Photoshop CS4 - new report, old problems
hi there,
although have posted many of following problems in thread, recall them here, because other thread has gone off-topic.
i have been "using" photoshop cs4 came part of production suite premium package long out , have say, me worst release ever.
i work photoshop since version 3 , every new release has had it's flaws fixed after while. hope might case cs4.
so here system specs again:
intel dualcore e8600
nvidia geforce 9800 gx2 (driver: 180.48)
msi p35 neo-2 motherboard (bios: 1.90)
3 gb ram
wacom intuos 3 a4 (driver: pro610-5)
windows xp (service pack 3)
the system brandnew, windows-installation fresh, before cs4 suite there has not been adobe-program on machine.
while quiet happy other programs (illustrator, flash, after effects..even bridge starting become useful), photoshop cs4 shows several glitches , problems on system. these are:
- if activated, gpu-opengl setting deactivates randomly. there's no obvious reason this, in middle of work, rotate canvas-tool no longer available, zooming no longer smooth. while box in preferences still checked opengl , graphics-card recognized correctly, opengl features stop working. after close , restart photoshop normal again, until next time settings deactivated.
i far not able trace reason behavior, seems happen quiet random.
- no "marching ants". in same matter, "marching ants" of selections disappear. while not big problem think should note here reasons of being accurate.
- brush tool stops working. have quiet lot. while paint, brush stops working completely. produces neither strokes nor blotches anymore. in cases hefty drawing can result in strange straight lines brush tool can revived restarting photoshop.
- crashes. haven't had crash cs2 , cs3 once. cs4 crashes seem quiet normal @ point. application freezes, while using transformation tool. killing via windows task manager option.
- slow redraw. above mentioned problems did occur opengl enabled , disabled. makes no difference. deactivating new thing doesn't convert photoshop useful, slower version of cs3. redraw of images considerably slower on cs4 without opengl, on cs3, although gets better after time working it. moving maximized image around feels strange, because build of tiles somehow slow , sluggish.
- features used no longer there or no longer functional. use layer-comps lot. activated opengl script "layer comps files" not work. produces error-message reads:
error 1: unable create window - os error (1400) line: 234 -> dlgmain = new window("dialog", strtitle);
with opengl deactivated works... no idea why.
in addition features automatic web gallery creation have been removed photoshop, figured out how them back.
while these bad things new version (on system is, heard mac-users quiet happy ps cs4 , keep telling me how fast on mac.....) there other things, don't understand. reckon, photoshop cs4 first of mac-product , pc-version somehow adapted or converted.
proof of me new window behavior. windows steeling focus , blocking sight on palettes new long time pc-user me. don't understand, why maximizing image fill complete screen exterminatin

thus exterminating palettes , menus. it, live long other things functional.
today annoyances great, consider reverting photoshop cs3. question is: there way safely install photoshop cs3 parallel cs4 suite? or have deinstall first? how additional installation of cs3 affect file-associations? like photoshop in current state pain in butt.
any on above mentioned issues appreciated.
