Thanks Colin. Really interesting. The sort of thing no-one ever tells you. Love the Home Screen and File handling tips. I have been moving an image with the move tool for some time but did not realise it was the better way.

Great tutorial, Colin! I'm a keyboard shortcut kind of guy, but I hadn't considered what using the Ctrl+C then Ctrl+V was doing to my clipboard size. I will definitly start using the method you suggested. Thanks.

Thank you Colin for all the great tips. Love #5.

Didn't know about the scratch discs. Have it set up now to give preference to a spare 1TB SSD that I wasn't otherwise using. Learned a couple of other things as well. Thanks.

Thank you... you explained areas I was mostly not aware of... The File handling change is probably my favorite...

Thank you for the tips. You really save me a lots of stress, most especially the the Photoshop resetting preferences. More Grace Sir

I think the copy/paste was my favorite. Also resetting preferences. TY

Excellent video Colin. Thank you so much. This video is soooo helpful. The tip on disable the home screen was very helpful.

Thanks, Colin. The home screen tips were great!

Hey great video! Most hard-core users probably already know most of these, but for us casual users (I use Lightroom for 95% of my editing) it was a real benefit! I LOVE the ability to use multiple/alternative scratch disks... That might be my favorite tip. Also, the home screen was really bugging me so I'm glad I nixed that. Thanks!

Great tips, Colin. I knew some of them, but had a couple eureka moments. I hadn't really given much thought to the copy-paste part, but it makes perfect sense. I like just grabbing the image, or layer, and just dragging it into the other document. It's a lot faster. 👍 Thanks for all the great tutorials!

Exactly what I need right now. I didn’t know any of these tips. Thank you.

Thank you for all your help you give the public with your fantastic tutorials. I have had a problem with raw when editing images. Looks like a jigsaw puzzle. Am going to try out no 5 and see if that helps.

The best tutorial out there. No stupid music in the background and understandable. Thank you for taking the time to share these valuable tips.

Most of the stuff you were talking in this video is very useful to me. I spend lots of time on photoshop and its great to learn new things about how to run it in best way possible. I actually will go today to buy an external ssd drive for scratch disc. Cheerio.

I followed from start to finish, Colin. What a difference this has made. Thank you so much, you are a star.

Knew most of them, but it was very handy having the reminder about how to save my settings, that way a backup can be made if things go Weird! Nice one Colin!

Excellent information as usual. I love all your presentations and enjoy all your tutorials. Your fun! Best today is how to reset preferences in the new ps

This was great! Thank you! My favorite was learning about the scratch disk :)

Great Video, very detailed and good sound thank you so much. Please I will like to know how you make the long video size very small to about 17MB without losing quality

Thanks Colin. The "scratch disks" tip is my favorite.

Thanks for the advices! ♥️

Thanks, Colin! All tips are great, speacialy the available RAM memory percentage, The best!

Dude, you helped me a lot! THANK YOU SO MUCH!

worked like a charm.. thank youuuuuuuuuuu !!

You are the absolute best! Thank you!

This was a GREAT tutorial! With the new Photoshop CC update, I lost the ability to process 400 images at once, PS crashed on image number 150 consistently and I had to restart. So, what fixed that? Your tip on disabling the gpu. When I did that, I'm back to loading and working with 400 images at a time. BUT, I did not figure out what graphics processor setting was the culprit, so I'll be working on that later. That single tip saved me hours today. What's the hottest running graphics card for windows 10 that is well matched to Adobe CC Suite? Nvidia Quadro K4000 is what I'm currently running. Thanks!

PH resetting Preferences and Drag and Drop = my preferences! Awesome! Thank you 🙏

In Windows, Preferences is under the Edit Menu. I changed my memory setting to 75%, I also use and have other programs running as well. These are all good tips.

Awesome Tips, Thank you Sir

Nice helpful, thanks, I like your presenting more than your tips... thanks

The final tip helped me! I lost a couple of buttons in photoshop, the history button, to show what steps I had just done, and I lost a tool on the left because I right clicked on it, opening other options and couldn’t remember where it was. So I used the reset, and , boom, it’s all back to normal. Thank you.

Wow great stuff man, I have been using photoshop for. 15 plus years n I didnt know some of this thank you!

