SDK messed up my Photoshop and slowed my system slightly

I installed the SDK, and then my Photoshop CS3 started hanging on launch. I de-installed the SDK and all was well again.
Also, my system was just slightly slower, with almost imperceptible pauses - for instance scrolling a web page in Safari, or populating a folder listing. Not a big deal, but something definitely changed. It is performing as it should now that I removed the SDK.
Just what does this SDK do to a system? Anyone else notice these issues?

These issues were experienced while the SDK was NOT running. Photoshop simply would not run and would freeze on the copyright screen. System was definitely sluggish. The sluggishness was experienced immediately after the SDK installer's required reboot.
Uninstalling the SDK cleared up both issues.
I agree that the SDK should not be installed on a production system though.

DVDRW is Mega-Slow and slows the system down

Hi,
I have:
4 x SATA2 disks on the ICH7 (three in RAID 0, one as single disk)
1 x IDE DVDRW on the Secondary IDE port, set as slave
When I burned a DVD yesterday the sound started to slow, I thought it was the application. But when I try to install a game DVD, the same thing happens .. the sound becomes 'jittery' and most noticeably the DVD takes AGES (FOREVER) to read.
I checked the BIOS, JMicron is set to IDE. the rest is set to defaults.
I checked Device Manager, the only active channel (Secondary IDE) which was set to 'PIO ONLY'. I changed this to 'DMA if available' but it's still in PIO mode. I beleive it should be in DMA??
Should I be using a different cable? I'm using the MSI supplied cable at present.
Any assistance would be much appreciated!

You already have the latest stable release from MSI, but unfortunately lots of MSI customers have a problem with this BIOS version. There is a Beta release (1.6a) that BOSSKILLER posted earlier
http://www.ukshazam.com/download/bosskiller/7235v16A.rar
and it’s upgrading the Jmicron BIOS version too. You can choose between DOS or Windows flashing procedure. If you decide in Windows mode, download the latest BIOS version from MSI Live Update (Application that came with your Installation CD for keeping your MB up to date) and the file from the link above. After everything downloaded, go to Program files-Setup files replace only the bios file (extension .150) with the one from the link above(extension .16A), and run the MSIsetup file. Make sure that the Clear CMOS option is selected. For safety reason, make a recovery floppy and check for some setting in BIOS before flashing, so that you can configure the new version of the BIOS properly.
About the Widows drivers, Go to Control Panel – System- Hardware - Device Manager- “SCSI and RAID controllers” – right click on Jmicron- Uninstall.
Then: Control Panel- Add or Remove Programs – JRAID-uninstall.
Restart your computer, and when you’ll be prompt that “Found New Hardware”, click cancel on the “Found New Hardware wizard” and install the drivers that I’ve posted earlier (double click on the setup file).
Try with the drivers first, and if the installation is successful under DVD/CD Rom Devices you will notice that the drive is recognized as SCSI cD/Rom Device.
Good Luck

PyLoad Daemon issue - unable to restart and slow down system reboot

Hi all,
I have installed pyLoad from aur
=> https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=34435 (by the way, a great download manager - Highly recommended)
I follow the wiki to be able to launch it as a daemon while the system boot up, create so when switching users it still download (and I can also access it via android on my phone.
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/PyLoad#Daemon
The issue is when executing "/etc/rc.d/pyLoadCore restart/stop" it doesn't respond. And also when I power off or reboot the system it hangs for 10/15 seconds than return to the login screen for another 10/15 seconds then reboot/power off.
I know it's pyLoad daemon creating the issue, I have tested without. Also when pyLoadCore is started via the .desktop the system doesn't hangs at reboot/power off.
Any suggestion why it behave like that?
Many thanks for your time,
Looking forward for your replies,
Regards,

Hi again,
Is there a way to amend the script for the daemon not to start with the root ("su") rights?
I have obviously tried to remove the "su" from the script but that failed,
Looking forward for your reply,

Illustrator and Photoshop (and Skype) keep quitting unexpectedly at launch

I wasn't sure which specific one I should post this in, Illustrator, or Photoshop, or somewhere else :T So I apologize if this isn't the right place. But I really need to fix this problem. All 3 of these programs keep doing this..And I don't know why. So I deleted Illustrator and was going to reinstall it, however when I click on Adobe Installer, it also quits unexpectedly! Can you someone help me out to fix this problem? Thanks.

