FlyingScot wrote: If this was an issue with camera firmware it would not work with any applications using El Capitan. It happens that at least my camera (Nikon D700) works with all importing apps with the exception of Adobe Bridge. It works fine under Lightroom, Image Capture, Photo, Windows under Parallels, etc... It is also surprising that Adobe does not claim this yet as an issue in the Bridge support page (Adobe Support) and has been in denial mode. I first reported the issue to them and have issue claim numbers on Oct 2. Both CS agents were trying to convince me that it was the camera, or the cable or missing drivers (from Nikon) and after remote connecting to my Mac accepted that it was an issue with Bridge. The solution offered did not work. The last issue (0187093251) was closed even after two email communications requesting to keep the issue open. To me this is an indication that Bridge has a very low level of importance on the overall product support priority and likely we will be waiting for a solution for some time until the fix gets bundled with a bunch of other "enhancement features". Very disappointing. Recent blog post concerning the future of Bridge. (Hint: It isn't going anywhere, nor is it of low importance.)  ... View more

Daniel Storch wrote: ???? What has this got to do with this forum ? Problem here is that Capitan has been beta for long time now, and still at launch a major bug in Adobe software is still present. Currently no solution date presented. Firmware for cameras are rather irrelevant in this case, or...? Because: a) I can't download images from my Fujifilm X-S1 in Windows 10. (Whether it be Bridge or simply using Explorer.) I thought the comparisons were similar. (OS + camera = no joy downloading) Yes, the circumstances are different but the results are the same. I will have to wait until December for my solution vs. you, which will probably be smooth sailing before then. b) See above mentioning Bridge. c) Again, technology. No way, no how are we going to get smooth sailing in every release right away. (As we Windows 10 users found out and you El Capitan users found out.) ... View more

Reminds me of Apple's software (ie: iTunes).... every new ver of iTunes would get slower and slower and slower and slower and slower, etc.. Apple said they were "adding new features."  Turned out that Apple was adding features that allowed them to make more money by offering more types of products to sell thru iTunes - their greed continues to kill the performance of iTunes.  Profit before product.  It's industry wide with software... roll it out before it's ready so we can sell more features, nevermind it's buggy at every click.  But then again, I'm probably "holding it wrong." Pretty soon Adobe products could turn into the same software model as most smartphone apps... Give the software away for free, but sell "coins" that allow the users to purchase upgrades and performance enhancements.  So instead of $600 a year from each user, we'll siphon $1,000 a year by making them continue to buy in-app upgrades.  ha. An app like Photoshop is not Candy Crush. I don't mean to sound terse but, please. They make a killing as is with the PS Photog Plan (which is about $120 USD/year). ... View more

Also, is there any chance this problem may stem from the program's constant communication with a cloud? Thank you for offering a solution that I can work with, and not just telling me what's wrong. I really appreciate it. Anything that resides in memory that's non-essential to the task at hand. (Apps that run in the background can be exited in the SysTray in the lower right, usually by right-clicking its icon. e.g., Adobe's own CC Desktop App allows this.) I never let apps run at startup if I can help it. I know what I want, when I want it. You can usually let antivirus and antimalware apps run, but note they, too, can slow down your system due to real-time scanning going on (if it's enabled). These can usually be suspended or paused (usually by right-clicking its icon in the SysTray) while you do something more intensive. The CC App consumes little memory, plus it's needed to sync and check your license at least once a month plus use resources like TypeKit. ... View more

RAM, RAM and RAM would be the best thing to boost the performance of Photoshop/Illustrator. (The same rings true for any application, not just Adobe's oeuvre.) As it stands, on my Windows 8.1 Update machine, I only have a few minor things running in the background and the SysTray. (Only 4 icons active in the SysTray alone.) I have a total of 12 GB of RAM to play with. Photoshop CC 2015, when first opened but with no documents active, takes up about 380 MB of memory. Opening a multi-layer, 16-bit, 3000 x 3000 pixel, 300 DPI document boosts Photoshop use to about 910 MB. I imagine opening and closing documents would continue RAM usage to climb until it reaches the amount specified in Edit > Preferences > Performance > Memory Usage, where it would then auto-flush to make room for current documents. (Maybe Chris can clarify this as I'm no propeller-head on the matter either.) My advice would be to take a long, hard look at what's going on behind the scenes on your system(s). On Windows 8, Ctrl + Shift + Esc will tell you what's going on usage-wise. (I believe the same applies for Windows 7 but don't quote me.) Uninstall or just exit anything that's not essential. Windows Key + Pause/Break will tell you the basics of your system (like processor and installed memory). ... View more

