Need Help Creating a Large Poster or Banner in Photoshop?
I am creating a large campaign poster (3'x6') in Photoshop, but I appear to be constrained by my computer's processing power. My computer is quite new, and runs graphics intensive programs like Starcraft 2 without a hitch. However, when trying to design this poster, every slight movement takes several minutes to load.
The project is 3'x6' and is 300dpi. How do designers get around this? I somehow doubt everyone owns a supercomputer!
Thanks in advance.
Creating a Large Poster or Banner eh?
It's absolutely impossible by any of the computers which exist in market.
(I tried it myself 1 year ago)
But! there is exception.
It's really expensive, but graphic card for professional can handle the huge picture.
(the price was about 10times expensive than the normal graphic card)
