PSE crashes when using the Detail Smart Brush  plenty of memory and speed -please advise

PSE crashes when using the Detail Smart Brush  plenty of memory and speed -please advise

I have a similar thing happening here, but on my aging iMac8,1 (3.06, 6 gigs of ram, plenty of internal and external scratch space) No wacom here, a Logitech mouse though, running via USB overdrive.
With me it's undos that are typically causing the hang, and as such, I notice it happening and don't keep clicking around. It hangs for anywhere from 30 seconds to 3 minutes or so and then I can continue working.  Once, it was happening on a document I had open for a while, once it was occurring on a file I opened, made an errant click, and hit undo.  This was a 46.6 MB CMYK tif. I also had it occur while drawing a simple selection with the polygonal lasso - each time it would hang on the third click.  That time, it would unhang, but then the selection would be all messed up and not display what was being selected.
Each time it happens, I see photoshop pinned at 99-100% in iStat.  Doesn't seem to be related to running out of memory, as there is usually a good amount free when it's happening.  I tried using the internal drive as the swap, and that didn't seem to matter.
I've been forced to go back to CS5 for the time being, but would love to see this solved.  Is there any further info I could provide?

  • Adobe Photoshop CS4/5 Crashes when using the Move Tool

    Hello. I'm here because I'm having an issue with Photoshop.
    I was trying out CS5 when it started to crash every time I tried to use the Move Tool. It was the generic error message: "Adobe Photoshop CS4 has stopped working.
    A problem has caused Adobe Photoshop CS4 to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available."
    Thinking that it was a CS5 issue, I went back to my copy of CS4, only to find the same thing happening there (I also downgraded because CS5 was also crashing at other random times for some reason, but that's an issue for another time).
    This puzzles me because both were working fine before. Granted, I hadn't opened them for a while, but it was a sudden thing.
    My first impulse was to uninstall and reinstall CS4. No luck. So then, I uninstalled all third-party plugins, thinking that might be it. Still, the same problem. I started looking around on Google for solutions and found the instructions on resetting the Tool preferences (I chose to reset the preferences for ALL of the tools). When that didn't work, I tried deleting the preferences file outright, which said instructions recommended. Nothing.
    I should note that Photoshop crashes when using the Move Tool to move an object without ant lines around it, i.e., a layer. I'll move the object, and after two to three seconds, the mentioned error message will appear and Windows will close Photoshop. This, however, only seems to happen after selecting, copying, and pasting part of a large object with some variation of the Marqee Tool (thus making that part a new layer by default) while working at a zoom of 100%. So, in short, working with a large image like <a href=http://www.wallpaper4me.com/images/wallpapers/ergo_proxy_267_1280-862301.jpeg>This</a> at 100% zoom. The image linked is the image that I was using and am currently using to reproduce the problem. It is 1280x1024 pixels. I have tested this with somewhat smaller, yet comparable images too. Same problem. I have never had this problem working with large images before, and I wonder if anyone has any suggestions short of formatting my hard drive.

    Even a decent RAM upgrade is usually only a few hundred dollars nowadays, but it's not a trivially simple process.  That said, with a little research and care you can do it.  Alternatively, you can hire people (e.g., "Geek Squad") to do such an upgrade.
    First, you'll need to know what your operating system capacity is.  For example, a 32 bit Windows system can really only use up to a bit more than 3 GB of RAM, while a 64 bit Windows system can use all the RAM you can find a place to plug in.  What version of Windows are you running?
    Then you'll need to determine what RAM you have installed and what your computer's maximum RAM capacity is - usually you can do this through internet research, either by visiting your computer manufacturer's web site or doing google searches.  There are even RAM manufacturer web sites that will tell you what kind of RAM your computer needs and suggest sources, for example:
    http://www.kingston.com/
    It may be that you can just plug additional chips into currently empty sockets, or it is possible you'll need to replace the RAM chips you have installed in your computer to make room for an upgrade.  Every computer is different.
    If you list your computer model and current RAM that you have installed here, it may be that someone can help with more specific advice.

    I have tried in-installing safari but it seems not to help. I have tried installing it to a third, newly installed pc and come to the same result.
    All PCs are fully up-to-date as it regards Microsoft and Apple patches. Any ideas as to why this might happen?

    Still having the same problem. Ever the optimist, I submit the following info.

  • Photoshop Elements 9 shutting down when using the Spot Healing Brush

    Hello! I recently downloaded and
    installed the PSE 9 on my PC. Obviously I wanted to check out it's possibil
    ities and especially the Spot Healing Brush. The program seems to work fine until I want to use the Spot Healing Brush
    As soon as I try to apply something to a picture, I get the message something is wrong with "photoshopeditor.exe" and needs to shut down the program.
    That's really annoying and hopefully someone may have the answer and solution why it does this. I run the program on Windows XP (SP3).
    I really appreciate your help. Best regards, CharlesHHH.

