What are the most resource intensive Photoshop tutorials or Action Scripts

I'm trying to benchmark some RAM on a machine, and was planning on using Photoshop as a portion of the real world tests. So I was wondering what some of the most resourse intensive, yet realistic and common things to do are.
Alternatively, perhaps somebody knows of some highly complex tutorials I can follow along to and create a Action script myself. I just don't want my tests to be "Opened random image, doubled size, rotated 12-degreese, apply filter, bla bla bla".
I've been googling around a bit but nothing really caught my eye. I'd rather hear from real people than read through a bunch of "100 best photoshop Action scripts" all day, yaknow?
Cheers

    Hi Christie!
    Actually the thing is that when we are so eager about designing and start using PS then it's hard to tell that what tool we use the most and what tool we like the most to use! Besides my personnal opinion is to use Lasso tool would be my favorite

  • Laptop editing with Premiere Pro CS4: what are the most important specs

    Laptop Editing: What are the MOST important specs?
    Hello everybody, I have been a long time lurker, but I decided to join in and share my voice.
    I've been editing, for a while now, various projects of various lenghts shot on my HV20, on an IMac using Adobe Premiere Pro. Actually, I bought the CS4 Extended Production Suite last year  thinking that it made sense to be able to edit, do the coloring and effects+ sound all within the same suite.
    AND, it came with OnLocation, wich is, I think, a fantastic tool. I really want to be able to record and monitor my future shoots using OnLocation. I've seen how useful monitors and scopes are on set, and the idea of being able to shoot in HD and actually checking the focus on something larger than a few inches is very appealling!
    So a laptop is in my future. Now, what are the most important specs?
    I could buy 1) a barely used Macbook pro early 08- 17" HD led display ,4g Ram ddr2 ,nvidia 8600M GT 512 VRAM ,800Mhz BUS, 200G 7200HD
    and have enough money left to buy an Apple Display 30" refurb
    OR 2) a new Macbook pro 17, 4 g Ram ddr3, 512 VRAm, 4g Ram ddr3, double procsessors 9400M+9600M GT 512 VRAM, 1066 BUS, 500G 7200HD
    and wait for a second display!
    Plus, of course, a portable External Scratch Drive on the Express Card. Now, if that fast drive is handling the footage, could'nt I settle for a 5400HD in the laptop,, they seem much less prone to problems-clicking noise, heat-than the 7200, especially in the new unibody model. Is 800 versus 1066 BUS a terrible trade-off? In terms of secondary displays , I've heard less than lukewarm things about the new Apple 24 LED (glossy is no-no for me).
    My intentions are to make documentaries and short fictions as well. I make a living as an actor so I don't need to be performing as a director/editor business wise!
    I do want to explore that side of the craft, in a professional and enjoyable way though. I know that, in addition to the laptop, I will get a MacPro in a few years.
    Thanks a lot for the inputs!

    Successful video editing (as compared to tear your hair out video editing) requires at least two hard drives... one for all software and one for all data... some people use 3 drives, with data on one and scratch files on the 3rd drive
    I'm not sure about software, but everything I've ever read in this forum says 5400 is NOT fast enough for the data drive
    If you want to edit video... you have to buy the hardware that works

    CPU, RAM, bus speed, system HD, external HD, graphics - basically in that order
    You should think in terms of purchasing for maximum future use. In that regard the new 17" MacBookPro is the way to go. The specs are significantly better than the early '08 MacBook and you will be much happier in the long run with performance, software support and longevity.
    If you really need a large display, consider a 24" Dell, HP, NEC, etc. in the $200-$300 price range to stay within your total budget. You will be pleasantly surprised how good they are.
    You could start out with the 5400rpm system HD - you can replace it anytime with a 7200rpm drive if necessary for hardly any more $ than it would cost in the first place; and replacing it does NOT void your warranty. But you WILL want/need a good external FW800 or eSATA drive (for eSATA you will need an eSATA expressCard/34 however) no matter what.
    One other thought, if your primary use will be with an external display, and you don't actually need eSATA capability (FW800 will do you just fine at this point), then the 15" 2.66GHz or 2.8GHz MacBookPro models will be just fine at a significantly lower cost than the 17" model.

  • What are the most important functions you cannot bypass in acrobat?

    I would like to know what are the most important functionalities that we can not bypass in Acrobat? What makes Acrobat more worthy than other PDF reader/editor?
    Personally, I notice that Acrobat (adobe products in general) takes longtime to install or uninstall. I don't find a striking feautre in Acrobat compared with other software!
    Worse, Acrobat doesn't support Multiple document interface! So, I don't know why I should pays for Adobe while other free PDF viewer/reader offer this great feature!
    Adobe does like Microsoft was doing long time ago in ignoring people opinions! I don't understand why adobe persists not to include MDI (Multiple Document Interface) at least as optional feature?
    Thanks

    The MDI issue is caused by following Windows User Interface Guidelines. Complain to Microsoft. As to what functionality is most important. The most important is creating problem free pdfs. The other things I find important are the form related capabilities, preflight, pdf optimizer and redaction.

