Photoshop performance and redraw problems

Hello,
I'm running Photoshop CS5.1 x64 12.1 on a Windows 7 SP1 machine with all updates installed and the latest AMD 13.9 drivers for my HD6850 card. The PC has 8GB RAM.
Whenever I zoom in, there is an annoying redraw effect whereby the image "tears" as it's redrawn in "squares". This is not the usual vsyncless tear because if i simply scroll the image left and right it does not happen. To fix this, I can enable OpenGL and the tearing will be gone. However, when OpenGL is enabled the brushes lag quite badly. Sometimes it takes a full second from the moment I start a stroke to the moment it appears on screen. I've set OpenGL to basic and disabled all other options such as vsync and anti-aliasing. I've tried setting the cache levels to 8 and all cache tile sizes, restarting PS after each setting change. I've found it impossible to eliminate PS's non-OpenGL zoom tearing and brush lag when OpenGL is enabled, so I'm forced to fix one and live with the other.
I'd appreciate any advice, thank you.

I guess you'll have worked through the steps in this link?

It sounds like you are seeing the tiles that Photoshop splits the screen into. You really need Chris Cox to give you the best settings and other advice, but this might be one of those times when the 'Tall and thin/Default/Big and fat' options make a difference. I'm going to hazard a guess that setting a smaller tile size would be best. Short of a system upgrade that is.

Performance and Stability Problem with PE9

I just upgraded my computer to a Core i5 with 8G of memory and everything is running much faster. But my NEW PE9 just run very slow. Some of the simple tasks take 10-30 second to complete. Even Windows 7 will often come out to ask if I want to wait for PE9 to wake up or kill the process. When I want to change the size of a video clip, it just doesn't work at all due to performance. It will take PE9 20-30 seconds to resize the video clip. Without some realtime feedback of the size, it is impossible to do the resizing and this is a very fundamental operation. PE9 often crash or seize up as well, I didn't have any of these problem with PE3.0. I upgraded to PE9 simply because my PE3.0 for WIndows XP is not comletely compatible with Windows 7 (some of the text displace does not show up).
Do anyone else have issue with performance and stability?

Saving Jpeg in Photoshop CS4 and having problems

Okay, i have been looking all over the internet and i hope it's something really foolish...
After editing a photo in Photoshop (CS4) and saving it as a JPEG / JPG, many people using windows can't open the file, and it gets the extension .JPGG ( ...?... )
If I import the picture in Iphoto first and then mail it ther is no problem.
perhaps this is quite obvious to some, but it's a mystery to me.
To update my website i need to save my JPG files to an XML folder and then flash reads the files and opens them in the site.
The JPG files i saved using photoshop won't open in the site, even worse, the site won't even load because the loader gets 'stuck'.
i tried putting them in Iphoto first because that helped with with mailing, but it doesn't seem to be working this time.
I've tried all the JPG saving options like Baseline etc. converted them to RGB ( they already were) so i'm out of options.
ANYONE ?

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. I have CS3 so don't know if there's major changes to the formatting process by each version. That may be a question to ask in the Adobe support forum.
However, for a workaround you might try using the Automator workflow I created to change any image file to jpg with the sRGB color profile. Just drag the files onto the workflow icon and they will be converted. You can get it, "Convert to JPG and Embed sRGB profile", at Toad's Cellar. See if those jpgs will work OK. There will be some jpeg compression applied but if they are for posting on the web it may not be objectionable.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
Note: There's now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

Problems with Photoshop performance and data transfer speed on iMac

Two months ago, I started noticing slow performances using Photoshop (above all using clone stamp tool) on my 27" iMac (late 2012). I did the AHT and I found that 8GB of 32GB RAM were broken.
I removed them but the problem didn't disappered, I also noticed that data transfer speed (both copy and paste from/to internal HD and from CF card/external HD) was really slow.
I tried many solutions suggested by Apple support, none of them worked out. At the end, I tried uninstalling and re-installing Photoshop: no more problems!!!
10 days ago, I received a new 8GB RAM module and so I installed it back... suddenly, the problem came back, I tried re-installing again Photoshop but the problem, this time, still persist!
Does anyone had the same experience? All other CC programs work well (LR, AE, Premiere...)

yes, it does!
what seems to be very strange to me is how data trasnfer speed could be affected!
(just to say, I've already tried reset of SMC and PRAM, I've tried with different accounts and I've also re-installed the OS, next step would be formatting the disk and installing the OS from zero)

How do I fix Adobe Photoshop performance and crashes?