You have deleted Illustrator and going to run the cleanscript then make sure before running clean script you remove all adobe product because I beleive you haven't removed photoshop and it may cause issue in uninstallation after you run the clean script.
Follow the steps:-
1) Remove the complete suite using the uninstaller :-
Win;- Go to control panel and uninstall
Mac:- Mac HD-->Applications-->Utilities-->Adobe Installers
2) Run teh cleanscript
3) Create a new user account and then install
---it will be better if you let us know the version of Illustrator , photoshop and the Operating system you are using.

Creative cloud and Photoshop so slow as to be unusable.

I have been having an ongoing problem with both Creative Cloud and Photoshop. Both programs have slowed down to the point of being inoperable. For example, it takes 1-5 minutes just to choose a tool in Photoshop. When either of these programs are open, it slows the entire computer to a snails pace. It was all working fine until about 2 months ago, when it suddenly stopped. I don't recall if there was an update at the time of the slowdown. The only change I remember making was adding some Kyle Webster brushes, but I removed those and the problem still exists.
I have run a number of diagnostics and virus scans on my computer, and all show no problems with it. (I have a mid 2010 iMac) So far, I have increased the memory to 16 GB, reset the preferences in photoshop, and checked the other things listed on the help site. I have tried to uninstall/ reinstall both Photoshop and Creative cloud using the adobe cleaner app a number of times. With the assistance of some help center employees, the system preferences have been reset, we have cleared the .tmp files, created a new administrator user and tried to open it in that user to test if it is a permission problem. Nothing has worked and the problem seems to be getting worse. Does anyone have any ideas on what might be going wrong, or something else I can try? I am a designer with a growing backlog of work that needs this program, so I really need to solve this problem quickly.
Thank you!!!
Kim

Why Photoshop and Illustrator CS6 are so slow on my MacBook Pro early 2011?

First of all sorry for my english
I recently installed Photoshop and Illustrator CS6 and they tend to lag even on just during normal work operations like zooming, opening a file, selecting a tool, browsing menus etc etc.
Cpu, Ram and Gpu usage are normal, I mean when I use these software there's at list 85% of free Cpu, 1GB of Ram still available, and 80% of free GPU. And I got 30GB left on my hardrive which is little but I believe is enough.
So I cannot believe this slow performance is due hardware limitations. There must be some driver issue or something else.
Anyone knows why CS6 is so slow?
Software version:
Photoshop CS6 13.0.1
Illustrator CS6 13.0.0
My Specs:
Os: Snow Leopard 10.6.8
Cpu: Intel Core i7 2.3 GHz
L2 Cache (per Core): 256 KB
L3 Cache: 8 MB
4GB ram
AMD Radeon HD 6750M

My experience is that Photoshop can demand and use prodigious amounts of memory and disk space, much more than one might expect from the size of the files being worked on. While I don't have direct experience with CS6, my daughter uses CS4 on a Macbook Air with 4 GB memory and she had 100 GB free (on a 250 GB solid state drive). CS4 is less demanding than CS6, and in fact with the SSD, it runs pretty well, even with just 4 GB memory (the solid state drive is basically like memory, in fact, in some ways). However after running Photoshop on some projects for a while, we noticed she had only 60 GB free disk space. After restarting her Mac, she had 100 GB free again. Photoshop CS4 was using up 40 GB of disk space! And this was simply editting some (multiple) photos from a digital camera. Photoshop not only has its own memory management processes, but it also pages to disk and uses disk space as "scratch space" in its own fashion. I think that it is inadvisable to run Photoshop with less than 100 GB free disk space, and that's with CS4, not even CS6. And if you don't have a solid state drive, the throughput might slow down immensely unless you have a lot of memory (I think someone else pointed this out already).
Bottom line -- based on what I have seen with CS4, 4 GB memory is too low by at least a factor of x2 (16 GB memory would be even better), and I'd say a minimum of 100 GB free disk space is a must as well. I saw CS4 using more than 40 GB of "scratch disk space" and you are using CS6, which must use significantly more resources than CS4, and you indicate only 30 GB free space. That seems too low to me. I think other Adobe major software packages are similarly demanding, unlike any other software I have seen or used. For instance, I think you would have no trouble running MS-Office software (which is also known for using computer resources, but not anywhere as much as Adobe software).
One thing you can do is when you notice things slowing down, not only quit all other software except for CS6, but also in the Finder, under the Go menu, enter
/private/var
under Go To Folder ...
and then look in the folder called
vm
If you see swapfiles, add up the total space they are taking, and also the space taken by the sleepimage file. These are working to decrease the amount of free space you have and they can quickly grow to tens of GB when Photoshop and other Adobe softwares are running.
Since it sounds like you have now upgraded your RAM, that should help, but you may find that the swapfiles and sleepimage files are taking even more disk apce faster and I think 100 GB free space is needed to avoid further slowdowns.

