I know that you have special technologies to get 'real time' feedback and indeed its not too bad on my 1.7Ghz P4 (2Gb RAM). However the window updates leave a lot to be desired. It seems that you are doing some very weird kind of window placement. Maybe you arent buffering the windows or something. Dragging any window, even the tool palette etc. is slow and jerky.
Maybe you can have the preview window double buffered as this seems to be the culprit. The overall impression is maybe falsly that silverfast is a very slow product (even though its fairly fast at processing images). The window also always seems to be in focus, in that the densitomter is always measuring even if the silverfast window is not selected. The densitometer is measuring from the silverfast window not the foreground window.

angelman,

I'm surprised to hear this - I have a similar system, and SF v5.52r15 runs very quickly for me. What OS are you using? If it's 98 or ME, you may want to reboot and see if you're still having that problem. It sounds like that, or maybe you just have way too many apps open - easy to do when you have such a powerful system.

When the preview is rotated, the updates are slower because we don?t buffer the rotated preview (yet). We will try to fix this in the future.

I am using W2k and no the image is not rotated in anyway.
I am using the demo version... waiting for the full version to arrive...
I have tried the demo on two seperate machines. One has a matrox g440 the other a geforce4600 graphics card.
One is a version attached to a nikon scanner the other is just running HDR. I am using 48bit images mainly.
