Photoshop CS4 is a disaster

Hey, hey! Adobe released the 11.0.1 Photoshop patch and it fixed the slow redraw problems I was having! I am now good to go. All is right with the world for me. :) Thanks!

hi!
I've been looking forward a solution for Open GL problems in CS4 for weeks. I have the same graphic card that some of you use, nvidia quadro Fx1500, as you say , it is a tested one, but I can't use the Open GL pluggin or after effects crashes. Do you have de same problem?? Did you manage to fix it??
I've contact the support service of adobe, but they don't seem to know how to fix it o what the real problem is. They only tell me to disable the pluggin, bla, bla bla....
Hope you know something about this...
Thanks
Marisa

PD: Photoshop does't let me use the Open GL as well, it suggest me to update the drivers of my graphic card, but they are already updated...do you know something about it?

when you went on line and activated your Vista 64 bit download with a OEM serial number that was assigned to your OEM Windows software, Windows activated?

UPDATE:

It tracked it down to an image interpolation problem and it seems Bicubic is the way to go. But there is still a subtle difference between the rotated and un-rotated image. Has it always been this way even in previous versions?

Thanks.

Like most of the users here, I too had my problems with CS4. Luckily one of the suggestions from the good people here managed to make my CS4 tolerable.

I just noticed something very odd though. When I use free transform to rotate an image (arbitrary or using the shift key for increments), the image degrades noticeably. I tried duplicating a layer, rotating it CW by holding the shift key, press enter, free transform it again, and put it back to its original position, it is now very much degraded compared to the control layer. In fact, I started with a square selection and there are now bits of pixels outside the image's borders.

Disabling OpenGL does nothing.

I would very much appreciate your thoughts on this. Thanks.

JJ,

Thanks.. I think I get it

People can spend a lot on computers I have 14TB of RAID 3 FC in my house and another 14TB NAS for backup in a fire-proof closet in the basement My wife is going to kill me some day

Some gaming machines are really high-end... $1K for a processor can be a lot or a little depending on perspective

The first processor that I did serious imaging work with was a 370/600J. I think it was about $10M USD, but that was a while ago Of course, $10M was real money in those days We did some cool stuff back then The DASDE farm was larger than most shopping centers; and cost $12M a year to maintain. Not to date myself, the code was in Fortran.... and some card decks were involved.

Gaming is an interesting world When I was in graduate school, the local champ was the Charmin of the Mathematics department Go figure

I was only wondering about Freeagent's reference to gaming. I think Larry was referring to what you could spend on a CPU.

Freeagent, LH, JJ --

Do not seem to understand the last few messages...

Are you commenting on the cost of systems, cards, neither/both?

Are you stating that you have high-end or low-end systems?

If you are commenting that PS team consistantly blames nVidia/ATI/others for problems, then I agree.

On my systems, the gross OGL errors got corrected after 11.0.1 Beta2. No updates from nVidia required. These are all Quadro FX and CX series cards...

How about 1K for a cpu?

I did wonder. :)
