Richard,
I must be confused because I find your statement "[g]raphics processing
demands resources that are orders of magnitudes greater than most people
are used to using" curious, at best. I'm running only a 9 MB Amiga here
and I have yet to run out of memory on ADPro or any of the other graphics
programs I have. This in 24 bit mode. Now, I can picture a few reasons
for my confusion, so I thought I'd enumerate them.
One, I'm not reaching the high-end. What _are_ you doing with all that
RAM? Am I missing something here?
Two, the machines, the Mac and the Indy, require many times more
resources to accomplish a transformation. That doesn't quite make sense,
especially if a transformation is involved. Shouldn't the machine
dedicate itself to this particular task?
Three, as a matter of convienence, are you keeping massive amounts of
images in memory at the same time? Why is this significant?
As I stated, I must be missing something here if the minimum
configuration is as you state.
Brian
