    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 ? :/

    On a MBP with 2GB of RAM with CS4, just opened a 200MB file with not a lot of bother, probably 15-20secs

    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

    • I hate the way artwork windows are displayed, copy/paste is fucking annoying with it.dyspl1/2
      u can change that easily thoblackspade2/2
