Photoshop and Vista:smoothing issue

#21

So far so good!
The only drawback is that i cannot apply custom theme anymore…
Have to wait SP1 to be more widespread…
ah they all look the same anyway right now…

File transfer are better…and most important…Photoshop is cured!

#22

This CS3/Vista thing is really pissing me off. I just got my tablet this morning and uncover this apparent circle jerk going on with the drivers. This is incredibly disappointing, especially since the pen works wonderfully with sketchbook 2.

#23

I had the same issue with the brushes until… I did as previously stated by someone else and turned off the native pen features of vista…then everything worked perfectly.

#24

I’ve used photoshop under Vista, the performance is really really bad

I’ve used many version of Linux and windows, and I used Mac for sometime. Vista is by far the worest operating system I’ve ever used!

I’m into programming and technical database design, but I use photoshop and some other programs to retouch my photography. It’s really really bad.

I think Vista is an absolute failure, at least for professional graphics users.

#25

Then stop using it and bitching about it. I did not create this thread for ranting about Vista.
It was about a specific problem, which is now SOLVED.
If you have something useful to say, you are welcome to say it. But your bitching is irrelevant here.

Besides that, your statements are really vague.
In my case, digital painting with Photoshop, Vista is clearly a winner…load times are shorter, brush performance is higher.

For lagging tablet strokes just go into your device manager and open the “Input Device” tree. Disable “Wacom virtual Hid Driver” and the lag is gone :slight_smile:

#27

I’ll add my own experience here…disabling TabletPC features in Vista didn’t help in my case…(the lagging was also present when i used a mouse)
It had more to do with the Hard drive functioning like crazy each time i laid down a stroke…
delaying the drawing of the stroke

Upgrading to SP1 did the trick.

#28

SP1 did not fix my problem. It’s a very specific problem.
I still get severe mouse/pen lag when I pan around an image. It’s as if it does not refresh when I pan to a new area, and the cursor drops to about 1 FPS.
I have to zoom to refresh it.
Of course it could be the nvidia drivers for my 8800GTX, but it’s been like this for the last 3 driver updates.
Maybe something to do with my RAID 0 setup? Anyone else have that?

#29

I am really curious to know if ATI (amd) people have these kind of problems…

All those things happened shortly after i went from ATI to Nvidia…

#30

I’ve honestly experienced no problems at all. Is it for all brush activity or just going fast, or on a very large canvas?

I do note that I have a lot of choppyness when moving palettes for sure. That’s about it though.

Specs: E6550, 4GB low latency RAM, 8800GT 512MB. Running Vista Home Premium x64.

#31

There are no limiting factors. On any canvas, even 512x512, where the image is bigger than the document bounds (say I’ve zoomed in so can pan around it)
After I pan to a new area and release, I get severe mouse lag. It’s not just brush activity, but just moving the cursor around the image is lagged to 1 FPS.
I have to zoom the image to refresh it and the problem disappears.
Since you don’t have it, it’s obviously not a vista problem, and I dont’ think it’s a 8800GTX/driver problem, since others with that card don’t have it.
I don’t get this panning lag in painter or paint shop pro, it’s unique to photoshop.

#32

Where did you configured your scratch disk? Even tried to delete the ps temp files, moving the scratch disk to another harddisk and tuning the photoshop settings?

#33

Yeah, I don’t know what to tell ya. I just tried out some things and got a tiny bit of lag working on a 10k x 10k document with a 1400px chalk brush.

Make sure your copies of Vista are updated fully, got all your drivers for all your hardware and hope for the best I guess.

edit: "Make sure you don’t have the Histogram open in Photoshop.

It analyzes the image on every stroke and causes this annoying lag."

“im running Vista64 U with CS3 and haven’t had a single fault with my setup (i’ve disabled the Wacom Virual Hid Driver)”

Read those off another forum.

#34

i am facing the same problem now. vista CS3, intuos2, 4GB ram.
did somebody found a solution meanwhile?

#35

well, activating aero theme fixed it. what a crappy operating system…

#36

Crappy operating system?

I’d suggest you go and read & educate yourself a little bit before saying that Vista sucks.

Vista was far from perfect in it’s inception into the world of OSs. Now with SP1 it’s spectacular.

#37

vista still sucks, even with SP1 :stuck_out_tongue:
