How to make photoshop go faster, faster!?

Right now I'm using a Mac G5 dual 1.8hz PowerPC with 2GB RAM, PS 7.0. 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, PS CS4. What else should I put into this to speed everything up? Thanks!

this is very helpful thank you.
I'm putting in the maximum ram possible for this machine- 16GB. I don't know how to improve that.
I see it is also important to have a dedicated scratch disc, with nothing else on it. Adobe even recommends using a RAID array for this, so you are really talking about at least 2 drives just for the scratch disc. I was wondering if you could use an SSD for the scratch disc, like an Intel X25-M 80GB? These drives have very fast read speeds, although the write speed is not as good.

How to make this code go faster?

Hi,
I have this code and its really slow. My question is how to make it faster since its taking about 10 hours.
Code:
loop at ti_equi.
    select matnr sernr lief_nr kunde datum uzeit bwart posnr
appending corresponding fields of table ti_ser01
      from z_objk_ser01
     where sernr eq ti_equi-sernr
       and matnr eq ti_equi-matnr.
endloop.
delete ti_ser01 where not ( kunde in s_kunnr and
                              bwart = '631' ).
sort ti_ser01 by matnr sernr datum descending uzeit descending.
delete adjacent duplicates from ti_ser01 comparing matnr sernr.
What this code does is fetch all these fields and then just keeps the one that's been modified at last.
I have created an index by sernr and matnr in table objk which makes it just a little bit faster.
Any helpful answer will be appreciated.
Regards,
Roberto

Hi roberto
please avoid select statment inside loop.
use code
data: index type sy-tabix.
data : ti-ser011 type standard table of zobjk-ser01 with header line.
select matnr sernr lief_nr kunde datum uzeit bwart posnr
      from z_objk_ser01 into table ti_ser01.
sort ti_ser01 by sernr matnr.
sort ti_equi by sernr matnr.
index = 1.
loop at ti_equi.
    loop at ti_ser01 from index
     if ti_ser01-sernr = ti_equi-sernr
          and ti_ser01-matnr = ti_equi-matnr.
        move-corresponding ti_ser01 to ti_ser011.
        append ti_ser011.
        index = sy-tabix.
        exit.
     endif.
    endloop.
endloop.
here i have used one more internal table ti_ser011.
you can delete specific record from ti_ser01 internal table on condition. at that time u don't need to create any other internal table like ti-ser011.
in place of loop select statement---endloop.
you can use this code. I think it will help you.
please find if it is udeful.

How to make my iMac run faster

Hi there,
I have a 2011 iMac which is hardly used. I have upgraded the ram to 12 GB when I purchased it. However, it takes ages for the computer to run, especially during start-up.
Any thoughts on how to make it run faster?
Cheers,
Gary

Make sure you installed the correct RAM. Installing the wrong type will cause the system to become unstable and slow.

HT1338 how to make my MacBook pro faster

I was wondering if there is any software to clean and make my MacBook Pro faster and lighter???
I heard about the MacKeeper but I get some negative feedback about it....

MacKeeper is garbage.
The best way to speed up your Mac is not to install garbage software, such as MacKeeper, or to uninstall it if you've already done so.
Beyond that, you can increase performance by replacing the internal hard drive with an SSD and/or adding memory.

How to make photoshop work like mspaint

I know how dumb this sounds, but I could really use some help.
I was trying to use CS3 to resize an image (a page of a book), but photoshop would open it in bitmap only. After realizing how much the image quality would drop when resizing in bitmap, I tried to make photoshop open the picture in a different mode like RGB, but I couldn't figure out how. (The only mode I could change to was Grayscale, but it was as bad as bitmap)
This has forced me to resize the picture in mspaint...
Below is one of the pictures I was trying to shrink; its current size is about 2500x3200 (38k). I hope someone could tell me how to resize these kind of pictures in photoshop (I'd settle for mspaint if resizing were the only thing I needed to do)

Also, by interface i mean the space that i highlighted in photoshop in the picture below.

The milkKeyK, Hello and Welcome!
The only thing you can do seems to be patient, and to upgrade to the next version of Photoshop, according to R_Kelly's link...
Besides the two sneak peeks videos, the others should not have been there: it is either a breach of one's NDA, or they are using pirated software.

How to make a pdf rip faster

Hi every one. I just made a post card for a customer in Indesign CC. I export the file as a print pdf. . The file ends up being 4.8mbs. When I try to impose and print the file on my rip software (fiery) it takes 15 mins to rip. Is there any way I can preflight or some how compress my file to that it rips easier? I ran preflight on Acrobat 11 pro on the color digital print preset and it made the graphics look choppy and put lines through some of the type. Does any one know how I might remedy this problem? I need to find a solution and get these printed today.