Screen flickers and photoshop becomes slow

Hi,
I have been using photoshop for quite a while now and have never faced any issues until now. I upgraded from windows 7/64 bit to windows 8.1/64 bit and the problems have started. When I turn on the ruler view my ruler flickers and also the photoshop becomes slow. If I hold the spacebar(hand tool) and want to move to some area it's not smooth. When the ruler view is turned off it's all fine but as a web designer I can't do without the ruler. Earlier I had the whole screen flickering issues but I did some search on the internet and have tuned the drawing board to basic and that has solved the issue but not the ruler flickering issue. BTW I am using Photoshop CC. I am unable to work on it and I need some help please help me guys.
Thank you

Creative Cloud Member Photoshop and Bridge sooo slow

My Video Card is not supported for photoshop CC and my photoshop and Bridge are sooo slow now. I also keep getting errors about the 3D options not working because of this. As a photographer all I am doing is editing photos do I need the 3D options ? Can I disable Them, Can I go back to photoshop 6 with Creative Cloud?

Yes, with CC you also get PS6. Although think there will be the same problems as the on line version is 3D also. Photoshop needs RAM and Bridge needs processor speed to function well.

Slow swapping between Photoshop and Illustrator

I have had this issue for a while now where it takes forever to swap between photoshop and illustrator, even if nothing is on my clipboard. It also seems like it takes forever for photoshop to display its UI no matter what program I am working in prior to clicking on it on the task bar. Once I am in the programs, they run fine until I try to save or print, at which point to slow to a crawl again. It wasn't always like this, but I had to do a system restore a couple of weeks ago to fix a bad boot file, and now the programs run like crap. I have noticed that the person who worked here prior to me never uninstalled the previous versions of Design Standard. So I am just tyring to figure out a way to speed things up because this should not be going this slow.
My computer specs
Windows XP Professional
2.83ghz Quad Core Intel Processor
4GB RAM (tech under since XP pro only supports 3.3)
GeForce 9800 512MB Vid card
All my drivers have been updated and I did a registry cleaner which did not fix the problem. So any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks

Imo, you should establish a rather strict
color management strategy (examples):
1. Define in Photoshop:
RGB: AdobeRGB(98)
CMYK: ISOCoated
Gray: Black Ink ISO Coated (Custom profile)
Spot: Black Ink ISO Coated
2. Distribute this profile set by Bridge
3. Convert RGB images in Photoshop to CMYK
4. Define Color space in Illustrator as CMYK
5. Open the Photoshop file or the Tiff file in
Illustrator: here it looks as expected.
Problems: the CMYK file contains an ICC-profile
which is different to the global CMYK-definition.
Now it depends on the CMS strategies, and that's
the point where I'm usually giving up.

Slow Using Photoshop and InDesign

We have several 2GHz C2D Mac minis with 2GB RAM running Leopard. The users are complaining that using Photoshop CS4 and InDesign CS2 is slow. Is this to be expected? Would it be better to upgrade the PowerMac G5's we also have to Leopard, and use the software on that instead? Thanks.