Performance and Usability Problems-Aperture 3.1.3 and 10.7.1

Late 2009 iMac
Quad Core i7
8 GB RAM
512 ATI GPU
Nik Software Complete Collection Plugins—all updated
I’m guessing this is due to memory leaks, but Aperture is crippled with 10.7.1. On my great iMac, Aperture now runs like it did when I ran Aperture 2 on a 2004 PowerBook G4.
With Snow Leopard, I had none of these issues.
With Aperture idle, it uses up to 2 GB real memory and 3 GB virtual memory. With it idle, it generates MBs of page outs and swap used. If I start to use it for adjustments, even minor ones, page outs and swap used increase dramatically. For example, last night after editing and adjusting a project of images, page outs were just under 5 GB. I’ve reverted to the old habit of rebooting to clear page outs and swaps. Last time I had to do this was with the 2004 PowerBook.
While actually using Aperture for edits and adjustments, response to almost any input is slow, with conspicuous delays. Even checking and unchecking an adjustment brick causes a considerable delay between the click and when the change is visible.
Again, with Snow Leopard, Aperture was a bullet with current configuration. I just ordered 8 more GBs of RAM in hopes that this will help until Apple fixes Aperture.
Anyone else having such considerable performance issues with Aperture 3.1.3 and 10.7.1?
Thanks

John-
Actually I do think it is about individual setups. The kinds of complaints expressed in this thread have been going on literally for decades.
Starting with early-days Photoshop then later Aperture I have observed the challenges of heavy graphics apps with hardware/RAM/OSs/app versions. We have always been able to reproduce poor performance, because apps/OSs generally do evolve to be more demanding.
IMO our goal is to help individual setups tweak to achieve non-poor performance while we wait for stronger hardware, or an OS improvement, or an app improvement, or money to buy more RAM, or whatever. IMO it really is an ongoing individual-setup (e.g. last year I was running a 2006 C2D MBP with a max of 3 GB RAM requiring constant tweaking) issue.
Today I run Aperture under 10.6.8 on a 2011 MBP with SSD and 8 GB RAM and it rocks. I would consider 10.6.8 to be one of the tweaks that folks might do if all the other tweaks (like add RAM and run 32-bit) fail to achieve non-poor performance.

Performance and usability problems with Illustrator imports

I am usually an enthusiast advocate for Adobe Software. As a UI/Interaction designer I regularly showcase your products as a shining example.
That's why I am somewhat frustrated about the Flash Catalyst Beta. I trust you guys to come out with SOMETHING GREAT eventually, but I have just spend an entire day with Catalyst and it was not particularly a joy. Couldn't you have released it a bit later to save me the frustration?
Situation:
- Medium size Adobe Illustrator CS4 import (10 screens/stages with 20-100 Illustrator objects per screen)
- Target : 800x600 embedded UI for medical product
- Illustrator file chosen as starting point
Performance / reliability problems include
- Crashing (Vista Core2Duo with 2gig of Ram)
- Super poor performance (wait 8 seconds to hide/show a layer)
- No show of thumbnail images anywhere
- No matching of document size (exact 800x600 from Illustrator became 800x599)
- Playing the file did not work
Usability issues
- Poor test display
- Poor match with Illustrator file (things seem to be rendered differently!)
- Window selecting does not work well
- No hand tool
- No ability to lock layers
- Cluttered interface (Not enough space for the "stage"or what you call it)
- No way to resize Illustrator elements from one of 9 edge/center points
- etc. etc.
Building a wireframe version from the ground up (with Illustrator import) seemed to work fine
I played around with the MS Blend beta for a while, and while the basic concept of your product is much more clear, the execution of the MS product in the beta phase was lightyears ahead in terms of stability and usability
I'm sure you can do better!
Koen

Koen,
Thank you for the detailed feedback about the performance problems you have experienced and your thoughts about features you would like. Let me respond to each of your points
Performance: We are aware that Catalyst doesn't perform well with large complex files. We have made many performance improvements since the current plublic beta, so you should find Catalyst more responsive with larger projects when the next beta is posted.
Here are a few things you can do to work around the performance issues you are seeing with the current beta:
- Consider rasterizing complex elements that don't need to scaled in Catalyst
- In Catalst turn complex artwork into optimized graphics using the "Convert to optimized graphics" in the float HUD (heads up display panel)
We have also found that particularly on Windows that Catalyst can run out of memory with large files. This area is also being worked on so stay tuned for the next beta.
Features:
- Poor test display [tv] Do you mean the design display doesn't match the appearance of the published project?
- Poor match with Illustrator file (things seem to be rendered differently!) [tv] we have fixed a lot of bugs here. Expect this to improve a lot in the next beta
- No hand tool - [tv] coming soon :-)
- No ability to lock layers [tv] coming soon :-)
- Cluttered interface (Not enough space for the "stage"or what you call it) [tv] Yes, Catalyst currently cannot dock/undock panels
- No way to resize Illustrator elements from one of 9 edge/center points [tv] This is also a known limitation. I agree it is useful
I hope the next beta comes closer to meeting your expectations. A lot of performance work and new features has been done since the last public posting, so look forward to beta II.

