Filter Forge - 40 minutes for render?

Active Topics Search

jeromee Posts: 2	Hi I read other posts about slow rendering but should it really take 40 minutes to render a 5.53mb 12mp jpg using the analogue filter? I really like the filter but that seems so sluggish. I have tried it in CS5 and standalone with the same results. Thanks!! J

Njyldgarkn init/prepare process x no. of render blocks x no. of passes

Even just a few small fixes could save you minutes with an image that big. If you don't want to print it then I'd suggest just use a smaller image
