FAQ:What is the PhotoshopServer process?

 * PhotoshopServer is a Premiere component, and it's part of our Photoshop importer plugin. We've isolated the psd loading code into a separate process in order to reduce memory fragmentation. So it's quite normal to see it sitting idle, as it's only active when using psds, and it's only loaded when required.

 * OSX's activity monitor is a little misleading. It's meant to be there, and it's not being used. You will only see activity out of PhotoshopServer when importing PSD files into Premiere.
