Using the CS browser really slows down accessing images from the browser and editing images if the browser stays open. mostly using 17mb tiff files.

My system: dual P4 2.4 Zeons, 1 gig RDRam, scratch disk on separate physical drive, available ram usage 466mb or 50%, cache levels =4, browser = allows hi quality previews.

Any thoughts on this problem.

It will slow down until it has built and cached thumbnails for all the images in the current directory. Turning off the background processing preference for the browser will help, as will disabling high quality previews.

Ok, thanks. I had done both of those things previously and it still is really slow. This, I would think, should be something that adobe should address.

if you leave it open to finish building the thumbs it’ll be over and done with. i set mine to the root of where i keep my pictures (MS’s My Pictures folder) then set it to high quality thumbs and traverse sub folders and let it run over night. now it’s done. no more waiting.

right, but if you are constantly updating the image folders it will have to write new thumbnails. I have many folders with different images from different dates and locations….so it still slows down as the files are constantly changing. but i will try your suggestion.

yea, i only add a few dozen a week, so i guess that’s a factor, still better to do a hundred as you add them than thousands every time you open the folder…

then disable the sub folders option and it’ll just update the folder you’re looking at.
