P: CS6 Slow compared to CS5.1 with large files

Try these steps to fix most issues: http://bit.ly/Troubleshoot_PS

I agree with Chris that it could be a corrupt font/font cache.

I was just reading through comments to see if there was any updates on the slow nudging and had to agree on the flick panning. Good old product managers! 😄 Does anyone actually use it?

...because your video driver has a bug, and the driver gets reset when you reboot. Again, this was something we saw in older drivers, but it was fixed quite a while ago. Please try updating your video card driver (and follow the directions so you don't end up with bits of the old driver left around).

Just occured to me. Could a Wacom driver be involved with the odd issue I mentioned? Perhaps I need to experiment with that?

...and thank you for responding. 🙂

Why is it with both PS CS 3 and 6 Extended, the circle around the brush works for while and then just dissapears until I reboot? It can't be system specific. I'm using version 3 on a Vista machine at work with GeForce GPU and it happens there. I'm using 6 at home on a Windows 7 machine with a GeForce GPU. The GPU is the only thing the two have in common and even they are different generations of GeForce but use the same drivers

I see the relationship between Adobe and NVidia as equal. Both hold equal responsibility to make sure that as they do releases and updates they merge nicely. I only use official releases and never use beta drivers.

Where it troubles me is with the eraser and it happens almost everytime I'm working on a project. The circle around the target simply disappears and I can't tell the size without having to check it other ways than visually and I can no longer use the brackets to control size. Also how do I do precise erasing around edges if I can't see it. So I take the five minutes or so to reboot only to see it dissapear again before long.

I can't complain though unless I also applaud PS. As it evolved over the years all I can say is bravo and it's the most stable and reliable of any graphics or 3D software I use. Kudos to Adobe for that. Brilliant bit off software.

OK, then something else is probably wrong on your system -- because other people are seeing the layer slowdowns mentioned here, and not much else.

The other slowdowns we've seen have been due to corrupt fonts, bugs in antivirus software, bugs in third party plugins, bugs in video drivers (primarily on Windows), and one guy with a bad hard drive.

Yes I have and generally most things helped.....some.....but overall performance compared to CS5 is really disappointing. Thumbnails definitely still an issue even after 13.0.1.

I was also hoping with Creative Cloud that Adobe would be pushing out performance updates and tweaks a lot quicker. We've only had 1 minor update to PS since it was released in May! I though this cloud thing was to allow for faster updates?

Have you read the previous responses to see what you can do about that, and help narrow down the cause?
