Photomerge settings help, performance settings?

Having issues using photomerge with the latest version of Photoshop. I have about 120 images that are 16 mp RAW. What should I have my Photoshop Performance settings at? Cache Levels and Cache tile size? Also how much ram should I use?
My system settings are 18 gig of RAM, Core i7 920 like 4 different hard drives, Nvidia geforce 570 HD
I was using windows 8, now trying 7 but they still both crash and or take hours with no results.

I suggest Cache Levels = 6 as this is shown to speed Photomerge up vs. a setting of 4..
With 18 GB of RAM in your system I'd suggest settiing Photoshop to use 90%. But 18 GB of RAM is going to be WAY too little for 120 images of 16 megapixels each. 48 GB or more (possibly much more) would be helpful for that big a stitch.
Make sure you have a HUGE amount of free scratch space available - I mean at least 400 GB or more. Scour your system for Photoshop temp files left behind from your past failed runs.
Also, what's your ultimate goal in image size? Do you really need to stitch the images together after conversion to the full 18 MP size? Maybe you should set Camera Raw to deliver conversions at a smaller size to reduce system resource usage.

Performance settings

Hello,
I had a few questions regarding PS performance.
**Quick note about usage**
I mainly use PS for image stacking. Usually between 30 -50 photos each around 25MB in size. After stacking them and blending them I usually flatten and then from there make between 10 -30 layer adjustments etc.
**Quick note about specs**
Win 7 64bit
i5-2500K cpu
16GB DDR3 RAM
GTX 460
1TB 7200 HDD (always kept defrag'd)
55GB of freespace on SSD
1. I have read that PS uses windows Pagefile for certain things EVEN if free ram is available, is this correct?
2. I have read that PS will not store anything on a scratch disc until RAM is unavailable is this correct?
3. While working efficiency on status bar ALWAYS shows 100% However I experience lag sometimes, is this normal?
4. In performance settings I have 8556MB = 8.35GB of ram allotted to PS. Yet in resource monitor it shows PS consuming 9.33GB of RAM. How can this occur?
5. In status bar scratch sizes shows: Scratch 10.6G/8.35G. Now I get that 8.35G is my allotted RAM. I am assuming that Adobe is WANTING 10.6GB. So given that Adobe is ACTUALLY getting 9.33GB I am lacking approximately 1.3GB of RAM. Is this going to a scratch disk or windows page file?
6. I have seen some folks say to put Scratch disk on SSD, and other posts I have read say not to because it consumes a ton of writes thus quickening the death of the entire SSD, thoughts please?
7. In performance preferences it asks me to choose between: **Tall and Thin** || **Default** || **Big and Flat** Given my above usage which one should I pick?
8. If I later start using other design premium apps at the same time, is there a way for Adobe to KNOW that I want a TOTAL of 8.35GB of RAM allotted throughout all Adobe programs? Obviously I don't want to set them all at 70% RAM allowance, but will they intelligently share the 70% between themselves?
I appreciate the advice and help folks,
Jordyn

