What kind of hardware/software does everyone use?
Phantom5800:
I tried recently to actually clean up some raw scans ... but after about 20 minutes I couldn't stand the fact my computer was so slow at doing editing at the high resolutions required. Editing a PS3 cover at 300 dpi in Paint.NET was using about 1GB of RAM and usually around 80-90% CPU. So I am just curious what kind of systems the cover gurus have (I got a new computer a couple months ago, but haven't had the time to set it up and see how well it fairs at this).
the7k:
I use Photoshop CS2.
However, my old computer died and I'm now using a computer with only 10GBs of space (total) and, just in general, much less everything than any computer out there. That combined with an extremely slow trickle for an income that I would use to repair my old computer or get a new one has pretty much left me out-of-action for quite some time.
So, yeah, I'd imagine if Paint.NET is giving you a hassle, PSCS2 won't do you any better. Still, it's better than the Gimp.
tiktektak:
My PC isn't too hot either. I think around two years old.
I've got 4GB of not too slow RAM though which is pretty important if you use RAM intensive programs like photoshop.
