Mac Performance Guide on a month with his new Mac Pro
Now he is mostly using Photoshop and not video programs, but isn’t seeing too many speed increases, as most software can’t use many cores and or don’t have GPU acceleration for the new MacPros.

Adobe releases Adobe Generator for Photoshop CC
Adobe has released Adobe Generator for Photoshop CC. Generator helps you create image assets in real time out of a single photoshop document that are updated in real time by just adding a file extension to the name of a layer or layer group in photoshop! Very cool!
Extensis Suitcase Fusion 5 crashing Photoshop CC
Now I sweat by Extensis Suitcase Fusion as a great font management tool and love it’s auto font activation (though I do wish they would make a plug in for After Effects), but right now Extensis Suitcase Fusion 5’s autoactivation plug in is crashing Photoshop CC so it won’t launch.
Here is my crash log which I am posting for Extensis to see, and hopefully fix the issue.
Adobe Configurator 4 Preview now Available
Adobe has updated Adobe Configurator 4, and it is available from Adobe Labs. It is a preview, but lets you make custom panels for Indesign and Photoshop! Very very cool.
Now if only you could sync them through Creative Cloud so you could always have your custom panels with you!
Adobe Photoshop CC removes the Additional Plug-Ins Folder
I couldn’t locate the option in Photoshop, so I started searching and found the answer on one of Adobe’s Blogs.
Note: we removed the option in preferences to point to a “Additional Plug-Ins Folder” in Photoshop CC as it caused more problems than it solved.
Now here is something I completely don’t agree with as this folder made it so much easier to upgrade versions, as you could keep your 3rd party plug ins in a separate folder, and just point the new version at them. SO MUCH EASIER THAN HAVING TO GO THROUGH YOUR PLUG INS FOLDER EVER UPGRADE AND MIGRATE STUFF! Annoying adobe, very annoying!
Adobe Creative Cloud doesn’t work for me at all!
In fact, the only application in the entire suite that will launch is Bridge CC. Every single app has a different problem when it launches, but none of them will launch.
Premiere Pro has dynamiclinkmanager quit again and again and again, so often that I can’t do anything until I can manage to force quit Premiere.
Photoshop launches quickly, but then sends me to a broken web site, and freezes and starts the dynamiclinkmanager quitting.
After Effects says it can’t change the name of some file and quits!
I have restarted, fixed permissions, logged in and out of Creative Cloud, run Diskwarrior and Tech Tool Pro, and no joy.
And with my 72 hour work week, I don’t have time to call Adobe right now and talk to their incomprehensible Indian Tech Support.
I run a MacPro 4,1 running the latest OS 10.8.4, and CS6 runs just fine. Did they even test CC? WTF! Why am I am a member of Creative Cloud? They better fix this fast!