Photoshop and InDesign both need a lot of room in RAM to run at a decent speed. Between just what the OS and Photoshop need, 2 GB of RAM isn't enough. You're getting a lot of page outs to disk in order to run these apps. Even worse if you have both PS and InDesign running at the same time. You really need at least 4 GB of RAM to see good performance.
So yes, since the Mac Minis can't have more than 3 GB of RAM installed, you'd be much happier with the performance of these apps on the G5s. But you'll still have to have more than 2 GB of RAM installed, or you essentially won't see any difference. You would want to have at least 4 GB of RAM installed on the G5s.

Leopard running Aperture and Photoshop really slow

I just got Leopard and my Aperture and Photoshop are running slow and crashing, also when I run Pro Tools it won't boot up all the time. This is really frustrating. I keep loosing files images. This is running like Bill Gates made it.

Have you checked what it going on, when Aperture becomes sluggish?
I'd recommend to launch some diagnostic tools, if you have not already done so:
Aperture's own "Activity Viewer": From the main menu bar: Window > Show Activity
This will tell you, how Aperture is spending its time : rendering, previews, scanning for faces or places, raw processing. Inparticulur, check, if Aperture is hanging while processing one particular image or video over and over again.
The Console window: Launch it from the Utilities folder in the Applications folder. Look, if you see error messages or warnings in this window, when Aperture starts to hang.
The Activity Monitor: Launch it from the Utilities folder in the Applications folder. This window will tell you, which processes are using the cpu, the RAM, and doing page outs to the disk. You can see, if other processing are competing with Aperture and slowing it down, orif Aperture is starved for memory.
How large are images? Do you have very large raw files or scans, or are your photos moderately sized?
Is your library on the internal drive or an external drive?
Do you see this slowness only with your main Aperture library, or also, if you create a new, small library with a few test images?

On macbook pro photoshop is slow and not working. In activity monitor I get switchboard nor responding

photoshop bridge on my 3 year old mac pro has become inoperable. In activity monitor is is using 180+ percent of CPU. I also get switchboard not operating. I deleted all of photoshop and bridge and reloaded them. Same problem. Does anyone know a solution. Setting up a new user account has been suggested.
Thank you

Hi @Tom,
Thanks for your response. "Camera Uploads" is a folder in which Dropbox deposits all my photos and movie clips from my cameras. It is a rather enormous folder likely exceeding several gigs of media.
The file path is
/Users/bpg/Dropbox/Camera Uploads/
I really don't know the difference between "media" and "events". I consider media a group or bunch of photos and movie clips. I consider "events" a specific bucket or container of photos and movie clips. If I should know more, a reference to documentation or an explanation of the difference would receive "This helped me." If you could explain how to get FCPX working again (it just won't do anything beyond the splash screen), I will provide "This solved my question."
Thanks for your help!

Slow to create Organiser Catalog & Thumbnails in Photoshop and Premiere?

This is a newbie question ... I tried to find an answer, however most posts seem to be about specific issues.
Background
I have just upgraded my PC to an intel quad processor (6600), new motherboard, 4gb DDR 800mhz ram, 512mb geforce video card and new 500Gb SATA2 HDD.
I've purchaesd and installed Photoshop Elements 6 and Premiere 4 and am now trying to get all my photos and videos into the organiser.
Issue
I have moved all my photos and videos to a specific folder and have run the Get Photos option in photoshop organiser. It finds something like 11,000 items and loads them up. From this point there are no thumbnails displayed, they are all greyed out and it says "Generating Thumbnails" in the bottom left of the frame. I left this runnning overnight, and in the mornign there are still no thumbnails displayed (slider all the way to left to show max number of thumbs).
What I was hoping to do was to load up all images and videos, then gradually work my way through them assigning ratings and metadata ... seems that it is taking an awefully long time to load ... am I following the wrong approach?
Another related issue is that when I load premiere 4 and select the "Organiser" tab, the system seems to hang for a long time when displaying video's only (about 30Gb of videos) ... if I try to page down on the thumbnails of videos, the system hangs and takes about 5mins to re-fresh the view.
Maybe I'm following the worng approach in trying to organise all images and videos at teh same time ?? ... any ideas on how I can do this more effectively, as at the moment it seems that the organiser in Photoshop and Elements runs extremely slowly.
Cheers

Ben,
I suggest loading all your photos first and getting that straightened out before tackling Premiere. So first, start with a fresh catalog and import just the photos into it.
The PSE 6 Organizer has lots of problems generating thumbnails when you first load a catalog, but most people have been able to work through those problems reasonably quickly.
If you have lots of raw files, you need to follow the recipe in this article:
http://www.adobeforums.com/webx/.59b53a81
Otherwise, try rebuilding the Organizers thumbnail cache:
1. In Help > System Info, find the folder containing your catalog.
2. Exit PSE.
3. In that folder, delete the file thumb.5.cache.
4. Restart PSE.
5. Edit > Select All.
6. Edit > Update Thumbnail.
This can take a long time, roughly 10,000 JPEGs per hour.

