Photoshop SpeedUp Editor's Review

Adobe Photoshop might be the most popular photo-editor out there, but its load times can be excessive. That’s why Photoshop Speedup is designed to drastically cut down the amount of data Photoshop needs to load every time it’s opened. By giving the user the option of disabling unnecessary plug-ins, the start-up process can be streamlined and load times can be cut back to a minimum. This makes it an essential choice for those with older or slower machines.

For those who don’t have the technical knowledge: you’re out of luck. Photoshop Speedup might let you choose which bits of Photoshop you want to load, but it does nothing to help you with your decision. Without an expert hand, this software can prove buggy, confusing and can even go on to break Photoshop itself. There’s not even a help guide or any online support to provide technical advice. For those in the know, this is a great and useful tool, if a bit ugly. For casual users, give it a miss.

Pro's: Cuts back on load times, compatible from 3.0 to CS5.

Con's: Low budget UI, no help support, correct use requires technical knowledge.

Conclusion: For anyone with a strong technical knowledge of Photoshop, this software is a great tool that can help cut back on loading times.
