Hi,

 

I have CEP panel to perform validations, export files with different high res setting cause some time photoshop hanging or taking time to do validations and exports. Is it possible to add multi threads/ cluster options(NodeJS) to increase the performance of CEP panel?

Hi there!

 

So the bad news is that multi-threading is not available in CEP.

 

The good news is that UXP runs much faster and is also available in Photohsop. Here's an InDesign UXP speed test: https://twitter.com/peprintenpa/status/1585077893377708032  Here's a UXP migration guide. The forum for talking about UXP is here.

 

Unfortunately it seems that UXP also does not support multi-threading at this time, because it behaves like a browser and "does not support Web workers".
