# Instantly Load/Open Photoshop
In today's gotta-have-it-fast world, waiting 5-10 seconds for Photoshop to load is so '90s. 🤣
Maybe it's no big deal, but hey, if we *could* make Photoshop load **instantly**, why not?
Hence the idea for **Faster-Photoshop**!
No need to wait on Photoshop to load any longer!
- **Faster-Photoshop** makes Photoshop open **instantly** when you press `Ctrl+Win+Shift+P`
- With Photoshop open, when you press the `Alt+F4` Photoshop is **instantly** closed
- Pressing `Ctrl+Win+Shift+P` again makes Photoshop open **instantly**
## How it works
#### Startup
- At log on, **Faster-Photoshop** launches `Photoshop.exe` in the background
- It waits a second and then hides the main window
- It suspends the processes `Photoshop.exe` and `dynamiclinkmanager.exe` which ensures no resources are in use
#### To Open Photoshop
- Press `Ctrl+Win+Shift+P`
#### To Close Photoshop
- While in Photoshop, press `Alt+F4`
#### To Actually End the Photoshop Processes
- While in Photoshop, go to File > Exit
#### To End the Faster-Photoshop Process
- Right-click on the Faster-Photoshop tray icon and click Exit
