Re: Help! Photoshop CS6 hangs when using brush, cl... - Page 3 - Adobe Community - 4208722

Community Beginner ,

I am having a big problem when using the new CS6 on my Mac (os x 10.7.4). When switching to a new tool, like a brush, or clone stamp, or healing brush etc, Photoshop hangs for about 20 seconds before resuming. It's not 3rd party plug-ins, because I get the same behaviour when I run using the shift key and third party plug-ins are disabled. It doesn't happen every time, but it happens frequently. I've heard that others have had similar problems... are there any solutions - is it a known bug?

Same as Sean - I tried disconnecting my Intuos 3 and using a mouse instead, but PS laughed at me. I added a type layer but doing anything else beyond that with the mouse was impossible.

Egg - what do you mean? Was there a problem with using the mouse, or was it just awkward for you compared to a tablet?

Advisor ,

I'm seeing it here with no Wacom drivers installed. I'm seeing it mostly when I undo (I wonder if it's arbitrary and everyone's just attributing it to the most frequent thing they do? ) though I have seen it with the clone stamp and one time, the same 3 clicks with the polygonal lasso would cause it repeatedly.

Specs: Imac8,1 (which prior to reading this thread, I assumed was the problem), 3.06, 6 gigs of ram, plenty of scratch space. I turned off background save and thus, auto-backup save, thinking that might be associated, but it doesn't seem to be as it hung shortly after that. As I said, no Wacom drivers, but I am running USB overdrive to control my Logitech mouse.

When it hangs, it pins a processor at 100% for some amount of time, and if it's left alone, it seems to me that it might go on that way forever. If I switch to another app, then back to PS, it keeps hanging, but after some amount of time, switching back to PS seems to be what un-hangs it. Maybe my imagination...

I'm in Seattle, you really want to see this?

Sigh. Once again the app appears to be idle and waiting for events, doing minimal drawing and OS event queue management.

Okay here's another one for you - documented as well as I can - it does involve the intuous3 but I can't actually work without it. The details are taken from Activity Monitor. The only other apps open were Aperture 3.3, Mail, Firefox, Finder and the App Store. I have put in links to the three samples taken which are posted on my dropbox folder for neatness.

All 3 samples show Photoshop sitting in an event loop, waiting for input.

It's like somehow the mouse up event never arrives, so Photoshop still thinks the mouse is down and needs to be actively tracked.

That sounds exactally like what is going on. And, somehow seems to be triggered by selecting (clicking) tool icons. Clicking on actions or any of the other pallets does not bring this on.

Chris Cox

This probably happens before you go click on a tool icon - unless you can click without first picking up the pen/mouse.

I bet using the side button on the pen to click or double click might also clear the bad state.

Jesseham

Advisor ,

I'm 99% sure that I've invoked it with cmd-z, not a mouse click.

This seems to contradict your early statement. I have worked for hours with only selecting tools from the keyboard without hangs. Only happens to me after I click on a tool icon.

I bet using the side button on the pen to click or double click might also clear the bad state.

Yes once you get the hang, you have to double click to get out of it or click again on the flyout. Sometime double clicking on the document window will clear it up. Though it is more like releasing the mouse/pen and then clicking again.

Chris Cox

OK, so it might be the mouse tracker for the tool icon (I thought it was tracking the actual tool movement).

Was DYP

Enthusiast ,

Ok, I am giving up for the night. I just tried to test using the mouse or the pen to select tools and I could not get any hangs (earlier today when I was trying to get real work done I got some hangs when I forgot and clicked on a tool icon). Only thing I noticed was on the rectanglar Marquee I had to click on the document twice before I could use it, but I would not call that a hang.

Torokun28

New Here ,

Cmd+Z, side buttons, double click on documents all doesn't do anything once this happens for me. There is nothing you can do within CS6 until it comes out of the "limbo".

