Photoshop CS4 is a disaster

>12. OR, shuttup and get a mac. They dont only look good, sometimes they actually work good too.

except this one. we've heard many of the same problems from the other side too.

Well that's all good sense so here's a clickable link:

ProArtist-I had a lot of problems with photoshop cs4 upgraded from cs2. It would crash alot and the cursor would blink alot. I already had the latest drivers, but I installed all of the latest microsoft updates. I went into prefs, performance and set 'Let Photoshop use' to 85%. I when into plugins and unchecked additional plugins. I havn't had any problems since. I can even use gpu. Dont pay attention to kids like Buko, he shouldn't be allowed in forums used by adults. His whining is the worst Ive seen. Hope this helps.

Go get a refund.

By the number of posts in this thread, it would seem that yes, there are major problems for a number of people.

Buko, please tell me again how my whining sounds. I have now installed CS4 on a completely new XP Pro install. I still have the disappearing window content that I had before. And yes, I have the latest freaking drivers.

I'm done with this, until (or if) Adobe gets their program fixed.

It is a pretty poor release indeed :\

Yes, it distracts you from how slowly it redraws the screen.

Incidentally although I have a number of speed issues with CS4 curiously it passes Emil's test with the rough round bristle brush. Everybody seems to have a different experience.

For some reason I experience quite a large lag with typing text layers. Always instant in CS3 but easy to get well ahead of the screen even with my lousy typing speed.

Good for you Paul. CS4 is a terrible version. All that cool rotating and zooming stuff is so distracting.

I already got my refund.
