Photoshop CS6 Running Slooooow

I am so deeply frustrated with PS CS6 right now.  I bought the Master Suite through school.  I also bought a 27-inch, late 2012 iMac with 3.2 GHz i5 and 32GB of Ram.  Everything on my computer runs lightning fast except for CS6.  Even older PS runs fine.  I've tried resetting my SMC, playing with the Performance pane, nothing is working.  It's useably slow. 
Any ideas?  I use CS6 at school and work.  It's just my home that I'm having the issue.

Are you saying it works at school?  What would be different?

    Photoshop cs6 running extremely slow on opening a file. have reset prefs and set type to none. have to force quit  most of the time.

    I'm experiencing the same trouble.  Photoshop takes 5 minutes to open then runs fine.
    I recently bought a new iMac AND updated to Adobe Master Collection CS6.  My concern is that PhotoShop now takes 5 minutes to open. The Photoshop desktop pops up immediately, but the moment you click on a tool or try to open a file (no matter the size) results in the spinning wheel for five minutes before you can do anything.  After that, Photoshop appears to work fine.
    What I’ve done:
    Ran Adobe updater
    Reset Photoshop Preferences
    Validated all fonts and removed any trouble fonts
    Ran the font test
    Set font preview size to none
    Cleared the Photoshop type cache and system cache
    Disabled Symantec Endpoint
    Tried running with the GPU processor on/off and in basic
    Tried opening Photoshop with optional third party plug-ins turned off (still took five minutes but this time I didn’t even get the Photoshop desktop view until AFTER the five minutes)
    I’m wondering since I migrated the files form my old computer (and older versions of Master Collection) did something get corrupted.

  • Photoshop CS6 running slow after installation of Mac OS 10

    Hi there,
    I'm new to this forum and I hope that someone can help me with this. Photoshop, Bridge and Lightroom worked just as they should until I stupidly decided to upgrade from Mountain Lion to Yosemite. Since then Photoshop CS6 is running terribly slow, not while opening files but while editing them. Shortcuts are not being accepted, I have to klick on the tool I want to use, not even cmd+z works reliable. Some tools like the spot healing brush are working absurd slow. It taks me about five times longer to edit.
    Has anyone experienced something similar?
    Thanks for any help!
    MacBook Pro (Retina mid 2012), 2,6 GHz, 8GB, SSD, Nivida GeForce GT 650M 1024 MB

    Just talked to Apple support (90 days free for OS 10.10.1), and booting in save mode and rebooting afterwards solved already A LOT of problems.

  • Brand New Machine and Photoshop CS6 running very slow

    I just installed Photoshop CS6 on my new Machine and it is running horrible. Moving around objects, turning effects on/off, zooming, and more all take for ever to render.  I can not figure out why. I have updated video card drivers and more. Scratch Disk is set to a second disk and messed with all of the GPU settings. Only photoshop runs bad on this machine. I should not be having issues with the system. Below is the system info from Photoshop. Also this machine is running with two SSD drives which should make PS run even faster.

  • Photoshop CS6 Running Slow After GPU/RAM/CPU Upgrade?

    Hi all,
    I recently upgraded my Mac Pro 1,1 with the following:
    CPU Upgrade to 2 x 2.66GHz Quad Core
    RAM Upgrade to 14GB
    GFX Upgrade to ATI Radeon HD 5770 1024mb VRAM
    Everything seems fine. My temperatures are normal and things are seemingly speedy.
    My problem is that Photoshop CS6 seems to run a little slow. I'm only working on web files (72dpi) that are yes, sometimes quite long in length (5000px high), but that has never been an issue.
    Some problems I've noticed:
    When I click to edit text, it may take 2 seconds before I can start editing it
    When I scroll upwards it chugs a little
    If I grab an object/shape and drag it around too quick, it might lag a little
    I'm not sure how to explain it really, but for the couple hundred dollars I spent on upgrading my maching, I wouldn't expect any of these things to be an issue.
    Here are my photoshop performance settings:
    Any suggestions would help. No trolls please.

    Something to try:  Reset Photoshop's preferences to defaults.
    Press and hold Command - Shift - Option immediately upon cold-starting Photoshop.  If you get the keys down quickly enough - and you have to be very quick - you'll get a prompt asking you to confirm deleting your current preferences.  Once you confirm that, Photoshop will start up with a default set of parameters, though you will still find you can select your named workspaces and (I believe) your Actions will all still be there.
    Try immediately to see if the problem recurs.  Then methodically make your preferred preferences changes, quit Photoshop, and restart, then test to see that the problem hasn't recurred.
    With some luck, you'll have cleared up the sluggishness, and will have been able to make all your preferences changes you like without it recurring.
    This really can work.

