Heh. If I could expand the RAM in my 2008 iMac to 8 or 16 Gig RAM I would. I regularly fill 4 Gig with just Lightroom and Photoshop on a single K20D RAW image. You do some adjustments in Lr, then edit in Ps and wham! the swapping starts. Granted I do more retouching than most here. Part of my normal workflow is quitting all open apps before starting into retouching of the next image. Lr seems to have a memory leak. I can only just imagine the "fun" you are facing with your 6x7 scans. BTW: have you read the article "A Perfunctory Guide to Converting Photographic Film to Digital Prints" by Ctein in The Online Photographer? Good stuff. -- -bmw -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
