How much memory? How much hard drive space? OS? What kind of video card? All of these can slow things down. I have a PC, windows 7 64 bit Ultimate, 4+ gigs of ram and a dedicated hard drive (230 gb) for Photoshop scratch disk, Nvidia graphics card with 1 gig of dedicated memory. Just opened CS3, opened very fast, loaded a picture, large file, loaded fast, duped the picture, very fast. Make sure you have closed down all the programs that you can that are running. ctrl/del to bring up the task manager.
| When I used to use Paint Shop Pro, everything I did was very fast. Before I installed PS3 Extended, I did a good clean-up of my laptop, uninstalled several programs like PSP and its Animation Shop, and some other stuff that just needed to be really cleaned up. I have a background defragger that defrags as I work, so quite a bit of junk stays cleaned up anyway. With PS3Extended, everything is soooo slow! From start-up, to opening any image, to duplicating an image, to opening a new, empty, transparent window .... What is the deal? I'd tried using PS before but got frustrated trying to learn it because it was so slow then. So I had at that time uninstalled and gone back to PSP. My husband has always used Adobe PhotoShop, and was flabbergasted at how slow mine is ... And I have a big, graphics-oriented laptop. He then proceeded to tell me it was all the "junk" I have loaded on. Well, aside from Microsoft Office, Incredimail for mail, and some small programs used for work, the only thing on here are graphics themselves and utility programs like Kaspersky and the defragger. Anybody else experience very slow PS, and did you find a way to speed things up? It gets very time cosuming to wait 30+ seconds to do each and every little thing. Valarie | ||
