Multiple cores are becoming more and more common in modern processors, with the latest Intel Core i7 processors sporting up to 8 cores. So what does this mean for Photoshop users? Well, for one, it means that Photoshop can take advantage of multiple cores to speed up certain tasks. For example, if you have a lot of layers active and you want to quickly select all of them, multiple cores can help speed up the process. Additionally, if you’re working on a large image with a lot of layers, using multiple cores can help reduce the time it takes to complete the task. So if you’re planning on using Photoshop to create a complex image or document, make sure your computer has at least 4 or 5 cores available. ..
