total hdd space on the drive where psp is installed is around 13gig

I jus noticed that psp is running really really slowly, when selecting layers, adding filters changing tools etc..hmm..i cant understand this at all

Only one way to find out: close all other programs, disable your memory-resident programs like MSN and your pretty cursors, if you have a big pic as your desktop background, turn it off. And then see whether it will let you go past 103 layers.

I just checked on mine (PSP 7.04), and it only lets me go up to 100 layers (background+99). So your 103 is strange. Probably it's just time for both of us to move up to Photoshop

lol db - i was just thinking the same thing ^.^ (ps is haaaaard tho!

lol)

well, i managed to get it down to a measly 9 layers lmao, so now i can start work on it again - hopefully i'll post an update later

Darling... you can hardly complain about things running slowly with Windowblinds...

Swap space? Dunno.

for some reason my PSP goes very slowly when I have selections made of any kind :\ but as for layers...well I can't really see needing even 100. thats like a layer for each pixel...

(exaggeration; slight)

hmm, I don't know. SHAG has got 77 layers, and I imagine that if I was using a whole lot of 3d effects/shadowing, etc. I'd need a lot more...

When I have large selections, PSP goes slowly on mine too.

if u have a large selection but dont need to see its marquee, then id hide it under the selection menu. it wont take up any cpu then.