Canvas size refers to the overall "pixel playground" in the document. It encompasses all the layers in your document but does *not* change any aspect of those layers (like dimensions). Image size refers to the overall image size of the document, including the canvas and layers. Changing it changes everything about the document dimensionally. If you need more room for your document but don't want to change your layers you'd go for Canvas Size. (Even better, use the Crop tool and move the handles beyond the boundaries and confirm.) If you want to change the dimensions of the entire document, you'd go for Image Size. If you need to change a particular layer, you'd use any of the Edit > Transform commands or Edit > Free Transform. ... View more

JNK-Art wrote: I agree. I Fault Adobe and MS. Adobe wants you to pay a monthly fee for CC, so don't count on them updating their "not so old software" anytime soon. MS ... are just idiots. Always on the verge of greatness and they do something to mess it up. They are clueless that the vast majority of Surface Pro 3 users are artists. However, until it is fixed I do have a work around for everyone. I've only purchased Sketchbook Pro 2015 (v7) and Corel Painter 2015 (both of which work fine with the Surface Pro 3 (SF3). For CS6 or older programs that strictly use the wintab (aka Wacom like devices) do the following.... Directions: 1. You must download the newest N-Trig driver (ntrig.com). There is a Wintab Driver 1.0.0.16 but there is also a 1.0.0.17 that works as well. 2. Install the driver. Photoshop and most other Wintab (or Wacom like use programs such as - Photoshop CS6/CS5, Corel Painter 12, SB Pro 5 or 6 ... and so forth) will now work on the SP3. 3. However .... other programs such as Onenote, Sketchbook Pro 2015 and their like will not work!!! Note: Corel Painter 2015 are the only "smart" Program Creators to have an option in the programs "preferences" to use n-trig or wacom (aka wintab) drivers. This wonderful program can switch back and forth. Such a simple solution ... hint, hint!!! 4. To get sketchbook Pro 2015 and other programs to work again ... uninstall the N-Trig Wintab driver in the Control Panel/Programs. 5. Yes, you must install and un-install the Wintab driver ... Annoying but it works for all your Art Programs and other Pen Pressure programs/apps. Call MS and ask them to at least create an "on and off switch" for the wintab driver till this gets fixed, (this on off switch should be in the new Surface Pro 3 "Hub" Pen utility program)!!! However, as you can tell from Corel ... software makers can fix this issue as well, hint, hint again Adobe!!! Until it is fixed: All we can do is call MS and ADOBE (and their greedy like,) tell them to fix their software and don't let up till they do. Secondly, I personally will not buy anything (software or hardware) until this is fixed. Thirdly, I will never "rent" my software Adobe. JNK. Not to be an annoying jerk, but a couple of points: Autodesk are moving towards a subscription model. Yes, you can get SketchBook Pro 7 as a so-called "permanent" license but all you're getting is minor updates. (And upgrade pricing is going bye-bye in February, if I recall.) Something to keep in mind as you may have no choice in the future *but* to subscribe. You really don't own the software even in a permanent/purchased setup anyway. They just give a license to use it regardless of the situation. While we're on the subject, Autodesk released their newer version of SketchBook Pro for mobile without letting users of the previous paid version of SketchBook Pro know what was going on. They just dropped it onto the Google Play and the App Store. Not very polite (or professional), in my opinion, and they ended up with a lot of angry users as a result. Corel...maybe it's just me and how I used to use PaintShop Pro, but I could never wrap my head around that app's interface. It's mostly clunky; it's like they're trying to be Photoshop but can't be Photoshop for obvious reasons. I switched to Photoshop Elements 9 from PaintShop Pro X2. I actually considered PSP again before deciding on Photoshop CC. The kicker was trying to use layer masks in PSP. Just...bleh. Guess I was too used to how Photoshop Elements did it (which is very much like how full-on Photoshop does it, minus the fancy style and adjustment layers...which was also one of the reasons why I upgraded). Calling a company like Adobe "greedy" is a bit unfair (not to mention the wrong way to communicate with a company). For $10 USD/month for the latest versions and any and all new features/updates for Photoshop and Lightroom via the Creative Cloud Photography Plan? I'm pretty sure we're the ones getting away with murder there. Adobe made a ton of cash from the CC Photography Plan, hence why they made it permanent. People found it to be the "sweet spot" for subscribing. They couldn't be more right. By the time a couple years pass by, we're still not approaching what people would pay outright just to use a copy of CS6 *minus* Lightroom. People pay more than that a month just to play a stupid MMORPG. Hell, people pay more for in-app purchases on mobile games. Just my observations. ... View more
