I’m doing a large format print right now in PSP9 for one of my clients, and I have never had much luck doing this kind of work (I usually do web graphics – much smaller). I have no problem with the layouts, etc., but my computer chokes up on the large size images at high resolution. (My current project is 48" x 36" at 300ppi.
I have a fairly new PC. It has 1GB of Dual SDRAM, a 3.2Ghtz processor and 100GB of free hard disk space, so I can’t imagine I should need a whole lot more???? I generally use Paint Shop Pro 9 for my print work, but I am considering moving to Photoshop, if it will solve this issue I’m having handling large files. We run on WindowsXP Professional. I’m just stumped. How do you manage to work with such large file sizes for the high resolution prints without your system locking up? Is life better in Photoshop than PSP?
Thanks for any input!
