Hi, David Neary [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Photoshop handles large images better than GIMP. That's a known fact and it's not trivial to improve. How, exactly? I've heard this too, but I have no clear idea how they do so - do they have a similar caching system, and just make better decisions about what to cache and when? Or do they use OS specific features to reduce read times for caching operations? AFAIK they don't load the full image into memory. If you open a large image, only the preview is loaded and if you zoom in, then only the necessary parts are pulled into memory. Of course this doesn't work with all file formats.

I have a feeling to do this right it would have to be a fairly sophisticated GEGL node. Why aren't I on gegl-developer again? :) Rockwalrus ___ Gimp-developer mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer
