Creative Suite 4 - Terrible!


Question

I was so excited for creative suite 4, especially for adobe photoshop 64bit and GPU accelaration. I tried the trial and photoshop was performing horribly it had horrible redraw issues when all i was doing was moving some text left and right. I compiled an app with Flash CS4 had a plethora of problems where it had been fine with CS3.

I am disappointed that adobe have released unfinished software. I was wondering if anyone else had tried CS4 yet?

Me too. I'm tyring to get my company to upgrade from CS2 but if what you say is true, I might just ask them to wait a while until the whole product line is stable.

It could be, which was why I was wondering if anyone else had tried it. Although my machine is not that bad it has e6600, 4gigs, 8800GTS 640.

since CS4 have gpu accelration with cuda

update you graphic driver

here

that could help

I hope that its just a driver issue or your PC's software conflicting or something. I'm getting Master Collection CS4 through my job and don't like buggy software. Let's hope my Q9550, 4GB DDR2-1066 and 4850X2 can handle the load.

ah with monster rig and hope doesn't fit will in one line :no:

Yeah I saw that I tried to disable OpenGL and performance was worse :/ The problem is it's not crashing, it's just performing much worse than CS3 (all I was doing was moving 12px text left and right).

"Because of potentially long download times, the suite edition trials are available only on DVD sets."

Direct from the FAQ : http://www.adobe.com/products/creativesuite/trial/faq/

So those that have the Trial of the suite haven't got it from Adobe legitimately, that I can tell.

I signed up and didn't receive anything :(

Already posted about it in another thread, but its running dead awful on my Mac Pro with the 8800GT. Getting massive artifacts in the layer window when ever I try to do anything. Also when I make changes to a layer, I can't see them unless i resize the window, zoom in or out, or do something that refreshes the current document. Shame, glad I kept CS3 installed.

    • I'd say the first one failed to be as popular as Apple anticipated, but the easy adjustment here is to make fewer of them next time around. It would only be a "flop" if it isn't possible for Apple to recover the design and factory tooling costs given the number of units sold, which I doubt would be the case. It isn't like no one bought them; it just failed to become the new hot phone of the year.
    • You're right that it does not follow the plain meaning of the word, but in this context, it is a legal term defined in 49 U.S.C. Kind of how "wire fraud" laws apply even if a physical wire was not used. Given that it is codified in law, and it isn't just automotive journalists that don't understand evolving technology, I highly doubt congress would change a well understood term just because technology makes the term slightly less actuate.
    • This is exactly why I keep saying we are not ready for human free self-driving. These little "bugs" are may seem like random one-offs. There was also the Waymo that drove between police with drawn weapons and the suspect they were pointing them at. From a software perspective it is easy to understand how those extremely rare situations may not have been programed for, but that is the point. If AI needs to be told to watch out for every possible contingency, then it can never be successful. There will always be the possibility of a first encounter that the AI needs to understand to avoid.
