I have had precisely the same experience with CS as Michael has now. Adobe has been back and fore with suggestions that have taken (literally) days to attempt to try out, with no change at all. Some filters will refuse to run (not enough RAM on a 2Gb Win2k Pentium system); efficiency drops to 30% or lower after only a few changes to a 25Mb file; one set of files of around 300Mb wouldn't open at all (Photoshop CS refused, with errors), but the files are good. None of the problems replicate with PS7, which opens the 300Mb file in a couple of seconds (PSCS can take 20s or more to open the smaller files that it decides that it will bother with).
If it wasn't for the camera raw plug-in and a couple of other features, I'd be back with PS7 until this is sorted out. My impression is that Adobe doesn't think there are many/any problems like this out there in the real world. The more people that report this, the better as far as I am concerned. I suspect that CS memory management has changed radically somewhere, and on some systems there is a conflict of some form; for me, CS is broken! PS7 was brilliant! Chris Howes >Ive downloaded the CS try out and am also testing a Kodak14n. When trying to open a raw file im getting an error message saying Ive not got enough ram. Ive 2 gb ram, 1.6gb allocated to PS running win 2K on dual athlon system with lots of hard drive space and dedicated scusi scratch discs. Any ideas from you more experienced CS users. =============================================================== GO TO http://www.prodig.org for ~ GUIDELINES ~ un/SUBSCRIBING ~ ITEMS for SALE
