Newer Photoshop version draining battery, high wattage usage - any tips?
Asus with Win 10 Pro, 16 Gig RAM, intel 7 7700HQ CPU -
I used a CS3 version pretty much forever on my laptop, and had just (finally!) switched to the newest version. The power requirements are ridiculous - with CS3, my external laptop battery lasted 6-8 hours, and if I use the current version, this drops to about 3 hours if I'm lucky. Also, out of 2 batteries I have, the 130W holds up, but the 100W is unable to supply enough power. Never had such problem before, even when I'm editing high quality videos (non-Adobe software).
I had to switch back to using CS3 whenever laptop is not plugged in. Any tips on settings or turning off any of the huge amount of support processes I don't need that would bring the power usage under control? Thanks!
