Photoshop CS4 is a disaster

When listening to HALs final lines, PS CS4 pops into my mind.
Wonder why that is...

"I'm sorry, Dave. I can't do that."

;)

I am in. I want OUT
;)

>I´ll behave from now on. Promise.

if you do that we can't let you back in! :)

Yes John, I behaved a bit like a raging noob in this forum because I am. Just didn´t want to see this topic getting lost in the mist of time prematurely.
And with CS4 coming my way (and my cash going their way)I can´t help wondering: Will I get a sufficiently working piece of software ?

iVan B. is spot on:
As far as Erbs' comment, I think his post may help educate the new users on the existance of the issue on other threads. I don't think it was malicious (it wouldn't hurt if you link to this thread though, Erbs)

I´ll behave from now on.
Promise.

> Are you a software engineer ar Adobe?

No just another user.

Just about all the Adobe engineers are now identified as such under their names.

> As far as Erbs' comment...

He pasted that same text into at least 4 threads. That was my point.

Quick question, J.J.

Are you a software engineer ar Adobe? I was just wondering if you had an update on the progress.

If not, any of you that are and do? I know you're working hard on this, I just thought an update would be cool.

I contacted nvidia today; I'll post here if I hear anything back from them. So far I'm seeing a number of configurations similar to mine that also have this issue, so I'm hopefull the solution is on horizon.

Yes, we get the point, Erbs!

Exactly the same thing here!
PS CS4 is extreeemly sluggish and choppy with redraws and various inputs.
Even small documents handle like they we´re 10 x 10 feet large.
It´s beyond ridiculous.
I´m testing the trial version atm, but boxed version is on the way...

I´ve tried every possible checking and unchecking of what preferences
have to offer but to no avail.

My GeForce drivers are the very, very, latest and Vista home is automatically up to date.

I keep my system neat and tidy with registry aids, defrags etc.
Needles to say that PS CS 1 ran smoothly.

Specs are:
Acer Aspire 9920 (20" screen monster), 4GB RAM, 500 GB Drive,
GeForce 8600M GT w. 512 MB

Lost.

> It seems the slow down while adjusting color curves is related to resolution. On a 30inch LCD, 2560x1600 native resolution and working on a photo with a resolution of 2592x3888...

That's what I surmised a couple of hundred posts ago!
