Bokeh is for people who use software with big needs. When your Mac is clogged with lots of extra processes, the amount of power it can give to any one program is lessened. Running an intensive process like a Photoshop filter or 3D render can be sped up with Bokeh.

Focusing on a running application with Bokeh suspends all other apps in the foreground. Some programs may seem like they would require very little of the CPU, but could actually be hogging more than their fair share. By suspending these apps with Bokeh, your Mac will be able to dedicate maximum power to your present task. Defocusing will resume your other apps right where they left off.

Saving time means saving money when it comes to getting things done. Having Bokeh by your side enables you to keep all the apps you need open at once, while still making sure your task at hand gets the oomph it requires.

Real world performance test

In our tests, Photoshop CS3 ran 12.9% faster when Bokeh was activated. This was determined with a commonly used Photoshop benchmarking test from www.retouchartists.com on a Macbook Pro Intel Core Duo.

And don't just take our word for it. Give Bokeh a try with your own workflow, our 10-day free trial will allow you to see if it's right for you.

Because Bokeh supports Applescript, you can quickly and easily integrate it with your own scripts. For example, slip in the focus command before your script starts a 3D render, and get the most out of what your Mac can muster.
