Photoshop CS5 lag... anyone else?

After installing Photoshop CS5 extended on my Mac Pro 2.8ghz Quad, I've noticed a 5-10 second lag when opening or creating a new image. Basically what happens, is when creating or opening an image, Photoshop freezes for 5-10 seconds before being able to do anything, click on a tool, menu, etc.
Never had this problem with any previous version of Photoshop.
What is intereting too, is if I run a batch operation on a folder of images with CS5, there is no lag in opening the image, performing whatever task, and completing the batch.
Does anyone else have this problem, and/or have a solution?

I just bought the Nikon D750 and my raw files will not open in CC Photoshop. Is anyone else that has this camera experienced this problem?

I just bought the Nikon D750 and my raw files will not open in CC Photoshop. Is anyone else that has this camera experienced this problem?
My Photoshop says it is up to date, but I am hoping that since this camera just came out, Adobe will have an raw file update soon.

DNG Converter is FREE. Yes, really. No subscription needed.
- Baloney, NOT FREE, it's a proprietary software, not open AT ALL, see Legal Notices, so stop trying to distort the truth here.
Camera Raw (& DNG Converter) 8.7RC has been available since 2nd October, and opens D750 files in Photoshop & Bridge (& Lightroom using DNG Converter).
Adobe Photoshop Camera Raw 8.7 Release Candidate | digital camera raw file support - Adobe Labs
- Still a cumbersome process for this of us that PAID for software and support, the whole point of this discussion is to implement this directly on LR, so we, the PAYING users don't have to waste time doing a useless process that could be EASILY AVOIDED ig Adobe released updates as they are needed, or if they OPENED THE SOURCE CODE so the community could do it.
Adobe created DNG, which is a well-documented backwards-compatible format, which is free for any manufacturer to use.
See here for manufacturers who do (it's an old list, but you get the idea):
http://www.barrypearson.co.uk/articles/dng/products_cameras.htm
- Really? Did you actually read the site? It has PRECIOUS information that illustrate my point: Adobe DNG is an attempt to stop the OpenSource community from achieving the goals of OpenRaw, which is TRUE OPENNESS, Again, Adobe is trying to get manufacturers to PAY LICENSING so they use a PROPRIETARY FORMAT that will HOLD CUSTOMERS on a PAID platform. OpenRaw is he answer for a true competitive environment.
Ask yourself why other manufacturers don't use a documented backwards-compatible format.
- Easy, because they are lazy and want kick-back. The SAME answer that I (and the entire OS community) would give if you asked about Acrobat or MS Office.
If you use a particular piece of software as your main tool, and you buy a camera which isn't yet supported by it, it's your problem. There is an expression used in the industry:
"Poor Planning on your part does not constitute an Emergency on my part."
- I agree here, it's MY PROBLEM that I decided to have a better product, it was my choice. I can still use OS Tools, which will be what I do moving forward, and about that expression, that is EXACTLY why Adobe will keep loosing customers, because the sense of urgency to help who pays their bills is inexistent. You are correct, why should they rush something so simple to help a customer right? Screw the customer... Thanks for making my point...

Adobe Photoshop CS5 Lag

Hi,
Every time I open Adobe Photoshop CS5, the program lags. Whenever I click on File, Edit, Select, View, Window, etc., my mouse lags and the availability of the menus even took longer than expected (all were gray). How do I fix this? This is so annoying.
Thanks.

Could be a plugin...

FLV and F4V encoding bug in Encoder CS5.5; anyone else has seen it?

I am using Media Encoder CS5.5 (exact version info: 5.5.0.212 64-bit). When I encode to FLV (or F4V), I get occasional segments where the screen goes bright red with a scattering of pixel groups. These may range from a few frames to several seconds or more. I have gotten this bug both from loading originals generated from Final Cut Pro Quicktime exports into Encoder, AND from going directly from Premiere Pro CS5.5 to an FLV export. I do not get this bug when I encode the same files in Encoder CS5. Has anyone else seen this problem?

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Photoshop CS5 lags, but other programs run fine

I installed the CS5 Creative Suites onto my eMachines E525 latpop. It came with 2 GB of RAM but I upgraded it to 4 GB.
Harddrive is at 165GB free of 220GB.
Processor is Intel Celeron CPU 900 @ 2.20 GHz, 2194Mhz, 1 Core, 1 Logical Processor
All the other programs in the suite run fine. The only problem I'm having is with Photoshop. Whenever I use a tool, it lags. If I use any of the shape tool, as I drag it out, it lags. Same goes for the brush tool and any other tool that I use. Efficiency is at 100% whenever I have a document open, but the tools still drag. Even on a blank 500x500 document at 72 dpi lags.
I've looked through the Optimize Photoshop Perfomance page, and I've done all that I know I can do, and it still lags.
I turned off OpenGL Drawing, Let Photoshop use 2385MB (70%). I've changed it to let it use more, but that doesn't help.
I installed Photoshop, InDesign, Illustrator, Dreamweaver, and Flash Catalyst from the Suite.
I also have Norton 360.
Is Norton causing Photoshop to be slow or is it something else?
Is there anything I can do to fix the lag or do I need to make more upgrades to my laptop?

