Info for Windows Photoshop users that may be of use... (particularly NT, 2000 and XP users)

2002-11-18 by Editor P.O.V. Image Service

Some time back, I noted, that you can alter the "priority" of PShop from 
the task manager OR you can
change it's default priority in the registry (I don't recommend the
latter unless you intend to lower it's priority).. You can also use 
command line options in your shortcut to load PShop with a higher priority.

I use the following (understanding that both my Windows and PShop 
directories are on my D: drive) :

Target:  D:\WINDOWS\system32\CMD.EXE /C "start /HIGH Photoshp.exe"

Start in: "D:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop 6.0"

where I use "/HIGH", there are other options:

/REALTIME
/HIGH
/ABOVENORMAL
/NORMAL
/BELOWNORMAL
/LOW


Unfortunately you cannot set CPU affinity via a command line option like 
that..  Some aftermarket add-ons that supposedly will do so seem not to 
like PhotoShop...
