slow digitizing off scanned images in corel 11

[KKG]

Am running a P4 3Gg Hz 1 Gg RAM on Intel Mainboard, Asus video card, in windows XP.
Digitizing off scanned images (topographic detail), becomes progressively slower and proportional to the number of nodes in the page. Until after around 10minutes of "heads up digitising", I have to close corel and begin again. It feels like a "memory leak".

How many nodes are you talking about? There's just some times when there ain't nothing you can do about it.

Like some arcinfo files i've converted are killer slow because they have the road system of our entire province.. reducing nodes or detail on the roads speeds redraw up considerably.

But if you're talking under 10,000 nodes like it sounds...then you're right - there's just something wrong.

Dog is my co-pilot.

thankyou so much for replying. I tripped over this site and wasnt sure if it was a dud.
Anyway...definitely under 10,000. It starts slowing down when a line contains under a couple of hundred nodes.

A couple HUNDRED?

hmm. That is seriously wrong.

Make sure you have a lot of HD space available on C: and D:

if not - try the same thing on another machine... that's just odd.

If you have photoshop installed - make sur it is not running at the same time.
do a d-frag. and a reboot.....

try it again...
