Clone, wait, clone, wait, clone, wait

[DSH]

Several versions ago, I remember Paint Shop Pro having (what I thought was) a bug whereby every left mouse click to clone was immediately follow by a ½-1 second of disk activity. As you'd expect, this made the cloning process on large areas incredibly slow and laborious.

Now that I'm trialling X4, I find that it's actually a feature of Paint Shop Pro, not a bug.

Could someone please tell me how to turn this crippling feature off?

Thanks in advance.

Not sure this is your situation, but one thing to remember is that large brush tip (for clone tool too), a very small step setting will cause incredible lag. Check if the step setting is not too small, try to increase it and see if it increases the speed.

Who'd have thought eh?
Try disabling the Scratchdisk. File> Preferences> General Program Preferences> Display and Caching tab. Uncheck Enable scratch disk.
Might work, might not.

You may find this interesting as you have a 64 bit computer with well over 4gb of RAM. http://forum.corel.com/EN/viewtopic.php ... 89#p234089 This would also likely help on earlier versions of PSP.
