Author Odd Behaviour in CS
Jack

2005-09-14, 7:15 pm

Hi
I've found an odd behaviour in CS, and I wondered if anyone else has
experienced similar?
After resizing an image to 630x420 pixels @ 72 ppi, I found I could not
use any brush tools on it, without receiving a "could not complete your
request because of a program error" In several instances, it crashed PS
altogether.
I deleted the prefs file, tried reloading the brushes, tried different
images....all of them resulted in the same error.
The odd part is that at any other dimension, say 640x426, everything
works just fine. I've experimented with this for a while, and have yet
to figure out why 630 pixels seems to send the program into a fit...any
ideas?
Best Regards
Jack

Jack,

Odd behaviour indeed. I tried re-sizing an existing image to 630x420x72 in CS2
(note Two) and was able to use every tool, with not problems. OS=XPmce SP-1,
3.4GHz, 2GB RAM. I will try this on a CS machine later today, to see if any
problems exist. As for what is happening to you, I do not have a clue. If I
get any similar problems in CS1, I'll let you know.

Meanwhile, good luck,
Hunt

Same here - CS on WS2003, P4 3.2GHz, 1GB RAM, HT enabled.
Also at 630x419. I can't be bothered to try any other sizes.

The application event log blames MMXCore.8BX:-
"Faulting application Photoshop.exe, version 8.0.0.0, faulting module
MMXCore.8BX, version 8.0.0.0, fault address 0x00028238."

Disabling that plugin by prefixing its name with ~ before starting Photoshop
stops the error.

So is this a known bug, an unknown bug, or simply and undocumented feature
:-) ?

A couple of versions ago, I think it may have been 7, or possibly 6,
there was an MMX related problem which made Adobe release a .01
upgrade. It was specifically an MMX problem related to Intel chips. I
wonder if it's been broken in this latest version?
