How hard can it be?

I have finally got around to getting an album design program in preparation for the multitudes of weddings that will come my way if I sit in the office for long enough...

So, in preparation and with much anticipation I installed the program, registered it and started to work out a plan...

Firstly I dragged a file from a previous wedding onto the desktop. Then I worked out how to convert the files from RAW to JPG and now I'm waiting, waiting, waiting while Photoshop does its thing with the files... I've done a couple of loads of washing and may still have time to go to the shop and get a coffee before the process completes...

Before you tell me to upgrade the computer - I already have 4Gb of RAM, a high speed scratch disk and I've played with the memory available to Photoshop...

And this is before I have even opened the album design program... At least I am working out the post production steps that are required to do this accurately (and as quickly as possible) in the future...

I can't wait to see the end result - I'm off to get a coffee!
