    Photoshop CS2-

    For some reason, my Photoshop tends to crash when I'm smudging excessively.. I've tried slowing down a bit, but it still happens.

    Does this happen to anyone else? ;(

    What is your PC spec...

    CS2 is resource intensive if you have loaded too much fonts, brushes and other things that might affect performance

    What I do when using large image sizes in photoshop is close Firefox, try that.

    I have 512MB Ram.. Seems to be enough.. I don't have that many brushes loaded, either. I'll try closing Firefox, though.

    yes I have 2 comps one with 512 MB and one with 2 GIG

    the 512 one, I just reformated so there are no extras like font or what not to lag it. When I am working on large website templates it goes slow as hell. 2 GB Is the best can have camtasia, msn, firefox, and photoshop running smoothly all at the same time

    I have the weirdest CS2 problem. My displacement does absolutely nothing, no matter what the settings are. But the rest of PS works just fine. Anyone ever have that problem?
