hey guys i just got a macbook pro with 2 gb of ram. I installed photoshop cs2 and was playing around and found that it is really slow and bogged down with certain actions. For example, when i set the tablet's touch strip to increase and decrease brush size it doesnt flow smoothly through the sizes, it jumps around, making it difficult to land on the size i want. Also when painting and im doing alot of quick strokes, it takes a second for some of them to show up. Please help, is there a setting i have to change or was a macbook pro a bad choice!?

You could try updating Photoshop, I'm not sure which is the right update, but you never know, it might help. My Painter was all laggy until I got the latest update.

I THINK one of these might help

Good luck

Hey, thanks, t helped with the lagging brush strokes, but still not with the increase/decrease in brush size. Anyone know about that? is it just a mac thing??

personally i wouldnt use a mac. i have never had any problems with photoshop on a pc & IMO macs are a waste of money. in comparison to pc's theyre expensive to buy, expensive to upgrade, their OS sucks, they look horrible and have no real benefit over a pc.

but on another note, how big are ur projects and how much ram do u have? that might be why.

Sensitivity settings?

[eonfaiths]

My projects arent big at all. It was the first layer, just messing around by dashing colors around to see how it ran.

I have 2gb of ram

Sensitivity settings: Its the one notch above middle (middle being between soft and firm) How would that affect the speed at which it runs?

AHA! i called Apple tech support and they said that photoshop hasnt been released as a universal binary yet. When running on OSX it needs to translate the information first and then display it, once adobe releases the universal binary update, either online or in stores, it will run a bit slower. :D
