I just got photoshop yesterday, after i installed the program it was running fast then today when i start it up it takes a while to do the simple task and add gradients and filters. So im wondering is there any way to fix this and i re installed and all and same problem keeps happening
How big is the canvas you are working on? How many tabs do you have open? Do you have lots of layers? That stuff really affects how fast your photoshop runs. When I have a 3000x1200 file with 50-100 layers it takes about 4 minutes to save.
When you have a lot of brushes and fonts installed it takes awhile for PS to load sometimes. Also you try playing around with the performance settings a bit? Edit>Preferences>Performance and you can change the history, cache, and memory usage. It can really boost your photoshop loading.
Its an alienware laptop Specs The Canvas size is 300x120 always and it lags when i try to fill it with black or white or use a filter or gradients i havent tried anything else cause it always freezes then closes and i have ps cs4 extended
It is not that. Are you using a printer per LAN or directly on your computer? When you are using one in LAN, change the favorite printer to another one. This is always buggy.
I have the same problem, i have a pretty new and fast pc, cant tell the specs right now....Im on my work but I know it shuld be good enuff to handle it, My pc can take everything, but indeed....Photoshop CS4 Lags bad with me too......CS3 works perfect...
Hmm... most likely a hardware problem, make sure you have enough RAM, a decent processor and all that usual stuff... If it's a laptop im putting my 5 cents on vga card in most cases people get computers/laptops with integrated graphics
