Problem with Photoshop CS5. Memory and Hard disk space Mac OSX

Just got CS5 Master Suite. Whenever I open photoshop it takes a ton of memory 1 gig +. When I open files it takes up more and more until it takes up all my memory and hard disk space. I open a simple multi layered file that is 25 megs in size to work on it. Before I know it photoshop is taking 20gigs+ of my hard disk space along with 3+ gigs of system memory. Is there a memory problem in photoshop cs5?
Thanks!
Joseph
UPDATE:
So I just opened the 25 meg file in photoshop cs5 and watched my free space on my hard drive go down 8 gigs the instant I opened it. It went from 27 gigs of freespace to 19 instantly. As I open more files and close others it works till my harddrive goes to zero space... stalls the computer big time. Only way to correct it is to quit photoshop cs5 and wait a few minutes for the space to return... and it takes a few minutes for it all to return.
I am running a Macbook Pro with OSX 10.6., 4 gigs of ram on board.
anyone else having simular problems?

Any problems with Adobe CS5.5 and the Maverick system?

Has anyone had any problems with Adobe CS5.5 and the new Maverick OS? I don't want to install if there are issues. Thanks!

First thing I would suggest is to upgrade your server OS to a newer version if possible. Secondly try removing the apps out of the allowable apps list and instead change it so that you allow the apps that are within the specific application folder, ex: Applications/Adobe Photoshop CS5
I had similar problems with CS5 apps and by adding the apps by allowable folder instead it corrected my problem. Granted, if you have savvy users, there is the potential to open a can of worms here but it was the only way I could get it to work for "standard" non-admin user types.

Problems with Photoshop CS5.1

Hello everyone, I'm having some problems with Photoshop, it simply doesn't work as it should. When trying to resize the brush, the cursor changes shape and if I click, it won't, for example, paint where the cursor is pointing at, but about two inches diagonally. Then, the liquify tool freezes and I have to zoom in/out in order to make it work again, the brush disappears when changing the size, and again the cursor changes into something else and doesn't make any adjustment to where it's pointing at, but to a lower section. It's annoying to keep working like this! According to the update manager, everything is up to date. My current OS is Lion 10.7.2. Does anybody know how to fix this or at least why it is happening? I asked in the Adobe forums and I was told that it was Apple's fault (obvious response haha), and that a software update should come up to fix this driver problem or something. I'm not sure of what this is but I can't work like this. Thank you in advance.

What it means is Adobe is feverishly working on a solution. Apple has no control over Adobe's products. They may make spec changes to allow for better support of other data formats, and the GUI, and security of the operating system, and Adobe is always in the loop on http://developer.apple.com/ If they can't make Lion work with their software, it is partly due to the immense size of their software and not being able to modify such software without significant error checking, and partly due to possible changes that Apple may have made. One should never upgrade a production environment until one knows all one's software is compatible for all one's needs. Having a test machine, or a test hard drive to see if an upgrade works is probably best until migrating an entire environment to a new system. And always backup your data prior to upgrading. A clone backup offers the quickest recovery time. Carbon Copy Cloner is a great solution for external hard drives, and so is Superduper.

Having problems with Photoshop CS5 running on 34 bit Vista

I recently downloaded CS5 Design premium, and I seem to be having trouble running bridge. I'm using MS Windows Vista Home Premium 32-bit SP2 on an Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 @ 2.40GHz. 3gb of RAM and 256MB GeForce 8500 GT graphics card (if that matters). I was wondering if there is a way to fix this, or maybe a 32-bit version of Photoshop CS5.
And if there isn't, is there a way to remove the bridge access buttons from photoshop? Seeing something useless in a five hundred dollar program bothers me quite a bit. Thanks in advance.

Apparently, something went wrong with your Photoshop installation. I would try fully uninstalling Photoshop and then run the "CS5 cleaner tool" (see http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/829/cpsid_82947.html). Then try reinstalling making sure you turn off all anti-virus software and UAC (User Account Control) and run as an Administrator equivalent.
If you still have problems, please contact Adobe Technical support directly.
To answer you question about the buttons, no, there is no way of disabling that functionality.

Problems Updating Photoshop CS5 to ACR 6.4 on Mac OS X

I have version 6.0.0.205 of ACR on a Mac OS X 10.6.7 system with Photoshop CS5 10.0.4. I tried several ways to update to ACR 6.4, but no success yet. What I have tried is below:
1) Using the update within Photoshop (Help -> Updates says applications are all updated).
2) Using the Camera_Raw_6_4_1_updater.dmg updater. It says "Update is not applicable"
I have tried rebooting my Mac. I have tried restarting Photoshop. I tried reinstalling Photoshop. I tried unstalling other versions of Photoshop (mostly by dragging them out of the Applications folder).
Any more suggestions?
Thanks!
Chris.
PS. I need the update to ACR for a new Nikon camera I have purchased. Its RAW images don't work with my version of ACR.

