BIGGER Tiles in Photoshop CS2

Photoshop CS2 ships with a new plug-in installed, but it's not used until you say it should be. The plug-in is called 'Bigger Tiles.' The Bigger Tiles plug-in is installed in the Extensions folder, within the Adobe Photoshop Only Plug-Ins folder that lives in the Adobe Photoshop CS2 folder. To activate the plug-in, simply remove the '~' from the beginning of its name. This is actually a trick you can use to disable/enable any Photoshop plug-in (put a '~' at the beginning of the plug-in file name). WHAT DOES IT DO? The Bigger Tiles plug-in allows Photoshop to process image data in larger chunks. With the plug-in enabled, the overall time to complete many operations is reduced, especially on computers with lots of RAM (more than 1 GB). Bigger Tiles can also reduce the responsiveness of the application under some circumstances.
