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.

      draw.io Desktop 30.2.4 by Razvan Serea draw.io desktop is a downloadable security-first diagramming application that runs on Windows, MacOS and Linux. Creating diagrams in the desktop app doesn’t need an internet connection. This is useful when you are disconnected or when you must create diagrams in a highly secure environment, where data protection is of the utmost importance. When you use the draw.io desktop app, your diagrams will be stored on your local device. Because this is a stand-alone application, also designed to run offline, there are no interfaces to cloud storage platforms available. Of course, you can still store your diagrams in folders that are synchronised to your cloud storage if you wish. Easy-to-use diagram editor The draw.io apps work just like the office and drawing tools you are used to using. Drag and drop shapes from the shape libraries and drag to draw connectors between them. Drag connectors to add waypoints and set a precise shape and position, or let them reroute automatically. Double click and start typing to add a label to anything. Create tables and swimlane flows with a familiar tool. Style shapes and connectors with customisable palettes, sketch options, fonts and text formatting tools. Search for shapes, including in open-source icon libraries. Use our vast libraries of shapes and templates, organised into logical categories, to create a range of diagrams and infographics. Generate diagrams from text descriptions using our smart templates. Diagram faster with keyboard shortcuts. draw.io Desktop 30.2.4 changelog: Uses electron 42.4.1 Updates to draw.io core 30.2.4.
