Photoshop on 10.4.8 @70% RAM eventually starts halting delaying and lagging

Ive got RAM in photoshop set to 70% the default.
I have a QUAD with 4.5 GB RAM....
I am only using PHOTOSHOP CS2 no other apps are launched.
for the first few hours things are OK.
then all of a sudden zooming takes time
writing keywords is delayed
then everything is delayed, almost halted
this has been going on for months.
This was a top of the line computer once and 10.4.8 is the latest OS right?
I have reinstalled already did a clean install months back.
Im sorry for this rage but this shouldnt be happening. I should be able to have atleast 3-4 apps going right?
it creeps to a halt at 70...
Does anyone have this problem with Photoshop?
thank you

Glenn, you don't sound rageful, although I for one wouldn't have put up with this for "several months".
Sounds like a memory leak.
That indicates a software problem, not necessarily a Quad problem.
-Are you sure you don' t have other apps running in background?(Dashboard, iTunes, Safari, Mail,etc...)
-Have you checked with Adobe support (they have great forums) for specific fixes for CS2?
-You say "all of a sudden" things take time. Is that an accurate statement, or illustrative? Usually a slowdown like this creeps up on you (not an 'all-of-a-sudden' thing)
-When you get this condition, a simple restart clears it, right?
I may be wrong, but it sounds like a Photoshop thing.

  • Photoshop CS6 very sluggish after assigned RAM is used up

    Hello community,
    during the evaluation of my PS CS6 trial I encountered the following problem. Painting on a layer mask is very, very sluggish once Photoshop CS6 has used up all RAM that has been assigned to it.
    When I am in 100% view and <shift><click> about 10 times in quick succession it takes almost a minute for photoshop to catch up, often the last clicks get lost and the next click draws a line without using <shift>.
    I tried without appreciable improvement:
    - Different brushes (hard, soft, down to 10px)
    - Disable graphics processor
    - Disable layer icons
    The problem seems to be related to virtual memory handling. Does PS CS6 use virtual memory buffering? The Activity Monitor shows still free memory.
    In comparison and on the same system, Photoshop CS4 with default VM Buffering remains quite responsive although the RAM usage of PS CS4 (active + inactive) is much lower than in CS6.
    What can I do to fix the problem? This issue prevents me from upgrading to CS6.
    Thanks
    Thomas

    I did a lot of additional testing and made the following observation:
    It happens only when painting on the layer mask, not on the layer itself. After some brush strokes in the swapping state (see above) the program reproducibly behaves like this when trying to make another stroke:
    I make a stroke with the mouse
    Some seconds later the initial point appears, there is some disk write activity
    Then Photoshop's CPU utilization rises to 100% with zero disk activity - it stays there until ...
    I click somewhere in the image and immediately a linear stroke from the initial point to the click position is drawn. This final click even works when Photoshop does not currently have the application focus - application switching to Photoshop via the dock icon does not visibly work anyway in this state.
    I can repeat that sequence. If I wait long enough it somehow gets cured, but then it only takes another ~10 strokes to get the strange behaviour back.

  • Photoshop CS5 consumes a lot of RAM

    Hi,
    While using Adobe Photoshop CS5, I am suffering of RAM loss, it consumes around 2.5 GB of my RAM, while Adobe Illustrator CS5 consumes around 500 MB of RAM.
    Is this normal or I have to do something to minimize memory usage with Photoshop?

    By default, Photoshop uses 70% of available RAM. The more RAM available to Photoshop, the faster Photoshop can process image information.
    You can adjust here:
    Choose Photoshop > Preferences > Performance...adjust in 5% increments...restart Photoshop after each change.
    You really should Max out your computer, if you want the best performance, before messing with Photoshop.

  • Photoshop only using 20% of 8Gb ram

    i am usually dealing with huge files in photoshop and i have 8Gb of ram yet my G5 dual processor with 80Gb of hard drive space and 8Gb of ram only lets photoshop use about 20% of available ram. it says it is using 100% of available ram.
    is there a way i can allocate more ram to photoshop?
    thanks
    eric

    RAM is limited by the program not the system. Currently, Photoshop 7 and Photoshop CS are "officially" limited to addressing no more than 2 GB of RAM. In actual practice, a "100% Allocation" of RAM to Photoshop 7.01 is around 1800 MB on systems with 2.5 or more GB of RAM installed.

  • Using Lightroom 5.5 and Photoshop CC2014. Images no longer open in Photoshop when using "edit in" command. Photoshop opens but no image when trying to move between LR and PS. Any suggestions?

