Photoshop configuration tips to help you achieve twice the result with half the effort.

Although you may already be familiar with every aspect of Photoshop, to fully unleash its potential, it is essential to master some practical techniques. Today, we will introduce how to adapt the software to your usage preferences through various settings in Photoshop, such as preferences, customizations, and various miscellaneous options.

Photoshop "Preferences" Settings

1. In "Edit > Preferences > File Handling [Ctrl+K, Ctrl+2]," you can set the number of recently opened files displayed in the "File > Recently Opened Files" submenu. Photoshop secretly keeps track of up to 30 recent files, but it does not care about the number you specify; it only shows the entries you have designated. In fact, you can increase the number of recent files displayed, making it easier for you to quickly review them.

2. Photoshop requires a scratch disk that is at least three to five times larger than the size of the largest image you plan to process—regardless of how much memory you actually have.

For example, if you intend to work on an image that is 5MB in size, you will need at least 15MB to 25MB of available hard drive space and memory.
