Full Version: [SOLVED] How to fix system/clock-freezes while using Photoshop CS4
InsanelyMac Forum > Apple World > Applications

Hello everyone,


Concerns:
- Hackintosh Systems with Nvidia Videocards and NVInstallerV.41
- installed Adobe Photoshop CS4 Beta (maybe also Final)

Problem:
- System freezes while using "free transform", "transform" and some other functions in Photoshop CS4 (Filters are not affected)


Solution:
Photoshop CS4 is using video hardware (OpenGL) for some functions. If you get freezes while using the program, please check the following settings:
Photoshop -> Preferences -> Performance -> GPU-Settings
and deactivate the option "Enable OpenGL Drawing" - restart Photoshop
The problem is gone.



Maybe there are many more video cards and driver-combinations affected. If some one get this error, please post your hardware and driver and if my solution fixed it.

Hope someone will help this. I've tried so many ... removed RAM, switched kexts etc.