    Hello MTSTUNER,
    Somehow my post showed up twice. Anyway...just updated to 9.01 and problem solved!!
    Thanks so much for your quick feedback. Much appreciated. Will now go into exploring its possibilities.

  • Aperture crashes when using the Crop Tool

    I have tried using Aperture in 32 and 64 bit modes. I have the same problem in both when using the Crop Tool. Immediately after I hit "RETURN" key to finalize the crop I have chosen, the VIEW screen goes blank and the SPINNING BEACH BALL appears. I go to the "Force Quit" dialog and Aperture is highlighted in red--signifying a crash (unresponsive application).
    THIS is happening more frequently.
    Help!!

    I had a similar problem. I solved it with these instructions on my blog.

  • Why does Adobe 9 standard crash when using the digital signature

    When using the digital signature in Adobe 9 standard it crashes, it has been repaired, uninstalled and reinstalled and still crashes when putting in the digital signature and not understanding why. Also the digital signature was redone. Your thoughts on this would be most helpful.

    I had the same problems and was VERY frustrated.
    I finally solved my problem by uninstalling reader 9.1, air, acrobat.com and THEN after a restart, installing a lite version of reader 9.1 from this site:
    Good Luck!

  • Sharepoint Designer always crashes when using the Sharepoint people/group picker in a Workflow

    SharePoint designer 2013 (sp1) crashes consistently when doing the following:
    Create workflow
    Create email action
    In the email To field select People/Groups from SharePoint site
    SharePoint Designer crashed and says "Microsoft SharePoint Designer has stopped working"
    This issue has been reported before in SharePoint 2010 on TechNet as a bug in the software, but with no proper resolution.  I am very surprised that it is still an issue in 2013 version (sp1 which was released Feb 2014) and Microsoft have not tried
    to address this.
    I have read elsewhere that the fix for this is to only have a single IIS binding for the site being used (ie not have additional alternate access mappings).  However this is not possible for us as we need the additional alternate access mappings.
    Any help/suggestions gratefully received.
    Thanks

    One way is as you mentioned try the below link

  • Laptop crashes when using the internet - Satellite Pro L100

    Hi i got my laptop (satellite pro L100) 5 days ago and i connect through a router to the internet, but over the last few days when im using the internet a help window opens automatically and about 90 internet explorer windows open, it became really frustrating, im using norton which came with it, anyone got any ideas ive ran a virus scan and adaware scan but came up with nothing
    thanks
    Mark

    Hi
    I can understand you very well. For me its a shock if 90 IE windows would appear on my little notebook screen. SCREAM !!! :O
    However, did you install any 3rd party applications which could open the windows?
    I think this is not a normal system state and if it appears since view days so you should try to roll back the OS to the early point.
    Furthermore you could try to check in the MSCONFIG what background processes runs on the OS. If there are some very strange processes you should disable it and you should remove it from the autorun.

  • Lightroom crashes when using the Adjustment Brush

    Message title was edited by: Brett N

    Hey Brett,
    Thank you for your quick respond
    Well, there was a message after it crashed asking me if I want to report or send an email, which I did. Then it says that Adobe is an able to know the problem. Maybe this is the message you are talking about.
    I have imported the same file from another source, and to a new catalog. same thing. In fact, I managed to apply both tools before it crashes, now every time I go to the same photo and just zoom in and out, it crashes.
    I then uninstalled 4.3 and downgraded to 4.2. It works fine with this version (even the same old file that caused everything) it is just really slow version. 4.1 (straight from the CD) was REALLY fast and with no issues.. or maybe I didn't get to push it to its limits. 4.3 is slower but crashes. 4.2 is very slow but never crashes.
    I'm saying that after uninstalling and reinstalling all these versions couple of times each.
    I was considering upgrading my OS to 10.8.3 (even though I really don't want to) just to see if I can run 4.3 properly. But then I read that 4.3 is widely problematic and that is why 4.4 is coming out so soon.
    What do you suggest? Should I stick with 4.2 for the time being? Just received a reply from another staff member saying that I should just wait for 4.4 Is there any time frame to the release?
    Sorry for making it this long..
    Much obliged

  • Aperture 3 hangs and crashes when using the retouch brush

    Hi. I upgraded from A2 to A3 recently. I was pretty happy until I started to use the Retouch brush, which in best cases is incredibly slow (churns and churns...), and often makes A3 crash. It already killed one of my finest photo by corrupting the entire file. I am using a Macbook Pro with 2 GB of RAM and an Intel Core Duo processor, which is within the recommended system requirement. Anyone is having the same horrible experience? Any idea on why this is happening and what the fix is (besides buying a $3.300 Mac Pro?). If this is not getting better I am considering switching to Windows 7 and Adobe Lightroom...

    Happening to me too,
    A3 is the first time I've used it, on the 3.00 release besides the memory leak, I thought it was normal for the retouching to take ages,
    but I think since the last patch its started to hang, a restart cures it, but its pretty poor tbh,
