  Hey peoples,

  Anyone else having issues with Photoshop CS4 opening files extreeemely slowly!?

  CS3 opens a 90mb PSD in about 5 seconds..

  CS4 opens the same file in about 2 minutes...!?

  when I started here I was on a 30 day trial for cs4, i specifically requested a downgrade to cs3 as i found cs4 buggy and as you say a little slow.

  yup screw this back to CS3, why oh why did I delete CS3 without testing CS4, lesson learned.

  Surely others must be noticing this as well tho ? :/

  I will say one thing for Photoshop CS4... it does open a hell of a lot faster.
  That and the tool hold to use shortcuts/brush resize shortcut are the only reasons worth getting it, pretty much everything else is a huge fucking negative

    u can change that easily tho– blackspade2/2
