I have installed and started using CS4. Dell vostro 400 Windows xp 32 bit intel core2duo E6850 3GB of Ram. Nvidia Geforce 8600GTS Driver version downloaded last week: 6.14.11.7824
In CS3 the active window had a blue border at the top so if you had 20 windows open, you could always quickly see the active window. In CS4 all the windows are gray at the top. Can’t tell easily which one is active. Any reasonable explanation for this ‘improvement’? Any way to change it back the way it was prior to being improved?
And another thing …..
There is a drag lag. When dragging an image across the screen, it appears in two places at once for a second. Uncool. No drag lag in CS3.
There is a zoom lag. Unlike the instantaneous zoom of CS3, there is a zoom lag of a second or so. Uncool.
There is a mysterious gray line that keeps appearing across the top menu bar. Uncool
I also have a 10 month old Dell 1330 laptop running XP that I use for photoshop a lot. Nvidia refers me to Dell for video drivers. Dell will update the XP video driver on this laptop the day after hell freezes over. Is this laptop now a door stop as far as funtioning properly with Cs4? CS3 works well on the laptop.
I like photoshop. I want improvements, but please don’t obsolete hardware that I just bought.
Perhaps I am looking at this the wrong way. Adobe : What hardware actually works well with CS4? Maybe that is the best way of looking at this. With each new CS release, Adobe could just tell us precicesly what hardware to buy and we can trash our current machines and buy whatever they tell us will work. Naaaaaaaaahhhhhh.
