I have folders with 2000 files in them and it goes as quickly as with the one with 10 files. I certainly cannot say for all raw converters but Lightroom for one does not have this problem.
Can thoroughly recommend following this procedure. In any event, limiting the number also ensures the speediest processing conditions.
I have never had any problems - I store my RAW files in folders numbered, as an example, 1-300, 301-600, 601-900 etc where the files are less than say 10MB each - for larger files and 1-100, 101-200 if files are larger.

One problem with most if not all RAW processing software is mainly due users having far too many RAW image files in one folder.

The only trouble I've had with Photodesk on WinXP, Win7 or Mac is it crashes unexpectedly is have having number of pictures open in a contact sheet. It installs and runs fine on various machines I've installed it on. Click anywhere in the picture, and you'll see the colours change subtly.Kodacolor wrote: Not much help either. Set the Opacity to about 70%, and select Whole image.
Return to the hands image, and click on the Magic wand. You should see an orange-brown colour appear in the sample box in the Palette window. If you just click on a single pixel it can be hit-and-miss whether you get the colour you want. It's best to choose an area and average the colours in it, so hold down the Alt key and drag out a small rectangle over a sunsetty-coloured bit of the photograph. We can now 'pick up' a colour from anywhere we like. Click on the Syringe at the right of the toolbar, and your pointer will also change to a syringe. What colour to use? The best way to find out is to sample the sunset itself. We want to add a slight colour tinge, so select the Paint pot and from the pull-down menu in the Palette window choose Filter. Click on the Cross again, go back to the hands image and click on the Palette to return to painting mode. The colours are wrong - the hands are clearly reflecting bright blue sky, not sunset tones. Try it out (go into Montage mode and load the selection as described above): This will also make a better composition, with the plane flying into the welcoming arms. Open the image menu, and select Photodesk>Image>X flip. What else is wrong? The light: the hands are illuminated from the left, but the light in the sunset picture is coming fron the right. Click on Resize and fix ( Space) to confirm the change. Click on the Scale button, ensure Both axes and Bi-cubic interpolation are selected, and enter "2/3" into the By writeable icon:. Open the hands image's menu, and select Photodesk>Image>Resize. It should look like this:Įnsure the alpha channel can be written to If the pencil is orange, it means that this channel can be written to (ie changed). Ensure that all the channels have their Pencil icon selected - we want to do some operations on the whole image, and must ensure that the mask is affected as well. Go back to the hands image, and open its Channels window. Click on the Cross to get rid of the preview. There are several things wrong with this, which we'll now correct. You should get something looking like this (scaled for the web):. The image will only be rendered when you fix it, either by pressing Space or clicking on the Tick. It's important to realise that this is only a preview nothing has been drawn so far. If the hands aren't placed right, just drag them around. An outline will follow the mouse, and when you release the Select button the image will appear (providing the Copy: Preview icon is on). Now just drag the hands (click and hold anywhere inside them) onto the sunset picture. Open the Copy window menu, and load your saved selection ( Copy >Load from>#4 Alpha). Make sure the hands image is currently active (click menu anywhere over the image), and ensure you're in Montage mode. Load this into Photodesk, alongside the hands. Sunset over Chapel Allerton with Moon and plane This process is sometimes known as "defringeing" or "dematting" you can get a similar effect while you're actually making a selection by using the Feather option in the Copy window. This blurs the edges slightly and gives a much better effect when you paste it somewhere it ensures that edge pixels will 'blend' in colour with the destination. To fix this, click on the Grow icon this adds a small amount to the edges of the mask. When we come to paste it somewhere this will show up, especially if it's a contrasting colour. Notice how there's an unpleasant blue outline round the hands, caused by imperfect selection. Click on the Palette icon to go back to painting mode, then click on the Mask icon on the toolbar the Masking effect window will open. Now that we have a mask, we can do some useful and interesting things.
