Question

Told to upgrade to Windows 10 to fix perf issues with Bridge and Photoshop cc

Photographers and artists... lend me your ear.

 

After reaching out to adobe support for performance issues with Bridge slow and Photoshop converting images to JPG slow, I was told the issue is clearly WINDOWS 7.  Best upgrade to Windows 10.

 

Now I feel like the support person was just ditching my ticket.... (sigh).

 

I am running AMD 8 core 4GHZ with 32GB RAM and SSD drives (different for C / D) as well as a 6GB $300 video card. 

 

And what do I get... SLUGGISH performance... Bridge is now seems even slower with the updated version.  And yes, I am watching the task manager... the system is NOT getting pegged when Bridge is sluggish. Futher Bridge seems to fail to apply changes across all the selected images in the current version... it will miss images in a collection of 100 selected for updates causing me to check images for changes applied across a set.

 

Yes, I did a fresh install of Windows 10 NOT an upgrade.

 

Come on Adobe, we don't need any new features until you can speed up the products.

 

Anyone know if Capture One is fast?  

 

What tools are fast? Should I be using lightroom???

 

I could add a new system board and 16 cores but I know that will not make this Turkey fly.

 

Thanks for your advice.

Try several things.

Go to windows advanced system settings.

Under advanced / settings

select visual effects

select adjust for best for performance

go to Advanced and select "virtual memory"

see what windows has set for paging file size. split the amount between C and D drives

Make sure best performance is set for programs as well.

See if your antivirus or other third-party software is conflicting.

I am using Microsoft AV and this system is mostly for Bridge / Photoshop meaning I don't run other applications while processing pictures.

 

I will look more carefully.
