I am using Paint Shop Pro for a collage and it is awful..so slow .. I had to do it rather quick and am more familiar with psp ..or would have done it in Photoshop CS2 Neb

Is photoshop good when working with large files?


Generally, yes. Photoshop is fastest when working exclusively in RAM, and you need RAM equal to about 5x the file size to achieve that. However, it makes efficient use of scratch disk space, which helps a lot on larger images.

Sorry it's a vague answer, but it was a vague question! Much depends on your system, Photoshop version & set-up, & what you're trying to do in Photoshop. Sorry I can't offer any comparison with Paint Shop Pro, as I've never used it.
