    After testing on my company’s MacBook Air, MacBook Pro and Mac mini (running macOS 15), I observed varying degrees of change in GPU usage depending on the screen mode. I believe this is simply a matter of whether the difference in machine power affects performance or not.
    Given that this issue persists even on macOS 15, I would like Adobe to remove window shadows in Normal mode to reduce the load.

    By the way…
    If you need to run Illustrator and Photoshop at the same time, using Mission Control to display them on separate desktops can help reduce the load somewhat.
    However, it might be more appropriate for Apple to provide a fundamental solution.
    After all, even the editing interface of the standard Screenshot.app is driving up GPU usage.

    After launching Adobe software, try pressing the ‘F’ key to switch to the mode where the three-colour buttons disappear and the tools are displayed.

    Please make sure you’ve enabled the GPU settings, of course.

    I hope Adobe will notice this and fix it.

    (InDesign has the same problem, but as I can’t change the screen mode, there’s nothing I can do about it.)