…I cannot find Camera Raw.8bi on my system. I tried Spotlight and locate (from the command line). I also tried searching for just 8bi. Same result…
That's because there's no such file on a Mac.
".8bi" is an extension that denotes a Windows file, which would not belong in a Mac—ever.
On a Mac the correct Camera Raw plug-in is labeled "Camera Raw.plugin".
Tangentially, I recommend downloading and using the free Easy Find utility, which will find any file on your Mac, including many that are off-limits to the intrusive, useless Spotblight.

Extending memory and hard drive space

I would like to wait for the next gen Intel to come out before upgrading my one year old power book. I understand there will be the Core 2 duo coming out in new Macs. i will wait. In the mean time I would like to increase my memory and internal hardrive space, cheaply so programs are not running so slow when more than one or two are open. My question are:
1. How much more mem can I add to the 512mb I already have? I know I have two slots and only one is being used.
1. a. Is this something I can do myself? If so, is there a apple article on how to do this.
1. b. What is the cheapest I can buy and where do I Order. ( I would appreciate link)
2. How much more internal Hardrive space can I add? It says I currently have total of 74 gb with 71 gb being used.
2.a. Do I really need to increase intranal hardrive space if I just increase memory? Will memory be enough to take care of sluggishness?
2.b. if I increase my internal Hard drive will this be like getting new computer and have to but all my stuff back onto new and larger hard drive.? or is there an extra slot to add another hard drive.
2.c. Same as 1, a & B
powerbook g4 1.5gh, 512 mb sdram Mac OS X (10.4.4)
powerbook g4 Mac OS X (10.4.4)
powerbook g4 Mac OS X (10.4.7)

Hi 10smom
1. Up to 2GB, consisting of a 1GB in each each slot.
1a. Yes, see this link for instructions.
1b. Cheapest memory is not necessarily the best option to choose, although buying online will probably get you the best deal. You should choose memory that is the most compatible. A lifetime warranty is also something to look out for. Amongst the brands favoured by people are Crucial, Kingston and Samsung although I have tended to use Crucial.
2. Currently the largest capacity hard drive for notebook computers is 160GB, although I'm not sure if the limit for your PowerBook is 128GB. However a significant factor of your PB's current "sluggishness" is due to the fact that the internal drive is almost full. You need to either delete or archive off (and then delete) a lot of files. Normally the recommendation is to keep between 10%-20% of free space.
2a. Increasing both will help, but you can always start with just a memory upgrade (plus it's easier to do). See point 2 and 2b regarding the "sluggishness".
2b. Yes, but not quite. If and when you purchase a new drive, also purchase an external FireWire drive enclosure to house the spare drive. You can clone the data from one drive to the other prior to installation into your PB. After installation you can then re-clone in the opposite direction. If all is well you can then carry on using the newly upgraded PB as though nothing has happened. As an added bonus you can use the old drive (with the external enclosure) as a backup drive.
2c. Up to 128/160GB. Manufacturers to choose from are Hitachi, Seagate, Western Digital, Samsung, Fujitsu and Toshiba. A hard drive upgrade will invalidate the Apple warranty (if it has not already expired) - but online instructions are available here for the hardy. Otherwise you can get an Apple Authorised Service Provider to do the installation for a relatively small fee. There is no second drive bay, but purchasing an external FireWire drive enclosure serves that purpose.

Problems with indexing files from my hard disk

Hi everybody,
I'm a newbie to oracle and i'm trying to index files from my hard disk with oracle text. After i created a simple text file (path: 'c:\tmp\test.txt') and filled it with a short text, i executed the following lines without an error message:
grant connect, resource, ctxapp to myuser;
create table myuser.testtab(id number primary key, text BFILE);
create or replace directory test_dir as 'c:\tmp';
grant read on directory test_dir to myuser;
insert into myuser.testtab (id, text) values (1, BFILENAME('test_dir','test.txt'));
create index myuser.idx_test on myuser.testtab(text) indextype is ctxsys.context;
the record in the table testtab is stored, but the index table is empty. After i tried to get information about the bfile with java i got an SQLException with the Error-Code ORA-22285 after executing the following lines:
BFILE file = null;
try{
rset = stmt.executeQuery("select text from testtab where id = 1");
if (rset.next()) {
file = ((OracleResultSet) rset).getBFILE(1);
System.out.println("Result from fileExists: " + file.fileExists()); //This is the line where the exception is thrown
} catch (Exception e){
e.printStackTrace();
I would be obliged for any information to this problem.
Thanks in advance,
Chris J.

