P: Performance problems iMac Retina 5k

I've been using the new imac retina, and i have enormous problems with the performance of Photoshop. If i for example use the selective color correction, this does not run smoothly. Other functions also work delayed. I noticed if i do not use Photoshop in full screen mode, everything goes back to normal. A friend used the predecessor model imac without 5k resolution, but has no problems. I suspect Photoshop has problems with the resolution of 5k. I hope Adobe fix this problems because Photoshop works slow and delayed, the performance is terrible. I bought the retina iMac 5k, since my previous mac is getting old and slow. But now is it so, that my new retina iMac, run equal slowly as my old iMac. Adobe please fix this problems, so i cannot work.

    I had trouble with Imac 5K with Photoshop CC too. PS CC 2014 kept crashed out on each filter may be related to VGA AMD Radeon (OSX 10.10.3 does not help).

    I had tried installed MAC OSX 10.11 El Caption Beta.
    Glad it sold the problem. PS CC 2014 work well.
    Anyone stucked in MAC OSX Yosemite may have a try with OSX 10.11 Beta El Captain.

    PS: Now NTFS For MAC 12 worked well with OSX 10.10.3 Yosemite not stucked with OSX 10.11 El Captain Beta. I hope Paragon would support new OSX soon.

    No, it takes a lot of time to debug and test the OS issues in order to say that. Oh, and we actually did spend that time to track down Apple's OS bugs.

    Really?
    Is it really Apple issue? It's easy to say like that. I run a lot of Apple apps including pro apps and no performance issues at all. (iMac 5K, 4GHz i7 8GB Ram, 256SSD, Radeon 295X 4GB)

    No, Apple has not yet released fixes for the MacOS 10.10 and Retina 5K performance issues. Apple is aware of the issues and working on solutions.

    I am assuming there is still no answer to this? I upgraded pretty much specifically to get better response in Photoshop and it's way worse.

    No, we can't say more. We are still waiting for Apple to fix the list of bugs we have documented in MacOS 10.10.

    There have been updates to OS X 10 since that time frame and there has been no impact on the problem for me. Can you say more? This is getting very frustrating

    No updates that we can share. Any updates are going to come in Apple OS updates to the current MacOS version.