Put the terminal of your led in a while-loop outside the rest of the
diagram (so it can free-run).
Make a local-variable which is true, when the led should be blinking.
Put an Shift-Register inside the loop
wire an boolean constant from outside to the shift register.
wire the signal from the shift register "input" to a "not" function and
this to the shift-register "output"
wire the signal to an "OR"-Gate
wire the local variable to the "OR"-Gate
wire the output of the "OR"-Gate to your control that should blink
put an "Wait until next ms Multiple" inside and wire a contant
containing
the blink-length you want to it.
This should do it.
It sounds a lot more complicated than it is. If you want, you can

How to make the start up faster?

I bought my MBP on April. During the first couple of weeks, the start up was impressive! So quick! But after I installed couple of programs I use at uni, it start up seems to slowed down a bit. Recently I installed Flash, Photoshop, Dreamweaver and couple of other Adobe products. Now the start up is significantly slow compare to before. I was wondering if the services from these programs are running during the startup. So I disabled them via "Login Items". But I'm not too sure if it stops them completely.
Any suggestions to make start up faster?

Is it still showing up in your ad-on manager?

How to make this query go faster

Hi ,
I have the following query :
select a.* from
tbl1 a , tbl2 b
where a.id = b.id
substr(b.id , 3, 2) <> 'XX'
and b.date1 is not null
and b.date1 >= sysdate - 90 ;
tbl1 - 21 million rows
tbl2 - 2 millions
i specify this hints /*+ INDEX(idxa_1 , idxa_2) INDEX(ixdb_1)
where idxa_1 --> b.lotid
idxa_2 --> b.date1
idxb_1 --> a.lotid
IF i DO NOT include b.date1 is not null and b.date1 >= sysdate - 90 ,
from explain plan i could see it using a FAST FULL SCAN which really returns very fast
HOWEVER if i include b.date1 is not null and b.date1 >= sysdate - 90
, from explain plain it uses row index and then there's a range scan and its slow
how can i improve the performance of this query ?
pls advise
tks & rdgs

Don't create the temporary table.
Create a function based index on table two
substr(id , 3, 2)Make sure you have gathered statistics on the tables.
Remove the hint.
select a.* from
tbl1 a , tbl2 b
where a.id = b.id
and substr(b.id , 3, 2) <> 'XX'
and b.date1 >= sysdate - 90;If you still have performance problems, post the formatted explain plan from sqlplus.
Read the Performance Tuning Guide.
Unfortunately this is not urs advice.

How to make powermac G4 400GHz faster and run smoother.

I really want to make my Power Mac G4 much faster and run smoother, can someone help me do this.
P.S. I'm running mac OS X 10.4.11 and I'm trying to install mac OS X 10.6 snow leopard will upgrading my OS help improve performance.

dragon,
First thing to do, and the cheapest, is more RAM. It's not cool to recommend retailers, etc....but you really want to get the right stuff. Macs can be finicky about RAM. You can get the right stuff in many places...IF you know what you're doing. That being said, most 'pros' here in Discussions recommend macsales.com (OWC) and crucial.com because you'll get the right stuff at decent prices. Both have memory 'advisors', where you type in your machine type and get recommendations for the correct memory. Do that yourself, even if you're not ready to buy today.
macsales.com has 512mb for about $30. Crucial wants $60; dunno why; they used to be comparable. One plan, on your limited budge, would be to get one 512mb stick; then save up and buy THE SAME product when you've saved up $30 more. I wouldn't mix. It can be done but you'll save yourself some grief just buying the same sticks from the same place. You'll see a pretty good improvement if you go to 1GB+.
You'll also see pretty good performance if you limit the number of apps you install, particularly "third party plugins". Keep your Mac lean and mean and it'll perform well for years. Be sure to run Permissions Repair EVERY TIME you install an app. I say this because that 60GB HD will fill up pretty fast. Maybe it'd be better just to get the one 512MB stick, giving you 1.5GB RAM. Then, save up for a bigger HDD. You'll need those two upgrades before even thinking of a CPU upgrade.
Get the free utility Macaroni and let it run daily, weekly, monthly tasks. Read thru other posts here in the 'Using ur PMac G4' and "Exanding ur PMac G4".
Please come back if you have any more questions. HTH

How to make my MAC run faster

My MAC is starting to run slow and I was wondering what are some ways (besides rebuild it) to make it faster? I don't have many files and programs but it is slow. I am an advanced user but I am not that good with the Linux commands etc. So if anything is command line would you please type them out.
Thanks for any help.

Thank but I think it is a little more than that. I dont have many things running. I have most closed and it is still very slow. This Laptop is only a year old. i only have two apps open but it is still slow.
Thanks

Re: How to make this forum run fast

I counted till eleven, but since I'm a rather quick counter, I'd say about 7 seconds as well.
Could it be that y'all are using Firefox? I'm on IE7.

(suspecting commie influence since '77)Strange. I tried with IE 7. Loading the main page, about 45 seconds, loading this thread about 30 seconds, getting to the reply page about 3-4 seconds.I find the site blindingly fast! Certainly less than 45 seconds to load the man page and very very much less that 30 seconds for this page. Both typically 1 second with the login page taking about 3 seconds.