Software update - now problems with Photoshop CS5

I updated Lion's software last night and now, first time I've used it since, I can't change fonts in Photoshop CS5. In the previous document (from a few days ago) I had used Copperplate Light which has all letters in capitals. Now, the form of the font will change to that of the capitals in the new font but it won't switch to lower case letters. Yes, the caps lock is off.

Problems with Sony XDCAM PHU-60 hard disk unit

Hello,
I have footage that was shot using an EX3 and recorded to the PHU-60 hard disk unit. I've been using this since September with no problems. Today when I went to transfer the footage to my computer the PHU-60 is not mounting. I connected it back to my camera and the footage is there. I tried connecting the camera to the computer and it still won't mount. I really need to get this footage from the PHU-60 onto my computer. Any suggestions? Has anyone else had problems like this with the PHU-60?

Problem with out of memory and reservation of memory

Hi,
we are running a very simple java program on HP-UX that do some text substitution - replacing special characters with other characters.
The files that are converted are sometimes very large, and now we have come to a point where the java server doing the work crashes with "Out of memory" message. (no stack) when it process one single 500MB large file.
I have encountered this error before(with smaller files) and then I have made the maximum Heap larger, but now when I try to set it to 4000M
i get the message:
"Error occurred during initialization of VM
Could not reserve enough space for old generation heap"
When it crash with this message, my settings are:
-XX:NewSize=500m -XX:MaxNewSize=1000m -XX:SurvivorRatio=
8 -Xms1000m -Xmx4000m
If I run with Xmx3000m instead the java program starts but I get Out of memory error like:
java.lang.OutOfMemoryError
<<no stack trace available>>

Usually the java program handles thousands of smaller files (around 500 KB - 1 MB sized files).
Thanks!

You have a one to one mapping? Where one character is replaced with another?
And all you do is read the file, replace and then write?
Then there is no reason to have the entire file in memory.
Other than that you need to determine if the VM (which is not a Sun VM) has an upper memory bound. That would be the limit that the VM will not go beyond regardless of memory in the system.
We have 132GB of physical memory and a lot of not used Swap spaceOne would wonder why you have swap space at all.

Problems with photoshop elements 10 and windows 8

I bought photoshop elements 10 for my wife last year for Christmas. She decided not to install it on our old computer because we knew that we were planning to replace the computer this year. We finally got around to replacing it and the new computer came with Windows 8. She installed her photoshop on it and she is having problems with it. I'm wondering if there is a compatability problem with the windows 8? Is there an update for the pse 10 that will make it work with windows 8?

PSE10 is said to be compactable with windows8. What kind of problem are you facing? Did you try launching after resetting preferences? to know more about reseting preferences, check http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop-elements/using/undo-redo-cancel-actions.html#restore_defa ult_preferences

Installation problem with Photoshop Elements 10 and Premiere Elements 10

I purchased in a package Photoshop Elements 10 as well as Premiere Elements 10. It comes with 5 disc....When I install the first disc it does not ask for the 2nd disc once the first disc is done. When the first one was done the option was hit finish and I did and that was it. It did not request the next disc. What do I do?
Thanks

I have to say that for a reputable company such as Adobe, the instructions for download are totally non existent. The download for purchases on line are controlled by Digital River. I had problems with downloading as the link on the email confirming my purchase didn't work finally found the url link by pasting the email in Front Page and reading the source.
When I finally got through I was advised by the Digital River customer service that I had had too many attempts at downloading the software. When I sent a mail to CS at Digital I received this reply:
"Unfortunately, we do not handle the customer service for Adobe Systems,
Inc. Home. Please contact them directly with your request through one of
the following methods:
Customer Service URL: http://www.adobe.com/ap/support
Customer Service Phone: If available, the regional numbers will be
listed at the URL above.
We apologize for the inconvenience."
I have now run around the adobe site trying to find a way to download the products, but no joy so far.
I tried to get customer serice to call me back , but this service is not available for my country, Thailand.
The final way I am told is to make a call to the customer service at the number listed on my confirmation email.
I already called this number (which I believe I have to pay for) and spent some 10 minutes on the line to what I believe was someone located in India who said he would send me a link for downloading the software.
As they say in the song .... I'm still waiting!!!!!
Adobe, shame on you. Please get your act together. Why can't you handle your own customer service rather than sub contract it out. You charge enough for the product which more than covers the cost
