"Optimizing Photoshop for Peak Performance" with Adam Jerugim
The talk will focus on Photoshop performance best practices to help enable users to get the most out of Photoshop with their current hardware setup. In addition, there will be guidance provided for users that plan on buying new hardware or upgrading their existing Photoshop & Lightroom systems. Information will also be provided about tools you can use to optimize your specific workflow, GPUs, and running 64-bit applications.
Our speaker, Adam Jerugim, has been part of the Photoshop engineering team for the last 10 years and is mainly responsible for performance and hardware compatibility testing. In addition to being an avid photographer, he is also working to complete his MFA in Digital Arts and New Media at UC Santa Cruz.
We would like to acknowledge our "Photoshop Til You Drop" Sponsor, AMD. We thank them in advance for their support in providing beverages, snacks, and raffle items for our meeting.
Please RSVP by November 11. We look forward to a great turnout!
Thanks!!

I really wanted to be at this, but fell ill.
Is there a video or some kind of summary of the session available somewhere? I'm just about to build a new machine and I put it off so I could attend this meetup to get the inside scoop first. Any info would be ~much~ appreciated!

Great location and good info and it wasn't too long or short, enough to keep you interested in what the subject matter was...
The blog that was mentioned to reference all that was talked about is a nice touch too. Looking forward to the next one there!

bryanI could only stay for half of the lecture... so I was not able to pick his brain further with more questions. The material he covered was all available on the adobe site and http://macp...
, so nothing earth shattering was learned, but it was cool to see the adobe space.

Mary H+1 guestvery technical and quite useful but the speaker assumed knowledge of computer science and didn't explain preliminary concepts to those who were not familiar with them. Some handouts would have been useful.

Kirk BrooksUber-geek presentation. I followed about 90% of it and got a lot from it. This was clearly a poweruser presentation. The opportunity to interact with "Tech Support Tier 0" was very cool.

Teresa RobertsAdam spoke about a lot of things that I don't normally take care of nor know about and yet, at no time did I feel he was talking over my head. It all made sense and I can't wait to optimize my Mac for Photoshop!

Keith CohnExcellent info. He should determine how many are of sufficient expert level, to understand the rapidity and complexity which he presented the material, and adapt that to the enclosed slides one can download.
