Upgrade to CS5 from CS4 Performance issues

This was originally posted in the Creative Suites section. Bob Levine suggested I try a specific program forum to get better attention. It has been a present performance problem for me with Premier Pro and Photoshop so I shall try here.
I have been using CS4 for several months on a new i7 quad 64bit PC with 4 x 1TB HDs and 12GB RAM. When I use Photoshop or P.Pro, the performance is fast for several operations but slows down as I progress to a snail pace. At times, I have rebooted the PC to get up to speed again. I do not know if this is a problem with the CS4 32 bit program working on a 64 bit machine, even with Photoshop. Perhaps I am clicking too fast. If I install the source file on a separate drive to the C drive and send the output file to a third drive, performance improves as expected. Perhaps timing within/between drives and the 32 bit program may be a problem on a 64 bit PC. I have ordered an upgrade to CS5 hoping that a 64 bit program will provide better performance on the 64 bit PC. Naturally the PC performance is expected to be faster, but will the performance that slows down to a snail pace improve?

Thank you all for your information.
I am beginning to imagine that because of the increased speed in dealing with data, an i7 quad 64 bit PC has a challenging time to switch and route the stream of data to the various processing and temporary/permanent storage locations. It could be that dealing with 32 bit data for the demands of video editing compounds the problem. I may have one or several slower components in the new PC. In anycase, I am hoping that dealing directly with 64 bits will improve the performance. If this does not and without further suggestions from the forum, I will have the performance of the PC components thoroughly tested for compliance to the required speed specifications.

Can I upgrade to CS5 from CS4 if CS4 is not on my computer?

I downloaded CS4 from the internet and ran it on my computer until the computer crashed and I had to install a new hard drive. I now have CS4 on a backup disk ONLY, and it won't install from the disk for some reason. I get this error message:
UI mode: Full GUI
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::runtime_error'
what(): Invalid path passed to FileSystemPath constructor.
If I upgrade to CS5, does CS4 have to be on my new hard drive to do so? I DO have the registration number for my copy of CS4. I don't want to pay the full price for CS5 when I can pay for the upgrade only.
Thanks!

If you downloaded the CS4 product, then you can still access the download files from your Adobe account. Log in to your account and look under My Orders. (If you weren't able to deactivate the previous installation, you'll need assistance from a support agent before you can reinstall the CS4 software.)
However, you don't need CS4 installed in order to install the upgrade. You do, however, need the CS4 serial number.

Premiere Pro CS5 Playback and Performance Issues

I upgraded (2) separate editing work stations to CS5 from CS4 about a month ago. I moved from 4 to 5 to try and get rid of some problems which both work stations were encountering.
The problems since the upgrade are similiar: playback from timeline has intermittent audio drop out and video going to black during playback, (new one)-video locked up but audio kept playing-system hung and had to be rebooted.
Also, when clicking around on the timeline or scrubbing the timeline, Premiere crashes.
This type of performance on playout or timeline usage is consistent on both machines which have indentical setups and builds. None of this happens all the time but happens enough to causes problems with workflow. We edit on the work stations, dub files to playback system for air, and use a shared server to move files back and forth as needed but files are always stored locally instead of using straight from server.
These machines are:
Premiere Pro CS5.02
OS WIndows 7 Pro 64 bit
12 GB Ram, DDR3-1333 (6-2GB modules)
CPU Intel Xeon Quad Core [email protected] GHZ, 2 processors, 8 MB Cache
500 GB SATA 2 hard drive, 7200 RPM, 32 MC (System Drive)...309 GB of space avail
(3) 1 TB SATA 2 hard drives, 7200RPM, 32 MC (3 TB, RAID0 STorage) 2.16 TB of space avail
Nvidia GE Force 9800 GT Graphics card, DUAL DVI, 1 GB
REaltek High Def Audio, Drivers 6.0.1.5953
(1) monitor in use
output of system runs to ADVC-700 breakout box to feed playback system
I have all of my software installed on C: (309 GB of 500 GB avail)
I have all of my videos files stored on D: (Raid Storage with 2.16 TB of 3 TB avail)
The only changes I've made since installing CS5 would be to change the auto save from 20 minutes to 60 minutes. Don't know if an auto save would cause an issue on playback as I've noted above.
I'm not a computer whiz by any stretch of the imagination but I can follow directions if given for testing/eval.

