 p.1 #1 · How fast does photoshop run on your computer? | |
For pure interest sake to see how your photoshopping system stacks up against others, there is a quick benchmark:
Procedure:
File >> New:
8000 x 8000 pixel
72 pixel/inch
sRGB 32bit
Background contents white
Filter >> Noise >> Add Noise:
Amount = 100%
Distribution = Gaussian
Uncheck Monochromatic
Now here is the bench mark to time:
Filter >> Blur >> Radial Blur:
Amount = 100
Blur Method = Spin
Quality = Best
Click OK and time the process.
Notes:
(1) I found that adding the noise (or any other content) didn't significantly change the radial blur time. However, having the noise there does help for your to see that the filter actually worked when you stop your stop watch.
(2) I was surprised to find that going from sRGB 8bit to 32bit only increased my processing time by about 2x. I decided to make this benchmark pretty intense so that in the future few years when this poll is archived, we can still use this benchmark for comparison.
(3) The radial blur filter is a processor intensive filter. On CS4 it is well multithreaded (I'm not sure about other versions of photoshop) and can use all your cpu cores and virtural cores. I am not sure if CS4 utilizes help from graphics processor for this filter.
(4) The 8000x8000 32bit image will take at least 800mb of RAM so if you have less than 2 gigs of ram, this benchmark is probably not for you.
(5) I am very very interested in seeing how photoshop on MAC compares with PC with similar processors. Please list your computer hardware specifications if you know them. (e.g. PC - Core2 Quad Q6600 @ 2.67Ghz with 4 Gigs DDR800 Ram - Benchmark: 6:00 min)
