Photoshop CC - image edits very slow to update on monitor

I need some help...
I'm running Windows 7 Ultimate, 64 bit.  PC with i7-920 processor and 12 gb Memory,  Quadro FX-1800 graphics card.   Photoshop CC with all updates applied as of yesterday.
When I make edits to an image, it takes sometimes 10 seconds or more for the edit to occurr to the image on my monitor.  In bridge, when I label a file with a Color label, the color label does not show up for 10 to 20 seconds.
I'm not sure if I have some kid of cache problem, or what.   So far I've tried 'compressing cache" but it did not help.
I'm open to suggestions on what I can do to fix this.  The software is basically unusable in this state.
Thanks,
Tim

Check your Edit - Preferences - Performance settings.
Note:  Make changes methodically, and close and reopen Photoshop after making any change, to ensure you're testing with the updated settings.
1.  Make sure Cache Levels is set to 4 or more - I suggest 6. 
2.  In the GPU section, under [Advanced Settings...] try changing to one of the alternate Drawing Modes.
3.  Check the web site of the manufcaturer of your video card (in your case, nvidia.com) for an updated display driver for your operating system and hardware, and download/install if one has been released.
4.  Try resetting all Photoshop preferences to defaults by pressing and holding Control - Shift - Alt immediately upon cold-starting Photoshop.  You have to be quick to get the keys down, and if you are quick enough it will prompt to confirm deletion of your preferences, which will lead to creation of a new default set.
I don't know what you mean by "compressing cache", but it doesn't sound like anything I've ever heard that's restorative to Photoshop performance.

  • Adobe Photoshop CC2014 internet connection very slow

    Hi,
    I'm developing an Adobe Photoshop HTML5 (website) extension. This is working fine in Photoshop CC, but is very slow in CC2014.
    Today I've installed an update for Photoshop CC2014 and I was presented with an 'introduction' screen, loaded from the web.
    This had the same slowness, indicating my extension is not at fault.
    The regular functionality of Photoshop has a normal speed, and I'm working on a recent computer with Win 7 64bit.
    I've recorded a video showing how slow it really is (and proof that my internet connection has sufficient speed)
    http://videobam.com/gmNun
    How can I solve this?
    Thanks!

  • Mac mini 2010 very slow after update to Mavericks

    My mac mini 2010 (2.4 Ghz, 8GB ram) is running really very slow after updating to Mavericks.
    Clearly OneDrive is a pain... but had it running on ML as well, and though it is a memory and CPU hog, it never really slowed down the system.

  • ITunes is very slow when updating apps

    Since a few days iTunes is very slow when updating apps and downloading updates for iPad etc.
    Very often a download is ended with the message server reply time to long.
    I'm running the latest updated version of iTunes on an iMac mid-2010 with latest OS. I have some 3-4 GB out of 12 GB memory free and 70GB free out of 500 GB storage. I have measured my internet connection speed and it is very good 95-98 Mbit/sec.
    I can't see any obvious reason to why iTunes is so slow. Have anyone experienced this? Please help!

    Yes! I have the exact same issue. So I tried some things.
    I am on Uvese (via wifi) and was trying to update the apps on my PC via itunes. Taking FOREVER. So i tired it directly from my iPhone 6 via wifi - same issue. Then I turned off wifi on the iPhone and updated over (ATT) LTE. That worked great. I am thinking it is a Uverse/ATT issue at this point.

  • Ftp.belnet.be mirror very slow with updates

    The mirror that is closest to my location, ftp.belnet.be , seems to be very slow with updates for AL.
    XFCE4 was updated to 4.2.3 around nov 10 on archlinux.org.
    11 days later xfce4 4.2.2 is still on belnet , and not replaced by the new version.
    Since it's also a fast and reliable server, i don't mind waiting a few days, but more than a week is TOO long.
    What's the use of a bleeding edge distribution when you can't get updates that have been available for more than a week ?
    For now, i have fallen back on archlinux.org , but will look for another european server.

