          Well, that is what I will probably do. Anyways, just checking if there's a list of fixes available anywhere

            To come back on earlier complaints,

             

            Now it works more or less fine...  (except the seldom freez and crash i report via the report app)

             

            what have i changed to the computer since the last complaints ? ... => Nothing...
            What have i changed to the Photoshop install since the last coplaints ? ... => updated bridge when update was available..

             

             

            greets

              I am still reading the comments to this thread and I wanted to let people know that the last update has seemed to work. I do not see PS taking up all of my memory and causeing issues like before.

               

              Thanks to everyone here who no doubt helped spread the word and get Adobe to fix the issues. Hard to say wether the thread had an impact or not, but I can hope that it did.

               

              VERY glad they seem to be fixed. If you are having issues, make sure you have the latest updates.

                Just a note for others.

                 

                Photoshop CS6 is slow with most of cracked versions (maybe beta versions...). So in this case, please prefer use legally trial version (and buy if you love it after 30 days). And there is no bug with this.

                  What the in ... 's name is that as a remark ?..?


                  We're not talking about cracked versions, and by the way who cares about people who crack them, Because we bought PS? we come to this forum...

                    ...although... I have also commented about this "suspicion" in a couple of posts in this and the Illustrator Forum. Not necessarily regarding this particular problem though.

                     

                    I've recently upgraded close to 40 Macs to Mountain Lion,and to  CS6, using time-honored albeit time-consuming best practices:

                     

                    1) repairing permissions FIRST, then doing a Time machine backup;

                    2) install Mountain Lion from a burned DVD or better, a USB drive, on a freshly erased/properly formatted drive;

                    3) repair permissions again, then do all the OS updates if any;

                    4) repair permissions... yes again... and then migrate from the Time Machine Backup all of your previous software and settings;

                    5) repair permissions... once again... and only then install the CS6 suite in it's entirety....

                    6)... last but not least... you guessed it... repair permissions (especially since Illustrator requires a Java 6 runtime, where almost always permissions are wrong).

                     

                    Restart... and voila! Everything works perfectly. Every single time. Takes longer... but as far as I'm concerned, well worth the extra time in the beginning rather than try to troubleshoot problems down the road.

                      Has anyone had to click the mouse cursor twice in order to use any tool in the toolbar?

                       

                      I have to click the artboard twice to use the text too, the paint bucket, the pen tool, ect ...

                        Hello Chris,

                         

                        I don't know if this helps the debugging process but I too was having performance issues with CS6.  However when I turned off the GPU processing, performance did go back to what I expect in a clean install of photoshop with only a few exceptions.  One thing I did notice still had issues however was the Text/Paragraph styles.   What I noticed was that some attributes such as font and style name I could define relatively quickly but other drop down menues seemed to flicker similarly to when you click a submit button 20 times because you're frustrated (The point size and leading were the two culprits that did this the most).  There was no mouse button mashing of course as I only selected the point size once but it looked like the program was repeatedly sending that point size request to the software over and over like it was temporarily stuck in a logic loop of some kind.   I had to click on another drop down menue to get it to stop flickering.  Photoshop seemed to choke up a bit when I was selecting the color as well.

                         

                        While I know that every computer user and computer setup is different, this is the first time I've run accross and error like this and up to this point I've never had a problem when selecting text styles in Indesign both in CS6 as well as previous versions.  

                         

                        Anyway I hope that observation helps you guys in your quest to make CS6 as good as it can be.

                          I just downloaded CS6 trial on my work iMac 2012 and MacBookPro 2011 model both have 12 gig ram, powerful graphics cards and are updated video drivers.

                          Laptop has Snow and iMac is Lion. Both cant load our huge 150 mb psd design files. CS4 and CS5 loads just fine.

                          NO settings changed. Fresh out of the box iMac and brand new install of CS6.

                          Sorry but CS6 is slow. There needs to be an update for sure.

                            It is not slow for most users.  But some people have problems on their system that cause slowdowns (drivers, corrupt fonts, third party plugins, etc.).

                             

                            But do make sure you've installed all the updates for Photoshop CS6.

                              You may feel your conclusion is founded based on seeing a similar issue on two systems, but rest assured it's not "slow" in the general sense.  In fact, I found it faster (by a small margin in general) than Photoshop CS5 on my PC.  I did objective tests.  Clearly you're not alone in finding Photoshop unacceptably sluggish on a Mac system, but you should try to imagine that it's not an issue for everyone even there.

                               

                              Chris is not just toeing the company line; you really should work to try to find what it is on your systems that's getting in the way of Photoshop performance.  Install the latest update, for one.  For another, try the various GPU configuration settings (making sure to restart Photoshop after making changes).

