Hey Photoshop peeps, a little advice... I'm working with some big TIFF files (~1GB) for large-scale hi-res printing (60" x 90", 10718 x 14451), and my system is lagging hard like never before (Retina MacBook Pro 2012 2.6GHz i7 /8 GB RAM/ 512GB HD), shouldn't be a problem for that computer, right? Any ideas how to make the files more weildy?
So far I've tried:
1) converting to .psd and .psb
2) changing the scratch disk to an external Thunderbolt SSD
3) allocating all available memory to the program within photoshop preferences
4) closing all other applications
I'm also considering what system might be better optimized for this if my computer isn't up to snuff. What are the minimum recommended system requirements to handle this file size more comfortably? Newest Retina Pro with 16GB RAM? Or switch to iMac? Mac Pro?
Thanks so much!