    In contrast with the name, that server doesn't seem to have ANY arch packages anymore.

  • I have a mac 15" non retina and i didn't upgrade it to mavericks .. when i run photoshop my pc becomes very slow and i don't know why!! the performance on photoshop is up to 70% so i think is good .. what is the problem?

    All I can suggest is that you open that file on the MBA and save it as a new file, then see if you can open the new one on the iMac.

  • Live Text Template - Very slow to update

    Started using Live Text Templates which in theory seem really great but they are SOOOOO slow to update.
    So I create a simple 5 sec title with two text elements which simply fade in at the start and fade out at the end. The back ground is plain colored shape.
    I put this in to premiere, open it in the source panel and update my two text elements
    I put this title into an empty timeline - if I move the play head over the clips in the timeline it can take up to 60 seconds before the clip shows the correct text
    I then change the text in the master clip (title).
    Going back to the time line it takes about 1-2 minutes before I can view the changes in the timeline - either by just putting the playhead over the clip or actually playing the timeline. It will either show a black frame or the previous text.
    If the sequence contains other content then after changing text in the master clip the whole timeline will just show a black frame in the program panel for about 30-60 seconds then I can view this other content but have to wait a further 30-60 seconds before I see the updated title text.
    Its very slow and far from live. Anyone know if there is something I can change somewhere to speed this up? What is happening behind the scenes to allow Premiere to effectively render out this titles? If I actually render the title in the timeline it only take a few seconds so no reason it should take so long for Premiere to do it in the background.

    Good question that I ask myself also, but not just updating Titles. Same time lag for updating a Photoshop image that sits inside Premiere, or updating an After Effects composition inside Premiere.
    Sometimes I think I can 'trick it' into speeding up by 'saving' the Premiere project, but then most times I think I am tricking myself.

  • Query designer formula editing very slow

    Hi Experts,
    deleting formula in the designer is very slow.
    for example :
    formula :  noerr(a/b)
    to add ndiv0 to this formula, i need to place the cursor at the right place and delete 1 character by 1 character. Each character takes about 1 second or more to get deleted and I have to wait for each character to be deleted before typing the 'delete' button again.
    Is there a way to speed things up? Its very unproductive when editing formulas.
    regards
    Bass

    unfortunately...this has always been slow on any system i've ever worked on. you can try to close all other applications (inclusing SAP) when using the designer...this might help ( a bit).

  • G4 Powerbook VERY slow since update

    I've been using Macs for many, many years and this one is just BIZARRE.
    I updated software this morning on my G4 Powerbook. The updates included the latest iTunes (7.4.2) and a compatibility update for QuickTime 7.2. During the update, my machine got VERY slow. Simple things like opening my documents folder took a minute or two (accompanied by the famous Apple Beach Ball). I had Safari, Graphic Converter and Software Update running, so I figured I was just taking on too many tasks at once. It took nearly fifteen minutes to quit Safari and GC and allow the update to run without competing for RAM or processor capacity. Eventually, SU finished, but it failed to update iTunes.
    Rebooting my computer took more than 45 minutes. Here is what I've tried since then to "unclog" my system:
    1. Checked HD space. I've used about 65% of my 80GB HD. Nowhere near empty, but should not cause the problems I'm experiencing.
    2. Launched Activity Monitor to see what's going on. Both RAM and Processor graphs fluctuated in the 25% used area. Plenty of capacity there. Also checked processes running to see if something undesirable was running in the background. No clue there, either.
    3. Launched Disk Utility and repaired permissions. Also launched Terminal and performed periodic daily, weekly, and monthly tasks, as well as updated prebindings. No noticable change there.
    My computer DOES still work. It just runs EXTREMELY slow motion. I've never seen anything like it. Right now, I'm trying to get the Powerbook to launch as the Firewire Target Disk on my G4 iMac. If that works, I can perform a sync in preparation to re-install the OS (I have the two machines synced already, but it's been a couple of weeks since the last one). Also, after the sync, I can try to run some diagnostics on the Powerbook from the iMac. However, rebooting in Target Disk mode has taken more than 2 hours so far. It's not locked up (still have the spinning startup circle on the blue backgroound) but I'm not getting anywhere fast.
    Anyway, I'm kind of at a loss here. Does anyone know what might cause this sort of bizarre behavior in my mac? Would love to know how I can fix it.