1. I have read that PS uses windows Pagefile for certain things EVEN if free ram is available, is this correct?
This hasn't to do anything with that. The page file exists completely outside of the programs. Programs simply request memory from the operating system and the OS decides whether it uses physical RAM or swap space based on its own logic. You simply do not give any consideration to the fact, that the operating system, drivers and otehr programs also consume RAM and that in order to secure functionality, there are safety margins that cannot be passed. E.g. the OS will always have so and so much kernel memory and exclusive memory areas that are not even accessible to applications. Furthermore, Windowes also creates a number of system caches for hibernation, font handling and what have you, further subtracting from what could be used by any single program.
2. I have read that PS will not store anything on a scratch disc until RAM is unavailable is this correct?
Why should it? That would be grade A stupid. Why should PS not relegate an image that you are not currently working on to the scratch in order to free up more working memory for your active image? Think about it!
3. While working efficiency on status bar ALWAYS shows 100% However I experience lag sometimes, is this normal?
Yes. Your history states and undo queue fill up and even RAM access cycles cost time when shuffling around gigabytes. Feel free to set them to the bare minimum at the cost of not being able to go back or use things liek the history brush... Also OpenGL andf shuffling image buffers back and forth to your graphics card may contribute to (perceived) lag.
4. In performance settings I have 8556MB = 8.35GB of ram allotted to PS. Yet in resource monitor it shows PS consuming 9.33GB of RAM. How can this occur?
The program doesn't run on thin air, you know... There's a difference between working memory and the overall program memory usage as seen by the operating system. Those 8.35 GB are for images, history, undo queu and whatnot, but naturally PS itself wil ltake up some memory even if nothing is loaded.
5. In status bar scratch sizes shows: Scratch 10.6G/8.35G. Now I get that 8.35G is my allotted RAM. I am assuming that Adobe is WANTING 10.6GB. So given that Adobe is ACTUALLY getting 9.33GB I am lacking approximately 1.3GB of RAM. Is this going to a scratch disk or windows page file?
Same as before - there are reasons to use scratch files and there is an overall higher memory consumption, not just what you assign as working memory.
6. I have seen some folks say to put Scratch disk on SSD, and other posts I have read say not to because it consumes a ton of writes thus quickening the death of the entire SSD, thoughts please?
I stick with what I have always said in the past - excessive writing of large data blocks can quickly wear out SSDs and all there giga-IOps capabilities don't change that. They shine as boot drives for quickly launching everything, work nice as web and data servers with tiny data packages, but I would never use them for swap. I have set all my temp variables and pagefiles to platter drives.
8. If I later start using other design premium apps at the same time, is there a way for Adobe to KNOW that I want a TOTAL of 8.35GB of RAM allotted throughout all Adobe programs? Obviously I don't want to set them all at 70% RAM allowance, but will they intelligently share the 70% between themselves?
No. Most other programs do not even have explicit memory management options and rely on your operating system's dynamic memory management.

Webi Processing Server _ Performance Settings.

Hi all,
How to modify the Wb Intelligence Processing Server Performance Settings in BO XI3.1
Thanks
Reddeppa k

Hi,
you can change the webi processing server settings by logging on the CMC (URL: http://<name of your BOBJ server>/CmcApp as administrator. Just invoke the "servers" panel and select your web intelligence processing server. Over the context menu (left mouse button) select the option "properties". You can modify several parameters there. For more information look in the BOE administration guide:
[http://help.sap.com/businessobject/product_guides/boexir31/en/xi3-1_bip_admin_en.pdf]
You have to restart the webi server (invoke again the context menu and select Restart Server) so that the new settings will be applied.

New performance settings in SPRO (2004s)

Hello,
Does anyone know how we should set the parameters in SPRO for maximum performance? NOTE: We are running on Oracle 10g.
According to note 938040, these parameters should replace the DB_STATISTICS entry we used to have in RSADMIN. Is this true?
There are actually 2 sections in SPRO:
1. A global section in SPRO/SAP NetWeaver/Business Intelligence/Performance settings/Settings for Database Interfaces.
The way I understand this section is that if your DBMS is able to handle histograms, you don't have to tick the check box. Assuming we run the stats in Oracle on a daily basis, is it okay to leave the checkbox unchecked?
2. In the Oracle specific section in SPRO/SAP NetWeaver/Business Intelligence/Performance settings/Settings for Database Interfaces (Oracle).
From what I read through the help, we can speed up the index rebuild by unchecking the "Logging while index" check box. We've done some testing in C&B and so far so good for this one (we are about to test it in PROD). However, with the "Degree" field, wether we put 0 or 8 in it and we launch a massive aggregate, we haven't seen any difference. Does anyone has any experience with that field?
Thanks in advance,
D.

Hi
Your assumption is correct.
Let me first enlighten you throwing light on the purpose of using the parameter DB_STATISTICS,it was used in prior 3.x versions and I was able to leverage it for maximum use;however there are pros and cons to it.
Example -
Point -1
DB statistics (optimizer statistics) are created at certain times in BW. These processes can occupy a considerable portion of the runtime, especially in the case of large scenarios (large InfoCubes, many aggregates). The relevance of the DB statistics is particularly important if a roll-up or change run (or other loading or loading-related processes) is executed at the same time that queries are being executed.
If, however, a roll-up or change run takes place during a Night time or Weekend window, in which very Few queries or no queries are running, it may be useful not to create the DB statistics at first but to create them at the end of the process. To do this, you can deactivate the DB statistics in BW.
You can deactivate the DB statistics initiated by the BW system by making the following entry in the RSADMIN table; You can use the SAP_RSADMIN_MAINTAIN ABAP report for this:
Object: DB_STATISTICS
Value: OFF
OR using SPRO as you mentioned above.
Point -2
Check Box - "Logging while Index"
By default, Oracle database logging is deactivated for index structure. This means that indexes cannot be restored from a database backup. They need to be structured again with the transaction RSRV.
So I hope you have used RSRV ??
If this parameter is SET, the index structure is written to the database backup. This can lead to a quicker restoretime but SLOWS down building of the index.
DEGREE (Option)
This parameter sets the number of parallel processes that Oracle can use when building the aggregate/index. The value 0 corresponds to the default value in Oracle configuration ('PARALLEL DEFAULT').I am in the DEV so yet to validate and give proof of concept for it..
Hope it Helps