THIS VIDEO JUST SAVED MY LIFE AND STOPPED ME FROM HAVING TO BUY A NEW LAPTOP. So grateful!!! This is insane, I have been struggling for two years as a young design freelancer with my laptop's horrifically slow and laggy performance. I was about to resignedly start looking for new laptops, didn't want to bite the financial cost, but decided to check youtube to see if there were any possible solutions...even to make my life with the program a little more bearable while I waited on the new laptop order. But now, after implementing these tips, Photoshop is literally BUTTERY smooth like you said. My computer feels like an entire different machine. And the fixes were so simple too! You are the man!!! You just saved me time, money, sooo much frustration - thank you so much for your expertise and easy tips. I'm freaking out right now honestly!! I never comment on things, either. But I just had to say a huge thank you. THANK YOU 😁🎉

At TS 7:43 you talk about resetting preferences, will you lose actions you may have created? Also I created a PSD for postcards, have many saved layers to click on or off depending on the specific card size and fonts, one template for many types of cards in different groups. Would I lose those layers if I reset the preferences? Thanks for sharing your videos are very informative and helpful.

Hello Colin Thank you for great the information! I need your help to decide which configuration I have to go with new Mac machine probably will go to the iMacPro I use a medium format camera which is phase one IQ150. And i work on 16bit in photoshop so my files are so big and can reach 9GB . My problem is that when opening the file or saving it it’s taking too much time, 9 minutes for saving , so i want to know which component of the computer affect the speed of especially saving the image. Is it the ram, cpu, the speed of the SSD, GPU or all of them? Your reply is highly appreciated. Thank you

Hi Colin, thanks for this. Did notice that in latest release of PS that some info was no longer valid/changed: Tip1 Disable Home screen now replaced with an "Auto Show Home Screen". Tip 6 Legacy Compositing has been removed and is no longer available

Great tips.. I wonder though if you reset Photoshop will you lose all your third party plug-ins like Topaz and etc. And I think it goes back to default brushes and etc. So you might need to save them first. right?

hello this clearing the preferences feature principal would work in lightroom & adobe after effect also

Thank you. Photoshop 2021 has not become faster than any predecessor, and some of the fields in Preferences are changed or missing relative to your 2019 (Mac) version. For example in Preferences->General, the option "Disable the Home Screen" has been replaced with "Auto show the Home Screen" and it actually works the same way when untagged. Also under ->Performance, the Legacy Compositing option has been removed and apparently replaced. The head line is now - Description. The ->Scratch Disk feature to prioritize the scratch disks - I didn't know about - so that one was my favorite. Holding down Shift-Alt-Ctrl on my PC doesn't give me the option to Delete the Adobe Photoshop Settings File as shown in your example. In stead I get the (new installation) dialog "Do you allow this app to make changes on your device" and then when confirmed I get the (Shift at start) option to discard third party plug-ins. I guess this sequence works the same way.

When you reset the preference files does that also delete all my third party plugins,brushes, swatches,and styles too ive collected over the years ??

Question: If I choose my solid state drive as the one to run Ps, does that mean if I open a Ps file from another drive, it will use the RAM from the solid state to run it, even if not saved there? My solid state got too full, I had to move many Ps files, but pretty cool if once brought into Ps, the file is run using the SS drive. Oh, and I tried the relaunch, did not work.

Whatever drive you set as your primary Scratch disk is the one Photoshop will use, regardless of where the image is stored.

hey great tips. the problem is much bigger on my system. i use photoshop cs 5 and is lighting fast. my files are around 50 to 100 mb with quite a heavy layers. but still loading and saving them is super fast in cs 5. in cc 2019 its f###### s###. what the hell is going on all the tips you talked about does't solve this file load and saving. cs 5 loads my files in 3 to 5 sec. cc 2019 take 1 to 1.5 min. this is shocking. i use windows 7 still so i went for cc 2019, its version 20.0.7. any advice would be great sir:) . i'm sticking to cs 5 at the moment...

thanks for the idea! my p.s cs 6 extended

I open a new doc in cs6. I click on elliptical marquee when I draw it on the doc it starts displaying a progress bar! Which takes a few seconds to load and execute the action. Same thing happens when I try to use paint. As soon as I click on the paint tool to fill I get the progress bar and it lasts a little longer to fill. What is wrong here. I have tried all the usual solutions offered online to fix slow cs6 but this remains unchanged.

I liked the scratch disk tip the best but all of them were good tips.

Whats the DIFFERENCE between the old Photoshop Compositing engine vs. the new one? Why is each good? which is better in what situations? :) Thanks so much

It's just been updated to handle GPU better, and allow Adobe to develop new things in the future, but older hardware might not be compatible which is why you can use legacy.

If your photoshop doesn't restart, that it even begins to restart, but crashes, type into the win search in the start menu %temp%, then delete the adobe folder, which will allow PS to start properly.
