What about the slow-running Photoshop card?

It is well known that Photoshop takes up memory, and when memory is not enough, it automatically enables the cache disk, and the computer becomes very cotton. Of course, this is partly due to the lack of computer performance, and the other part is Photoshop "How much use how much" working principle.

In fact, as long as we change some of the default settings, we can let it obediently obedient, from the memory troll to eat less fast-running good horses. Here we take Photoshop CC 2015 as an example, using the "performance" option in the Photoshop menu to optimize the speed of Photoshop.

First open the Performance option, Location: "Edit"--> "preferences"--> "performance"

Memory usage

The appropriate increase in Photoshop memory usage can increase software efficiency, provided that the computer has enough memory capacity, the default 60-70% is actually sufficient. Of course, a lot of computer memory just just enough, processing photos will open the browser, chat tools, and so on, you should consider compressing the amount of Photoshop memory, to other software reservation space. In addition, if the normal use of Photoshop is not high, and just do some simple processing, you can also compress the amount of Photoshop memory.

History and caching

As the name suggests, "history" is the function of record processing steps in Photoshop, the maximum number of default logging steps is 50, if not used can be reduced to about 20. On the left side of the step record is the cache level and tile size, and the default value is 4. If you frequently work with files that are large (100MB level) and use a lot of layers, it is recommended that you choose a larger document, whereas a smaller document is selected. In general, the higher the cache level, the slower the file is opened, but the faster it will be processed when opened.

Graphics processor Settings

Here is to use the graphics allocation part of the display, Operation tasks, require users to have a separate video card, you can choose the "Use graphics processor acceleration operation" and "Use OpenCL" option. If the computer does not have a video card, it is recommended to remove all of the options, no longer consuming the core resources.

When memory is exhausted, the hard drive will carry the remaining work. The default scratch disk is the system tray, which will add to the already stretched partition capacity of the snow. It is recommended that the scratch disk and system disk separate, but the non-system version may cause performance degradation, so it is best to select a solid state drive.

Of course, Photoshop is worthy of optimization, there are a lot of places, only for photography adjustment, more optimization settings rely on everyone to explore and learn.
