A Complain To Adobe

as start of weeks dawns , of come face face our “income earning” pursuits, faced again adobe , suite of software source of terror, stress , lack of productivity in our lives. attempt list stressful situation face using adobe’s suit of products. without profanity, childish name callings or language of ranting.

• (1) program launch time: on average use indesign, photoshop, illustrator, dreamweaver, premier , after effects. on average each program takes full 2 minutes launch , ready use, adobe programs has habit of pretending ready not quite ready, try clicking on “file” menu. biggest offender here photoshop illustrator close second. indesign no better , reverts default settings our custom settings saved. quite annoying cater international clientele different measurement settings, imagine time wasted client in europe using metric system , american imperial standards.
• (2) program false exit: @ least 3 time week surprise see adobe program “illustrator biggest offender” running when closed 3 days ago, has force quit offending application.
• (3) destroying session: when adobe program misbehaves , do, brings entire system down. example being dreamweaver , browser use previewing. when dreamweaver slows crawl, browser, , other program may running notepad draws little system resources. seems no matter what’s done after including closing programs, session dead resulting in complete , time consuming system restart.
• (4) fonts: desktop publishers know better copy of our thousands of fonts fonts directory. use extensis suitcase load font sets kept on external usb 3 drive, yet every time launch photoshop “initializing fonts” popup comes , lingers 5 minutes before can done. sure have big sets of fonts loading suitcase no more 150 fonts know clean, being adobe’s own fonts library.
• (5) sluggishness: sure blamed on myriad of things we’ve seen sluggish slow behavior adobe’s programs, photoshop comes halt simplest of task opening 4mb jpeg. can’t put our fingers on it. 8gigs of ram defrag , system maintenance, don’t understand why photoshop freeze 5 minutes watch status bar progresses. seems though it’s big “no, no” have dreamweaver , photoshop running, not mention adobe bridge, that’s story. multi-tasking adobe products seems pipe dream.
  
  adobe’s programs major source of stress in our multimedia business, i’ve heard mildest , calmest of people use profanity dozens of times day try earn living using adobe’s programs. smoke , coffee breaks usual sign adobe program creeping, freezing or has caused system restarted. adobe must take time realize of real users, earning our living using products , not recreational user downloaded cracked copy experiment. we’ve tried everything, more memory no web connection , system adobe suite of program installed, yet programs still problematic use. seems reading same outdated diagnostic book same old questions “what anti-virus program using” can’t tell how annoying after waiting 2 days answer, question answered question. wish dump adobe’s suit monopoly in full effect, there isn’t photoshop or dreamweaver out there. final cut guys on mac laughing @ premier guys on windows 7 , 8. in adobe’s products have great features there wrong products, very, wrong. on average week, loose 5 , half hours of non-productivity due adobe’s programs, that’s 27 hours month, 324 hours year or 13 days year, that’s real money in lauguage..

i think have issues computer - computer specs.

 

what versions of adobe running? computer(s) match minimum spec specified each program.

 

what operating system using?

 

 

1 - system specs and/or hard drive speed - system specs, hard drive speed.

 

2 - programs can take long time exit, experience indesign - , think it's dumping memory. it's idea save , exit program after prolonged use , restart program. there's checklist here of things try http://indesignsecrets.com/why-is-indesign-soooo-slow.php

 

3. - think system issue. recommend system clean tool ccleaner - uninstall programs not using @ (i'm not talking adobe programs here). think clean of registry ccleaner help. no harm take @ startup items , remove program starting in background when system booting, turning off unessential startup programmes free system resources , allow faster boot time.

 

4. susggest bring issue on extensis website - don't think indesign/photoshop/et al programs designed work way - it's bit unusual me.

 

5. 4mb jpeg not big it's big enough. have taken @ optimising photoshop cache? http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/kb/optimize-performance-photoshop-cs4-cs5.html

 

 

 

i don't think there wrong products - think should @ optimising system run programs bit better , have more pleasant time.

 

 

some people buy beautiful car , doesn't have enough engine perform in top races - people buy beautiful computers, hardware (engines) aren't enough run tracks (programmes) - worlds beautiful engine need tweaked inline programs running.
