Photoshop CS5 - Surface Blur Problem

Hello ... I have Photoshop CS5 and when I run Filter>Surface Blur, it takes about 27 minutes to execute - I would say that is WAY TOO LONG EH!
I have an iMac with 8gb of memory, I have 600gn of free space, 70% of memory (5400nb) allocated to photoshop.
Something is not right - what should I check next?

You don't say the pixel dimensions of the image, the bit depth of the image or the filter settings. 27 minutes could be a typical time for an enormous 16-bit image with the filter settings cranked up. Consider providing full details.

  • Photoshop CS5 and 3D problem

    Hi!
    I installed photoshop CS5 Extended and unfortunatelly the 3D menu options are all grayed out.
    My graphic card: ATI Radeon HD 3600
    I enabled the OpenGL drawing. In the Preferences menu the 3D panel was active after i turned on the OpenGL drawing, but everytime I want to use some 3D feature the program tells that  - for example: "The command create 3D from 2D is not currently available." OR "The command create repoussé from layer mask is not currently available."
    I don't know what could be the problem or maybe I need better graphic card?

    Hi, for some strange reason all of the 3D menus in my CS5 extended are not displayed on my workstation but up and active on my laptop and I just cannot find the reason why. I have a Radeon 4870HD 1GB DDR5 and have downloaded the latest drivers including open gl3.2 but it makes no difference, have you any idea would could be wrong.
    I have looked in Menus and all of the data is there but it just wont display on the menu bar, its driving me nuts!
    Many thanks David

  • Photoshop CS5 - Image resize problem with move tool

    Hi People
    Here's my problem
    When I try to resize an layer using the move tool (as opposed to the Free Transform tool), while I'm in the process of moving the scaling handles, the bounding box reflects my movement but the layer preview stays at it's original size. When I stop moving the handles there is a few seconds delay and then the new scale size shows up. If I try to move the handles again, without commiting to the transform, the layer preview reverts back to it's original size until I've finished moving the handles.
    I didn't have this problem with CS4 and I've only recently upgraded. I work around this problem by using the proper Free Transform tool (ctrl+t) but it would be nice to know why the hell this happens. It seems to me to be more of a graphical glitch than a software preference but I thought I'd check just-in-case.
    Specs:
    Photoshop CS5 V12.1 x64
    PC
    Intel Xeon W3505 @2.53GHz
    Nvidia Quadro FX580

    I also read you you tried updating your video dirvers and your syste crashed and you had to roll back.   Make sure you have downloaded the latest correct drivers. If that does not work try turning off Open GL in photoshops preferences.
    On my old XP 32 bit system CS5 movet tool with transform dialog does not fail like on your system. I can move the handles time and time again without commiting the transform. The only way to have Photoshop revert the transform back to the original state is to press the ESC key to cancel the uncommitted transform.

  • ACR to Photoshop CS5 window focus problem.

    Running Photoshop CS5 on Win7, both 64 bit. No problems for months, then recently this minor "annoyance" appeared.
    I "host" ACR via Bridge, with the windows for all three apps maximized. I double-click a raw file in Bridge and ACR opens. I make my ACR adjustments, or not, and click "Open Image" to pass to Photoshop.
    The images passes into Photoshop OK, but the Photoshop window does not receive "focus". Instead, the ACR window closes, leaving the underlying Bridge window displayed. But then no window has focus.
    When I click once on the Photoshop tab, I get a screen flicker, like a window is being minimized, but the Bridge window remains displayed. I click again on the Photoshop tab and it comes up, full screen with focus.
    If I take the ACR window out of "maximized" mode, the problem does not occur. Raw images pass from Bridge through ACR to Photoshop with proper window focus. Opening tif, psd, or jpeg images via Bridge is no problem. Only when raw images pass through a maximized ACR window does Photoshop fail to receive focus.
    A few days ago I used the Windows 7 "snap" feature to place the Photoshop window and ACR window side-by-side. This is done by dragging a window off-screen until it turns blue and then releasing. I believe this action caused the problem I'm having now. I've unsnapped, resnapped, and unsnapped the Photoshop and ACR windows several times, hoping to clear the problem, but it remains.
    Keeping the ACR window out of maximized mode is an easy work around, but the mystery remains and I hate mysteries.

    I know how you feel, I've had a few problems like this with CS5. I can only think of two suggestions:
    1. Disable Windows 7's fancy desktop (Aero peek, or whatever it's called) to see if that helps.
    2. Make sure you're sorting by filename in Bridge. I have noticed that sorting by metadata causes Bridge to sometimes steal focus when it's not wanted. I love Bridge, but christ it needs a good sorting out.

