Images Plus

I got a demo of this software and it only seems to run on one CPU. Does the full version use all available CPU's? It's so slow ......

[asterisk]

The full version is actually written for dual core computers. I have never used the demo version. I am using ImagesPlus 3 and it flies.

Cheers

Cheers guys. The author replied and each function is single threaded, meaning it runs on a single CPU. But you can run multiple functions at the same time making it multithreaded,

I guess I'm just doing things too slow for it to show an advantage on this multicore CPU/

heh.. What you need to do is photograph 2 targets per night and run multiple instances of ip and process both series of subs simultaneously.

That will give the cpu a nice little kick in the pants..

4 targets and 8 next year. Maxim is the same, everything is single threaded and it only uses 1 cpu. They aren't taking advantage of modern machines. At least Deep Sky Stacker and Photoshop drives all 4 CPU's.

i was so impressed to see dss, a freeware app running multi threaded.. What a little gem
