I have updated to Photoshop CS6 and I'm having a problem with camera raw adjustments.
When loading a batch of images into camera raw all is fine then after a few images have been adjusted everything slows down. Adjustment controls take 1-3 seconds to activate when clicked on.
Using MacPro 2.66 Nehalem 8 core, 32GB RAM, OS 10.6.8, ATI Radeon HD 4870
Any suggestions welcomed.
Have tried:
disabling all plug-ins
Launching Camera Raw from Photoshop and Bridge
Closing all other programs
Adjusting Camera Raw Cache(currently 10gb)
Hi Adriana,
I get slowdowns in the multiple seconds category, sometimes with as little as one image, but always with 10 or more. For example, load 10 nikon d800 raw files, start going down the line adjusting WB, shadow, highlight, blacks, etc, and by the 3rd image, I guarantee you will be having to wait a second or two before you see your adjustments redraw on the main preview image. After that, I usually use the adjustment brush for simple burning,dodging, mostly of faces, or darkening distracti

Do you get that with 3 x 11 GB DIMMs? I assume it's a typo.
In all seriousness, Adobe: Why haven't you continued to address this issue?
Adriana commented early on, but then.... Nothing.
A "we've reproduced it" would be great, but even a "we hear you and we're continuing to look into it" would be welcome, I'm sure, to the folks who are unable to use the software until you fix it..

Aye, just a keyboard mishap. 32 gb sounds better. I agree with you're comments Noel.

I assume Adobe has allocated more resources to their subscription license (i.e., more/new features, more income), and don't have enough time to address existing problems with the software that people already paid for.

I think in this case it is the software that needs to be more compatible with the hardware...

Looks like ACR 7.2 hasn't helped our problem.
I posted in the photoshop feedback forum here. Screen shots included.
Please chime in to make your issue heard.

Seems to me there are two or more aspects to this issue that should be clarified... Are we talking about one or all of these?

These will give you a visual idea how the various versions multi-thread (yeah, I know, quite likely more detail than you wanted to know).

Hi Noel, So what you are saying is that ACR 7.*** is not supposed to process more than one image at a time, it is however using all the accessible cores to process each image individually? (Based on your screen shots and my test)
If we were to step back to the 2010 process as opposed to the new 2012 process we would have our process times return to what we are used to?

Well... Not exactly. In my case 7.1 and 7.2 clearly are busying a lot of logical processors, but not all - as 7.0 did. Look carefully at all the little graphs - something like 7 of them have gone unused in 7.2.
But just to complicate things, if I open one image, interactively, the doggone thing DOES seem to use all logical processors! This is just weird.
I haven't timed opening the files through the 2010 process, but conceivably it's possible it will execute fewer instructions to get the job done. It would be worth a try.

I started a new thread regarding a 7.2 issue, but perhaps it belongs in this discussion?....
I've noticed that working in 7.0, 7.1 has been slow, but 7.2 is now painfully slow after clicking "done" -- there is a new "Camera Raw | Updating Settings" modal dialog that freezes progress and seems to last 7-10 seconds for each image edited! Has anyone else noticed this?
