Photoshop CS2 hogs RAM even when all the documents are closed.

Like the title says.  I was able to re-create the issue in this video: (nevermind, I guess I can't post links)
Long story short; after having documents open, I have to close Photoshop and re-open it to get my RAM back.
Why does this happen?
Thanks in advance!

The answer is given above; that is just how it works.  It shouldn't really affect your system performance much if you have enough virtual memory configured, and if you've not overdone it on the amount of RAM you allow Photoshop to use.
I just close Photoshop when I'm done using it.

  • My iPhone 4S register 3G data traffic even if all the app are closed

    My iPhone 4S registers 3G data traffic even if all the apps are closed: whenever I'm not under wi-fi I see the 3G icon lighted up whenever I go trough set icon, or calendar or message device...even if all these utilities doesn't require 3G data. If I just check mobile data consumption I see it increasing of few KB per time.
    I don't have neither push notifications nor location on, just I don't understand this phenomenon.
    Please...forgive me for my English...I'm writing from Italy and it's not so easy to explain what I'm talking about.

    I got...but whenever I open the setting icon, I see 3G becoming lit up and colored and..if I check "mobile data consumption" I can find out that this figure increases each time I check it...just going out and into again this section of the settings. Each time I send a message via SMS I see 3G icon colored and lit up again...even if I'm not using any data connection!!!!To avoid the problem I shut down mobile data conncetion when I don't need it and when I'm not under wi-fi...so I can't tell how much is the 3G traffic data generated during one day.
    Just I wanted to understand if there's a different method to avoid it...

  • Why does CS6 not clear the scratch disk when all the images are closed?

    The scratch disk fills up as I edit and I need to close CS6 to empty the directory.
    THe result is that everything slows down!!
    Anyway this can be fixed?

    It behaves as designed to support history-related features and a few other things. if you want to free things up, use Edit --> Purge.

  • Confused why my video exports at 640x480 when all the clips are 1280x720

    All of my clips are from a canon 7d shot at 1280 60fps mostly surfing so I can slow it down. I added one clip which is at 640 to the project and when I exported the project in H.264 or any other setting it is only at 640. So I went back removed the clip and tryed to export again and it still only does 640 even though all the clips are now at 1280. I would hate to have to edit all over again. Thanks for any help.

    Thanks I realized I can click the wrench at the bottum right of the inspector box and change the properties back to 1280 so that helped but I couldn't change the FPS they are stuck on 30 not the end of the world. I think I must have accidently put a 640 clip as the first clip when I dropped into the timeline and even though I deleted it, it kept everything at that setting . It would be nice if you could change the properties after the fact.

  • How can you reinstall SL on a older mini, I just upgraded to Lion .Since I downloaded it, I made a disk copy for the future  when all the kinks are work out. But would really like to go back to SL for now. I tried my reinstall disk, which didn't work.

    I have an older Mac mini  using SL as my last upgrade and really like it.. Just last week I upgraded to Lion, and do not like it,,,I would like to reinstall SL but do not know how to go about it,,,I did burn a copy of Lion and will reinstall it when all the kinks are worked out..Can someone tell me how uninstall Lion and reinstall SL.....Thx

    Downgrade Lion to Snow Leopard
    1.  Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer Disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button.  When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
    2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area.  If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing.  SMART info will not be reported  on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
    4. Quit DU and return to the installer. Install Snow Leopard.
    This will erase the whole drive so be sure to backup your files if you don't have a backup already. If you have performed a TM backup using Lion be aware that you cannot restore from that backup in Snow Leopard (see below.) I suggest you make a separate backup using Carbon Copy Cloner 3.4.1.
    If you have Snow Leopard Time Machine backups, do a full system restore per #14 in Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions.  If you have subsequent backups from Lion, you can restore newer items selectively, via the "Star Wars" display, per #15 there, but be careful; some Snow Leopard apps may not work with the Lion files.

  • When using Tab Groups, is less power/memory used or is it the same as when all the tabs are opened in the task bar?

