The Preferences menu option includes ten options for Photoshop and one for Camera Raw. All the Photoshop-specific preferences are accessed through different panes in the main Preferences dialog box. Although you can work with the default settings, changing some of these can make your computer run more efficiently or make working with your projects easier. For example, by default, Photoshop is set to use more than half of the available RAM. You can lower this setting to fit the amount of RAM installed in the computer and the number of applications you run at the same time. You can change the default colors for the guides and grid when they are similar to those in your image. Designating an additional plug-ins folder keeps third-party items separate from those included with Photoshop. You can set a separate scratch disk to speed up your work on large files and set Photoshop to automatically launch Bridge.
