Hello
My Photoshop Cs5 is behaving very strangely since I upgraded to Lion.
Every step or click in Photoshop takes 5+ seconds.
Reset Preferences.
Removed 3rd party plugins.
Reinstalled photoshop.
Nothing helped.!!

My Photoshop CS5 runs fine in Lion, but Bridge CS5 is very strange, slow and unresponsive.

I am having the same problem with Bridge CS5. When I try to do slideshow view I get the fuzzy screen above as well. Bridge and PS CS5 are really slow, but Bridge is almost unresponsive.

That sort of problem usually means that there is a bug in the video card driver, and sometimes defective RAM in the video card. It's possible that there is some other cause, but only a few people have reported such a problem, and the ones I've worked with solved it with updated video card drivers.

James, Determine what video card you have and go directly to the manufacturers website (nVidia or ATI/AMD) and download the latest driver. GPU and OpenGL support | Photoshop CS4, CS5: http://adobe.ly/OpenGL

That's a display or display driver problem. While it could be a bug in the drivers for 10.7, other users haven't reported that sort of problem. So more likely it's something on your system: a corrupt OS install, or bad RAM in the video card.

Hi Chris, Thanks for your reply!
You could be right about this being a display / video card problem.
But one thing I don't understand is why Photoshop CS5 runs perfectly without this bug? PS is also slow, but not anyway near the slowness of Bridge, that sometimes becomes so slow that it is unusable.

Without knowing the exact nature of the problem, I can't say.
The fact that they're slow is also a sign that something is wrong. Other users are not seeing that.

We don't know. There is something odd on your system, but we don't have any idea what that might be. You'll need to do more troubleshooting on your system to narrow down possible causes.

I spent the whole night troubleshooting.

I Disabled them and photoshop is fast again.

Ah, that means that the OS font system has a new bug in 10.7 (darnit, Apple just fixed a lot of font bugs). We'll try to find a copy of those fonts and investigate. Thanks for letting us know!

That just saved my day! Ps was acting so unresponsive, I'm using the magic mouse and I constantly panned around grey nothingness searching for my document, well at least I got to use the navigator more :)

For what it's worth, this link has some great information on trouble-shooting fonts and improving font-related performance.

Often a single third-party font will be bad, yet bring down the quality of all type-related activities. These steps should help identify and isolate the culprit.

One other issue to be aware of is found here:

Basically, when even one of your South Asian fonts doesn't have an English name, it can cause a problem. Turning off font preview is one solution.