Performance and memory problems

Hello.
I've installed Oracle AS 10g in Redhat Linux EL 3. The machine has 3 GB of memory, 2 GB of swap. Its a dual Xeon 2.6 Ghz.
Imagine i reboot the machine. Everything works fine. The problem is, in 6 days, it fills all the swap memory and almost the memory available. If it reaches this values, the machine gets so slow... To correct temporary the situation, i need to perform a reboot. But the question is this is Linux, not windows...
Does anyone has an ideia why this is happening?? i've never seen something like this... after 6 days, the only memory available of 5 GB are 30 MB... this is not possible.
Help please !

We are with the same problem. We read a lot about the vm in the RHAS 3.0. The vm was improved but, with bugs. We found a lot of inactive pages that, after the clean state, does'nt deallocate properly. This makes the thread kernel "kswapd" works a lot, taking all the cpu in the io process.
There is a known bug related to "kswapd" thread in the RHAS 3.0 kernel. The RedHat promess to solve the problem in the nexts releases (I really doubt it, because there was already 3 releases after its announces).
We have checked some strange behaviors too... The machines with Linux RH AS 3.0 + Oracle products (OracleDB and OracleIAS) are freezing randomically. We think that the shared memory are allocating kernel space pages, but we didn't found any evidences yet.
The workarounds (not tested yet):
- Upgrade to the latest kernel.
or
- Use the hugemem kernel (even when using less than 16GB of RAM, some guys reported that this solve the problem)
or
- Compiling a clean kernel directly from kernel.org. In this case, we don't have support from Oracle, but maybe the problem could be resolved until RH publish some bugless vm code with your kernel.

Performance and Contention problem with the database ?

Hello!
I am having one database which is used by around 95 thousand
users.Database contain about 4 lakh records. The database is
going smooth and perfect.
The problem(perfomance is slow and there is contension too) came
when i made 4 web applications which contain atleast 1000 hits
(1000 records are inserted in the database ) per day.
Now the db is not going so smooth(contention and performance
problem).
I think this is happening becuase of those 4 web applications.
So should i make new database for that 4 applications or i need
to get the new system for it or there is another way through i
can tune my running database.
Any help will be appreciated.
Regards
Seemab

Hi,
If i well understand, u have one database and u insert 4000 rows
per day and u have performance problem ?
I think u have a big problem cause it's not really a big
intensity on a base. So u should have big problems on ur
database design such as undersized memory area, bad disk
repartition, bad types of indexes or something like that.
To decrease the contention, u should separate ur data and index
datafiles over differents disks and specialize tablespace by the
granularity of the table.
But u r not enough precise to expect a precise answer; could u
be more precise ? as the server u have, data volumes, a select *
from v$system_event, etc...
Good Luck,

I have Photoshop CS6 and having problems since upgrading to Yosemite 10.10?

It is slower and the lasso tools don't work as well as before

First, report problems with MacOS 10.10 to Apple so they can get the information they need to solve the problems introduced in MacOS 10.10.
Second, make sure FileVault is off (a few people have seen performance problems with it on).

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

Xorg using 30% cpu when idle,slow performance and video problems

I'm having a problem with Xorg, I don't know what it is but I guess it has something to do with configuration problems because in Ubuntu eerything works out of the box.
My problems are these:
1. Xorg is using arround 30% cpu when the computer is idle and very simple animations in kde like minimize a window are performed very poorly.
2. Compiz' performance is very poor and chopy

Speed & Performance and other problems!!!!

Hi there,
I have had my Mac Mini for about 9 months now and within the last 2 weeks there has been a significant drop in speed and performance of it. Booting up seems to take forever compared to previously and very often when I am in the middle of doing something it freezes, i get the rainbow wheel, and have to wait for a little while for it to start responding again!! I think that this started shortly after I had another problem (wasnt booting at all!!) where I was advised by Apple Support to reset the PRAM.
What I have done so far:
- Checked the free space; I have around 8gb of free disc space
- Run YASU; after reading previous posts I ran this program
- Repaired disk permissions and verified the disk.
Does anybody have any further suggestions.....its driving me crazy!!?!!
There are 2 other key problems that I have with the Mini that are more of an annoyance than anything else, but none the less would be good to get some advice:
- Sometimes (Intermittently) there is no sound device showing on the mini; if I look in the device's it just says that there is no sound device connected!!?!
- Also when putting many CD's in the mini it does not play it and then will not eject the disc until i restart!!
Any help would be very much appreciated!!!

Photoshop CS4 GPU redraw problems

I have problems with showing layers after I move them. When i hide or show some layers the changes will show only after i click somewhere in the window. like window redrawing have some pause.
I have Nvidia GeFrocce 7600 GT with latest drivers.

Just clear install photoshop with no plugins
All app with GPU usage is shutdown
GPU drawing turn off\on no effect
I just notice what redrawing work few second after start appl, but novigation window empty, all redrawing after click :'(
