Re: filmscanners: Scanning and memory limits in Windows



I've noticed PS is slow too. Worse still it doesn't compress well either -
try opening a file from Vuescan and then saving it with PS and it comes out
significantly larger.

I often don't bother with the compression anymore until I save to CD-R.
