Slow Intel Photoshop VS Slow G4 Photoshop?

I'm very interested in buying a 15" 2.0GHz MacBook Pro to replace my 1.33GHz 12" PowerBook. Since I've heard that Photoshop runs extremely slow on the new Intel Core Duo, I'm a little hesitate if I should get an 2.0GHz 15" MBP or if I should get an 1.5GHz 15" PB instead, or... simply save my money and keep using my 1.33GHz 12" PB.
My main concern is... if Photoshop doesn't run slower on the 2.0GHz MBP than the 1.33GHz PB, then I'll definitely get the MBP and have a taste of Apple's wide screen display and backlit keyboard... but if Photoshop DOES run slower... I guess I'll just start weeping until next year when UB Photoshop comes out...
Please help!

I had a 17" 1.33mhz powerbook and just upgraded to a 17" macbook pro. Before I sold my powerbook I checked them out side by side running Photoshop CS2. I can tell you that Photoshop CS2 running under Rosetta was faster than Photoshop on my old powerbook. It was noticeable. Hope this helps.

  • Adobe Photoshop CS6 Very Slow On Rendering Type

    I have a notebook with specification as mentioned below :
    Lenovo Ideapad Y470P
    2nd generation Intel Core i7-2670QM Processor( 2.2GHz 1333MHz 6MB)
    Windows 7 Ultimate x64
    AMD Radeon HD 7690 2GB
    8.0GB PC3-10600 DDR3 SDRAM 1333 MHz
    750GB 5400
    I'm using Adobe Photoshop CS6 (64 Bit) for doing my job.
    Right now, i have a task to create a banner with dimension 800 x 900 Centimeters with Resolution 300 DPI and Color Mode RGB 16 Bit.
    The file size when blank is about 56.1 GB.
    The problem is, when i add some text with Horizontal Type Tool and click on the Move Tool, the Rendering Type screen show up and take a very very long time to finished.
    I have made some configurations to my Photoshop that i found on Adobe Forum, but the problem still persisted.
    Some configurations that i've made is :
    - Turn off the Automatically Save Recovery Information
    - Set Maximize PSD and PSB File Compatibility to Ask
    - Set the Memory Usage to 95%
    - Set the Cache Levels to 8 and Cache Tile Size to 1024K
    - Set the Graphics Advanced Settings to Drawing Mode Advanced, and Check the option Use Graphics Processor To Accelerate Computation, and Uncheck the option Anti-Alias and 30 Bit Display
    - Set the Scratch Disk to another partition ( C:System D:PageFile E:Data F:Scratch Disk)
    And after all of that configuration, my Photoshop still slow when Rendering Type.
    Could you give me some tips to solve my problem?
    Thanks

    300 ppi for a banner that size is categorically not normal.  Guaranteed. 
    Get specific instructions from the shop that is going to print it.
    You keep confusing ppi with dpi.  The resolution of an image file really is expressed in ppi, pixels per inch, not "dpi" which is dots per inch.  The precise terminology is as follows:
    DPI = Dots per inch = units used to measure the resolution of a printer
    LPI = Lines per inch = The offset printing 'lines' or dots per inch in a halftone or line screen.
    PPI = Pixels per inch = the number of pixels per inch in screen/scanner file terms.
    Here's a link to a discussion that may interest you:
    http://graphicdesign.stackexchange.com/questions/487/what-ppi-should-a-large-format-artwor k-for-print-be-done-at
    It includes the following chart and subsequent comments :
    "The rule of thumb is that we need 1.5 to 2 times the LPI in PPI to get acceptable results.
    "Viewing Distance   Present Study    
    20 feet    greater than 10 LPI  
    18 feet    18.75 LPI or greater 
    16 feet    18.75 LPI or greater 
    14 feet    37.5 LPI or greater  
    12 feet    37.5 LPI or greater  
    10 feet    50 LPI or greater    
    8 feet     65 LPI or greater    
    6 feet     85 LPI or greater    
    4 feet     100 LPI or greater   
    2 feet     133 LPI or greater   
    1 foot     150 LPI or greater   
    6 inches   150 LPI or greater
    "Presumably, for a banner 3m x 5m, you'd be standing at a minimum of, say, 10 feet. (Just eyeballing the wall here.) So, by this table, you'll need 50 LPI minimum. That would mean your raster graphics should be about 100 PPI, or 75 PPI at 12-14 feet. Considering that and the fact that 2x LPI is pretty conservative for reproducing fidelity (often 1.5xLPI is "enough"), this agrees with [the given] advice of 75 PPI being acceptable."
    Talk to your printer.  I suspect they will want a file at under 75 ppi, or even much less.  Follow the printer's advice/request.

