![]() This allows me to multitask and use other programs, such as Lightroom, without having to shut down Photoshop to free up memory. Most of the time when I run Photoshop it uses under 25,000 K of RAM when no files are open. If it always behaved this way then it would be working as Adobe intended, but that is not the case. I have watched Photoshop behave erratically and consume MUCH more memory than usual on many occasions. Just as well we can still download CS6 from Creative Cloud. But on entry level machines, with 4GB - 8GB of ram, you will have to admit there is a serious bug in Photoshop CC, and I hope it can be sorted out. ![]() It is possible that Adobe is doing their performance testing on very high-end systems, where the results are comparable. It is not acceptable to say we must look at our systems when the preference settings in both versions are set the same. In all these cases, CC just lost all resemblance of any performance compared to CS6. I tried simple tasks on both CS6 and CC, like rotating a 1GB image 90 degrees clockwise, rotating it 15 degrees, etc. The same resize using Photoshop CS6 (on Windows 7) is virtually instantaneous (between 1-2 seconds). In Photoshop CC the exact same resize, on the same image, and the same preferences, took 3+ minutes!! On Windows 7, I cannot even resize this image from 60MB up to 300MB, Photoshop CC just gives an error that there is not enough RAM. In Photoshop CS6 it takes between 5 and 10 seconds. In one simple test I did, I resized a small 60 MB file up to 1 GB (72dpi to 300dpi). I did clean installs of both applications from Creative Cloud today, and nothing changes. In the case of both systems, in all the benchmarks and testing I have done, using the same configuration for both versions (CS5 and CC), I get the same strange results. I am also experiencing, like many other users have expressed here, issues with Photoshop CC. You are going to waste your time.Ĭhris, your comments are interesting, but not satisfactory. Not a virtual one that doesn't help.įor those of you looking through this thread for valuble information, just leave now. Unlike some of you i have the real world to deal with. I know you will leave the last word so, go ahead but I am not going to respond. Just people bragging about there computers. I came on here for solutions and it is obvious that there aren't going to be any. I dont' have the time to post 22,000 times. I am done with this thread because it is nothing but no-it-alls with absolutly no realistic solutions. My Macbook is a year old and it has been upgraded so, it should be able to handle a photo editing program. ![]() I don't collect computer parts for a hobbie and I am not on a PC where it is possible to put 48GB in your system. Having 48GB may suite the needs for a person like yourself but in normal circumstances it is overkill. Once again, i am not a programmer or a computer guru nor do I EVER intend to be. So, you are saying 48 GB is a normal amount? I am not doing 3D model and animation rendering. That kind of test is more important the more the application version is out of step with the OS version, because while someone else might say that Photoshop CS6 starts up on Mojave, they may not have the specific combination of hardware/software that you have, so they may not discover a glitch that you would run into.Well tell that to Apple. If it all works, then upgrade your production Mac to Mojave. and make sure it all works with a typical project. It’s a good idea to follow the advice in the CS6 section of the article: If it’s important that Photoshop CS6 not only work but be productive in your workflow, go find/borrow an empty spare volume (hard drive or SSD) to create a test system: install Mojave on it, boot the Mac off of that test system, and install the software that’s critical to getting your work done like Photoshop CS6, along with any plug-ins and driver software you use for your printer, scanner, tablet, etc. However I did not test it with extended editing, exporting, printing, etc. It’s been a while since I had Mojave installed, and that article on my blog is unfortunately not specific about Photoshop CS6, but think I was probably able to start it up in Mojave.
