Or, to rephrase the question:

What is the ASA of most digital camcorders? Is there a trick to finding it for a particular camcorder? I use the Vixia HF s10.

DivX codec… That’s an excellent insight. I might have had DivX installed at that one time when it worked.

Thanks Tim!

Thanks Mike. I know I should have figured it out, it was relatively easy, I just haven’t worked with CS2 before.

This option produces way better results than Streamline.

Richard,

Thank you for taking the time to explain all this. You are the best. The original’s composite was scanned at 72 – ergo the end result. Based on your conclusion with the bigger print I will try using Genuine Fractals to enlarge (probably X 2), see how it looks.

Thanks again.

I had a similar problem (I am assuming you’re referring to CS2 – otherwise it doesn’t apply). I upgraded the hard drive to big, fast and mostly empty, and video card to at leat 128MB.

Hi Jayse,

Your guesses may be totally correct “if” CS2 is requiring considerably more resources than was the case with the CS version. The CS version ran really smoothly.

I have about 22 % free drive space. Explicitly no processes in the background, not even the clock. I wonder if the video card, being relatively old model, is chocking on the 128 meg. I thought of switching back to the 32 MB card, actually, thought that would help.

Sounds like I have to do something, if it’s not the CS2.

I appologize for not giving full description of my system initially. I am running Win XP SP2, on an AMD Athlon 2100 (Pentium 4-equivalent), 1 Gig ram, couple of 80 Gig hard drives, with a 128 Mb. Radeon chipset (9200SE) video card, on which I updated the drivers.

I tried allocating different amounts of memory to the program under the “Preferences” menu; still the lag persists sporadically, mostly in that it takes “quite” some time between clicking on “File”/”Open” and then waiting fo the program to kick in and start opening the file.

Also at times, when trying to change tools on the tools pallete, the cursor actually disappears “behind” the pallete several times, until it magically appears normal again.

Weird.

Have you tried downloading the CS2 Trial Version from the Adobe download site? – If it downloads as a full [CD] file (CS did I believe), the purchased license download will also.

Manual-wise (some people are old-fashioned and prefer books or learn better that way) Adobe sells it for $20-30.

The online help Photoshop CS and its Help menu are all inclusive and absolutely superb for any troubleshooting and learning how-to. Check them out on the trial version and decide for yourself.
