I know. I'll try to learn to shoot a little less. The reason I'm shooting this much is, that I use my camera at work some times. Image editing after the shooting takes too much of of my time... Jens Bladt mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://hjem.get2net.dk/bladt -Oprindelig meddelelse- Fra:

I have yet to experience any kind of annoying slowdown running PSCS. All operations seem virtually instantaneous. Scratch disk allocation is a big part of the equation. I have a 200 gig firewire drive that is almost empty as my first scratch disk. I have 1.5 gig of ram with 70% of it allocated

Before going digital, I had gotten to the point where my two major clients -- magazines and stock -- were insisting on digital files. So I had resorted to scanning medium format. That was both very expensive and very time consuming. Digital was the obvious solution. So, while one saves a few

Working on a Mac may have something to do with it, but it just occurred to me that file size may play a big part in the equation. Many of the files I'm working with are 120mb (4000ppi, 16bit color). When working with smaller file sizes (40mb BW for example, 11mb TIFFs from the Sony camera)

My *istD conversions come out at 144 meg, 26-bit, but I do most of the work in the RAW converter where they are much smaller. After conversion I generally do very little other than rotation and crop. Working on a Mac may have something to do with it, but it just occurred to me that file size

If you are a pro you just charge for post-production work. If you spend 2 hours shooting a job, then 6 hours at the computer, and only charge for 2 hours you are a fool and deserve to be paid poorly. Admittedly when faced with post production charges many editors say they just want to see the

Hi, If you feel up to it, try working with one of those 144mb files ... see how long it takes to call it up, make some adjustments, play around with a few layers. I'd be curious to know how much slower, if at all, the process is for you with larger files. Shel From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To:
