Faster access while crossing to other applications

Switching from Photoshop to another application which designers always experience, but if there is data on the clipboard (copied and stored in computer memory), Photoshop can “export” it to the system clipboard for pasting purposes into the other application. However, since Photoshop files may be extremely large, then it possibility may cause a delay or crashed the system while it “exporting" the data.

If you find yourself waiting more often than you actually use the data on the clipboard, you can inform or telling Photoshop not to export the data on the clipboard, thus ensuring speedier crossovers. To turn off this particular option for exporting clipboard data (which has been set as default in Photoshop Preferences), just go to Preferences >> General and deselect the checkbox for “Export Clipboard.” Be remember, regardless of whether this option is selected, it has no effect on Photoshop’s performance while you are working inside Photoshop; only when you have a large amount of data on the clipboard, have forgotten to purge it (Edit>Purge>Clipboard), and then try to exit Photoshop will you notice the difference. To purge data on the clipboard, go to Edit>Purge and select Clipboard from the submenu.