AllynSar

Community Beginner ,

Two other observations: (1) I have had the problem within an action that selects a brush tool for me to use. (2) The first brush click is accepted as I can see the result of that click (a single painted dot) after Photoshop recovers using the "dance" I described earlier. This does seem to fit the idea that Photoshop is waiting for an event but not as a result of selecting a tool from the tool icon.

sean_b99

New Here ,

That's very useful Chris - if I can get a reasonable workaround I'll be delighted. Thanks for your help.

AllynSar

Community Beginner ,

I have experienced the same problem on a MacPro3,1, latest software and yes I am using a Wacom tablet. I have found that I can detect and "cure" the problem with the following steps:

(1) If the tool icon does not change when I move the cursor to the tool bar, then I know Photoshop is stuck.

(2) I click on some other window (Bridge is often the one I use since it is on my second monitor).

(3) I then click back on Photoshop's window. Something may happen but Photoshop is still stuck and I do not try to do anything in Photoshop.

(4) I immediately click back on the other program's window.

(5) Now clicking yet again on Photoshop's window clears the hang-up.

This allows me to keep working in seconds but a real fix is definitely desired.

Was DYP

Enthusiast ,

Sounds like your selecting tools by clicking on them with the mouse or pen. Your describing the same kind of problems I have if I click on the toolbar.

If I select the tools with keyboard I don't see these hangs. I still have a suspicion the tool flyouts are the root of this problem.

Adam Jerugim

Adobe Employee ,

Yes, going to Seattle is certainly an option as we'd like to figure this one out and get it resolved ASAP. Can you email me directly so that we can set something up? Try my name as it appears in my posts, all lower case with a dot between the first and late name at adobe dot com. If for some reason that doesn't work, you can try my non-adobe email: travlin_adam at yahoo dot com.

Thanks,
Adam

Climbining memory usage could be just normal behavior -- unless it climbs over the limit you set in preferences.

(Photoshop has to keep allocating memory for the new image changes and history states for your document)

sean_b99

New Here ,

Chris, it wasn't the fact that it was climbing - it was the fact that it had locked me out of doing anything and was climbing fast. I had a single document open which had a couple of layers in it and it wasn't anything ridiculous, it was A4 at 300dpi (letter sized). I did a single brush stroke which triggered the condition. I am a programmer and actually started over thirty years ago writing a precursor to photoshop. I know about buffering and memory useage, even though now I just code in objective-c in the past I was an assembler and c programmer. What is happening here is not normal behaviour.

Chris Cox

We haven't seen any leaks that fast. Can you get a profile/sample when that happens?

sean_b99

New Here ,

Yeah, I'll see what I can do although no guarantees as I am on a very tight deadline at the moment (which is why this is such a pita).

I have just upgraded to PS CS6 and am running Lion 10.7.4 on a 3.6ghz i5 iMac 27" with 12gb ram. I am having this problem when I use the paintbrush, I try to do some painting and it will go off into limbo for maybe five minutes or more using 100% of cpu. I have posted a sample of the process as requested below. I am also using a Wacom Intuous 3 with driver version 6.2.0w4. If I get control back any time soon I will create a new user and try running with the tablet unplugged as well.

Update your Wacom driver to version 6.3.1-w2. I have seen improvements with your kind of problems.

As for delays when first selecting tools, at this point I think it might be a Wacom driver problem also, as I could not get delays when selecting tools with the keyboard. Also am noticing when zooming or panning with the tablet involved I am getting delays but don't seem to be getting delays when using the keyboard. I still need to do more testing on this though.

bcmorrison99

I have also updated to the newest wacom drivers. I don't see any significant improvement.

I can reproduce the hang when selecting tools with either keyboard or mouse. It doesn't seem to make a difference.

sean_b99

New Here ,

Thanks DYP, I will. I tried unplugging the tablet and just using a wired apple mouse and it worked fine although it was more or less impossible to do anything useful in photoshop without the tablet.
