Photoshop Plugins?


How many is too many?
I run a Intel Duo, Dual Core 2.5 gig processor, with a gig of ram on a Vista Home Premium. Can plugins slow down the loading or the program itself, if so how many should be used at any given time and can you disable them without uninstall?

Photoshop plugins may slow depending on what you installed but if too much, unless you have more than it can show in your screen. The culprit is fonts and typefaces, above 500 is considered critical because it will slow down the loading time in not just Photoshop, but almost to all programs with support for fonts.

The first loading is slow, but when you close and open it back there's no more bottleneck.

Here's the deal, your Photoshop or Illustrator will suffer the loading time not because of what you installed for plugins but how many fonts installed in your system. Above 1000 fonts/typeface may suffer your loading time.

The reason PS or AI loads longer is because of this. Check into your Fonts folder, how many fonts/typeface installed?

Regarding your plugins, so far the I need most is using Plugins Commander from www.thepluginsite.com/. A cool nifty tool but unfortunately, it only support up to XP.

The Light Edition is a freeware but the Pro Edition offers more.

No other has been found, yet just keep hoping that more support for Vista.

Yes plugins will slow down photoshops loading. Watch when PS is loading, the line of text that keeps changing will say loading plug in or something like that, the more you have the longer it takes to load them. Once the program is loaded, the plugins won't slow you down.
I've never heard of a recommend limit or a way to disable them other than uninstall.
If its taking longer to load than you want to wait you can remove some of them but its such a small part of the loading that you would have to have alot of them to make a noticeable difference.

Hatosan is right fonts make a BIG difference.
