Can you point me to a helpful (and simple) explanation of 'Optimising PS CS6 and Bridge CS6 Preferences' - tried unsuccesfully on Google! After problems with CS6 64-bit I have reverted to 32-bit, for me it is working much better - although I am aware that I haven't got access to unlimited RAM now - but I am having problems with Bridge - occasionally crashing with comments about not enough ram or '100% loop not available' on some images - possibly something to do with cache arrangement - hence I would like to check that the Preferences are optimised. The D800 NEF files are around 40GB. Attached is a shot of the Grace Spitfire at Seething Airshow last week. Attachment: for web (Large).jpg (Downloaded 59 times)

Never knew that they built a two seater version but its clear to see with this sharp image. Nice shot Ken. I give Photoshop 80% RAM , 100 steps backwards history, rest is all standard.

Thanks JK - I've shoved the RAM up from 60 to 80% - but as my problems are with Bridge, does this have any effect on Bridge. Would it be any use if I allocated a new external hard drive to cache in Bridge. You will know that I cannot really get my ancient head around all this so I do need some simple guidance from those that do understand such technicalities! Thanks for the comment re the Spitfire - almost certainly the only 2 seat Spitfire - converted from a single seater in 1951 to be used as a trainer - now owned and piloted by Carolyn Grace.

Ken, I've gotten similar messages using my HP 4G RAM computers. I don't want to sound like I'm bragging, but I'm using a 24G Ram machine now with an Intel IE7 processor and I have no problems. - EdM

Hi Ken, great image of the Spitfire. You shouldn't have to Optimise Ps or Br settings to get them to work reliably. You might want to optimise them to get the last ounce of performance from them. I suspect something in your hardware or OS isn't 100% 64bit clean. We had these issues going from 16 to 32 bit. Until you have a proven 100% 64bit clean system, it will cause grief. I don't think it's just down to RAM, Ps and Bridge will swap out virtual ram by the wagon load all on their own. A large, fast, dedicated HD for a scratch disk is a good idea, NOT the HD with the OS on it or that might even slow things down. Say a WD Black 250Gb would make a good scratch drive. If you plan to use an external it needs to be Firewire or eSATA. With a PC it's so easy to slip another internal drive in connected to the SATA bus. If you use USB for a scratch drive that could make things worse, it's so slow. My figures for external drives: USB drive Write 38MB/Sec - Read 39Mb/Sec. FW drive Write 64MB/Sec - Read 78Mb/Sec. FW RAID Write 64MB/Sec - Read 82Mb/Sec. (May vary depending on file type.) I suspect the RAID is limited by the FW Interface. Probably best to keep plodding away with 32 Bit until you are ready to upgrade the box, by then they may be cleaner and more reliable. I don't believe you need 24Gb for images, my i7 with 8 gig is unstoppable. Even my little dual processor with 4Gb ram allowed me to open 1,750 D200 NEF's all at once, with ACR, the performance was not any slower than it would be for 10 NEF images. It did take a while to save all the JPEG's though... Maybe video would benefit from more RAM because it's dynamic.

Ken, If I remember corrctly you ar running Windows on an iMac. Are you running Windows7 64bit? Use System Manager to find out. It should list which mode 32/64 it is running in.

Ken- Very nice shot!!! I don't' see any settings for specific ram to dedicate to bridge in cs6 (don't remember what it was like in earlier versions). I have the photoshop setting to use up to 70% of ram in my macbook pro (not home, but think it's the same on the imac) and I have no issues. Tom

I expect it is something I have done, or not done!

Jonathan, Got rid of the iMac about a year ago - after a lifetime with Windows I just couldn't get my head around it - we discussed it at the time I recall, and you bemoaned the fact that you weren't nearby to give me a course! So, I am back with Win 7 32-bit.
