nothing to do with a preview, it is the choice of 'color depth' for the image the converters sends to the editor.
So, your choice is either :
- to click 'Done' which saves the settings of your conversion (white balance, exposure, clarity...) to a very small 'sidecar' file of the xmp type
- to 'Open' in the editor where you can work with all features of the editor (which include saving the output file in any format - jpeg - psd - tiff - png...

Photoshop stopped saving "PNG" files

Hi All...
My photoshop stopped saving PNG files today. Weird!
I reinstalled my software, all disc's, and it still won't save. It says there is a 'program error".
Any one have any thoughts?
Thanks.

Please describe the process in more detail (including OS etc.).
Boilerplate-text:
Are Photoshop and OS fully updated and have you performed the usual trouble-shooting routines (trashing prefs by keeping command-alt-shift/ctrl-alt-shift pressed while starting Photoshop after making sure all customized presets like Actions, Patterns, Brushes etc. have been saved and making a note of the Preferences you’ve changed, 3rd party plug-ins deactivation, system maintenance, cleaning caches, font validation, etc.)?

Some kind of technical problems (like slow data processing)...

Some kind of technical problems (like slow data processing) with Leopard appears during the working in the local network.
OS Snow Leopard 10.6 is installed; including all updates, the computer I currently use is Mac Pro. So I have some kind of technical problems (like slow data processing) with Leopard during the working in the local network. (Windows network).
During the attempt to connect with network sharing (the computer is in the network) automounter process took approximately one minute.
Later on, after the automounter process is finished it’s working quite normally over remote computer, but when you try to automount again, everything starts from the very beginning.
The internet is working very well, it’s connected with domain, and everything is adjusted.
I use to ask our system administrator; maybe it is necessary to activate the some kind of protocol?
The OS Tiger is installed on the second hard disk, and it’s working well.
Maybe someone could help me, I try to find the similar problems, but I could not find them.
Thanks//

A couple of things.
First, thanks for the tips. I was starting to suspect the network might be an issue (bad nic, bad router, something).
But netstat -s was showing an average of about .15% packet loss. For a web server that seems to be a pretty good value so I'm not sure.
I did, however, ask someone else to look at the server because I'd spent the whole week on just server performance and was going out of my mind. This second pair of eyes really helped as he found that the pagefile for the server was set at 2mb!? Still trying to figure out how that happened. But we increased the pagefile to a much better value. There wasn't an immediate change in performance, but over time the server appears to have begun to respond better.
Occasionally I still get these 'lag spikes' but nowhere near what they were and the delay is much smaller as well, which is probably being caused by something else entirely (like bad programming on my part, hah).

SUPER SLOW connecting with PC server

I have three G4 Power Macs that are now connecting to a Dell Poweredge 2900 PC server. Trying to open files across the network from this server is EXTREMELY slow. A PC connected to this same configuration opens the files just fine. The files to be opened are Mac originated Quark and Adobe CS2 type files and range from small (200K) to Huge (100M). Even the tiny files take a long time.
What can I do to speed the connection?
What's the best way to have Mac files on a server and also automatically backed up to this PC server's tape drive? The information on the server is (and needs to be) backed up to a tape each night.
We also have noticed that files are duplicating themselves (sometimes) when saved to this server. Any ideas on why that is happening?
Thanks so much for your help!

Janet –
Are you on Tiger or an earlier version of OS X? Though most are not thrilled at the prospects of upgrading an OS, Tiger does play much better with Windows and I would recommend that OS as a minimum for connecting to a Windows environment. With that said here are some other things to try –
- Open a ‘Terminal’ session on your Mac and check the response times between your Mac and Server <ping –s 4096 xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx> where xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is the server IP. If your response times are greater than 2 ms then the problem could lie in your physical network. As a check I would run the same from a PC <ping xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx –l 4096>
- On the file server if enabled I would turn off (temporarily) any A/V and or firewall software you may have installed. (You may want to disconnect Internet access to your network when trying this test).
- Try/what happened when you move files between the Macs?
Also are the Macs in the Domain? Finally – I am not sure that MacDrive will solve your problem. It is primarily designed to allow PC’s to see Mac drives as Windows drives. Though I am not suggesting that it would not work I just think that your problem has more to do with server or network configuration.
One last thing I did a little checking you your Server and noticed that it is a dual NIC system. Are the NICs configured for failover? If so can you disable failover and then disable one of the NICs and see what happens? Also as this is a server I assume that the server has a static address as well? You may also want to assign your Mac static IPs as well – make sure to include both the DNS server as well as the WINS server (if installed) when configuring your IPs on the Macs.
Hope this helps –
