Photoshop CC hangs on photomerge
L1ttl3J1m Oct 6, 2017 9:33 PMHi Everybody, I hope someone can shed some light on this...
So, I have a bunch of .RAW images I'm trying to make into a panorama. Photoshop is fine with up to 20 or so layers, but more than that it hangs.
Photoshop is taking about 45% of processor time and about 7 GB of RAM when the align starts. At this point, Photoshop is still responding. ie, I can grab the progress bar and move it around.
After about a minute or so, the CPU usage drops to 8 percent and Photoshop stops responding. The whole window stops responding, and it'll sit there forever, or at least 48 hours, which is the longest I've left it for.
I've followed the steps to disable the Adobe Spaces Helper and CEPHtmlEngine, increased and reduce memory usage, disabled the graphics processor and reset my preferences, disabled all the plugins, run Photoshop as Administrator and started Windows in safe mode and run Photoshop as Administrator in Windows safe mode
CPU: i7-5930k
RAM: 32GB DDR4 3400 MHz
GPU: 2 x nVidia 980Ti
OS: Windows 10 Professional
