Photoshop CC -> performance down, memory usage up.

[legrady]

I recently switched to Photoshop CC.

I noticed performance was slow, memory usage was huge. At first I thought it might be because I was processing somewhat larger panoramas than previous ( eg merging 25 images at 21 MP each ).

Then my SSD drive crashed when the sysem ran out of memory, and I can't recover it.

I reinstalled Mac OSX 10.7.5 on the original HD and re-installed PS. Now my network bandwidth has jumped from under 1 GB uploaded per day, to 20GB, 30GB, 44 GB uploaded.

I don't know how much of this can be traced to PS CC, other than it's slow performance and high memory usage, but it' a suspicious coincidence.

I am running:

Intel(R) Core(TM) I7-4790 CPU @ 3.60GHz

12GB Ram

GeForce GTX 750

480GB SSD Toshiba as Main Boot (adobe installed onto SSD)

and a 1TB Toshiba HDD as spare.

I have used all apps mainly After Effects (3d rendering, 4K editting) and am having no problem at all with it.

That should surely use a lot more than Photoshop CC.

I had no issues at all with Adobe CS6 and once I updated, I went to sharpen a small image in Photoshop and it took around the 2 minute mark to sharpen then froze and crashed. That to me is the software not my system.

But, Ever since I opened Photoshop for the first time, my After Effects and everything else on the desktop seems to be going a little slower.

Since the last update I have had Photoshop CC 2015.5 freeze a number of times.  It does recover but it often takes several minutes.  Usually I'm working of a picture that is 5000 x 3350 px.  Not always the same tool or effect.  My system is similar to Georgie's except 6 core AMD (3.8GHz) and 16GB mem set for 9GB for Photoshop.  There is something wrong with Photoshop.

I am having the same problem.

I have 38gb left on my mac, and as soon as I open a photoshop file which is 19Mb, it starts to say that I am running our of memory.

It has been a pain to work with photoshop CC. Luckily I still have Photoshop 6.

MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Mid 2014)

Processor: 2.5 GHz Intel Core i7

Memory: 16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3

Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce GT 750M 2048 MB

I am getting very frustrated as I really liked my CS6 and thought I would try CC2017 but now regret signing up for it.

It is far too slow and frustrates me - it is useless.