New Performance Settings and Improvements in 2004s

Hi all,
I was wondering if there is a document or website with all performance settings that are
new in BI 2004s (and that were not available in BW 3.5 or lower).
If this information is not grouped yet, I want to invite everyone to gather the 2004s specific performance information in this thread. The improvements that I'm aware of are:
Write-optimized DSO: http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/b6/de1c42128a5733e10000000a155106/frameset.htm
BI Accelerator http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/06/49c0417951d117e10000000a155106/frameset.htm
Optimization hint for logical MultiProvider partitioning (native in BI 2004s) Note 911939
Of course there must be more.
Best regards,
Danië

You are partially rite and you mentioned the new settings which come along with the aforementioned settings
Heres my take on few others -
1)Tcode = RSODSO_SETTINGS
used for Parallel activation of ODS to improve performance
2)RSCUSTV25
Query- SQL Split
Data mart Query Split
3)se16-->RSADMIN
DB_STATISTICS = OFF
OSS note 938040 - as per SAP
As of Support Package 8, the parameter is no longer used. This means that BI triggers the creation of database statistics, regardless of this parameter. The database itself determines whether the statistics are to be created or changed.
Tool BRCONNECT to be used after loading of all cubes.
4)RSCUSTV8
Reporting Lock = X
If you set this parameter to X, database commits are executed during master data activation. This prevents an overflow of rollback segments. Because temporary inconsistent states can occur here, reporting is locked during this time.
If you currently load large quantities of data in which many values change, leading to problems with the rollback segments, you should set this parameter.
5)Parallel Processing of query
Se16-->RSADMIN
QUERY_MAX_WP_DIAG = 6
https://forums.sdn.sap.com/click.jspa?searchID=4695392&messageID=2935804
6)RSA1>Administration>Current Settings
Here you get all the different independent areas which you can work to perk up the
performance related issues.

KT3 Ultra 3: Crashes on high-performance settings

Hello, another frustrated newbie here.
Here's my problem. I have an AMD 2200 xp processor. When my computer boots up it says I have an AMD 1500 processor. Yes, I know I need to change to FSB speed to 133 then I'll have a 2200 processor. But here's the rub, when I change the FSB setting to 133 in the bios my computer crashes on reboot. The only way to not crash is to go back into the bios, return to defaults (100 speed FSB) and then the computer works again. It also crashes when I try other high-speed settings in the bios. Everything else is working fine. I've updated all the drivers I could find.
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I am reliying on the expertise of this forum.
Thanks

Hi, using "High Performance" settings actually tweak on few hidden BIOS settings that's not visible in the BIOS menu. You can firstly, load "BIOS Default" settings, and then set the rests to high performance settings.
IF you still prefer to stick to "Load High PErformance Settings", then you might need to tune down your DRAM settings instead, tune to what your DDR RAM is capable of.

Performance Settings - Slow only?

You know there is an option called performance settings under Frequency/Voltage control.
And you can choose to use Slow Fast Turbo Ultra-Turbo
But if i choose fast, I cant even boot
What do I need to use those faster options??

You may connect it to iTunes and update it from there.

I have PS CC. If I download PS CS3, to be able to use an older filter, will it mess up my CC settings and performance?

Hi Digitalartist,
It will not affect the performance but it might change the default to CS3 Photoshop.
You might check in bridge for the file associations whether the extensions like Jpegs, PSD etc have Photoshop CC selected.
Also check the default program for the images if you are directly opening images with Photoshop.
Thanks
