Greetings,
I had a discussion with Jack Flesher about the recent 8 cores and how photoshop handles hardware.
I would be interested to learn what you guy's epxerience in setting up an optimum work environment for photoshop.
For example, talking about scratch disks. Jack found it most beneficial to have scratch disks on stripped volumes and uses OSX for that, not a dedicated controller. He also told me that it is more beneficial to have multiple scratch disks instead of one. Say 4x 100 Gig instead of 1x 400Gig.
I was doing some testshots and found that the efficiency on my system, where I initially had only one scratch disk assigned, went down to below 40% when I wanted to crop a 1GB picture and it took long to do it.
A shame that PS can not adress more than 3 Gig at the moment, hopefully this will be adressed with an update sooner than later.
Do you you have any further hints concerning optimizing PS for post processing?
Thanks
