Adobe Photoshop CC Startup

We measure the time for Photoshop CC to start, load a 50 megapixel photo, close the image, then quit the application. (HDD reference score: 28.4 s)

Adobe Photoshop CC Editing

Heavy Photoshop use can result in a large number of disk accesses while the scratch file is processed. In this test, we measure the time it takes Photoshop CC to open ten 50 megapixel images at the same time and, once done, process each image, one by one. The operations performed on each image are crop, move, auto levels, resize, and save for the web. (HDD reference score: 139.1 s)

Adobe Premiere Pro Media Import

Importing large media files into Premiere Pro takes quite a while, because the media cache is generated during the import, and audio waveforms are calculated for peak detection (conforming). In this test, we measure the time it takes to fully import forty Full HD clips (6.5 GB). (HDD reference score: 50.1 s)
