aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Our Photoshop benchmark is divided into two categories: Filter-based tests, and general performance tests. The breakdown below includes up to five categories:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Details &#8211; basic explanation of what is being tested<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Processing Type &#8211; what type of hardware or technology is primarily being used (CPU, GPU, AI)\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>For CPU\/GPU, this was determined by comparing results between an Intel Core i5 and Core i9 CPU, as well as an NVIDIA RTX __60 and RTX __80 GPU.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Note that for Photoshop, even if the task is technically GPU-accelerated, it is often still CPU bottlenecked. A more powerful GPU will not necessarily give higher performance results even for these tests, and our test flags are dependant on actual performance.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>AI features are marked according to what Adobe has publicly declared as using Adobe Sensei technology.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Source &#8211; either the file or history snapshot being used as a base for test<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Pre Test &#8211; information on any tasks required to set up for the main test. These steps are <strong>not<\/strong> timed<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Test Settings &#8211; settings used for the timed portion of the test<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Post Test &#8211; any tasks run after the test is completed. Most often, the creation of history states that are used later in the benchmark.

This helps to normalize the scores so that larger or small results are not unfairly weighted and allows for the benchmark to be more flexible and better able to handle large performance shifts due to either application optimizations or the launch of more powerful hardware.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-major-scores\">Major Scores<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>For the score calculations, we divide the results based on whether they are a &#8220;General&#8221; or &#8220;Filter&#8221; test. Since our scores are based on a &#8220;Higher is Better&#8221; method, each result is converted from a result in terms of time in seconds to complete (lower is better) to the performance rate (higher is better) by dividing 1 by the result (example: 1\/1.17 = .855).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A score is generated for each group by taking the geometric mean of all the test performance rates and applying a scoring coefficient to bring the scores across all our benchmarks roughly in line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>General Score = geomean((1\/General_Test_1), (1\/General_Test_2), ...) * 250\nFilter Score = geomean((1\/Filter_Test1), (1\/Filter_Test_2), ...) * 690<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-overall-score\">Overall Score<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>These major scores are then combined into the Overall Score using a geometric mean and multiplied by 100 to differentiate the Overall Score from the Major Scores. We do not weigh any of the major scores more than any of the others, so each contributes equally to the Overall Score.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>Overall Score = geomean (General Score, Filter Score) * 100<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>Assuming there is no thermal or other performance throttling occurring on the system, this method results in an Overall Score with a typical run-to-run variance of about 1-2%, and Major Scores with a variance of about 5%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:40px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\" id=\"h-benchmark-groups\">Benchmark Groups<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Results in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pugetsystems.com\/pugetbench\/results\/compare\/PugetBench%20for%20Photoshop\">Puget Bench public benchmark database<\/a> are grouped according to the benchmark and application version in order to maintain a balance of performance consistency and sample size. For example, if we are forced to change our benchmark to add, remove, or change a test, we do not want to group the results with those from a different benchmark version. More commonly, however, is that there is a change in the host application (Premiere Pro, Photoshop, etc.) that affects performance. This could be an update that improves GPU usage or changes how effects are processed, which can throw off comparisons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the same time, we try not to split results into too many small groups. Having more results in each group makes the data more useful\u2014it smooths out odd scores and gives you a better idea of how different hardware stacks up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Currently, for Photoshop, we have the following score groups:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Puget Bench for Photoshop 1.0.0-1.0.5<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>No changes between the supported versions of Photoshop caused significant changes to system performance for the tasks our benchmark examines.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:40px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\" id=\"h-benchmark-update-log\">Benchmark Update Log<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>This includes updates to the benchmark itself.

This was required for the result uploading, but also allows us much more flexibility for configurable settings and increases consistency between our various Adobe benchmarks.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>License validation moved from the CLI utility to the plugin itself.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Added ability to set the location for any disk-based tests (opening and saving).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Added tooltips for the various settings that can now be configured.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Status logs and configuration settings moved to &#8220;~Documents\\PugetBench\\Photoshop\\TIMESTAMP&#8221; since we cannot log directly to the plugin folder.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Removed &#8220;Progress&#8221; text layer since this information is now reported in the plugin UI.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Dropped photomerge tests. This was not actually used that often from what we understand, and removing it greatly reduces the download size and run times. Based on demand, we may add these tests back as an additional testing module for Photoshop.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Scoring has been adjusted based on the test changes. Due to this, the Overall Score will not be consistent with previous versions, although the General, Filter, and GPU scores should be the same.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>General bug fixes and stability improvements.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Version 0.8 BETA (Major Update)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Renamed benchmark to &#8220;PugetBench for Photoshop&#8221;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Switching from &#8220;year.mon.day&#8221; version format to a more typical version scheme so that we can more easily show when things like the scoring has changed enough to not be interchangeable with previous versions.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Dropping 8 bpc tests since there is little relative difference in performance between hardware at 8 and 16 bpc. Because of this, scores will not be 100% comparable to previous versions. They will be close enough for rough comparisons (since we aren&#8217;t changing the tests themselves), but not completely accurate.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Verified support for Photoshop 2020<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Added motherboard and RAM speed (Windows only) to the results page<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Added a &#8220;Progress&#8221; text layer that updates automatically so you can visually see how far along the benchmark is.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>There is now a &#8220;Benchmark Results&#8221; screen that comes up at the end of the benchmark that displays a bunch of useful information including: benchmark version, cores, results for each individual test, and system information like CPU, RAM, OS, GPU, and Photoshop version<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The benchmark now also makes a jpg of the &#8220;Benchmark Results&#8221; screen for easy sharing<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Removed .csv log file support in the free edition (log files will be a feature in the commercial use version)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Removed &#8220;start&#8221; .exe applications (automation will be a feature in the commercial use version)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>More code to ensure consistency between benchmark runs (setting the selected tool, FG\/BG color, etc.)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Miscellaneous bug fixes and improvements<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Version 18.10.0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Updated to support Photoshop CC 2019<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Added Extended mode which adds testing in 16 Bits\/Channel mode<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Added Applescript applications to make running on MacOS easier<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Version 18.4.0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>First release<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:40px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\" id=\"h-legacy-benchmark-versions\">Legacy Benchmark Versions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Modern versions of our Photoshop benchmark are available via the Puget Bench for Creators application.
