Five steps to improve the speed of Photoshop

Photoshop is a must for many people to work and study. But users know that PS eats memory very much, and when the memory is not enough, it will automatically enable the cache disk, and the computer will become very hot. Of course, part of the reason is that the computer performance is insufficient, and the other part is Photoshop“ how much is used? In fact, as long as we change some of the default settings, we can make it obedient, from the memory monster to the good to eat fast. Here we take Photoshop CC 2015 as an example, using the “performance” option in the Photoshop menu to optimize the running speed of Photoshop.
Five Steps to Improve Photoshop Running Speed

First open the "Performance" option, Location: "Edit" “——"“Preferences”——"“Performance & rdquo;

memory usage

Photoshop appropriate increase in memory usage can increase the efficiency of the software, provided that the computer has enough memory capacity, default 60-70% is actually enough. Of course, a lot of computer memory is just enough to use this, processing photos will open browsers, chat tools or something, then you should consider compressing Photoshop memory usage, leaving space for other software. In addition, if the usual Photoshop usage is not high, and just do some simple processing, then you can also properly compress Photoshop memory usage.

History and cache

As the name suggests, & ldquo; History & rdquo; Photoshop is in the record processing steps, the default record the number of steps The upper limit is 50. If it is not used, it can be reduced to about 20. On the left side of the step record is “Cache Level and Tile Size , the default value is 4. If you frequently process large files (100MB level) and use many layers, then it is recommended to select “larger document”, and vice versa; select “small document”. In general, the higher the cache level, the slower the file is opened, but the faster it is processed after it is opened.

Graphics Processor Settings

Here is the use of graphics card allocation part of the display, computing tasks, requiring users to have a discrete graphics card, you can choose to "use the graphics processor to accelerate the operation" and “ Use the OpenCL” option. If your computer does not have a graphics card, it is recommended to remove the checkmark from all options and no longer consume the resources.

Scratch Disk When the memory runs out, the hard disk will carry the remaining work. The default scratch disk is the system disk, which adds to the already-stretched partition capacity. It is recommended to separate the scratch disk from the system disk, but the non-system version may cause performance degradation, so it is better to choose a solid state disk for the scratch disk. Of course, Photoshop is worth a lot of optimization, here is just to adjust for photography, more optimization settings depends on everyone to explore and learn.