  • Hi,I have PhotoShop CS6 running on a Mac Pro running LION. Camera Raw 7.4 not loading

    Hi,

    Yet when I go into Photoshop CS6 file handling preferences it says that I am running  Camera Raw 7.0.3.71.
    Why is CS6 not seeing the availability of the latest ACR release?

  • Bluish tint on screen when Photoshop CS6 running

    Hi!
    I just bought a MacBook Pro three weeks ago. I'm running Mountain Lion. Also, I have my copy of Adobe Photoshop CS6.
    Something very unusual is happening. I'm a Graphic Designer and currently doing an Interior Design major. I calibrated my monitor perfectly. But now, ever since I installed CS6, every time I open Photoshop, a bluish tint sets on the screen, affecting every program running (browsers, for example) and it's very annoying (not to mention it disrupts any color calibration I made to my monitor). The only solution to this problem is closing Photoshop (the problem persists even if I minimize Photoshop to use another program).
    I tried opening Illustrator and it works fine. Only with Photoshop this is happening.
    I searched on Apple discussion boards for similar cases and found nothing.
    What's interesting, I took screenshots to send them to a friend and the screenshots don't seem to be affected by this phenomenon.
    Have I gone crazy or someone here has an idea on this?
    Thank you!

    As I said in my post on the Apple board, my bluish tint problem when switching graphics cards eventually just went away - no idea why. And I tried recalibrating when I had the blue tint screen but do no avail.
    I can open Photoshop and use it with my Intel integrated card sometimes - PS itself doesn't seem to make the switch automatically. But when I open Bridge (which I use almost always) the discrete graphics card kicks in. My temporary solution was to use gfxCardStatus on discrete all of the time. And after a while, when I began switching to integrated while on battery, my problem vanished.
    But if you've a new MBP (mine's a late 2011 yet still under warranty until 2015) I'd take it back to the Apple Store and have them switch it out for another machine. The problem doesn't seem to crop up often (else there would be many more complaints) and it seems to be only on 2011 and 2012 machines. I don't think it's an Adobe problem at all as it happened to me when any app that uses discrete graphics would kick in (including Google Chrome).
    I didn't send in a bug report to Apple because I thought that the problem was only with my machine. Yours is only the fourth time I've heard of the dreaded blue tint occurring. Take your machine back to the Apple Store and show them the problem. Maybe they will have a better fix than just using gfxCardStatus.

  • Photoshop cs6 runs slowly

    I have need having trouble with cs6 running slowly on my iMac. The computer runs fine with all other applications but will quickly run up several gigs of page outs when handling camera raw and photoshop files, it starts to creep along after a short while. Apple ran "stress tests" on the computer and everything is perfectly functional. I used to have no issues with cs5 and the computer should be able to handle the task easily. I have tried to reinstall photoshop. Any other trouble shooting ideas?

    What are your Photoshop > Preferences > Performance-settings? (Posting a screenshot may save you some typing.)
    How many images are you likely to have open in Photoshop simultaneously and how big are they roughly on average?
    http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/kb/optimize-performance-photoshop-cs4-cs5.html
    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.)?

  • How well does Photoshop Cs6 run on the 15" Macbook Pro with 2.6gHz?

    I'm currently 'in the market' for a new computer. My desktop is fine, but no longer can handle all the tasks I can toss at it for work (i.e. graphic design). I have been carefully biding my time, getting as much use out of it and my essentially crummy Paint Shop Photo x2, and I believe now for it to be the time to invest in a Mac and the newest edition of Photoshop (CS6). My question is this: Which one of the two Macbook Pro 15" will work best with it, and yet still survive through the next few series of upgrades? My boyfriend says the higher one, the 2.6gHz guy, will do just fine for what I need, I'm just chewing my nails off at the price. And no, I'm not interested in the retina display model. Suggesting it is just pointless.
    Basically, I'd like to know which Macbook Pro 15", the one with 2.3gHz or 2.6gHz, will suffice for the jobs I need to do, which include all areas of graphic design and artwork (hence Photoshop), along with heavy internet usage (7-9+ tabs open at any time), Word documents or the equivalent (Pages) and any extras (iTunes, Spotify). Bonus if it can gently tolerate things such as the Sims 3 and all its expansion packs.

