Jennifer Posted April 10, 2016 Share Posted April 10, 2016 Hi Damien - I was working on a jpeg image in ACR (raw not available on the underwater camera I was using) and got the following error message (1st image). Called Dell (bc I have premium support through them), and he updated the driver. After it was updated, I went back to bridge to pull up the same image, and I got another error message (2nd image). I hit ok and went to the camera raw preferences dialog and got the following options (3rd image). I did indeed click on use graphics processor. Seems to be working now, but my first question is - is all this ok? 2nd question while I'm in this menu - under the general section - there's a box that says "apply sharpening to all images" and the scroll down option is to "preview images only." Which one should I have checked? 3rd question - under the camera raw cache, it has the max size set to 1GB. I thought I read somewhere that if you lower this, it will speed bridge up - not sure if I read it here or somewhere else. Should I leave this where it is? Thanks!

It's absolutely fine to leave all Graphics Processor stuff turned off. 2 minutes ago, Jennifer said: 2nd question while I'm in this menu - under the general section - there's a box that says "apply sharpening to all images" and the scroll down option is to "preview images only." Which one should I have checked? I think it should be on "all images". I don't think it's a good idea to have a difference between preview and output, if you know what I mean. 4 minutes ago, Jennifer said: 3rd question - under the camera raw cache, it has the max size set to 1GB.

How many hard drives do you have on your computer? I have left my cache at 1GB, but made a cache folder on D drive instead, so it doesn't interfere with the programs running on C drive. I don't know how technically correct this is, but it seems to work ok for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Seagate barracuda is an extra installed hard drive (which Brian had suggested when I purchased the computer components) and then external portable dell. I am probably not using the barracuda correctly (or as Brian had intended), and I work on my files on the portable Dell. So maybe that is the problem of Bridge running somewhat slow for me.

External drives are for archiving and backup only. They're not fast enough for working from. Only use internal drives for live jobs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jennifer Posted April 10, 2016 Author Share Posted April 10, 2016 Good to know. So should I keep them on my seagate or my actual c drive while I'm working on them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted April 10, 2016 Share Posted April 10, 2016 Is the Seagate internal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jennifer Posted April 10, 2016 Author Share Posted April 10, 2016 yes - i installed this extra internal hard drive after I purchased the PC from Dell:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted April 10, 2016 Share Posted April 10, 2016 Great, then that's the one I'd use for the working files. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
