Photoshop Cs6 problems?

Okay so I downloaded some brushes and then my photoshop cs6 started to work a lot slower and it just wasn't working right at all. So I deleted the brushes but it didn't change. So basically the problems are when I try and use a brush the brushing is delayed and when i switch tabs it won't let me back onto the program and when I try and make a simple picture with just text and a photo and then try and save for web this pops up 'This image exceeds the size Save for Web was designed for. You may experience out of memory errors and slow performance. Are you sure you want to continue?'

  • It sounds like you don't have enough RAM on your pc, at least 8gb is recommended for using Photoshop (the more, the better!). To check what yours is, click Start > Computer > System Properties and have a look at your RAM and processor (core i7 is recommended for using ps). If these are fine...

    Try changing the image size to a smaller dimension, too large ones will make Photoshop lag while painting and using filters. Click on Image > Image Size to see how large your picture is. I keep mine in the 1000x1000 to 3000x3000 pixels range for .jpg and .png, for example. If it's an animated GIF, you will want to keep those even smaller (around 500x500 to 800x800 pixels) and limit the amount of frames you have or else your pc will have a hard time processing it. When it gives you the message and asks are you sure you want to continue, you can if you'd like, but it may take 3-10 minutes to an hour to process...if it doesn't freeze. Depends on your computer.

    I hope I cleared up your question? Feel free to ask me something else if you still have questions, I may be able to help. :)