    The nice thing about the 2.6GHz model is that it comes with a NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M with 1GB of GDDR5 memory. The 2.3GHz model only has the NVIDEO GeForuce GT 650M with 512MB of GDDR5 memory. And Photoshop will take advantage of that extra video RAM.
    That said, I have an older (late 2011) 15" MBP with a 512MB video card and Photoshop CS6 (and the entire Adobe Design & Web Premium suite) works just fine. If I were you, I would buy the base 2.3GHz model with 4GB of RAM and upgrade the RAM, and possible the hard drive with a SSD, as you need it. You can upgrade your RAM yourself to 16GB and you will notice an appreciable difference in Photoshop speed. And I would recommend the RAM upgrade straightaway. You can then look at putting in a 512GB SSD for around $400 and you'll have one of the fastest machines around.
    So go with the 2.3GHz and upgrade the RAM immediately. Good sources for RAM are Crucial, Corsair, etc. You'll get far more out of a RAM upgrade than you will the processor upgrade.

  • Adobe Photoshop CS6 Running program

    So, I opened a big .psd document and I worked on it for a while. I restarted my pc, and the Photoshop CS6 crashed, then after restarting the PC Adobe Photoshop CS6 was trying to open the autosave from last time, and then it showed me this error: Could not apply the saved panel configuration, resetting to default.
    And after that, this error: Could not apply the saved panel configuration, resetting to default.
    Then, Photoshop CS6 crashed. Please help me!

  • Photoshop CS6 running extremely slowly.

    So, I purchased CS6 when it was released and have been dealing with it's ridiculous speed ever since. It's gotten to the point where I can't tolerate it and can get no work done inside of it.
    Basically, the main issue is the menu bar. I'll click on File or Image and have to wait at least 5 seconds for the menu to drop down. In the layer pallette I'll go to Alt Drag a layer and it'll freeze for a good 5-10 seconds, then reset and let me drag at will. Until I want to do another layer...then it does it all over again. Brushing occasionally becomes painfully slow and delayed. I used CS4 for years and never had these problems on the same computer. I work with extremely large files and am only having trouble with them after upgrading to CS6.
    I'm running on Vista, yes I know. 6GB of Ram, so that should not be the issue. I do plan on purchasing a Mac in the next few months, but really need this problem sorted out Asap. I've googled endlessly and cannot find anything that works. I've changed drawing mode to Basic, disabled OpenGL, seemingly all of the obvious fixes, that haven't worked.
    Any help would be awesome. Thanks!

    Windows Vista is not officialy supported by CS6.
    Sure, it will launch and kind of "run" under Vista, but Adobe does not support it:

    Yes. Just make sure to turn off the intel graphics chip or else Photoshop won't use hardware accelerated features like 3D, swish pan, canvas rotation and so on...

  • Photoshop CS6 running extremely slow after graphics card switch

    My old graphics card died (a evga 8800 Ultra Superclocked 756MB 384 bit), so I replaced it with a (XFX HD-455X-ZAFR Radeon HD 4550 1GB 64-bit DDR2 PCI Express 2.0 x16 ).  I knew this was a less capable card but from reading other forums it seemed that GPU performance was not as big of an issue in Photoshop and the 4550 was a supported card by Photoshop.  However, I was previously able to batch open about 15 (ish) photos at a time to work on in Photoshop.  Now if I open more than 1 everything is VERY slow and even that 1 doesn't open as fast.  Bigger photos appear blurry (but when I zoom in they are not) many filters are slower.  Very annoying.  Nothing else has changed on my computer, just the graphics card.  Here are my specs (I know I need more RAM and have been considering an upgrade there but am not sure if I need to ditch my current video card as well)
    Asustek p5e3 motherboard
    Core 2 extreme qx9650 (quad core at 3.0 ghz)
    4 GB of DDR3 1333mhz ram
    (3) 500 GB 7200RPM hard drives
    Radeon HD 4550 1GB 64-bit DDR2
    500 Watt Power Supply

    I don't mean to be critical, but why would you upgrade to an outdated card like the 4550?  The 4000-series isn't even listed under the cards Photoshop is tested with any more.
    Tested video cards for Photoshop CC and CC 2014
    That said, a problem that can happen with a video card switch is that drivers get left in the system from the old one.
    Maybe it would be a good start in diagnosing this for you go to into the Help - System Info menu, copy the data in the whole first section, and post it here.

    That depends on your computer; best ask in the shop where you bought it.
    How much do you need?  The more, the better.  I have only 4GB, and my Photoshop works decently well (for the limited tasks I use it for).  If you use it heavily, probably 8GB or 16GB would be better.
    However, you can only use this memory if you use
    the 64-bit edition of Windows

    Unfortunately you cannot upgrade 32-bit Windows to 64-bit Windows; you need to install it from scratch.

    the same document opens up. As if it thinks it crashed and needs to recover it. Im a member of Creative Cloud in case that matters.

    Its not a killer issue but extremely annoying.
