The reduced management costs you get with OS authentication are admittedly appealing, but not particularly secure. Windows client names can easily be spoofed, so there's no real client authentication. It's more secure when the connection to the database is local or from a UNIX client.

Get a quick preview of a large file—open a composite version (CS2/CS3/CS4/CS5)

Isn’t it a pain when you have to open a big, multi-layered file just to take a quick look at it? For example, you may need to sample a color from a multi-layered high-resolution TIF or PSD file, but don’t want to wait for the 100MB file to render onscreen. Whenever you need to take a quick peek at a file but don’t need to edit the layers—and don’t intend to save over the file—open a composite of the file instead and skip the wait.
