The program gave users a choice to disable certain elements during the startup of Adobe Photoshop to speedup the startup of the image editor significantly. The greatest point of criticism at the time of the review was the incompability of the program with the latest Adobe Photoshop versions. The old version of Adobe Photoshop Speedup did work fine with Adobe Photoshop 3-8 but not the latest like Adobe Photoshop CS4.

The developers of the startup tweaker have now released an updated version of their software program. This version is – finally – compatible with all Adobe Photoshop versions from Adobe Photoshop 3 to Photoshop CS4.

The program interface on the other hand remained the same. Adobe Photoshop Speedup will scan the computer system for installed Photoshop installations and display disocvered one at the bottom of the interface.

The program offers four options to speed up and optimize Photoshop. It can limit the memory usage of the image editor, prevent that Adobe Presets, CMAP and Base are loaded and remove certain plugins from the list of available ones so that these are not loaded during startup.

Adobe Photoshop Speedup is available at the developer’s website. The portable software program is freeware and compatible with Microsoft Windows 7, Vista, 2000, XP, Windows Server 2003 and Windows Server 2008

This is one of the main reasons why computer users install and use alternative products which might not offer the full feature set but make up for that in speed and performance. The price of the products might play a role as well. Not everyone can or wants to change the product on the other hand. That’s where a product like Adobe Photoshop Speedup comes in handy.

The software program has been designed to speed up the start of Adobe Photoshop. It supports all Photoshop versions from Photoshop 3 to 8 and tries to identify the installed version automatically upon start. Adobe Photoshop Speedup is a portable software which means it can be run from any location. It asks the user to enter information about the installed Adobe Photoshop version manually if it cannot be located automatically.

Adobe Photoshop Speedup will display a basic interface afterwards that allows the user to remove items from the Adobe Photoshop startup including plugins, Cmap and Base and Photoshop Presets.

Specific plugins can be removed from the startup process which afterwards will usually be noticeably faster. The settings can also be restored at a later time in case some of the plugins or features should be loaded at startup again.
