RAM Disk
Anyone use a RAM Disk to speed up performance in Paintshop Pro? Any improvement in speed would be appreciated. I like what I've seen so far except the program seems very slow. I have 32GB of RAM and have created a RAM Disk. I can manually copy images to the RAM disk, then work on them, then save them to the hard disk when done. Is there a way to make this automatic. I've set my temporary files to the RAM - trust this does not mess things up for Paintshop as those files disappear when I shut off the computer - but ain't that the intent of "temp" files. I'm going to try to set the Cache to this RAM as well.

Re: RAM Disk
That's odd, I used to use a RAM disk for the scratch disk myself. So I know it works.
What version of PSP are you using?
As for the temporary files, thumbnail caches and the image database are saved there so if you don't use the organizer or manage modes you should be fine.

Re: RAM Disk
I have my cache on a RAM drive and it works fine. I did some time trials editing an image on a HDD and then the same one on a SSD and then the same one on a RAM drive and I could not see a differences. That is because once the cache is set to the RAM drive, all of the Layers are on the RAM drive. I do have to watch out for running out of RAM drive during an edit because when I delete layers they do not delete from the RAM drive. They do delete from the RAM when PSP X6 is closed, so I sometime have to save, exit and then go back in.
