My fairly recent MacBook boots up in less time than Photoshop takes to open. Photoshop is amazing and I use it daily, but my goodness does it creak.

- zozbot123 8y agoPhotoshop is 'slow to open' because it takes more time than your laptop uses to boot? That's nothing - have you never used GIMP?
- avian 8y agoOn my aging Lynnfield i5 and spinning-rust HDD, GIMP takes 2 seconds to open (I just timed it - from pressing return in a terminal, to all windows appearing on screen). That is faster than most websites load these days. And I should add that I have quite a lot of custom Python plug-ins installed. There's a lot of valid points that can be criticized about GIMP. Speed is not one of them.
- Amygaz 8y agoSame here. For small tasks I use GIMP because it’s a lot faster. Loading my VM is faster than loading any Adobe products.
