I needed to edit some of the metadata that gets saved with images.The images in question were pulled from a camera and are 2576x1932 @ 230dpi, and saved as PSDs. In Photoshop CS4, if I open the PSDs and go to File > File Info, it takes approximately 2-3 minutes before it displays the dialog window. In the meantime, photoshop freezes and jumps to 25% CPU utilization. That seems like an excessively long time, considering my hardware specs are decent (Win XP 32-bit, Q9550, 4GB RAM seen as 3.25GB). Any other actions, such as opening, saving and editing take under a second.

Is there a faster way to do this?

  • Have you tried it in Bridge? – Daniel A. White Nov 04 '10 at 01:43
  • Could you please post one such image so I could have a look. Include @harrymc in a comment when it is available. – harrymc Nov 04 '10 at 07:10
  • @Daniel I don't use bridge, but I gave it a whirl and that function seemed to operate quickly (loading bridge, however, took quite a while). @harrymc here's an example file: http://forceflow.50webs.com/100_0916.zip – Force Flow Nov 05 '10 at 19:01
  • Some thing is wrong with your link, the file seems to be truncated to 129 bytes. – harrymc Nov 05 '10 at 19:49
  • As it turns out, that hosting service now has a file size limit where it didn't before. I uploaded elsewhere: http://www.mediafire.com/?ebdwsuezl0dy5v0 – Force Flow Nov 05 '10 at 23:04
  • Mediafire refuses to work without cookies, so no way I'll give it free access to my browser. In any case, I see the problem is solved. – harrymc Nov 06 '10 at 09:44

After rebooting, clearing out all my temp files, running windows updates, and running adobe updates, it looks like the problem fixed itself. Opening the file info dialog now takes about 1 second to open.
