    Silver FX Pro and large files

    I have been playing around with Silver FX Pro and found some use for it on small digital files. Today I decided to try it on a big scanned file................It works fine on files like 360 DPI at 16x20, but bump it up to 360 DPI and 30x40 and it completely freezes. W7 6 core 72 GB Ram, updated graphics driver, updated Silver FX Pro.

    Anyone have experience with this program on large files?
    Thanks,
    Kirk

    Well I take it back. It worked. I broke for dinner came back and it had run to completion. I just have to walk away for an hour and let it chug along!
    Thanks,

    Same thing happens to me, quite annoying! Sometimes it'll freeze completely but usually it comes around.