What display interface is in that laptop (e.g., a nVidia model, Intel model, etc.)?
The OpenGL implementation in the video driver can have a drastic effect on the performance. Have you tried the following as a diagnostic?
Edit - Preferences - Performance.
Uncheck [ ] Enable OpenGL Drawing.
Close and restart Photoshop.
If after doing the above you see the lag problem eliminated, you might want to check with your laptop maker (or in rare cases the video interface maker) to see if any updated display drivers have been released. Many OpenGL problems have been corrected in recent driver releases.
Make sure you re-enable OpenGL after changing drivers to see if the highest performance is now available to you.
You could also try keeping OpenGL enabled but going into the [Advanced Settings...] and changing to Basic mode.

Maps not working in Organiser (Photoshop Elements 9) - anyone else have the same issue?

Can you assist? Already uninstalled and reinstalled

Hi,
I'm afraid that PSE 9 used the Yahoo service for maps and Yahoo stopped that service so mapping no longer worked in PSE 9.
PSE 10 didn't even have mapping in it.
In PSE 11, mapping is back, using Google maps.
You might like to download the trial version of PSE 11 to see if you like the mapping there.

Photoshop cs6 lags very badly

Hi there,
I've got Photoshop cs6 13.0.6. x64 and it has turned very slowly, perhaps after I installing Maverics, but now I've installed Yosemite version 10.10.1
The info of MacBook Pro:
- 2,4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
- 8 GB 1067 MHz DDR3
- NVIDIA GeForce 320M 256 MB
- Photoshop is using 79% of available Ram. Cache level 1, animated zoom disabled.
The Problem:
Photoshop doesn't react with my shortcut keys, like if I want to undo by typing cmd +z, nothing happens. I have to do it again, then it might work. Usually I have to point somewhere in the art board and then press cmd+z. The same thing with the other commands, like v, e, b etc. Then it's slowing a lot, even if I'm doing with a low resolution. Last time I was doing a pixel art in 50x50px sized art board and photoshop started lagging and showing "spinning color wheel". During that it was not responding to anything and It took approximately 2min. Then photoshop worked for a few minutes before it started spinning the same color wheel. Other programs do work fine during that. This same thing happens every time when I'm using photoshop.
Has anyone else the same problem? I've tried to look answers on forums but those weren't leading anywhere. I'm also using Illustrator cs6 and it's working really well, no lagging and recognises shortcut keys too. No problems with that.
Thank you in advance.

How do I get clipping paths to work in PhotoShop CS5?

I've always used clipping paths to pull-out parts of images that I then save as eps files and bring into other images.
For some reason, I can't get CS5 PS to capture only the path I created, instead it continues to capture the entire image.
I normally create a path with the pen tool, save the path, identify it with the Clipping Path from the dropdown, then save out as an EPS. Has worked thousands of times for me in previous versions of PhotoShop, but not with CS5.
Anyone else encounter this problem or have a solution?

Ok, I did that but it's still reacting the same way. So I need to start from scrtach and build a new path? That can't b
e. When I make the change and hit selection I am still getting an inverted selection. See.

How to group swatches in Photoshop CS5?

in illustrator, you can create swatch folders, so you can find different combinations easily,
but how can i do it in photoshop cs5?
anyone know?

Gosh, I wish this was possible!
Also, it would be great to be able to add a 'line break' to the swatches so you can start a new group on a new line.
OR at least as a fall back allow multiple swatch panels to be open... so the default swatches can remain in place and I can have a floating panel specific to the document i'm working on.
Hopefully in CS6!?

Vanishing Point Filter Always Crashes Photoshop CS5 - Anyone else have this problem?

19 out of 20 times I use the vanishing point filter in PS CS5, it ends up crashing the program. This usually happens when I try to adjust the angle of a new plane. Does anyone else have this problem? I need to use this feature for my job. Are there any alternative filters or programs I could use instead, or could I somehow fix the plugin?

Someone reported this way back around when PS CS5 was first released I think. I don't find the thread but as I recall the advice at the time was to update the display driver on the system... Visit the web site of the maker of your video card (e.g. nvidia.com or ATI.com) and download/install the latest driver release that matches your hardware and operating system.

Adobe Photoshop CS5 (Windows 7) Lagging Brushes & Tools

What I'm Using:
- Toshiba F60 Qosmio Laptop w/ Windows 7
- Adobe Photoshop CS5 (64 bit)
Hey Everyone,
I'm having an issue with my new Adobe Photoshop CS5 (64 bit) installed on my Brand new Laptop (Toshiba F60 Qosmio). Basically I have optimized via the Edit > Preferences > Performance menu in Photoshop CS5 but Im still having major issues with my Brushes, Patch, etc. Tools lagging while using them. When you enable the tool and use it, it will be atleast 0.5 - 1.0 Seconds behind the movement of the cursor. My Laptop is brand new and fully optimized for graphic design and seems to run every other application seamless. Adobe Photoshop launches quick and smoothly but once using the tools it has the same lag time.
Does anyone know what I can do to fix this? Its driving me nuts and really cutting into my work schedule.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Darren

Hi Chris,
I will definitely give that a try. I had a tech set up my computer after i purchased it less than a week ago but it is a possibility that he missed it. I will try and run an update this weekend and see if that increases the speed when OpenGL is enabled. I will get back to you on the issue in the next few days.
Thanks for your insight and helpful suggestion.
Much appreciated.