    When using Tab Groups, is less power/memory used or is it the same as when all the tabs are opened in the task bar?

    it's just another View for your tabs which needs less *space* in the taskbar, but same *memory* of your computer.
    exception: if you (re)start FF and restore the last session (with lots of tabs/groups) there is an option in FF-Settings to load the (content of the) tabs only as soon as they are clicked, and not as soon as FF starts. That trick saves memory.

  • How to remove event listener when all the MoviClip are off the stage

    Hi i am newbie to as3,
        I am creating animation using as3 in which i duplicate the circle ten time,then pushing into an array and giving random motion. When all the duplicate object goes outside the stage then i should remove the event listener. But right now when one duplicate object goes off the stage the event listener is removed. Thanks in advance

    PLEASE HELP ME!!!!
    WAITING FOR YOUR RECOMMENDATIONS...

    According to Apple support, you cannot remove the phone on the device list under "find my iphone" until you turn it off and it goes offline.  (It also says the device will go back on "find my iphone" when it goes online again, which seems to mean you can successfully remove it, but as soon as you turn it back on it will be back on the list, and thus you will not be able to restore it.)  It's a bit of a conundrum.  In my case I couldn't for some reason turn off my phone  with the home/sleep buttons - nothing happens, the phone stays on.  While on a chat with Apple support, they got my iphone offline (I was able to turn it off by pressing the sleep button and swiping where the red "turn off iphone" arrow would have appeared) and removed it from "find my phone", but when I reconnected to itunes it turned on and reappeared in the "find my phone" list.  Luckily, the screen suddenly appeared (it had done this several times yesterday, just briefly), so I was able to turn off "find my device" from the phone.  I was then able to restore.  Unfortunately, this does not answer the question of how to remove the device from "find my iphone" and keep it off while connecting with itunes to restore (unless you have my good fortune of having the screen suddently reappear).  Apple support seemed puzzled that it had reappeared on the device list under "find my iphone".  Time will tell whether the restoration fixes the blank screen issue.

    My guess is that someone was trying to protect the system properties and then they wanted to add on the top of that. Thus they came up with that idea.Yeah, I was thinking that too. I bet you are right.
    But Properties exposes no API to restore defaults to the current instance. If some key/value gets "overwritten" by a put in the current instance, shadowing a key/value in defaults, there is no way to bring the default value back to the foreground except by deleting key (and thus restoring visibility to defaults).Err...although true I doubt it is relevant.
    Consider.
    1. Something grabbed a property value before you did anything. Nothing you do will change that. I suspect most VM stuff works this way.
    2. Something grabbed the properties and kept a reference. Nothing you do will change that.
    3. You changed it, so why would you want the other value?
    4. Deleting it does restore it.
    Given the above what situation from that do you think is relevant to your question? Or is there some other situation that you are considering?

  • TS2446 I have been through all of the settings & done what was indicated however, my Apple ID that shows on my iphone when I want to update my apps is incorrect even though all the settings are correct in Settings/Store. Now what can I do???

    The Apple ID on my iPhone is incorrect when trying to update apps.  It is correct in my Settings.  I have signed out & signed back on & this does not make any difference.  I have also changed my password and that doesn't help.  HOW can I correct the incorrect Apple ID that only shows when I try to update apps?? I would appreciate help!  THANKS!

    Even if you put a credit or debit card on file with iTunes it will still use your balance FIRST.
    I would suggest putting a card on file and testing to see if it will allow you to make a purchase, then removing the card from the account after successful download of an item.

  • HT201272 all of music downloads in my library show a exclamation point prior to the check box, when i try to click the song, it says unable to locate even though all the preferences are saying it's there. where is my music? please help

    I was trying to sync my ipod and for whatever reason my iTunes wasn't recognizing my ipod anymore and asked if I wanted to erase it and basically start over.  So I said yes, thinking it would then put my music library back on my ipod, but instead now it shows all my music but it won't play or sync.  When I try to play any song, it says it can't be located and asks if I would like to locate it, but I still can't find it!  I've had to go into the iTunes store and redownload songs and that works.  But I would really like to just locate my library wherever it is in my computer.  Help!

    I'm in the same boat...so far no one has helped here
