Very slow Lightroom 4.4 to Photoshop CS6 in Windows 8

I have a problem with my Windows 8 computer. Please notice that on this computer I did not change any of the default settings in the operating system, it is a clean install of Windows 8. I have also installed the latest version of Photoshop and Lightroom directly from my Adobe Application Manager software (I am a Creative Cloud member).
What happens is that I have to wait 30-50 seconds after I give, in Lightroom, the command "Modify in -> Photoshop CS6" (I have the software in Italian and I hope that this translation is correct. Here is the command that I am using:
The very strange thing that happens is that Photoshop opens fast (5 seconds, I have an SSD) and Lightroom is very fast too.
Here is the strange thing. Photoshop opens after I launch the command.
Then nothing seems to happen for 30-50 seconds (sometimes also more time). After this “long” period of time this error appears in Lightroom:
It says: "you can't modify this file because Photoshop CS6 can't be started". However, this is not true! Photoshop is running correctly, and it was running! This happens if Photoshop was started from Lightroom and if Photoshop was running before Lightroom command "Modify in -> Photoshop CS".
Another strange thing is that, after I press "OK" to this error message, the file immediately opens in Photoshop!
Please notice that this behavior happens also with a series of file. If, for example, I export 10 files from Lighroom, then, after about one minute, I get 10 error messages in Lightroom, and, when I press OK, the files will open in Photoshop (for each "OK" that I press a file opens, so I have to press 10 times OK to open my 10 files!).
This very strange behavior is eating my time and I am very disappointed! It is very difficult to get in touch with Adobe support and I decided to use this forum to get some help. After you pay monthly for the Cloud software you wish that a good support came included with what you pay, but it seems that this is not true!
Please help me if you can!

Vittorio,
1. At this point my suggestion would be first to check are you the Admin of your system or not.
2. Try uninstall and Photoshop first and make sure you select the option Remove Preferences when you doing an uninstall.
3. After that try a fresh install of Photoshop.
4. If that doesnt help try uninstall and reinstall or LR & PS too by same way.

  • Posterization in Lightroom 4.4 and Photoshop CS6

    I'm struggling with posterization in Lightroom 4.4 and Photoshop CS6.  I'm shooting RAW on a Nikon D800.  Unedited bright sunset photos show nasty posterization.  Screenshot is included, unedited.  Any suggestions on what to do about this?

    EmilyM wrote:
    2.twenty_one, here's a screen shot of the highlight clipping.  Pulling the exposure way way down gets rid of the posterizing in the clouds and mist, but remains on the blown out highlights.  Do you think if an image were exposed without highlight clipping, we would not see posterizing in any of the rest of the image?
    It would be difficult to take this picture without blowing out the brightest areas. The Highlights slider is what you want to use to recover the blown posterized areas. Feel free to set it to -100 if necessary. You may also need to reduce the Whites slider, which sets the Highlight clipping point. Looking at the LR default settings Histogram the Black level is very high, which may be due to lens flare. Either way using a lower in-camera exposure setting would help to retain highlight detail.

    Cured the problem! Reinstalled an earlier version of itunes from oldapps.com (version 10) now everything works as it should. I would suggest that if you are experiencing these problems that you do the same. I must say that it is a brave business decision on behalf of apple to effectively lock out all windows 7 users from their products and sales channels and I can only wish them luck in this very shortsighted policy.

    You need to run a platform swap:

    Until it's through, you can use the trial version.

  • Bug? Can't Drag and Hold Mouse Photoshop CS6 on Windows 8 RP

    I am having a few problems with the current Photoshop CS6 on Windows 8RP.
    At first it was only the tilit shift and iris but it turns out it's everything to do with when you need to hold the mouse button and drag. It seems that the problem is isolated to Photoshop as other Adobe programmes are working fine plus other programmes and Windows generally is also fine.
    I am using an Nvidia GTX580 with Windows 7 drivers until the proper version comes which is late of course!
    Plus, I uninstalled my Intellipoint and keyboard drivers too and connected a generic mouse via USB and I still get the same problem.
    Weirdly though, every (let's say) 20 times I try to drag and hold after constantly restarting Photoshop it works once then I have to try again a load of times by restarting the application.
    Any ideas?
    Joe

    I'm running photoshop cs6 on windows 8 RP 64 bits and haven't seen that problem
    and i didn't see that on the consumer preview either.
    This is the driver i'm using:
    http://www.nvidia.com/object/win8-64bit-296.17-preview-driver.html
    Just watch that windows update doesn't try to sneak in there own driver.
    It happened to me twice until i changed the automatic updates to notify
    and also watch that doesn't happen with your monitor profile as well.
    The updated Nvidia drivers for rp are supposed to be released sometime this coming week.
    Do you have any third party plugins or do you have the scriptlistener installed?
    Did you try resetting the photoshop preferences or difference modes under the Advanced setting for the the graphics processor under preferences>preformance in photoshop?

  • Is my boxed Photoshop CS6 for Windows good for Mac as well?

    I have boxed version of Photoshop CS6 for Windows. I am switching from PC to Mac. How can I install Photoshop on Mac? Do I need to buy a Mac version? Thanks.

    No.  You have to call up and do a platform swap:

    Hi robfromkinglake west,
    Try and isolate the issue.  Check if it's only with this drive.

  • Just purchased photoshop cs6 for windows and received installation disk.

    Just purchased photoshop cs6 for windows and received installation disk.  Where do you find the serial number on the disk?  What should the serial number start with?  The disk was in the original box and I see a number that start with 910.....
    The box was in a brown envelope and there is barcode sticker on the back with more numbers.  Where should I look for the actual serial number.