                               

                              Perhaps it would be helpful if you'd describe the performance you're experiencing in objective terms.  As in, "it takes sssss seconds to do dddddddd with an image that's xxx by yyy pixels in bbb bits/channel, with a brush size of zzzz", etc.

                                Noel, I installed the latest updates.

                                Here is the thing.

                                I work with huge PSD files our designers provide us with for UI development.

                                While waiting for my company to install photoshop.

                                I was using my personal copy of CS4 and on another machine CS5. Full purchased copies.

                                Fresh install of CS6 Trial on my crazy multi core machines at work. Open the same files and then waiting for 3 minutes vs 20 - 30 seconds it takes to open these files.

                                 

                                I figured first time opening a huge file it needs to index what is what.

                                After file opened and all is well I tried to zoom into the header of the design. Machine stopped responding for 2 minutes.

                                 

                                Drivers are updated on my iMac i7 12 gig ram with AMD Radeon HD 6970M 1024 MB

                                Now I am wondering if indeed my machine is not optimized. So to do a true test. I find my install disk and bring it to work for CS5.

                                Loaded like a champ. CS5 was not updated after the install.

                                 

                                So as a user experience. Out of the box sorta speak. CS6 Trial was indeed slow.

                                  Describe in detail what's a huge PSD file in your world.  Gigabytes on disk, pixel counts, bit depths, how many layers, what kinds of layers, etc.

                                   

                                  Did you update your CS6 to the current patch level?  There have been a number of bugs fixed, including some of those described in this thread, which goes way back.

                                    Well file size is not in question or any of its dimensions.

                                    I just had CS5 installed and am now working at a blazing fast speed.

                                    My goal was not to trash talk CS6 in anyway. I am sure it is cutting edge.

                                    It was just to make a point of A & B compare with a similar task.

                                    The expectation when moving to new software version is it will be

                                    1) more intuitive

                                    2) faster to operate

                                     

                                    But thank you for taking time to respond.

                                     

                                    p.s. Yes everything was updated.

                                      But as I asked before:  Did update your CS6 to the current patch level? There have been a number of bugs fixed, including some of those described in this thread, which goes way back.

                                       

                                      I'm making the assumption you'd like Photoshop CS6 to work as well as CS5, as it does for most.

                                        I'm also having problems with PhotoShop CS6 Extended 64bit (13.0.1) being very slow in opening, saving, drop downs and buttons taking seconds to actually react.

                                         

                                        Example: From "Save for Web" window clicking on "JPEG" drop down to select "PNG" takes several seconds before actually initiating.

                                         

                                        I primarily work with web development files.

                                        I.E. Relatively small files with lots of layers typically under 100MB.

                                         

                                        I've tried the suggestions in the forum.

                                        1. Disabling Graphics Acceleration.
                                        2. Turning off Layer Thumbnails.
                                        3. I don't use any thirs party plug-ins.
                                        4. Even went so far as to boot in safe mode to eleminate any background services as the cause.
                                        5. Ran the FontTest.jsx per the troubleshooting guide and all fonts check as clean.
                                        6. Created a full admin account and the problem persists running as admin.

                                         

                                        At this point I'm out of ideas as to what is causing PhotoShop CS6 64bit to be so slow as it is the only application having this issue.

                                          "...Photoshop CS6 to work as well as CS5, as it does for most."

                                           

                                          I don't find that the case at all. Do you have a clue how many people (% that own PS) even bother to come to these forums? I haven't EVER until CS6, when I was wondering WTF w/the way it was [not] responding. Most of these threads are about PROBLEMS w/it, with exception of a small few, and people w/Adobe trying to defend it. I have the very latest patch installed (and I've been using PS since the first beta was sent to me in the 80's) and I've NEVER had this much trouble out of any of them until now. CS3-5 will run circles around 6. And w/5, at least there is the option of booting it in 32bit so older plug-ins run w/no problems.

                                           

                                          I'd like to see a version of 6 or at least in the next version (7?) of PS WITHOUT the damn 3D and Video crap in it, just streamlined like it used to be. You have plenty of apps to do vid and 3D on your own platforms and others. I wish Adobe would give up on the "ALL IN ONE" try and go back to what PS is/was known for!

                                           

                                          my 2¢ - and YES, my CS6 is plagued w/problems as far as speed and font/type issues (on mac OS 10.6.8) multipul machines.

                                              Yea I find that most of the responses are defending PS6.

                                               

                                              Seems like they are listening but now at the point where nothing can be done.

