Why does Photoshop make my MacPro run extremely slow

MazzaLou Dec 23, 2012 5:53 PM

I use actions for my photograpy images. I use CS6 PS and LR3 side by side and it continously freeze my brand new mac and also did the same to my old PC.

A computer annaylist friend said it may be the way i use PS - I cant see that to be honest as all I do is open the raw image - run an action and then save it back to LR. But then saying that after speaking with other photog friends - they tell me they dont have a problem when they do the same.

HAs anyone got nay ideas because Im about to loose it with it all. My Mac freezes so much its a joke.

Many Thanks

Louise

Hi Louise, Because the forum you originally posted in is for beginners trying to learn the basics of Photoshop, I moved your question to the Photoshop General Discussion forum, where you'll get more specialized help.

To help others help you, please reply and provide some additional details: Which operating system and software version are you using?

What does the action contain? What's the size of your images? Certain operations may simply gobble up all memory....
