many people may know the first two points, but most people don't know the third point. Let's focus on it. Except for the second point, other methods are also applicable to all Adobe series software.
1. Installation location of PS software
This method is suitable for all large-scale software. Because my computer has changed the SSD, so my experience is like this.
1. If your computer's system disk (disk C) is a solid-state hard disk, and there is more than half of the storage space, and other disks are not solid-state hard disks, I suggest that you use the default location and install the PS software on disk C.. Because of the fast operation speed of solid-state disk, PS operation at complex or large points needs fast operation speed to avoid jamming.
if there is not much storage space on disk c, you can consider transferring other software that does not require high computing speed to other disks to make room, and then installing PS software on disk C ..
2. If the system disk (drive C) and other disks of your computer are solid-state hard disks or mechanical hard disks, I suggest that PS software and other non-system software be installed on drive D (or other disks). This will make the system disk have more space for calculation and reduce the jam.
second, software preference setting
use the shortcut key Ctrl+K or execute the "edit → preference" command to enter the software setting interface.
1. in the "general" tab interface, uncheck the option of "automatically displaying home screen", check the option of "using old version of" new document "interface" and check the option of "using old version of free transformation", which is more in line with most people's usage habits.
in the workspace tab interface, uncheck "automatically collapse icon panel" and "automatically show hidden panel".
in the tools tab interface, uncheck enable double-click translation and uncheck zoom with animation.
note: the old software may not have some settings.
2. in the "performance" tab interface, in the "memory usage" option, let Photoshop use more memory space, which can be selected within the ideal range or beyond this range. However, we should also consider the memory of the computer itself. If PS software has a lot of memory, we should try to reduce the use of other large-scale software at the same time when using it.
in the "performance" tab interface, in the "graphics processor settings" option, check "Use graphics processor", and then click "Advanced Settings" to open a dialog box, select "Advanced" in the "Drawing Mode" drop-down list, and check the following three options (see the figure below).
note: the "use graphics processor" option on some computers may be grayed out and cannot be checked.
this situation may be that the computer graphics card itself does not support it, so there is no way; It may also be caused by a problem with the graphics card driver. You can try to update the driver or change the driver version (I have encountered it, and updating the driver has solved it, but it is no less trouble. My experience is to download the driver from the official website and don't use software like "Driver Master").
3. in the "scratch disk" tab interface, change the scratch location to a hard disk other than the system disk (disk c), but since it is scratch, it has little impact on the running speed. Of course, if you think it is not safe to save only one disk, you can also check multiple disks at the same time, so that unsaved files will be temporarily stored under multiple disks.
4. in the "plug-ins" tab interface, uncheck "allow extensions to connect to the Internet", which is really useless.
5. in the "3D" tab interface, let Photoshop use more memory space. However, the 3D function is generally not used, so you can leave it alone.
note: older versions of the software may not have these settings.
3. Software preference settings
Use the Windows+I shortcut key to open the search interface of Windows Settings, or directly open the setting interface, search for Graphic Settings, select Classic Applications, and then click Browse to select Photoshop software.
note: this function requires the computer to support the "use graphics processor" function, that is, the "use graphics processor" option can be checked in the preferences.
fourth, uninstall Adobe Creative Cloud
since the CC version, Photoshop software has been eating memory very much, which is one of the reasons for the jam. Installing Photoshop CC will automatically install the Adobe Creative Cloud program, which does not help the use of cracked PS, and consumes memory, so it should be uninstalled.
uninstall method: See how to uninstall the Creative Cloud program after installing Photoshop in this article.
note: if the green version of the software is installed, this program may not be installed, let alone uninstalled.
5. reinstall the system
if your computer has not been reinstalled for several years, and it becomes more and more stuck, you can consider reinstalling the system.
you can make a u-boot disk when you go to official website, Microsoft. It is very simple. After installation, you can spend money to activate the original serial number, or you can use the activation tool to activate the reverse version. There is no difference in the experience.
The reinstallation system is only effective if you format the C drive and then install it. This will not affect other inventory files, and you don't need to copy them and then import them back, so it's no trouble at all if you can. I have reinstalled them many times.
if you can't reinstall it yourself, you can find a repair shop and spend 2 yuan to install it, and you can also dust the computer.
normal reinstallation of the system will not affect the files stored on the non-system disk, but it is recommended to back them up, because if the partition is broken, it may need to be fully formatted.
VI. Transforming the computer
This is the ultimate solution. Don't say it's not a method. I did it myself, and it worked, hahaha.
if your computer is not particularly old, and you are too cash-strapped to get a new one, try this method, which is very cost-effective. That's what I did. Solid state drives and memory chips were added. The old computer in 213, after spending 3 pieces of simple transformation, let it fight for another three years. It is still worthwhile to spend this little money.
1. Replace or add SSD
Old computers are almost all mechanical hard disks. If you replace them, you need to remove the original hard disk, so you need to buy a SSD with a large memory, which is a little expensive, and it is not suitable to guide files.
if your computer has an optical drive, it is recommended to remove the optical drive and replace it with a solid state drive. Now the CD-ROM drive is really useless. If you want to use a CD, you can find a desktop to copy it. If you install it, it will be enough to buy a 12G one. A treasure costs two or three hundred yuan. Pay attention to confirm the computer model with the merchant, and the position of the optical drive must be able to fit in. You can install it yourself without looking for a repair shop.
suggestion: install the SSD to the mechanical hard disk that comes with the computer, and then install the mechanical hard disk to the optical drive, so as to maximize the performance of the SSD. After installation, reinstall the system and install the system into the solid-state hard disk. In this case, it is not necessary to back up the files in the mechanical hard disk.
2. Add a memory module
Right-click this pc and select Properties to see the memory size. If your computer is a desktop with 4G memory, it is really a little small. If the card is too big, you can add a 4G memory stick, and most computers have additional interfaces. It's only 7 to 8 yuan to buy one on a treasure, and it's convenient to install memory chips without reinstalling the system.

follow me and trust me privately, and send the word "software" to get Photoshop software packages, which are available in various versions, as well as a full set of video tutorial practice materials and other resources.
