So, i did my first batch photoshop editing spree last night....and BAM instant ram full.

i did around 300 photos in an hour or so, and after the first 50 or so loaded, it became dreadfully slow loading the rest, but once they were all loaded and crap it went smoothe as silk. but yeah, it ate up 1.08 GB of the ram and i had like 300mb left avaliable

buying 4gb today lol


so yeah, if you do heavy processing work, but 4gb
 
Not to hijack the thread or anything but I heard some people were having issues when upgrading to 4gb

Something about the macbook wouldn't boot up

yea ive seen that going around too... i wonder if it has to do with certain brands of memory?

in another thread it was mentioned that the specs for DDR3 are too new and hopefully the issues will be resolved soon
 
Did you load all the photos at once? If so was there a need to do this?

yeah, i cant do the batch adjustments with the action sequence i use in any other program.

so yeah, to make it fast i open everything, cmd+f1 and it runs the string, saves it to desktop, and closes. move on to the next one
 
Well you could just open up fifty at a time and "manually" batch process them. I never really do batch processing / actions in PS so I can't answer more specifically.
 
then it would take ions longer

certain sets i do certain things, i have liek 12 different actions set up. i know i iused up all hte cmd +f# options
 
been there
done that


just letting guys know that do alot of photo work like i do that you need it.
I normally do my editing on my desktop, but i was away on a shoot
