Photoshop freezes

Hi, I am getting very frustrated. I upgraded to Creative Suite 6 about 3 months ago and Photoshop has been freezing up when I am working. I can not figure out what action I do that provokes this. I either have to wait about 60 to 90 sec. before I can continue to work or I have to restart the program by using "force quit". Can anyone suggest a solution to this problem?

Nothing here provides any clues... Which means troubleshootin/experimenting.
The sorta cure-all for Mac is to try running in Safe Boot while logged in as the root user.
To start the computer in Safe Boot, simply hold down the Shift key right after starting the computer (you will hear the tone as the computer starts, hold down Shift after this).

Photoshop Freeze on File Open

I'm using Photoshop CS3 on Windows XP. When I try to open a file from File>Open the Window appears for a fraction of a second and then disappears. At that point Photoshop freezes. The Task Manager says it's still running, but everything is frozen. I can't click on minimize or close, none of the tool bar icons, nothing. I can create new files. I can use Browse to open files, or I can just drag them in from a folder. One of the plugins I was using would also freeze Photoshop ocne I pressed ok for the filter to apply. The plugin/filter was NvidiaTool's NormalMapFilter. Resetting the Prefs and/or deleting the .psp file seems to have fixed that.
I've deleted the .psp file. I've done the ctrl-shift-alt to resest the Prefs as well. I've switched my default printer. I deleted a printer I didn't use anymore.
Any ideas what's causing it?

To test Mylenium's theory, do you get control again if you hit the Esc (escape) key? That would be the equivalent to hitting the [Cancel] button on the File - Open prompt. If not, an off-screen window is not the problem.
I believe you can clear up window positioning problems by resetting Photoshop's preferences... Press and hold Control-Shift-Alt when first starting Photoshop from its menu entry or shortcut. You have to be quick.

Please Help - Photoshop Freezing Up!

Hi, I have Photoshop CS2 Windows installed on Windows 7 laptop. I open Photoshop and it is getting worse. I was able to work fine a few days ago but now if I even resize a window or start to paint I get a ``not responding`` and Photoshop freezes.
Any ideas what could be causing this.Thanks.

Clear out as much space as you can on your hard drive, and defragment it. Photoshop requires a lot of contiguous free space on the drive for its scratch files ("RAM overflow", to put it very simply). Over time, your drive fills up and gets fragmented.
That said, by today's standards that laptop is severely underpowered. Files are simply bigger today than they were back when CS2 was current. If you intend to keep using it, regular maintenance is required.

Why does photoshop freeze every time I switch a photo to black and white?

Nobody can tell you anything without proper system and version info or other technical details, including what you actually mean by "switch to black and white".

Photoshop freezes when opening files?

Everytime I try to open a file, Photoshop freezes. I tried updating with Adobe Cloud but that freezes too. Its really frustrating because I have a deadline for Monday and I have not been able to use Any program for a month now. I have no time to keep trying things. Ive tried everything everyone posted here and none of it works. I blocked my payment for May 1st too because im not gonna pay for something that doesnt work. Any suggestions anyone?

This is why I suggest everyone keep one of the older Photoshop also loaded on the computer.

Photoshop Freezes after opening a document

My Photoshop freezes after opening a document in it.
I tried installing the latest graphics card update (quadro k 600). and uninstalled and installed photoshop. i changed the computer. i added more RAM (24 G) without any luck.
do you have any idea why it keeps freezing every time i opened a document in after running photoshop?

Please read this (restoring Preferences after making sure all customized presets like Actions, Patterns, Brushes etc. have been saved might be a good starting point):

Photoshop freezes when i return from illustrator with vector on clipboard

if i copy something in illustrator and switch to photoshop, photoshop freezes. if i switch back to illustrator, it's frozen too.
this is a fresh install of CC on a new Lenovo desktop (Windows 8, 64bit, 16GB RAM, quad 3.1 GHz).
i did this four times this morning with black and alpha gradient vectors i wanted to make into ps brushes that came in about 500px square.
three times, i moved over to a browser to research the issue, returned to photoshop 5-10 minutes later and it worked fine. i sat and waited in photoshop for three minutes once before giving up.
anyone ever seen anything like this?
illustrator misbehaving, following photoshop's example:

That progress dialog looks like it is from Illustrator - as it writes all the EPS/PDF data to the clipboard so Photoshop can read it.

