The first thing you should do is click the “More options” button which reveals some advanced settings. Go to Edit > Color Settings (Ctrl+Shift+K).
These settings establish the way Photoshop treats your images so you should be careful and set it up properly. This is not essential for working with Photoshop but it sure makes navigation and editing smoother and more eye-candy.Ĭolor settings is a very important thing to set up right because your entire workflow is affected by it.

That is, if the option is grayed out you probably don’t have a good enough graphic card or your drivers are missing or they are old in which case you should update your GPU drivers. You should definitely check “Enable OpenGL Drawing” if your graphic card allows it. A Solid State Drive would be great, but a defragmented hard-disk with 20+ Gigabytes will be enough for most of your tasks. So you should select as primary scratch disk a fast, large hard-drive (other than the one the operating system is installed). As you continue to edit your images the scratch file size increases. But what is a scratch file? Well, a scratch file is usually a file on your hard-disk where Photoshop stores history states (remember them from above?), cache levels and other information about your working documents. Scratch disks are disks where your scratch files are stored. 500 is a fairly right amount but be careful of maxing it out (1000) because it will require more RAM and it will increase your scratch file size (we will get to that next). This option is very important because it determines how many history states you have available when editing a file (that is how many ctrl+Z or steps back you can go).
The only thing you should change is “History States”. This is enough for my system to do multitasking and not choke if I have other apps open simultaneously. This depends on your available RAM but I usually let Photoshop use 70% of total available memory.
