PS 6.0, WIN 2K, XEON 1.8, 1 Gig RAM.
I have been working on getting an upgraded version of Photoshop, but without numbers to prove my gain in time performance I am stuck using PS 6 for a while.
Task to be completed:
Create web photo gallery on 600 PDF’s each month for review of orientation.
I set up an action to do the above mentioned job. I tested the job on 25 PDF’s ranging from 1.5 MB’s to 5 MB’s. The job took exactly 30 minutes to complete with the entire web gallery totalling 1.3MB. Obviously the 1.3MB is good, it is the 30 minutes that is not. I watched this for a while and it appears that the each PDF is rasterized (as indicated in the status bar) between 7 and 10 times. I used the "simple" layout for the gallery and the only thing that I changed from default was the thumbnail size (75 to 125).
I created a droplet so that I could just drop the necessary files. I am not using the destination path from the droplet, I have the source and destination set up in the Web Gallery actions.
Any suggestions on what I could do to speed this up. It just doesn’t seem necessary to be rasterizing each file more than once.
Thanks
