1. Re: Elements 8 & processing power
99jon Feb 19, 2011 1:58 AM (in response to Glenans)I don’t think elements makes any great use of the GPU, relying mainly on the Intel multi-core chip. As it’s a 32 bit program the amount of RAM it can utilize is also limited.
If you have more than one internal hard drive you can allocate the second drive as an additional scratch disk. Elements will then use that when memory gets low. You can also increase the amount of RAM allocated to Elements but don’t go above 90% as you need to run other programs.
Go to Edit >Preferences >Performance
Then check the items under Scratch Disks, as appropriate.
