Hi guys,
I've got some trouble and am hoping I can get some help. (thanks in advance to anyone!)
Background:
Using CS5 for photo editing using Nik Plugins (primarily colorefexpro4) on 16-bit TIFF files that are 128mb each. My workflow is a bit convoluted, but I've always got the results I want. Recently had to reinstall windows due to various very stupid reasons on my part. Did a clean install, which is what I usually do. Something's different this time, though. Last time I reinstalled Windows 7, I had a somewhat similar problem, but that's because it turns out I didn't have the right driver to enable GPU use, but that was swiftly resolved. The same fix does not seem to work this time. There has been no hardware change.
I know this isn't due to having insufficiently spec'd hardware. This problem has just started.
Problem:
Photoshop freezes and "is not responding" for about 20 seconds when I first open the file. It then does the same thing when I try to load Color Efex Pro 4. Then the same thing again. when I apply the filter. As you can imagine, this is so slow that it's a deal-breaker in trying to get anything done.
Attempted fixes so far:
Reinstalled windows multiple times - no change
Update all drivers - no change
Windows Update - no change
Different GPU configurations - file loads instantly in photoshop, but no change in Color Efex Pro
I'm running CS5 on a Lenovo T530 with Windows 7 Pro 64bit.
Specs:
CPU - i7-3820QM 2.70GHz
RAM - 16GB
Disk: Kensington SSD
Graphics: Intel HD Graphics 4000 and NVIDIA NVS 5400M
If you need any more info, I'm happy to provide. Taken some screencaps to give you an idea what I'm running and how it's configured.
