Right now I'm using a Mac G5 with dual 1.8hz PowerPC with 2GB RAM. My typical files are 400 - 500mb and can have as many as 500-600 layers. Pixel dimension is 5400 x 3150 pixels and after opening my lower left shows 64.9m/1.42 G. It takes a long time to open one of these files- about 3-4 minutes and even longer to save, about 4-5 minutes. Also while the file is open zooming and panning can be choppy and slow, with the monitor lagging behind with the refresh. I can even hear the hard drive going when zooming sometimes. Question is how can I speed up the opening, zooming, saving? I have on order a new Mac Pro 2.93 quad core with 16gb RAM. What else should i put into this to speed everything up? Thanks!
QUOTE Thanks