Photoshop freezes while saving

It seems like I´m having bad luck with my Photoshop CS6 again...
Since 4 days the whole program freezes the moment i klick ´save´. No matter if I want to save my brushes or a picture,it freezes every time.
The pictures are never bigger than 300 MB,and that never happened before. I can still open and close other programs in the background,just Photoshop freezes.
I can force it to close and it re-creates the pictures because of autosave,but as I said I can´t save them anymore.
I shut down my computer(I´m using OS X)and re-started it,all kind of these things.I also never open any other program when I work with Photoshop.I really don´t know what to do anymore

What have you done for trouble-shooting so far?

Photoshop freezes my keyboard.

Photoshop freezes my keyboard when I am using the clone stamp tool only. Cloned my harddrive and it happened on another computer so I know it's photoshop and not my computer. Can I unistall and reinstall the same photoshop software on my computer to help this problem. Has this happened before?

Photoshop freezes shortly when changing tools

Whenever I try to change my tool to one of the tools that is hidden behind another tool Photoshop freezes for a short time. However, when I change to the tool using the shortcut (for example Shift + I for one of the tools behind the Eyedropper) Photoshop doesn't freeze at all. This becomes quite annoying when you have to change tools a lot.. I made a video showing the problem:
http://vimeo.com/30238266
Yesterday I found a similar problem in Illustrator, when I click to select an object Illustrator freezes for a short time. However, when I immediatly drag the object when I click it, Illustrator doesn't freeze. Video of this:
http://vimeo.com/30238365
I sort of learned to work around these problems, but it's still annoying and takes a bit more time.
Anyone has a clue on how to fix this problem?
I tried several things:
- Reinstalling the whole CS5 Master Suite
- Deleting every single file that has something to do with Adobe and reinstall
- Disabling OpenGL Drawing
I'm running OS X 10.7.1 on a Macbook Pro 13" 2011 with a Kingston V+100 SSD.
The problem already occurred when I was still using 10.6 with a HDD instead of a SSD, so the OS or SSD shouldn't be the problem I guess.

No plugins or utlities, it's a clean install at the moment.
EDIT: I found the problem. A little application called RightZoom caused the problems in Photoshop and Illustrator. After turning this application off everything worked as normal.

Photoshop freezes when using Auto-Blend Layers - Stack Images

I used to have CS5 on my computer, after which I used the CS6 trial, and I never had any problems when stacking images using Auto-Blend Layers -> Stack Images. However, I recently purchased a subscription to Adobe Creative Cloud and after uninstalling the old PS versions and installing Cloud, Photoshop freezes every time I try to stack images.
My computer has very good specs, runs Windows 7, and both the OS and PS are up to date.
Why is PS freezing? What can I do to fix the problem?

Indesign, Illustrator and Photoshop Freezing. Arrgggggghhhh!

Hi All,
I've recently installed Fusion 3 and now I'm having a diabolical problem with my Creative Suite. Indesign, Illustrator and Photoshop (though less often the latter) freeze - not just after a sleep etc, but up to every 5 or 10 minutes. I am going absolutely CRAZY and am becoming extremely frustrated. I googled the issue and have read in many forums that Extensis and the latest Fusion 3 update is the source of the problem. At this stage I am forcing quit and reopening documents consistently. The interruption to my work, schedule and deadlines is creating intense stress. I installed Fusion 3 last week but it's only since yesterday that the freezing has become apparent and immediately unbearable.
Does anyone have any advice? I can't go on like this. If I dump Fusion 3 and unistall it, will my problems go away? Sure, I won't be able to manage my fonts very well, but considering the alternative I couldn't care less. Can anyone recommend an alternative font management program that doesn't send Adobe programs into a full meltdown?
Here are my stats;
iMac running Version 10.6.8
Processor 2.8 GHz Intel Core i5
Memory 4GB 1333 MHz DDR3
Adobe Creative Suite 5
Please please - any advice greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
PPP

Hi Manish,
Thanks for your response. In the preferences window I have this option;
"Global Auto-Activation Options"
and then to check or uncheck...
Auto-acticate fonts for the following applications - the only application listed is Textedit
So I've unchecked it where I can.
I am running CS 5 and can't find the specific plugins you have noted, but have found the following pertaining to Extensis;
Illustrator/Plug-Ins/Extensions/ExtensisFontManagementAICS5.aip
Indesign/Plug-ins/Font Activation/ExtensisFontManagementIDCS5.InDesignPlugin
Photoshop/Plug-Ins/Automate/ExtensisFontManagementPSCS5.plugin
Are these the ones I should delete?
Many thanks,
PPP
