Photoshop CS6 is truly an amazing application, and adobe have made some fantastic enhancements. The only drawback I found upgrading from CS3 to CS6 was the speed differential between the two applications.

Adjusting The memory use allocated to Photoshop

If you allocate Photoshop to use more of the ram, this will speed up Photoshop. When you allocate ram don’t allocate too much ram to Photoshop, because it will decrease speed of other programs which you may have running alongside Photoshop.

Closing any large files in Photoshop

Always close large files which you may have open in Photoshop, which you may not be using. Having to many large files open, and running will significantly decrease the speed.

Turning off features

Turning off unnecessary features in Photoshop CS6 will significantly increase the speed, turning offer the following options. Turn off animated zoom, and turning off image previews.

Changing cache in Photoshop

What i found helped increased the most was changing the levels in Photoshop. C hanging the cache from to 4 to 1 was a huge help.

Change drawing mode