Do the PPBM5 Benchmark and send the results to me by PM, in addition to sending the results to Bill as indicated. I'll have a look at what might be going on here.

I just upgraded to CS5 from Dreamweaver 8 - where are my sites?

I just upgraded to CS5 from Dreamweaver 8. I am running Mac OS 10.5.8. I was expecting that when I launched CS5 for the first time it would find whatever files it need from my Dreamweaver 8 and my sites would be available in CS5. However, I don't see any of my sites that I manage regularly in Dreamweaver 8. How do I import them in?
Thanks.

Beacuse of the upgrade to Mac OS X 10.7.3 my Dreamweaver 8 (unexpectedly) stopped working altogether so I had to upgrade to CS5.5
(which, functionally, I didn't even want to do (yet)).
Although it was an upgrade, it didn't take my site settings from v8.
How can I get them now, as Dreamweaver 8 stopped working!?
Please advice as there are settings in there that clients have entered themselves and are not tracked anywhere else.
Ansd is there a way to get CS5.5 to actually work with our html5 / css3 sites as it shows them all garbled?
I hoped this would at least solve this issue, but it sure hasn't :-(
Kind regards
Hein

Looking to upgrade to CS5 from CS3

HI everyone! I'm looking to upgrade to CS5 from CS3 Master Collection. Is there an easy way of doing this? I have zero interest in anything cloud related or CS6. thanks so much in advance!

As said by Brett already, you can no longer get CS5 or below from Adobe.
If by any chance, you make your mind to get CS6, Here is where you can get it. Creative Suite 6

Upgrading to PP CS5 from CS4 Master Collection

Hi there,
I am currently running Premiere Pro CS4, as part of the CS4 Master Collection package.
I need to upgrade my copy of Premiere to CS5 but can't afford to upgrade the rest of the bundled software.
Is it possible to upgrade to Premiere Pro CS5 from a copy of CS4 within the CS4 Master Collection, or am I only entitled to upgrade to the entire Master Collection CS5?
Thanks!

I upgraded from the CS 4.0 Master Collection to the CS 5.5 Master Collection myself. If you use the other products in the Master Collection you should upgrade the whole thing. Photoshop, AE and DreamWeaver have had some nice new features added since version 4. Keep in mind Audition is now included with the Master Collection.

How do I transfer all styles,commands,patterns and so on to cs5 from cs4 after upgrading?

Hello Everybody!
I just upgraded from CS4 to CS5. I see, the cs4 is still available in the computer. This is good, but I would like to know the easiest way to transfer all the Brushes, Commands, Styles, and even gradients I have spent all the years getting from the internet and creating to the CS5. Is copying and pasting the Presets the only way? I thought the upgrade would automatically transfer these things, but not even extensions that are suppose to appear in the commands area or insert toolbars are showing up. If I knew upgrading would be too much hassle, I would have stayed with my CS4 as I am in the middle of a big project and thought upgrading would cost me 2 hours at the most.

Upgrading to CS6 from CS4

I own CS4 and ordered the CS6 upgrade. I have tried to install it but it is asking for the serial numbers for a CS5 product. What do I do?

Contact Adobe Support they will fix this is for you ,I think you have bought the upgrade from CS5 to CS6 by mistake not from CS4 to CS6 , which is causing
this issue , no need to worry Adobe Support will take care of it.

