As a busy designer, we have been pursuing efficient and agile design tasks, so how do we improve the efficiency of the UI design? This article will be from the software, habits, skills and other three aspects to illustrate the author of some of the summary of the experience.

Software articles

工欲善其事, its prerequisite. UI design to be more efficient, shortcut is from the most commonly used Photoshop (hereinafter referred to as PS) software starting.

PS software update quickly, but out of the pursuit of the stability of the version, the author does not have a new version of the habit of updating immediately. The emergence of PS cc version, but changed the author's view. With good PS CC, will be in the design of the efficiency of a significant increase.

With multiple shapes and path selections provided with Photoshop cc, you can select multiple paths, shapes, and vector masks at the same time, and do more with no more than a few mouse clicks.

2. Simply set Photoshop CC

Having said so many good things, I also talk about problems. In the process of using PS cc, the author often encounters the problem of suspended animation, flash-back and collapse. The main reason for these problems is that most users are currently using a mechanical hard drive, and from the PS CS6 began to add a new feature in the background storage, the advantage of this feature is timed to your PSD file to save, But this function in the design of the time does not take into account the majority of users are currently using a 7200-speed mechanical hard drive. We usually do design draft is likely to open more than dozens of PSD files at the same time, if the current operation of the 10 PSD files are stored at the same time, and just we are also in the PS operation, the emergence of suspended animation, Flash back, collapse of the probability is very large.

So in order to use more stable, you can use PS cc before using the following settings, turn off the background storage function.
