It seems to me, that the great feature
working with multi-light in Photoshop for macuser isn´t really
operable.
Trying to open files with 5000x3500px takes awfully long
without any status dialog.
It would be very helpful if there´s a bit-depth-dialog as like in windows.
I guess opening a mxi-file will be faster, isn´t it?

In the meantime, is there any workaround?

Internally, the MXI is 32-bits, different output bitdepths doesn't changes the loading time (maybe a little bit, but I can't even say right now which is faster, 8, 16 or 32). The data you have to read from file is always the same.

Thank´s for your reply!
O.K., I understand.
So it´s common that´s the loading time needs round about 20 minutes?
No workaround?









Photoshop CC, Maxwell 3.0.0, OSX 10.9.2, Mac 2x 2,66 GHz 12core, 28 GB RAM,

MXIs loading is not just read a file, it requieres a proccess to obtain the RGB image, so using EXR/TIFF/PNG etc will be always faster. You can save images from MXIs using MXI batch processing option from Maxwell, and load them in PS instead of MXIs.

batch processing? that's a great idea!
thank´s a lot!

corneliuz, it's loading long because most probably you have simulens enabled

you are right, that could be the reason...

kami told solution, to have simulens and 32bits in PS you need to export tiffs from maxwell.