Photoshop CS4 performance issue

HI
we use App-V for almost all of our applications and we work with a local cache mode
as far as I know - the performance of a local application and the virtual application should be the same even if the package is big. a great example is Office 2010 App-V package which works the same as a local installation
We saw that there are some applications that run very slow comparing to a local installation on the same hardware
specifically - Adobe PhotoShop CS4 is a good example. when we load a 10MB picture and try to make a simple task like mark a selection - it takes forever for the application to response!
the weirdest think is that we tried to sequence the application both in App-V 4.6 SP3 and App-V 5.0 SP2 we got the same results. we tried the default things as reset the client's cache or allowing local interaction, com objects... etc.
I really have no idea what else we can do. as I wrote, larger applications work in our environment just fine, but there are some that stuck us. another application that works slower is NIS. I'm not sure if the performance issue is always from
the same reason but I'm trying to figure out what can we do to improve it
would love to get some ideas

Hello,
Since Microsoft made this claim (as stated by you), my recommendation to improve your situation still stands;
Open a ticket with Microsoft to understand the topic. My assumption would be that you could name the engineer who visited you a few years ago, and revisit the discussion you had with him and Microsoft directly.
(the statement of course goes against any independt benchmarking - such as
Project VRC,
acknowledged facts by the Community and more..)
As stated already; If you have tested all that you described, I can't offer anymore suggestions apart from the above.

[CS4] Updating Only AE to CS5 from CS4

Hoping to get some experienced guidance about the value of update to AE CS5 from the Production Premium of CS4.
Would there be snafus involved when say premier from CS4 interacts with AE updated to CS5.
Would there be any serious advantages to making that kind of upgrade?
So far as an eventual upgrade overall to CS5 goes, would having upgraded AE turn out to be an extra expenditure... That is, would I end up paying for it twice to speak?

I've made the change from Production Premium CS4 to adding AE 10 only. Since I have absolutely NO problems, I'm confident in recommending the following:
If you have any other updates to make, save them, and un-register (not the proper term) your copy of CS4 Production Premium. You'll find how to do it in Photoshop's Help menu.
Install any newer media applications: quicktime comes to mind.
Reinstall CS4 production Premium.
Run any and ALL updates for CS4 Production premium, in all applications, if necessary.
Install After Effects CS5, and run the update application under the Help menu.
I've been running both for three weeks, with absolutely NO complaints. Yes, it does take time... but which would you rather have in the long run: a fast install and problems, or a painstaking install and NO problems?

Upgrade version acrobat from cs4 design premium

Please, we have the product cs4 Design Premium and need upgrade to last version Adobe Acrobat XI, it is possible?

Thanks, but we only need upgrade the last version Acrobat, it is possible?
Not from Design Premium CS4, no.
As Mylenium says, you can only upgrade a suite to another suite. You cannot upgrade the individual components of a suite (in your case just Acrobat).
Your options:
Upgrade your Design Premium CS4 to any CS6 Suite before 31 Dec 2012.
After that you will lose all upgrade options due to Adobe's new "one version back" upgrade policy which takes full effect from 1 Jan 2013.

Epson r1900 Prints too dark after upgrading to cs5 from cs3

Ok this one has got me stumped. While still in photoshop CS3 my epson r1900 was printing photo's just fine. After upgrading cs3 to Photoshop cs5 it now prints everything too blue. Nothing else has changed. My monitor is still calibrated, my printer paper profiles are still the same, the only change was upgrading to cs5. To me it looks all the world like ICM is being applied twice (in photoshop and the printer) but in photoshop I have selected "photoshop manages colors" just like I did in cs3, and in the print dialog box for the printer, I have selected no ICM again just like I did in CS3. But now the prints come out with a, to my eye, dark blue tint. Very very frusterating. I have deleted the color prefs file and let that recreate, but that did not help either. I am out of tricks. Any suggestions?
Thanks
Patrick

There were a lot of reports of "double profiling" with Epson printers when Photoshop CS5 was first released. I believe many people were seeing magenta-looking prints at that time.
Unfortunately, I don't think there was ever a resolution or even a good workaround... I recall at least one person bought a new printer to be able to continue to work.
Of course, double check to see whether Epson has released any updated printer drivers.
As I don't have an Epson myself, I can only suggest that you'll want to experiment with your settings to see if you can find a way to disable color management in the printer driver, so that only Photoshop does it - or disable color-management in Photoshop so that only the printer driver will do it.

Recent ML upgrade leads to widespread video performance issues.

