 +===== useful extention =====

 +    * AnimDessin2: This panel is designed for Photoshop CC 2014 to CC 2018+. It allows you to draw frame-by-image animations (cel-animation like)
 +    * AnimCouleur2: This panel is available for Photoshop CC 2014 to CC 2018+. It allows you to simplify the process of coloring frame-by-image drawing animations created with "AnimDessin2"

 +
 +====== 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.
