Get a tablet dude. You obviously have some talent that will *really* show once you come to grips w/ a tablet. I suck w/; my tablet, but every pic I do, it only gets better....

13" B? LOL, I am sorry for laughing, but it isn't meant to be mean or anything, I just never heard of anyone have one smaller then 15"

especially with the system unit specs you have...usually I see 13" with a old Apple IIe or something...

i mean I have a 15 inch in my closet just sitting around, if you want it, I could sell it to you...

i actually run at 1024x768 on my 14" at the house...makes things very tiny. i need a new monitor badly, but i have several other upgrades i need right now also, so i need to prioritize them, and then find the money for them.

Dudz, I got a 12" TFT display, max res. 800x600. Don't laugh!

I think that TFT's/flatscreens are a lot better than regular tube monitors for gfx due to the crispness. You can precisely see every single pixel on the screen. I think I'll keep using my laptop for gfx 'til I get the dough to buy a 17" flatscreen or something.

my very first computer {a P75, 17", 800MB HD, 8MB RAM, Sub Sound System, Quad speed CD ROM <- they still called it quad not 4x LOL} I paid for half and that was about 6-7 years ago, so it was $3,760, oh and I had a Epson Laser printer <- $600 right there.

pwew, I am glad that price war is over. This AMD one I have right now I paid for all myself and it ran $700...

Wow, am I the only Mac user here? Too bad, I have a souped up Dell, which I use for everything BUT Photoshop, and a G3 450 with a gig o ram and 36 gigs online for Photoshop. The PC is sooo much nicer for everything but photoshop, at which it coughs in handling large files (75MB and above on 256 mgs ram)

Maybe I have it misconfigured? Any ideas?

How do you alocate the memory specially for photoshop? Say, I have 128Mb and I want to alocate 96Mb or something, what is the procedure? Because even though I have a decent PC (well, its good enough for me

Photoshop when handling resolutions like 24oox26oo, at which I always work, sometimes gets sloppy and slow.

B · Posted: Thu Dec 02, 1999 11:36 am

under preferences somewhere,. i only am online when i'm at work.. so i can't tell youexactly where,. but it's there. at least it is in version 4,..also if you know how to manipulate the virtual memory for your computer it can help you a little,. or on the other hand it can hurt ya
