Scratch Disk?

Beitrag von Wayland »

Is it possible to specify a scratch disk for Photoline to improve it's performance when handling large documents?

I'm running 8Gb of RAM but have a 32Gb Solid State Drive sitting idle which was fitted just for this purpose when using Photoshop.

PhotoLine uses memory from the operating system only.
So try to make Windows/Mac OS use your SSD.

Photoshop used to use much more ram than Photoline. You could check the taskmanager first and see if the ram is really exhausted, 32 gb can carry you really far!

Thanks for that guys, I'll look into giving Windows a bit more room on the Ready Boost allocation.

When you are working with 20 meg. images that have a lot of layers in them it's not surprising things slow down a bit even running 8 gig.