  • Photoshop CS3 opening files painfully slow on a Mac

    We're having an issue here at work where Photoshop CS3 is very slow in opening files of any size on our Macs.
    We're running 10.5.8 on 2x2.66 GHz Dual-Core Intel Xeon MacPros with 3 of them having 8 gigs of ram and my machine running 12 gigs.
    I've tried doing a bunch of research on the issue, but all I can find about it has to do with the issue on a Windows machine involving the network/default printers. I've tried deleting both our network printers and adding them again after a restart with no luck. We've even tried deleting the Photoshop preference file along with the Adobe Mediabrowser preference.
    If anybody has any thoughts on how to fix this (aside from upgrading to a newer CS), they would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks in advance!

    Ok, I think I found a little work around that so far, for the past hour or so is working good. Files are opening up a lot faster.
    What I did was create a virtual default printer following instructions I found Adobe's site...
    1. Open System Preferences, and select Print & Fax.
    2. Choose the + sign to add a new printer.
    3. Choose IP.
    4. In the Protocol pop-up menu, choose Line Printer Daemon - LPD.
    5. In the Address field, type in localhost.
    6. After Generic PostScript printer displays in the Print Using field, click Add.
    7. Close out of the Print & Fax preference or Quit System Preferences.
    http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/set-default-printer-print-center.html
    Once I did all that, I had to go into the Preferences and delete the Photoshop and Mediabrowser preferenses and then restart the computer. Hopefully this fix sticks, but if not, I'm sure I'll back to see if anybody has any other ideas.
    Thanks for all the help guys, I really appreciate it.
    EDIT
    Well, it's been a few days and it looks like I may have spoke too soon on the above fix. Photoshop seems to be slowly reverting back to the problem.

  • Photoshop is running very slow in a very high power computer

    Hello to all the community.
    Recently I buyed a new PC and I have all the CC adobe softwares.
    Here are the specs of my PC:
    - W7 64 bits
    - Seasonic M12II EVO-750W 80Plus Bronze
    - Samsung 850 PRO Series 256 GB 2.5" SATA 3
    - ASROCK X99 Extreme6
    - Intel Core i7-5820K 3.3GHz CPU
    - RAM: G.Skill 32 GB DDR4-2133 (F4-2133C15Q-32GRK, Ripjaws 4 Black)
    - NVIDIA Quadro® K620 2GB GDDR5 Low Profile Bulk
    - GIGABYTE GeForce GTX970 G1 GAMING OC-4GB
    - CORSAIR Hydro Series H105
    As you can see, I have 2 graphics, the 970 for gaming and common use and the Quadro for work uses.
    Thing is, softwares like After Effects and Premiere works fine, but Illustrator, Indesign and specially Photoshop works very slow, in the Ps case, so slow even with small files...
    I don't know why happen this if I have a very nice computer. Maybe one of you know the solution or what happens? I tried to find the solution looking in internet, but I didn't find it yet.
    Thank you very much!

    Thank you Chris Cox for your answer and your time.
    I changed all the softwares to another SSD drive, not in the SSD local drive (the C) and they run now very good and fluently. Maybe this was the problem...
    The C drive is a Samsung 850 PRO Series 256 GB 2.5" SATA 3 and I changed to OCZ SSD Vertex 4 128Gb.

  • Indesign slow with Bridge -Photoshop-Illustrator

    Hello there,
    First, sorry for my english i'm French.
    One of my collegue is experiencing  issue with CS6 indesign.
    Installed in a PC with Intel core i7 370 2.93/2.93 gHZ, 16 GB RAM.
    Windows seven 64 bits.
    Once he open a files of more than 10 Mb in Indisign and open in the same times Bridge or photoshop to integrate pictures or illustrator the PC get really slow and the users must wait several minutes to get the work done.
    I never use myself The CS6 so I don't know if this behaviour is normal.
    Before that the user was using CS4 and he did not have so much trouble with the same kind of files and he was doing the same work on it.
    Beside the CS6, the unit has some standart software installed, Microsoft office 2003 and basically that's all except web navigator and some soft like cccleaner,VLC,Quicktime, nero burning room, kaspersky antivirus...
    He never get any error message, or blue screen or whatever...microsoft and adobe updates are done.
    All users in the services have the same hardware and software and this is the only one who had issue, the only difference is that he is working on bigger files.
    I have ask him to try to work on the PC of his colllegue to check if issue appears to but he willbe able to do the test tomorow PM only.
    When we have migrate from CS4 to CS6, I did not reinstall windows, just desinstalled CS4 and then install CS6.
    I didn't use the CS cleaner tool....
    Did someone knows where the issue can come from ? drive access or software related ?
    It's busy timing for now so I don't want to reinstall all the PC and CS6 before knowing it will solved the issue.
    Thx a lot,
    Elisa

    Is there any technical support when you buy CS6 ???
    I mean our compagny had Cs4 before and now -  like there is no upgrade anymore-  we bought 9 complete CS6 license ( including 2 master) and no help from adobe ?
    So basically:  adobe, it's we get your money we are happy if  you have issue,  we don't give a s**t !!!

  • Adobe Photoshop CC2014 internet connection very slow

    Hi,
    I'm developing an Adobe Photoshop HTML5 (website) extension. This is working fine in Photoshop CC, but is very slow in CC2014.
    Today I've installed an update for Photoshop CC2014 and I was presented with an 'introduction' screen, loaded from the web.
    This had the same slowness, indicating my extension is not at fault.
    The regular functionality of Photoshop has a normal speed, and I'm working on a recent computer with Win 7 64bit.
    I've recorded a video showing how slow it really is (and proof that my internet connection has sufficient speed)
    http://videobam.com/gmNun
    How can I solve this?
    Thanks!

  • Photoshop cs6 running extremely slow on opening a file. have reset prefs and set type to none.

    Photoshop cs6 running extremely slow on opening a file. have reset prefs and set type to none. have to force quit  most of the time.

    I'm experiencing the same trouble.  Photoshop takes 5 minutes to open then runs fine.
    I recently bought a new iMac AND updated to Adobe Master Collection CS6.  My concern is that PhotoShop now takes 5 minutes to open. The Photoshop desktop pops up immediately, but the moment you click on a tool or try to open a file (no matter the size) results in the spinning wheel for five minutes before you can do anything.  After that, Photoshop appears to work fine.
    What I’ve done:
    Ran Adobe updater
    Reset Photoshop Preferences
    Validated all fonts and removed any trouble fonts
    Ran the font test
    Set font preview size to none
    Cleared the Photoshop type cache and system cache
    Disabled Symantec Endpoint
    Tried running with the GPU processor on/off and in basic
    Tried opening Photoshop with optional third party plug-ins turned off (still took five minutes but this time I didn’t even get the Photoshop desktop view until AFTER the five minutes)
    I’m wondering since I migrated the files form my old computer (and older versions of Master Collection) did something get corrupted.

  • After Photoshop CC 2014 update - Photoshop is very slow (Windows 7)

    After updating today to the latest photoshop cc2014 Version, Photoshop starts very slow and is not useable.
    I updated from V. 2014.1.0 to 2014.2.1 20141014.r.257.
    Starting Photoshop Needs 6 minutes (before 1.5 minutes). The menue and button reactiontime is more than slow, you cant work with this Setup.
    Is there a Problem with the new release?
    And please Adobe, dont tell me, my System has a problem. Did only an update on the CC2014 Suite via creative cloud. Old PS Version (2014.1.0)runs great.
    After testing a few time, I recovered my System back to Version 2014.1.0 with Windows recovery and Photoshop works good again.
    So whats wrong with the new release?
    My PC config:

    The CC 2014 update  2014.2.1 is a month old and ACR 8.7 is two days old.  Something strange is happening to you.  First try resetting your Photoshop Preferences. This is a Adobe Photoshop User forum your not dealing with Adobe here. You seem to think you are and your attitude seems like you not open to to possibility that your system may have a problem. I think you may have one..