Photoshop cs5 is spiking ram use and lagging

When I open Photoshop CS5 its sitting idle with nothing open and still using 330,000 MB of ram.
After opening a simple file, fairly small, 40 MB. It jumps its ram use to almost 2 gigs. It then lags very badly when I try to save taking almost 10 min to save a 40MB file. What is going on? I have 4 gigs of ram. Suggestions?

function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}

330 MB maybe. Not out of the ordinary. This is not svelte software.

Not sure what you mean by "40 MB"... How big is the file in pixels and on disk as a .psd file? Does it have a lot of layers?
A file with a lot of layers can take a long time to save, though 10 minutes is rather excessive.
I did as you said and opened a 40 MB .psd file containing one layer, and Photoshop's commit size went up to 1 GB. Not too surprising.
You can probably adjust Photoshop's memory usage in the Edit - Preferences - Performance menu and get better performance. If you're running a 32 bit operating system you won't be able to use all 4 GB though. Photoshop drives a lot of people up to using an x64 operating system.
Make sure you shut down and restart Photoshop after making RAM option changes.
What else do you have running on your system? Is the RAM being used up by other apps?

Photoshop CS4 does not recognize raw photos taken with newer cameras. Anyone else have this problem?

Photoshop CS4 will not recognize RAW2 photos taken with my new Panasonic Lumix FZ100 camera. This camera is listed in Adobe's 6.2 Camera Raw update for Photoshop CS5 but cannot be loaded in CS4. I paid a lot of money for CS4 and don't want to buy CS5 just because I bought a new camera, but it appears that Adobe no longer updates Camera Raw for CS4 or with newer cameras. When I called the Help Desk to find out if there was some kind of patch I could get to make CS4 compatible with my new camera a gentleman in New Delhi informed me that he couldn't even answer my question until I paid $40 since answering questions about CS4 was a "paid service." I hung up in a rage. Does anyone else have this problem and is there a solution?

This camera is listed in Adobe's 6.2 Camera Raw update for Photoshop CS5 but cannot be loaded in CS4.
Adobe does indeed not update obsolete versions of Camera Raw for new camera types.
And guess what: It’s the camera producers who seem to like to change their raws – so how about spreading some of your indignation their way?
I paid a lot of money for CS4 and don't want to buy CS5 just because I bought a new camera
The upgrade is cheaper than buying the full version.
Anyway, you could try the free DNG Converter which should be able to handle everything the most recent version of Camera Raw can handle.

Has anyone else encountered problems with Adobe CMM clobbering Photoshop add-in filters?

I recently tried to install Adobe CMM, as a pop-up window suggested after I installed Photoshop CS5 on a new computer, running Win7x64 Ultimate. Before trying to install CMM, my Akvis Sketch Plug-In for Photoshop worked fine. Afterwards, Akvis Sketch runs under the filters menu, but will not accept mouse clicks from my Wacom tablet. Prior to Adobe CMM, all was fine. Somehow, the frustrating attempt to use Adobe CMM broke links to Akvis Sketch.
By the way, Adobe CMM setup tried to run and vanished without a trace - no indication of success or failure. CMM doesn't show on my control panel as installed software, so I can't de-install it.
I did un-install Akvis Sketch and re-install it. No luck as a filter, nor as a stand-alone program.
Additional point of interest - a second identical software/hardware workstation continues to run Akvis Sketch just fine because we didn't try installing Adobe CMM on that machine. It certainly looks like CMM is the culprit here.
Since Akvis Sketch is broken as a stand-alone, I doubt that de-activating, uninstalling and then re-installing, re-activating Photoshop CS5 will help, but it will take a lot of time to recreate actions and re-install other add-ins, plus preferences settings.
Has anyone else encountered problems with Adobe CMM clobbering Photoshop add-in filters, and have you found a work-around?

Thanks for your response. Recent evidence points to Wacom's tablet driver, not the plug-in.
Fact #1 - another identical system with ms mouse worked fine so I swapped out the Wacom tablet and bingo, the Akvis plug-in works again.
Fact #2 - So does Amazon's Kindle for PC app, which also quit working after running the Adobe CMM setup I'd downloaded.
Suggestion - since there's a legacy for CS5 users getting the "you should download CMM" pop-up, yet no need to do this, maybe Adobe should remove the CMM download page from its website - or flag this download as unneccessary for photoshop users. All Best, Charles Pierce.
