Ps 15 tips on configuration Photoshop configuration tips introduction

Today, Xiaobian brought you 15 tips on configuration in photoshop, let's learn together!

1. In the "Edit" Preferences "File Handling [Ctrl+K, Ctrl+2]”, you can open recently in the sub-menu of the Recently Opened Files “ file displayed in the "Files" The number of file settings. Photoshop will keep track of the last 30 files in secret, but it won't care about the number you specify: it will only show a few entries that you specify. In fact, you can increase the number of recent files displayed inside, so that you can quickly see it.

2, Photoshop requires a scratch disk, the size of which is at least three to five times the size of the largest image you are going to handle — — no matter how big your memory is.

For example, if you plan to process a 5MB image, you need at least 15MB to 25MB of available hard disk space and memory.

3. If you don't allocate enough scratch disk space, Photoshop's performance will be affected. Nie Cun, which is occupied by Photoshop, is limited by the available scratch disk space. So if you have 1GB of memory and instruct Photoshop to use 75% of it, but only 200MB can be used as a scratch disk for design time, then Photoshop will use 200MB in most cases.

Note: To get the best performance from Photoshop, set the maximum amount of physical memory usage between 50% & mdash; — 75%. [Ctrl+K, Ctrl+8] (Edit) Preferences > Memory and Image Cache).

You should not set Photoshop's scratch disk [Ctrl+K, Ctrl+7] (Editing Preferences) plug-ins and scratchpads in the same partition as your operating system, because Doing will make Photoshop and your operating system compete for available resources, which will lead to a decline in overall performance.

4. Press Ctrl and Alt while opening Photoshop, so you can change its scratch disk before Photoshop loads.

5. To restore all preferences to their default values, press Ctrl+Alt+Shift immediately after opening Photoshop or ImageReady. A dialog will appear asking if you want to confirm the reset.

6. Normally, when you select a history and then make changes to the image, all active records are deleted, or more accurately, replaced by the current record. However, if you enable the "Allow non-linear history" option in the "History" folder, you can select a record, make changes to the image, and then the changes will be appended to &ldquo ;History"; at the bottom of the floating panel, instead of replacing all records recorded by the activity. You can even delete a record without losing any of the records below it.

Note: The horizontal line color between historical records indicates their linear relationship. Segmentation in white indicates a linear history, while black indicates a non-linear history.

A non-linear history is not only very memory intensive, it is also very difficult to understand.

7, you can use the "Edit" preferences "File Processing" in the "Image Preview" option [Ctrl+K, Ctrl+2] to save the custom icon to, and preview Photoshop Image of the document:

“Always save ”: Save the custom icon or image preview (in the Photoshop & ldquo; Image & rdquo; page card image & ldquo; Properties & rdquo; dialog box) to you In the image.

Note: Enabling image preview usually increases the file size by approximately 2KB.

“Ask when you store": Allows you to trigger the “thumbnail" option in the “Save as “ dialog.

Note: This option is not really asked when saving; it is only available when you save the image with the "Thumbnails" option.

“Do not always save ”: Disable image preview and custom icons. This option disables the “thumbs” option in the Save as “ dialog box.

Tip: You can trigger the generation of image previews by clicking the "Generate Thumbnails" option in the "Image" dialog box of the Image Properties dialog box in Photoshop.

About Custom Aspects

8. There is a way to remove plug-ins (.8be), filters (.8bf), file formats (.8bi), etc. that you don't need. , that is, use a tilde (~) before their file names (or folders containing them). Photoshop will automatically ignore any files or folders that start with “~”.

This browser will take effect soon, and will be renewed the next time you start ImageReady.

Note: Although you can add other image applications in the "File" Jump to & rdquo; submenu, you cannot change their default image application. ImageReady's default "jump to" image app is Photoshop, while Photoshop's default "jump to" image app is ImageReady.

10, in order for Windows (especially 95/NT) to use a customized display matching curve, only need to do the following:

(1) Delete in the Start menu > Start & rdquo; “Adobe Gamma Loader”.

(2) Determine the path/name of the ICM curve (basically in C: WinNTSystem32Color).

(3) Run RegEdit, find the following items:

Warning! The above order cannot be undone!

12, to calculate the size of the image file, you can use the following equation:

File size = resolution square x width x height x color depth /8192 (bit /KB)

If it is a 24-bit image, for example, when the screen resolution is 72dpi:

File size=width x height x3/1024

Tip: Use 1024 By removing (KB/MB), the size of the file can be determined in MB.

13. To ensure that the histogram level dialog is accurate, turn off “Editing Preferences & Memory & Image Cache"[Ctrl+K, Ctrl+8] & rdquo; check box.
