Hi,

Fairly new to PS7 and it’s a great program so far but here’s my thing that I need help with:

I drew a sketch and then scanned it into the computer and created a working file using PS7. I have 4 layers so far and I have all layers but the current that I am working on turned off. I’m not sure why the brush engine is sluggish and applying the color like it’s stuttering as I’m moving my Wacom stylus over the area.

I have a partition scratch disk created, as suggested in some of the notations I have read about PS7.

Layer 1) Background which is a star field with a couple of filters applied. Layer 2) The image I am currently working on, a super hero character. Layer 3) An energy ball that started out as a layer, painted black and then a lens flare applied and then the entire layer erased except for the main flare and have a bunch of layer styles applied to it.
Layer 4) Some nice text with layer styles applied to it.

I noticed that the program kinda slowed down a little bit with the layer styles applied. I just can’t believe that 4 lousy layers are going to slow the program down this much causing the brush engine to act this way.

Are there some things I need to be aware of or anything I can do to correct this??

I create a test file and the brush engine works just fine, so it’s something to do with the file, I guess.

HELP!!

Many thanks

what are the file dimentions (how big in pixels)? what is the resolution and what kind of machine are you on (cpu speed, ram, hard drives, operating system, etc)?

Never mind. Turns out that for some reason I had applied layer styles to that layer, dont’ know why, but I did, so once I had removed the effects then all was fine!!
