I wonder if you good set up a standardized benchmark that you could crowdsource. The best would be a set of files that could be downloaded and a plug-in. One of the things that I find takes the most time is when I run auto-tone on a group of files, then do the first change to the exposure. I am using smart previews. To me the ideal plug-in / script would: Make sure that it is in the specific test catalog make sure the target directory is empty possibly make sure the test catalog is empty note start time Import a standard set of files note time create smart previews note time auto tone note time Decrease highlights by one large click note time create 1:1 previews note time export full resolution jpegs note time A couple of things that would affect this: The size of the catalog can dramatically affect import times as it checks for existing photos it’s not linear, possibly order n^2 > > Would that be a good approach? > > Or better tests? > > Tanks in advance, greetz, Jos > > -- > PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List > PDML@pdml.net > http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net > to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow > the directions. > -- Larry Colen l...@red4est.com -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