    My dad's laptop has the same problem. It takes 4 minutes to start it up. Then he gets the spinning beach ball a lot. The balls shows up when he types on the ichat or looking on the internet. I don't have all the symptoms since he is in Canada and I'm in Florida. I made him do the REPAIR PERMISSIONS and it didn't change anything.
    I would like to know about the BATTERY comment?? What does a BATTERY has to do with slowing down? I am not implying that it's wrong, I just don't understand it and I am curious about it.
    The laptop is about 4-5 years old and if there is a connection between SLOW and BATTERY I would like to know more.

  • Creating ImageIcon from Image is very slow

    Hi I have a program which reads a number of files which may contain (amongst other things) image data in various formats such as JPG.I read scale this down into an image object fine, and then I want to display a small version of it on screen so I put the scale dimage into an ImageIcon which i display later using a JLabel.
    Anyway it runs very slow , the funny thing is using JProbe Ive tracked the problem down to creation of the ImageIcon constructor, the actual thumbnail image creation is very quick.
    Why does ImageIcon take so long or is there a simple way of displaying the image in a Swing Application
    without using JLabel.
    BufferedImage bi = ImageIO.read(new DataInputStream(new ByteArrayInputStream(imageData)));
    Image thumbnaiImage = image.getScaledInstance(20,20Image.SCALE_FAST);
    ImageIcon thumbnail     = new ImageIcon(thumbnailImage);

    If you're not too picky about the image quality (and I see you're using SCALE_FAST), you can set the
    source subsampling on your ImageReadParam so that you never construct the large image: you start
    with the thumbnail.

            label.setVerticalTextPosition(SwingConstants.BOTTOM);

            if (dot == -1)
                throw new IOException("No . in " + path);
            return path.substring(1+dot);
    }It is also possible for there to be thumbnail images stored in an image file. (These thumbnails
    don't even have to be related to the main image.) ImageIO has methods to read these directly,
    so if you have control over your image files you can create them with thumbnails in place.

  • Pages very slow since update

    I'd read about people having trouble with some of the templates being very slow, but I've been noticing that ever since applying the update, typing in Pages is agonizingly slow on my computer. I'm working from blank templates, so it can't be something graphical, and using standard fonts like helvetica and Palatino. I've deleted prefs, etc. etc. and no improvement. It was fine before the update, although that may be coincidental.
    Is anyone else seeing this? A document is fine when I first open it, but within a few minutes it becomes incredibly slow. Any suggestions?

    Please remember that Keynote has been out for quite some time, and has several upgrades since it'sinception. Pages is still quite new, and has not had as much work done to it.
    That being said, I did find a lag in typing on my system, but only in a certain instance.
    If I create an entire document using the blank template, with several pages in the document (all blank) I find no text lag while typing on any of the pages.
    If I create a document with a relatively heavy-graphic template and create several pages with a mix and match of different styles (some text, some graphicky) I find that there is a definite slow down the closer you are to the top of the document. For instance, typing on page one is a lot slower than on the last page.
    Could it be that the text entry speed is based on where in the document you are typing? Comsidering this is basically the live update of a text-heavy xml document (and trust me, there is a lot of text in the xml document) this would stand to reason.
    I seem to remember there was a similar problem tying into Keynote in one of it's early generations. Since then it has been updated to fix some of those issues. I'm sure they are working on Pages as well.
    In the meantime, you probably wouldn't notice this if you were adding pages as you went, instead of adding all the pages and then inserting your text. Not the best workaround for some people, but it might be something to try.
    (my texts were done on a 800Mhz G4 ibook with the zoom set to fit on the page)