                                              Sorry but CS6 trial is enough evidence including this thread alone that I will not be moving away from previous versions.

                                                As a regular contributor here, I believe I have a pretty good clue how well Photoshop is running for most folks.

                                                 

                                                Yes, the forum is rife with problems, but that's the nature of forums.

                                                 

                                                I know a lot of the regular contributors here, and they report that Photoshop CS6 is running well enough for them.

                                                 

                                                It seems like the whole world must be experiencing the problems you are, but rest assured they're not.  It may have something to do with the system model you have, and/or the particular OS version you're running, and/or the fonts/plug-ins/haxxies/etc. you have installed - or who knows what.   Statements like "CS3-5 will run circles around 6" are overly simplistic, and are true only when appended with "on my computer".

                                                 

                                                Note which version of Photoshop tops this benchmark chart:  http://ksimonian.com/Blog/2012/11/24/pc-now-sits-atop-time-charts-for-free-radial-blur-pho toshop-benchmark-test/

                                                 

                                                Note that there are plenty of Photoshop CS6 entries amongst the top finishers on the first page of this benchmark chart:  http://www.hardwareheaven.com/photoshop_results.php?page=results

                                                 

                                                Perpetual License holders running PCs haven't had to have but one update:  13.0.1.  Macs are up to 13.0.4.  Perhaps OSX is a system on which it's a bit more difficult for a developer to get things to work just right.

                                                  Hello CRCJJ,

                                                   

                                                   

                                                  I'm a PC user and I had quite a few problems with my initial installation of CS6 as well.  Character and Paragraph styles being the worst culprit.  And at that point I had a geforce 9800 with 1gig of ram 16 gigs of motherboard ram running on a core i7 920.   CS6 was horribly slow.

                                                   

                                                  When I did my own testing I found that CS6 was MUCH more memory intensive both in HD memory and RAM as well as being more reliant on your graphics card.   When testing out the paragraph styles I noticed that the menues often flickered for 5-30 seconds before actually allowing me to select anything.  This tells me that photoshop was making multiple calls to your memory or other computer resources.  It seems as though its checking or indexing every instance of text in your document when it does this.  The larger the file the more the lag.  These new features also use a sligthly different text engine than the main font tool.   To me that seems to point to inefficiency in the system that could have been programmed in such away as to not waste resources and make so many memory calls.

                                                   

                                                  Unfortunately I was not able to downgrade back to CS3 (which ran faster for me that CS6) So I had to find a solution that would work.  I ended up upgrading my Video card to an overclocked GTX 560ti, added another 16 gigs of ram and  reformatted my system drive and with each upgrade my CS6 got a bit faster.  Now it runs normally for me now that I have all of the high powered gear in my system and I imagine will run even faster once I upgrade to a SSD drive. 

                                                   

                                                   

                                                  That being said I feel that users shouldn't have to jump through these hoops to get their software to run smoothly.  People can defend CS6 all they like but there is definitely inefficent code in this new release that needs to be addressed.  I think once those inefficienies are remedied, CS6 will be a big win for everyone.  The good part about the cloud is that you'll automatically be updated once the kinks have been worked out.

                                                    Photoshop is not a low-end program - it assumes you'll have good hardware on which to run it.

                                                     

                                                    Should state of the art graphics software rely on the computer hardware equally or less than its predecessors?  Or should it take advantage of new technology, for example in GPU development to bring us features we couldn't have had before?   Have you noticed the change in Liquify, for example?

                                                     

                                                    You're spending hundreds of dollars for new software and yet seem to want it to do only what its predecessor did.  Maybe the decision to upgrade to CS6 wasn't right for you.

                                                     

                                                    Rapid change in computing technology is a given.  We have no choice but to embrace it.

                                                      By the way, I agree that Paragraph Styles has horrible inefficiencies.  It's (barely) acceptably fast on a monster computer, but you can still feel the lag.  But that one feature does not the entire application make.

                                                       

                                                      I hope Adobe will make improvements to Paragraph Styles in future updates.

                                                        Well essentially that's what I did.  I mean I'm not arguing with you on the performance once you add the extra hardware.  My tools are all very fast with my new upgrades.  But not everyone can spend the $450 and the extra time that I did in order to upgrade to the latest software.  CS6 just happened to come out at a time when I was contemplating upgrading my system anyway. 

                                                         

                                                        That being said I think that New software should at least run well on a computer thats 2 - 3 years old, which is what my original specs were.   I mean as a web developer & designer my websites all have to degrade gracefully back to IE7 and also be viewable on mobile devices.  Why isn't Adobe held to the same standard?

