Question

Photoshop CS4 is a disaster

I'm am just at a loss of words.

What a mess. It could not be any slower. What were you thinking Adobe?

You ripped apart the code just to add GPU support for what? To provide worse performance?

Make sure you DL the demo first... CS4 is a disaster.

The latest hardware cant even run it smoothly... Dont tell me its graphic drivers.

      so I hate to be a nay-sayer to all of you complaining about CS 4's speed, but I have it loaded on 2 machines. one is a macbook with 2 gig of ram and a dual core 2.3 ghz processor and the other is a mac pro with 2 2.66 ghz dual core processors and 3 gig of ram, and on both machines CS4 runs like the dream that CS2 and CS3 never was.

      I have tested the start up and shut down times of all three versions of CS and 4 outperforms the others by 10-12 second and the processing of the images I am working on is great.

      I am most happy with bridge and adobe camera raw, the new features added there are so fantastic i nearly wet myself.

      From the testing I have read the only thing mentioned was that the video cards can't keep up with cpu demand. This is on serveral websites and different tests.

      So maybe this puppy made by Nvidia can boost things up. Only $3,499 each. It does dishes too........ lol
