Photoshop Tune-up


Earlier tonight I ran across this quick technote on adobe for maximizing performance in Photoshop. Some really simple tweaks that can help make a difference. You can find the full list here: Optimize performance in Photoshop (Mac OS) - Support Knowledgebase. But here’s the basics:

  1. Set a huge scratch disk
  2. Fine tune File browser
  3. Check if you need 16bit images
  4. Adjust image cache
  5. Deselect export clipboard
  6. Minimize palette preview thumbnails
  7. Make sure Async I/O plug-in is enabled
  8. Disable Watermark plug-in
  9. Optimize layers
  10. Optimize resolution
  11. Turn off maximize compatibility
  12. Use Filter Gallery before applying filters
  13. Drag and drop. Don’t copy paste
  14. Give more memory
  15. Get a new PC

Speaking of PS, I found some really awesome plugins that I’m trying out right now, i’ll probably be buying both in the next few days. PT Lense & Photomatix. More on that later.