  • How to always show rulers in Photoshop CS5 and other problems

    Does anyone know how to make Photoshop CS5 always show rulers in mac? I have not have this issue with any other PS. I need the rulers to drag guides contantly, but photoshop cs5 would not show the rulers automatically. Everytime I have to go to View --> Show rulers or the shortcut command + R. Is there a way to instruct Photoshop to always show rules with any file I open or create?
    I have many other issues with Photoshop CS5 that CS2, 3, and 4 had out of the box... It is very frustrating that I spent all this money and instead of working, I have been on the phone with Adobe for hours... I am very disappointed so far.
    I have had CS5 Master's Collection for 2 months now on Mac 10.6.7. I have reinstalled Photoshop 3 times as some shortcuts were not working like shift plus scroll to inscrease to 100%, 200%, etc.
    The other thing that still does not work and Adobe has not offered a solution is that my Photoshop would not append extensions. Regardless of the Preferences settings, all my files get saved as JPG instead of jpg... I wonder if any of you out there have this issue as well?
    Thank you.

    I believe my computer and its account are healthy. I just bought the mac pro with solid state and the only programs I have installed are the Master Collection CS5.
    I have good news though - After two months of waiting, I was finally able to speak with Adobe specialists yesterday and they changed the shortcut for Save As that Photoshop ships with from Command + Alt + S to Command + Shift + S - and miraculously now Photoshop appends extensions!!!
    However, my question about always displaying rulers remains. We got disconnected and I didn't have a chance to ask them (I was on hold for an hour and a half!)

  • Photoshop cs5 upgrade installation problem

    I just purchased a Photoshop cs5 upgrade (upgrading from cs2).  There were no instructions with the disk. I put the disk in my pc's DVD-ROM drive, and the computer started reading it, but nothing appeared on my monitor. The computer stopped reading the disk after a short time period. There was never any indication, on the monitor screen, that anything was installing, or had installed. My pc's os is Windows XP professional, and it appears to satisfy system requirements. I have eset smart security 5 installed on this pc. How can I get this upgrade to install?

    If the Autorun option is disabled (and it frequently is because of security concerns) the setup program will not launch automatically on inserting the disk.
    Use Windows Explorer to see the contents of the disk. Double-click on the .exe file to launch the setup wizard. Follow the onscreen instructions there on.

  • Photoshop CS5 Printing Preset Problem

    I am trying to print from Photoshop CS5 to a Konica Bizhub c451 printer that uses account tracking and user authentication.  But, when attempting to print from photoshop CS5 the printer preset doesn't have the same options (doesn't allow us to put in owner information) as the other CS5 products.  For example I am able to print from Illustrator CS5 but not Photoshop CS5.  I am also able to print from Photoshop CS3 on the same computer but not CS5.  Any ideas?

    Get a updated driver that supports application running in 64bit mode, or a new printer with drivers that supports application running in 64bit mode.

  • Photoshop CS5 Print Printing problem: print count and print to ICC profile

    Since Adobe still haven't acknowledge the printing issue with CS5, I start this thread to report my own problems.
    Problem 1:
    print copy count is not working. The first print is always one print regardless how many copies you set in the dialog window. The next print will actually print the copies set in the previous print job.
    This is a well documented problem, and until today no fix.  I am not too worried about this problem because I can always print one copy each time to get job done, until the day Adobe acknowledge and fix the problem.
    Problem 2:
    when I let the Photoshop manage color and print to a custome ICC profile (generated by Spyer3Print), Photoshop RANDOMLY decides to print a light colored magenta cast picture.  It's like Photoshop has used the wrong ICC.  Now every time I print a 13x19, I have to pray.  Because this thing is so random, I can't even reproduce the problem consistantly.
    here's the information about my system:
    Windows 7 Ultimate 64Bit (not a fresh system) with 8GB RAM.  Printer drivers installed: Canon Pro9000II, Canon MP600, Epson 1400.
    I experience problem 2 after I installed CS5 with Epson 1400 printer, but not too frequent.  Later on I installed drivers for Epson R1800, Epson R2400, and I mainly print with R2400.    All the printer drivers, software updates are the lastest available.
    I was a software developer. I wrote windows application before. I am pretty sure the problem is with CS5 based on my knowledge.  If I wrote an Windows application that crashs Windows or another party's appliction, I certainly would not blame Microsoft or another party for not writing a bulletproof system. I would try to find a workaround in my own application.  That's just my take. Adobe may have different mind set. They are still pointing finger to MS and Epson.

    I don't condone the problems, but a workaround I've recently read about for the copy count problem is to do the following, in order:
    1.  Set the copy count you want.
    2.  Click the Print Settings... button to enter the printer driver setup dialog.
    3.  [OK] out.
    4.  Print
    This is reported to get the proper copy count into the print driver and make it "stick".  I just tried it and it seems to work.
    Keep in mind you may want to go through this again after printing to get the copy count to default back to 1 for the next print.

  • Photoshop CS5 64bit Directory Problem

    I have recently tried re-loading my CS5 (64bit) software on to Windows 7 (64 bit)
    My problem is that CS5 ALWAYS loads into the 'Program Files' Directory and not the correct one 'Program Files (x86).  This is depsite me altering the various areas to direct the loading to the correct area.
    Bridge CS5 ALWAYS goes into the correct directory.
    I have tried everything that I can think of to sort this out.  The only thing left is to format the HDD and start again!!!!!!
    Can anyone help correct this problem??

    That was a mis-understanding on my part; this has now been corrected. I am
    new to 64bit!!
    The problem started when the attached message came up.  Irrespective of
    where Photoshop is loaded this message comes up and Photoshop will not
