Quick impression.

Hi Maceo,

Interestingly, it takes six seconds to go to full resolution on a DP2M file with my best system and nine seconds to effect a full slider change in an operation such as exposure from one extreme to the other at 400%. I rarely use full res or even SPP for things like NR which I generally do with the tiff in post using other software such as Topaz so it has not really been an issue.

However, if you have ever attempted to do these things on a system like a Windows core 2 duo running XP, I know you greatly appreciate the vast differences with high-end hardware. Without knowing how much data is actually being crunched by SPP it's difficult to determine exactly where the bottleneck is, but the process is greatly facilitated by modern hardware and more recent OS changes. Just how much to attribute to which is not easily determined without some careful testing.

Best regards,

Lin

The difference between these two systems running SPP is huge. Modern 64 bit systems with fast processors and excellent graphics environments facilitate running SPP smoothly and efficiently.

Hmm…my fastest Mac is a 12 Core machine with 16gb RAM and SSD, i wonder what machine i need to make my SPP running "smoothly".
Maybe you guys never use the full res button? After doing that, WB or NR or color mode changes take up to 10 seconds (each). In my opinion this is annoying and not acceptable. (to see differences in NR you need the 100% view)