    Using Lightroom 5.5 and Photoshop CC2014. Images no longer open in Photoshop when using "edit in" command. Photoshop opens but no image when trying to move between LR and PS. Any suggestions?

    1. You have allowed Apple to auto-upgrade your Mac
    Turn off auto-update here:
    Menu > Apple > System Preferences > App Store
    2. The Icons on your dock are Aliases not real apps
    They point to where the apps really are which is:
    For Pages 5.2.2 in your Applications folder
    For Pages '09 in your Applications/iWork folder
    3. You are alternately opening documents randomly with either version of Pages
    Both Pages have the same file extension .pages and there is no certainty as to which version opens them when you double click on a file.
    right click on the file and choose which version you want to open it
    4. Pages '09 can not open Pages 5 files
    Pages 5 can not open Pages '08 files, and will convert and change Pages '09 and Word files.
    It will also auto save opened files into its own format.
    You can export these back to Pages '09 if you need to:
    Menu > File > Export > Pages '09
    5. Yes Pages 5.2.2 is a marked downgrade
    Pages 5.2.2 has a few improvements but has had over 110 features removed and is buggy.
    Sooner or later you will not be able to open a file or have it damaged in some way and it has a complex obscure file format largely incompatible with everything else, so you will not be able to rescue the contents of your file. If Pages or some third party server/eMail don't trash your file, eventually Apple will do it for you as it did when it released Pages 5 last September. I recommend using Pages '09 for the time being whilst you look for viable alternatives, some are here already and some are on the way.

  • I get an error message saying 'An error has caused Photoshop to stop working correctly. Windows will close the programme and notify you if a solution is available'. I have had no notification. My old Photoshop CS5 works fine, but as I'm paying for CC2014

    I get an error message saying 'An error has caused Photoshop to stop working correctly. Windows will close the programme and notify you if a solution is available'. I have had no notification. My old Photoshop CS5 works fine, but as I'm paying for CC2014 I would like to use it. I have tried renaming the 'sniffer' file to 'snifferold' as bobmiller4002 suggested but the problem is not resolved. Lightroom works fine.

    Hi Nancy,
                 I'm not sure I have the answers to all your questions. Although I use Photoshop and Lightroom extensively, I'm not a 'techy'.
    My system;
    Packard bell imedia S2885
    1TB hard drive
    500G RAM
    Windows 8.1   64- bit
    Intel core i5 4440
    If I open Photoshop cc14 without opening any image, I still get an error message that reads: 'Photoshop has encountered a problem with the display driver, and has temporarily disabled enhancements which use the graphics hardware'.
    There is also a link to the Adobe help site, but I'm not sure exactly what I should be downloading from there.  
             Thanks,
                        Dan.

    I have both Photoshop 4 and Photoshop 6 on my computer. When I am in Bridge and want to open an image by double clicking, it automatically opens in 6. I see, when I go to "open with" 6 is listed as "default" How can I change the default to open an image with a double click in 4?

    You can associate files from the Bridge level and the Desktop level.
    In Bridge CS4, go to Preferences > File Type Associations and change it to Photoshop CS4 for the file types you want.
    If you want to open files from the Windows Desktop in CS4, these are the instructions:
    Do this from the Windows Desktop:
    If you want your image file to open in Photoshop and it doesn't, right click on it and choose
    Open with > Choose default program… select Photoshop CS4 or CS6 and checkmark "always use the selected program to open this type of file".

    Try to backup and restore you device in itunes...restoring the device is like removing the iOS software off the device and re-add in a newer software, after you have restore you device, MAKE SURE YOU SET UP YOUR DEVICE LIKE A NEW DEVICE, DONT NOT RESTORE FROM BACKUP!!... give the device a chance to use the newer software and see if the issue still persisting, if the issue still on going then its would be a hardware issue.
    Call Apple Care and see if your device is still under warranty to get it replace

  • I have photoshop CC. I cannot open two files such as Tiffs and view them side by side. When I open the second file it overrides the first. Do I need to do something with preferences?

    I have photoshop CC. I cannot open two files such as Tiffs and view them side by side. When I open the second file it overrides the first. Do I need to do something with preferences?

    What happens when you try to use the clone stamp tool?
    It should work with the images side by side.
    You can setup photoshop cc to be like photoshop cs2 was on your other mac, by going to Photoshop>Preferences>Interface and unchecking
    Open Documents as Tabs and Enable Floating Document Window Docking
    And also going to Window and unchecking Application Frame

    Grab the plug-in posted here:  http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/kb/photoshop-menus-turn-white-mac.html
    That should get everything working as expected on Yosemite.