Hello,
I recently took the leap to Mountain Lion and I'm starting to regret my decision. I have noticed a real drop off in video performance across the entire system.
Firstly, I came across a well documented issue with Final Cut Pro 7 video playback in the canvas. Playback is almost unusable due to introduced artifacts and tearing. However the video performance issues seem more wide spread than "unsupported software". I notice extremely rough image switching when I switch between workspaces, particularly on the second monitor. Also, when the screen saver kicks in and it swaps images, the same very klunky image swap is noticed on the second monitor. Also when the Reading List display is toggled in Safari, the remaining window slide left or right is not smooth at all, irrespective of what monitor it is on. There are other Safari rendering issues too, involving flickers, and other general video issues.
My machine is a mid-2010 Mac Pro, 6 core, 3.3GHz with 24GB of RAM and a 5870 graphics card. None of these issues were present in Lion.
I was wondering whether anyone else had noticed similar issues and if so, what if anything can be done about it.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Scott

This problem is not restricted to Leopard, 10.4.10 with QuickTime 7.3 is affected too. 10.4.11 doesn't show any improvements either. Yes, we need a fix for this... but one that solves this problem on Tiger as well, please.

Install Upgrade CS5 from CS4

Möchte von CS4 auf CS5 upgraden. CS5 -Seriennr habe ich bereits registriert.
Nun hänge ich bei der Installation mit der Meldung "Sie müssen Adobe Bridge schließen,
um fortzufahren." Habe jedoch die Bridge garnicht am Laufen.
Kann ich nicht einfach das gesamte Software-Paket CS4 VOR der Installation von CS5 aus dem System
entfernen? --Sind dabei besondere Dinge bezügl. der Serien-Nr. von CS4 zu beachten ?
Mir scheint bald, dass man für die ganze Angelegenheit ein Informatikstudium erfolgreich abgelegt haben muß.
Oder was ist zu tun. Habe übrigens CS5 in Form einer CD von einem Software-Händler
gekauft und kein Download von Adobe.
Guten Abend
Wolfgang

Hi,
Does the message say "Include Adobe Bridge" or "Close Adobe Bridge"?
(Erscheint die Meldung sagen "Include Adobe Bridge" oder "CloseAdobe Bridge"?)
Which CS5 product upgrade are you trying to install and are you using a Windows or a Macintosh computer?
(Welche CS5 Produkt-Upgrade versuchst du zu installieren undverwenden Sie eine Windows-oder Macintosh-Computer?)
Used a Language translator. My apologies if the German translation is not entirely correct.

CS4 performance issues

XP, 4GB RAM with 3BG switch, nVidia 9600GT 512 vRAM.
CS4 keeps sucking up RAM (sometimes to 2GB), shows bad lag time, the OpenGL crashes, and my workflow comes to a stand still.
I just put that video card in as an upgrade from a 7300 LE, as the 9600GT was on the list of Adobe tested cards.
What's going on here?
Edit: also running LR 2.2.

Harold - Adobe tested with the latest drivers at the time we were testing. We found bugs in the drivers, and the GPU makers promised to fix those bugs. Some were fixed before we shipped, but not all. But they are still working on some of them (and finding more) because different configuration issues were missed (multiple monitors, CPU and firmware dependencies, external utilities interferring, etc.) in their fixes or their testing. Even Adobe couldn't test all the factors involved because Adobe has no visibility into the drivers to know what factors MIGHT be involved. Adobe tried to get as broad a coverage as possible, but, well, we couldn't cover it all.
People are advised to update their drivers because many still have not done that, and because the drivers are still being updated to fix many of the bugs reported here.
People are advised to contact the video card makers because some of the bugs are still not fixed, and only the authors of the driver software know what details might be important (or missing) to figure out the cause and fix the bugs in the driver software. Adobe could report the problem to the GPU makers -- but we can't even reproduce some of these problems because we don't know all the factors involved (and thus we'd never be able to help isolate the problem, or tell if it was fixed). It is far more useful for the device driver authors to contact the customer directly and find out the exact configuration causing the problem.
