Some weeks ago I asked for advice as to speeding up operations in Photoshop. Opening images was sluggish and it too almost thirty seconds for the print dialogue box to appear after I pressed the print command. Many suggestions were received, but the best was my own: I purchased a new computer to replace my five year old unit.

I bought a Dell with an i7 ninth generation processor. It came with a pci 250 gb solid state drive and a one terabyte regular hard drive. It has a 6gb nvidea video card and thirty two gbs of memory I set photoshop to allow access to twenty gbs of memory and set the scratch disk to a third empty hard drive. The unit can take four hard drives.

I tried my first print today. Print dialoged box popped up in one second and the follow through operations went like lightening, including actual printing speed.

Now my wife wants to know what I'll do with all the time I save.

Your wife wants to know or has she already given you a list of what to do with your saved time?

Of course, take her out to dinner. Then follow-up with a nice portrait of her that you can hang on the wall. Keep her happy and you'll find that you will have even more time to go out and take photos.

Is that how it's supposed to work?

Spending money is usually a very good way to get things done faster. As for what to do with the time you saved, browse the Internet for camera and computer stuff you "need."

Just curiosity: did you compare the graphic cards of the new and the old computers?

Your Scratch disk should be on your fastest drive.