  • What are the database resources when collecting stats using dbms_stats

    Hello,
    We have tables that contain stale stats and would want to collect stats using dbms_stats with estiamte of 30%. What are the database resources that would be consummed when dbms_stats is used on a table? Also, would the table be locked during dbms_stats? Thank you.

    1) I'm not sure what resources you're talking about. Obviously, gathering statistics requires I/O since you've got to read lots of data from the table. It requires CPU particularly if you are gathering histograms. It requires RAM to the extent that you'll be doing sorts in PGA and to the extent that you'll be putting blocks in the buffer cache (and thus causing other blocks to age out), etc. Depending on whether you immediately invalidate query plans, you may force other sessions to start doing a lot more hard parsing as well.
    2) You cannot do DDL on a table while you are gathering statistics, but you can do DML. You would generally not want to gather statistics while an application is active.

  • What are the most common questions in the forums?

    I have my own ideas about what are the questions we see asked over and over and over again in here. Everyone post your ideas here so we can compile a FAQ and maybe post it somewhere (Virum, your new site? :) )

    Please do my homework/coursework/think for me
    This has to be by far the most common type of question asked on the forums.
    Classpath questions
    HashCode questions
    Pointer vs Reference Debate (totally spurious but people spew 100's of pages arguing about something that is perfectly obvious)
    A very good Thread that is probably 1000's of entries long by now is the
    "How to get your questions answered promptly" one (or however this is called). A recap of that published somewhere would be of tremendous value, especially if it was presented as a page you had to go through before landing in the forums to post your latest "Java Challenge" aka "do my coursework" on the boards.

  • What are the most important system preference files to have backed up?

    This isn't specifically a Time Machine question but since it pertains to backup I thought it would be best here. In addition to backing up my entire system to an external HD using Time Machine I'm also planning to back-up critical files to an online service (Mozy) in case I should have a break-in or fire or something like that and not be able to recover either my laptop or my external HD.
    I've started to identify some of the files I'd like to back up such as the encrypted database where my passwords are stored (Wallet) but I'm wondering what some of the other things I should back up are. What are the files that would contain important data that I wouldn't want to lose or would help get in me up and running more quickly?

    Hiya,
    firstly, I would not recommend backing up anything *in isolation*. As all system critical files interact, and some are stored (invisibly) at various locations, including the volume header.
    The "library" files (you'll find various ones, one in your actual bootup drive, one in your home folder, and one in your "system" folder) are, of course critical (see Dimaxium's post)
    With a MBP, I'd recommend timecapsule or external firewire HDD (I had some excellent experience with LaCie 1Tb on Firewire 800 - incredibly fast).
    What I'd do, rather than running Time Machine, which can be - of course - *very useful* (drawback, it uses the backup disk till full) is the following:
    If you know your existing OS is pristine and works perfectly, I'd get external HDD, install Leopard (from Leopard disk), then use migration assistant and it'll create a clone (if you tick all the boxes - note article about the versions: http://macs.about.com/od/leopard105/ss/migratevol.htm ).
    That way, the new disk has everything. And from time to time, just boot up, using your external HDD and update.
    Bit more work, but that way, you got a fully functional "emergency OS" available anytime.

  • SS7 over IP , What are the mostly used Solutions ?

    Hi
    I am completely new to the world of Telephone and Voice.
    If you guys could tell me what are the uses of SS7 over IP?
    In real world where do we use SS7 over IP.
    Where to get some study materials on that?
    thanks guys

    Thanks for your helpful replies. However the problem turned out to be a change (behind my back!) of the testing system. Instead of heating the testing loop with the ol' reliable AC supply, the technician went to a new DC supply. There's a fault in the wiring somewhere that appears to short the HP 3421A boxes to the 1000A power supply. This, as you might expect, makes them grumpy. Electrical intervention has taken place and the test is running again.

  • What are the most common designpaterns?

    Hello!
    I have been working with a designpatern before. But i have only used one of them.
    I have heard that there are many diffrent kind of paterns.
    Which are the most common? Is EJB a kind of designpatern?
    And does anybody know any good internetpage about designpaterns?
    Thank you.

    Hello!
    I have been working with a designpatern before. But i have only used one of them.If you've written Java, you've used a lot of patterns without knowing it. They're built into the language.
    I have heard that there are many diffrent kind of paterns.The first "design patterns" book, and arguably the best, is "Design Patterns" by Gamma, Johnson, Helm, and Vlissides. I'd read that if you haven't.
    Which are the most common? Is EJB a kind of designpatern?EJB itself isn't a "pattern", but it uses them. Since EJBs are based on RMI, it's using Proxy every time you call an EJB. The stub is a proxy for the remote object that lets your client speak to it as if it was in the same address space.
    And does anybody know any good internetpage about designpaterns?Core J2EE Patterns IS excellent. Doug Schmidt has done a lot of patterns work, too.
