Photoshop CS4 is a disaster

James - ok, you need to report that to your GPU maker so they can narrow down the cause of the problem in their drivers.

Just to report back briefly after some testing.

The problems only occur in 32bit while 64bit PS working wonderfully. This would be great except that 98% of all the plugins used are not 64bit compatible. Both the patch dot release and 182.02 driver release are installed.

sounds like the basis for

Terminator CS: The Rise of the Suits

ok. i had to reach for that one. sorry. :)

>The reality is that CS4 should not have shipped until now.... No not even now. Im back to CS2 until things stop crashing the program.

have you started your own thread on this?

800 and counting

The share holders and wall street could care less as long as it makes money.

I am sure there were people at Adobe saying that too!

The reality is that CS4 should not have shipped until now....
No not even now. Im back to CS2 until things stop crashing the program.

RP,

Get you...

I remember getting "the let's do this for the team" speach when I was a Systems Engineer in the 80's. We were "requested" to work (a minimum of) 10 hr days, 6 days a week on a rotating 3-shift basis for one year to "make the schedule". You can imagine the burn-out and resulting quality. I personally logged 450 hrs of OT that year. And quit after the project was in the bag (well, almost in the bag...)

I was trying to be diplomatic ;-)

Bill Gates and the Office Suite. From that point on, MS owned the corporate desktop. Some argumnts can be made in the AS/400 world, but IBM was realy in the HW business at the time.
