====== Problem and Solution ======

  * stop Photoshop adding new placed smart objects to library
    * problem: cclibrary is a feature, may slow you if you don't want to use that
    * solution: just uncheck add to library when the dialog pop up in your placement action
  * photoshop brush when painting, super laggy
    * solution: in brush tool, in top option panel, bring smooth option from 100% to 0, so auto smooth brush curve will not slow it down.
