Instantly Load/Open Photoshop\n\n![Example](https://github.com/asheroto/Faster-Photoshop/blob/master/Demo.gif?raw=true)\n\nIn today's gotta-have-it-fast world, waiting 5-10 seconds for Photoshop to load is so '90s. 🤣\n\nMaybe it's no big deal, but hey, if we *could* make Photoshop load **instantly**, why not?\n\nHence the idea for **Faster-Photoshop**!\n\nNo need to wait on Photoshop to load any longer!\n\n- **Faster-Photoshop** makes Photoshop open **instantly** when you press `Ctrl+Win+Shift+P`\n- With Photoshop open, when you press the `Alt+F4` Photoshop is **instantly** closed\n- Pressing `Ctrl+Win+Shift+P` again makes Photoshop open **instantly**\n\n## How it works\n\n#### Startup\n- At log on, **Faster-Photoshop** launches `Photoshop.exe` in the background\n- It waits a second and then hides the main window\n- It suspends the processes `Photoshop.exe` and `dynamiclinkmanager.exe` which ensures no resources are in use\n\n#### To Open Photoshop\n- Press `Ctrl+Win+Shift+P`\n\n#### To Close Photoshop\n- While in Photoshop, press `Alt+F4`\n\n#### To Actually End the Photoshop Processes\n- While in Photoshop, go to File \u003e Exit\n\n#### To End the Faster-Photoshop Process\n- Right-click on the Faster-Photoshop tray icon and click Exit\n\n## Installation\n\n### Compiled/EXE version (AutoHotkey install not required)\n- [Download the zip file](https://github.com/asheroto/Faster-Photoshop/releases/latest/download/Faster-Photoshop_Compiled.zip) from [Releases](https://github.com/asheroto/Faster-Photoshop/releases) and extract files\n- Leave `pssuspend.exe` and `pssuspend64.exe` in the same directory as `Faster-Photoshop.exe`\n- Start \u003e search for **Task Scheduler**, and open it\n\t- Go to **Action** \u003e **Create Task**\n\t- Set the name to **Faster-Photoshop**\n\t- Optional: *Check* **Run with highest privileges** to help hide the Photoshop splash screen faster when loading (Photoshop will still run as local user account)\n\t- Under the **Triggers** tab, create a new one **At log on** of **specific user** (your user account)\n\t- Under the **Actions** tab, create a new one to **Start Program** and specify the path to `Faster-Photoshop.exe`\n\t- Under the **Settings** tab, *uncheck* the option **Stop the task if it runs longer than**\n\t- Click **OK**\n\n### Source/AHK version (AutoHotkey install required)\n- Install [AutoHotkey](https://www.autohotkey.com/) if not already installed\n- [Download the zip file](https://github.com/asheroto/Faster-Photoshop/releases/latest/download/Faster-Photoshop.zip) from [Releases](https://github.com/asheroto/Faster-Photoshop/releases) and extract files\n- Leave `pssuspend.exe` and `pssuspend64.exe` in the same directory as `Faster-Photoshop.ahk`\n- Start \u003e search for **Task Scheduler**, and open it\n\t- Go to **Action** \u003e **Create Task**\n\t- Set the name to **Faster-Photoshop**\n\t- Optional: *Check* **Run with highest privileges** to help hide the Photoshop splash screen faster when loading (Photoshop will still run as local user account)\n\t- Under the **Triggers** tab, create a new one **At log on** of **specific user** (your user account)\n\t- Under the **Actions** tab, create a new one to **Start Program** and specify the path to `Faster-Photoshop.ahk`\n\t- Under the **Settings** tab, *uncheck* the option **Stop the task if it runs longer than**\n\t- Click