                                                         

                                                         

                                                        Also just another upgrade tip.  For those of you out there who are having issues and want to stick with CS6 the 2 things I recommend most to help boost performance is to 1) get an SSD system drive with plenty of scratch disk space and 2) do a fresh install of your OS and CS6 onto your new drive.   Those 2 things dramatically increased the performance of CS6 on my laptop so I highly recommend everyone try that as a first option as my video card on my laptop is pretty whimpy.  (Also on my laptop I turned GPU acceleration off in the preferences which helps significantly)

                                                          Well, to be fair the GeForce 9800 is. 5 year old design.  And I suspect the fault in your case wasn't entirely Adobe's.  NVidia isn't well-known for creating good new driver releases for older video cards.  Your hardware may well have been more capable than it seemed, but the drivers just weren't up to the task.  Remember that th 9800 was designed in the time of Vista.

                                                           

                                                          Also, I suspect you're editing larger images than you were when you first outfitted your system.  Most folks are.

                                                            I was one of the first people to get upset about the performance of CS6. It was horrible! There was some kind of memory "leak" or something that was causing it to turn "grandma behind the wheel of a old car".

                                                             

                                                            After the most recent updates and using a disk utility to delete cache, unchecked fonts, and hours of troube shooting, CS6 is running fine. Like others, it ran like crap until I did lots of work to fix it.

                                                             

                                                            I just wanted to throw my experience into this again to give some hope to people. I have a 5 year old macbook pro with 3.06 core 3 duo and 6gb ram. It is running like it does on my new macbook at home. So it is possible to get it to run correctly on older Mac machines that are power houses. I wish I could tell you how to get it to do that, but I cannot pin- point what exactly "fixed" it, because i did so much.

                                                             

                                                            Good luck and hopefully people who are having issues can get it to work like I did.

                                                              I have been reading through a lot of these posts and can say the current Photoshop CS6 is running fairly smooth on a hi-end system. However, there are still some features like the Smudge Tool experiencing poor performance issues, especially when working with large scale images. Also, when activated, Extensis Font Manager plugin slows the menus system in Photoshop down so much that I’m not going to use it until this is resolved. Keep in mind, I haven’t fully tested all of Photoshop’s features on this build yet but I will update here if I find any other mentionable anomalies.

                                                                      STAFF has proven there is a lot that we aren't getting to see being said here. and a lot of it is relevant. They need to get over the butt-hurt and deal with it.

                                                                      Yes, forums are well known for getting out of hand very quickly... but when they are called out on bashing another system because it's not their preferred choice, it's sad that they just delete it.

                                                                       

                                                                      I have better things to do than play in a sand box belonging to someone else... I need to go back to my reality and let them play in the fantasy they live in, where everyone can have the ultimate, nothing better released in last 24hrs, custom built machine to run CS6 ALMOST as fast as it should run out of the box... not everyone can afford that, and most are barely able to afford CS6 cloud on student I.D.s, much less afford hardware upgrades. I spend 10's of thousands of hard-earned company dollar's keeping my designers and video people up to latest releases and normally lease machines for 24 mos so new ones can come in as tech advances... that being said, it's all gone very well... UNTIL CS6... luck would have it all the company software was on disk until 6 and the cloud came along. It will cost me quite a bit to go back to CS3-5 (in reinstalling time man hrs.) and it chaps my a** that it SHOULD EVEN BE NECESSARY! I should be singing the praises of PS as I've done since the 80's, but now I've been let down because of corporate greed to rush something out not tested well enough.

If we could start with indetification. It would prevent the same issues coming up again and again.

                                                                         

                                                                        With everything i did to fix photoshop, (meaning get to actually work without sucking) I have no idea which one thing it couldve been, because I did so much for so long before finally the last update fixed it. My system was as clean as it could possible be before the last update and it ran like crap. the last update fixed all of my issues.

These are only those people who are willing to participate in discussion, how many others have just read it? How many searched it? The problem exists, and it will really be a frustration if the fixes come out in cs7 instead of a patch. It's bad, bad, bad - not to have any serious competition on the market :-)

Illustrator shipped in the late 1980's (Illustrator '88 I think).

If it ain't working for YOU, outlining what's NOT working for you and detailing what steps you've done troubleshooting would be useful.

The original prog our news photogs were using was called "Display" sent by AP for photographs sent over the sat drive, and there wasn't a version # on it that I recall. The first version released under the PS name was 0.07 (01/88) and it wasn't a public release, as you prob know. The "barneyscan" version wasn't what we were sent, and that didn't release until 89 (vers .87)