Is there any "simple" documentation on the steps to download and install Photoshop and Premiere Elements V13? The downloads seems to work but there's nothing clear on what do you do next.

I've been messing with computers since 1958 and I've never seen such a mess as trying to download and install the recently purchased copies of Photoshop and Premiere Elements Version 13. Slow downloads? Sure, but I can live with that. But once downloaded, what next? Look for a xxx.exe file somewhere in the pile? Read the "ReadMe" file? All I seem to get is unzipping some files with nothing leading me into the proper steps. I can't even seem to get off the ground. Everything I touch unzips and just lies there. I hate to think I've gone dumb after all of these years, but "user friendly" this is not. My "Your order confirmation" sheet gives me "Follow the instructions below to start using it today" and the first three steps work as you'd expect. Step 4 states "After you have completed the download process, your serial number will be displayed in the download center." Step 5 is "You can log back into 'Adobe Account Management' in the future to re-download your product or retrieve your serial number. ...." I have no problem with my serial number but there seems to be a lot missing between Steps 4 and 5. It would be nice to have this information as pretty standard "stuff. Computers are supposed to do super stuff without a lot of time-consuming problems with a simple process like installing the software. I'm feeling a bit hostile about this but it is a time-consuming, frustrating process.

Justin created a guide to using Favorites. It will help you a lot with what you seek. He has a link to it in this thread.

Problem with "Edit in Photoshop" and Lightroom 2.1 failing to import new file

I am a new user to Lightroom, so I won't be surprised if the problem is at the dull end of the keyboard...
I am working with Lightroom 2.1 (still in my 30-day free trial), Photoshop CS3 with ACR 4.6, on Windows XP (fully updated). My image files are mostly .cr2 files (canon raw).
When I "edit with photoshop" in Lightroom, it fires up Photoshop and brings the file up for edit as expected. Photoshop shows the file name as something like _MG_2326.CR2, as (I presume) expected. When I'm done editing in Photoshop, and I save the file, Lightroom brings up a message "The file could not be imported because it could not be read." and "It may be an incompatible format." on a second line.
If I synchronize the folder in Lightroom it picks up the save file without issue (though its not automatically stacked with the original).
I have tried messing around with the different options in the preferences "external editing" tab -- file format, color space and bit depth (I can't imagine resolution would matter). No joy there.
I have also tried setting photoshop up as the additional external editor and if I do that it works correctly. However, in this case, it makes a copy of the file before opening photoshop which slows things down a little.
Is this a problem that anybody else has seen before? Any solutions or work-arounds?
Thanks,
Doug

I'm back trying to sort this problem out (got distracted for a couple of days by trying to get my monitor calibrated).
Rearranging the folder structure didn't help. But I now have a better organized catalog, so that's ok :)
What I did find is that if I import files into lightroom using the "file/import photos from device", then I can edit them normally afterwards (that is, when I save the file in photoshop cs3, the new file gets picked up correctly by lightroom and gets correctly stacked with the original). This is true even if the new files get added into the same directory structure that I'm having troubles with.
So it looks like the directory structure is a red herring. It looks like the problem is in the catalog, with the way that lightroom originally imported my files. I created my original catalog by allowing lightroom to read my elements 6 catalog.
It seems that I have this edit problem with all catalog entries that were imported from elements 6, but I don't have any problem with catalog entries that lightroom brings in directly (either through "import photos from device" or by adding a new folder to the lightroom catalog).
So right now it looks like there is a problem with the elements catalog conversion.
Is this a problem that anybody else has seen? Any suggestions for getting around it?
