It adds stabilizers, rulers, and scripting to your favorite art programs, including Photoshop, Illustrator, Flash, and many others. Here are a couple of things you can do to make sure that the file size doesn't create brush lag: Merge multiple layers together, or flatten often.Take control of your lines Lazy Nezumi Pro is a Windows app that helps you draw smooth, beautiful lines, with your mouse or pen tablet. And often, larger files equal a slower performance.
Performance PreferencesWhen updating your Photoshop or computer, adjusting your Photoshop Performance Preferences should be your first priority. Tailor your Photoshop work habits (read more: History, Caches & Performance-Friendly Work Habits)The faster the processor you’re using and the more random access memory (RAM) you have installed on your computer, the faster and smoother Photoshop will run.If upgrading your computer is not an option, read on to find out how you can help Photoshop run more efficiently. For the 2015 release of Illustrator CC, GPU Performance is available for both Mac OS and Windows.

Keep the number of History States as low as possible (20 is the default number of steps). Mac – 70-75% of the total available RAM Conversely, the 64-bit versions will take as much RAM as you can give.The best way to keep it under control is to optimize the Memory Usage settings via Edit > Preferences > Performance on Windows and Photoshop > Preferences > Performance on Apple computers. The 32-bit Photoshop version on both Windows and Mac are subject to certain limitations in the amount of RAM that the system will allow the program to utilize (roughly 1.7-3.2GB depending on the OS and PS version).

The result will slow down the entire computer – not good. Its memory behavior is identical to Photoshop CS6 (and CS5, CS4, etc.). If Photoshop is taking more than 20 seconds to load something is wrong with your system. Normal launch is under 7 seconds, and with an SSD it’s under 2 seconds.If the Memory Usage is set higher, the Operating System (OS) of your computer will start competing with Photoshop for the remainder of the RAM. Keep in mind that clearing History when Purging will delete all your current history states and you will not be able to undo your latest actions.Photoshop CC does not have increased memory usage over Photoshop CS6. It will eliminate the extra image data that is consuming your RAM.

Launch Terminal, found in Applications/Utilities and enter the command purge If you need to free up some RAM to speed up your computer performance you can force Mac OS X to clear out inactive memory. Purge command for Mac usersMac OS X has fairly good memory management but it’s not perfect, and sometimes RAM can be held unnecessarily in the “inactive” state despite the contents no longer being used. Try cleaning up or re-installing your plugins, utilities and fonts, some of them may be significantly slowing your PS. You can close other applications running in the background as well as images that you are not working on to increase efficiency.Photoshop allocates memory up to the limit you set in Memory Usage Preferences, then reuses that memory. It won’t release the memory until the OS needs it, or you exit Photoshop.If you are experiencing any troubles with your Photoshop CC performance it is possible that the issue is due to external factors such as corrupt fonts, third party plugins or utilities. It does little use to run Photoshop at a faster speed if everything else slows to a snail’s pace and you loose work to a system crash.Once your Memory Usage limit is set, check the efficiency status in either the Info Panel Efficiency readout, or in the bottom left corner of any of your open PSD files.If the value is below 100%, it indicates that if you allocate more RAM to Photoshop, the operations will perform faster.
Therefore, Photoshop is fastest when it can process all or most image information in RAM.A few valuable notes from Australian retoucher Gary Alan:Going a step further in gaining max efficiency in Photoshop, a lot is hinged on the configuration of the disks to avoid performance bottlenecks.Without saying the more RAM the better but additionally one wants 4 drives, preferably all SSD.#1 – A dedicated drive that PS is installed on, separate from your C: or the drive the OS starts from, 256 gig should be enough. Scratch disks work as the secondary memory resource.Having a lot of free space on Scratch Disks for Photoshop to utilize helps, but accessing information in RAM is still much faster than accessing information on a Scratch Disk. The Photoshop scratch disk is your internal hard drive and/or any plugged in external hard drives. When your system does not have enough RAM to perform an operation, this “virtual memory” is accessed. So purging History and Undo are only useful in limited circumstances.Hard drive space on your computer is used by Photoshop as temporary “swap” space, or virtual memory. However, those unused history states are automatically moved from RAM to scratch disk anyway as you work.
Can fill up if large amount of documents are open at once, getting a 128 or 256 gig will help.#4 – A storage drive to archive completed jobs, for which a standard HDD is good enough. This should be the primary scratch disk. On this drive #2 – A working drive where you save and open your PS documents while you are working on them, 128 gig should be enough#3 – A dedicated scratch disk that is kept absolutely clean, 64 gig should be enough.
