ABSTRACT
This chapter goes beyond speeding up how you can work faster in Photoshop to how to make Photoshop work faster on your computer. The most obvious thing you can do to speed up the performance of Photoshop is to buy the latest computer. Unfortunately, that is an expensive game to play and not really a good solution. Computers improve performance with each new model. However, new operating systems may add new features at the expense of performance gains from the hardware. Fortunately, you do not have to go to extremes to make Photoshop run faster on the computer you already use.
