When editing large files with a dozen or so layers (25 MB, give or take) I’m having a problem with PS7 locking up my entire system. It usually happens when I try to do something extensive, like rotate a single layer, but it’s also happened just trying to open the file and read it. Smaller files are no problem. My system stops responding to any input commands and I have to power off to reboot.
At first I assumed it was a video problem, that’s very much how it’s behaving. But I couldn’t recreate the problem in ImageReady, everything I tried worked just fine. Seems reasonable that a video problem would affect both programs, and I do have all the latest drivers and updates (that I know of).
My PS7 has four separately partitioned scratch discs to choose from, and I even bumped up its available memory to 100%. I deleted the pref file and started from scratch with no luck. Before I uninstall / reinstall PS7 I was hoping someone out there might recognize the symptoms and have a less drastic suggestion.