  • Photoshop CS6 - Very Slow Brush Speeds...

    Hi:
    I thought CS5 was bad, but brushing with CS6 all brush strokes are very, very slow. If I make a brush stoke I have literally have to put my hand on my chin and wait for the brush to catch up. I cannot work like this. Any suggestions on what to do to speed up the brushes? Forget about adding anything else to Photoshop, please work on speeding up exisiting functions.
    Photoshop CS6, 13x 64Bit

    Hi:
    I had added a link to my previous post to a page regarding performance that you may want to check out.
    Thank you, I'll check it out.
    What are your Preferences > Performance settings?
    Memory Usage
    Available RAM: 9670
    Let Photoshop Use: 6769 (70%)
    I have a separate scratch disc.
    I have an ATI Radeon HD 2600 OpenGL Card set to: 'Use Graphics Processor' in Advanced mode. Tried other settings and this one seems best.
    15 History states.
    No other programs open.
    How many documents (of what sizes) do you have open?
    Only 1 PSD file open. File size is about 600 MB. Only a handful of layers.
    Does restarting Photoshop have any effect on the issue?
    No.
    >>Forget about adding anything else to Photoshop, please work on speeding up exisiting functions.<<
    Fair enough, I'll save these comments for Adobe!
    Thank you, Glenn

  • Photoshop CC - Slow layer moving

    Hi all,
    I'm experiencing something strange.
    In a Photoshop Document with lots of layers grouped in folders. When I move a folder it moves slow and laggy. But when I select the layers in this folder, they move pefect.
    This is what I mean - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UU6lJq9O6u8 ?
    The sittuation get worse when I try to a lot of folders full with folders...
    Any clues why this happen?
    Thanks!

    Yeah, this is total crap.
    I also have a powerful machine, running Nvidia GFX 770, 12G ram, Windows 7, etc.
    I like to use the hand tool, to move about my composition. With PS CC, this takes .5 seconds for it to start moving the screen- not acceptable at all. How is it that each new version of Adobe products introduces new problems that should have never appeared?
    ADOBE! STOP ADDING NEW FEATURES AND PERFECT THE ONES YOU ALREADY HAVE- you are putting out crap.

  • Why is Photoshop CC 64-bit is slower than 32-bit?

    I have a very powerful system.
    HP Z820 Workstation
    Intel Xeon CPU E5-2670 0 @ 2.60 GHz (2 processors)
    64 GB RAM
    64-bit OS
    Windows 7 Pro
    Nvidiea GeForce GTX 690 (2 GPUs) 4 GB VRAM ea.
    But here's the deal. When I'm painting or drawing down to the pixels within Photoshop CC 64-bit, it crawls, the lag is so great!  I have caching on an SSD card even.  Then I had an idea, I switched to the 32-bit version of Photoshop CC and everything is good, it's faster than the 64-bit version. 
    What gives?!?  Why would the 32-bit version be faster than the 64-bit version?

    I know, it's VERY odd. I can actually do things faster in 32-bit mode Photoshop CC. I'm painting a very large digital painting. 180 dpi, at 40" x 24" (for print) - When I first started painting it, I was using Adobe Photoshop CS5 and it was very smooth to paint it, very fast.  But now I've upgraded to Photoshop CC and the 64-bit is VERY slow, and lags terribly.   Then just on a whim, I opened up Photoshop CC 32-bit and could paint just the way I did with the old CS5, very fast and smooth.  It's like Photoshop CC 64-bit was a major step down in performance.
    Here's my system info.

  • 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.

  • Photoshop Elements 12 runs really slow and is almost unusable.

    Photoshop (and Premiere) Elements 12 runs really slow and is almost unusable.
    All other high end software works perfectly including 3D rendering software.
    27" iMac mid 2011.
    16gb of RAM.
    Over 100gb free hdd space.
    Radeon HD card 2GB.
    3.4 GHz Intel Core i7.
    I have tested on tiny low quality images as well.
    I bought this with the bundled Premiere Elements which is also unusable even with the smallest and lowest quality video file.
    iMovie works fine as does other video editing software. I ONLY have an issue with Photoshop and Premiere Elements 12.
    Mavericks 10.9.3
    Elements 12.1

    After the latest update, Firefox is much better. Using it again.
