How to run PugetBench for Photoshop

The Adobe Creative Cloud has a number of different benchmarks that you can use to test out your PC. It can take a while to get up and running with some of them. One of them is very easy to use.

The speed at which your computer can perform various tasks is measured by the PugetBench. The only thing required to set up the benchmark is a quick plug-in.

This benchmark is not compatible with the native version of the software.

• In the Creative Cloud Desktop app, go to Stock and Marketplace > Plugins.
• Search for PugetBench for Photoshop and click Install. Make sure you close Photoshop before installing the plug-in.
• Once the plug-in is installed, open Photoshop.
• Go to Window > Extensions > PugetBench for Photoshop. Enter your license code (if you have one) in the window that pops up, and configure any other settings you’d like.
• Click Run Benchmark.

From here, it will be taken by PugetBench. Don't move the mouse while it's running.

You will see your results in the PugetBench window once the benchmark is finished. Unless you have a paid version, they'll be uploaded to the public database. You can compare your results to those that other PCs have received. Each system has an overall score and a specific score for each task.
