Cropping in PRO 4.6 is very sluggish

artmanphoto
When I use the crop tool in C1 Pro 4.6 it moves very slow and sluggish, not fast and smooth like in 3.7.8 with the same XP Pro machine.

Does anyone have thoughts as to why or how I can correct this?

Thanks!

    Hi Bill,
    In general I think you can say that CO 4.6 Pro is more demanding on hardware than 3.7.x was. Any optimization of your system might help a bit but do not guarantee the same performance as with the previous version. Any chance you can share some hardware specs with us to get an idea?

    Hi Paul;

    Thanks for your reply! My hardware is Windows XP Pro with a Pentium 4 2.4 GHz processor, 4Gb of RAM and an ATI video card with 512 MB of video memory.

    Have a super day!

    Hi Bill,

    I am afraid I am already pretty sure what the bottleneck is in your Capture One system. Certainly a nice computer system you have, but CO4.x preview redraw is very processor intensive and your Pentium 4 will be very busy with it all the time, letting you wait till its finished. Progress has a price I am afraid.
    Current systems with Core 2 Duo (or Quad) type of processors will handle the task far more easily.

    Paul,

    I was afraid you would tell me what you mention about processor speed, etc. I have been seriously thinking about buying a new machine with a Quad processor. Thanks again. Have a super day!

    If all else is good on your machine just upgrade the processor to a quad core. I just did this on two computers. They perform much better now. Less expensive than new computers if that is all that is needed

    Ted;

    Thanks for your reply - I was just thinking about upgrading the processor last week. My two Gateway machines are about 6 years old so I would have to check on how upgradeable the processor is.

    Have a great week!
