GC encounters high CPU temperatures

[eligurwayne]

I'm using GC for 10 years and as my skills improve the program becomes easier and yet the demand on the cpu is high. So is PREVIEW which uses even more memory and cpu.I use these in re construction of images.The MacBook can get very hot at times. Is there a way to keep it cool, is a external fan an option? Or cpu paste, fan other?

Hello,what do you do exactly? I get here no fan speedup with my MacBook Pro.Can I get a sample file and the steps?Thorsten I'm using GC for 10 years and as my skills improve the program becomes easier and yet the demand on the cpu is high.

I suggest that you install iStats Menus and use a speed curve other than Apple's default, which I believe is too conservative. I installed iStats Menus on my Retina MacBook Pro for that very reason. As a result, the RMBP runs much cooler. iStats Menus provides you with the ability to independently control the speeds for the left and right fans. <http://bjango.com/mac/istatmenus/> I have no financial interest: I am merely a satisfied, paid-for-license user.

I have been using pad called a TheraPak for years.  It is passive and keeps your computer and your lap cool.http://thermapak.com/products/heatshift ... ler/forget the fans - i went through several - they are nosey and don’t last…dvd On Feb 14, 2015, at 11:29, eligurwayne@yahoo.ca [gcmac] <gcmac@yahoogroups.com> wrote:I'm using GC for 10 years and as my skills improve the program becomes easier and yet the demand on the cpu is high.

You didn’t provide your Model (MBP?), CPU, Memory or HD (SSD?). The older the CPU, the smaller the memory and the type of HD (+Speed if not SSD) the hotter it’ll run when working. I also use a small App called “Memory Diag” that’ll allow me to compress/free up memory when I’ve got a few things (like Safari) running in the background. You also need to breakout “Activity Monitor” to figure out exactly which Apps and “Kernel Tasks" are stealing CPU. You can also track “Energy Impact” of those apps.Good Hunting!Take Care///DominickOn Feb 14, 2015, at 6:01 PM, Wayne Eligur eligurwayne@yahoo.ca [gcmac] <gcmac@yahoogroups.com> wrote: From: Wayne Eligur <eligurwayne@yahoo.ca>To: "gcmac@yahoogroups.com" <gcmac@yahoogroups.com> Sent: Saturday, February 14, 2015 3:45 PMSubject: Re: [gcmac] GC encounters high CPU temperaturesopen image in preview or Gc set size to 72dpi and 138 x 138sharpen, and color basic controls,Save Imageopen in ColorSync adjust parameters save as 'best'repeat in ColoSync and Preview, while using, [color wheels' black and white point] twice more; there will be different black and white points each open and save round.Trying to do three color additive filter sets to decode... one image and final Profile.Then use just all GC features in order ..brightness with curvecolor balancehighlights shadowsequalizerHistogram Gamma Correctionunsharp maskenhance local contrastsharpen edges diagonal and mainplug in filter, mean 3x3channels/frames - optimize blue channelFilter XE 847 manual adjustSize to pixel countCore Filtersmotion blur radius 1.77; angle of 1.76 [on first pass]then do blur radius 1.26; angle of 252 [on second pass]Noise reduction Sharpen one or two passesColor Adjustment color controls exposure adjust gamma hue adjust white point.Alpha Channel  un pre multiplied to multiplied flatten channelsave image 99%open in Previewfine tune color of image once or twice more finished productGC is superb at decoding NASA ESA and any image released to the public.

The App PREVIEW does dominate the memory I have the idea to upgrade to SSD I have an 09 MacBook 5 GB RAM I use free memory Pro but it takes time to free the memory once apps. have it bound up - and sometimes the RAM is run all the  way down to 20 MB !!  before any can be given up.

Dear Wayne,how much memory do you have?Do you really want a result of only 138x138 pixel?Thorsten . 

[Richard Ball]

Thorsten,As far as I can understand he is downloading images at sizes up to 4095 x 4095 pixels and then up sampling them to 9936 x 9936 pixels. So he is working with files with 4 times as many imaginary pixels as real pixels on a machine that is undersized for the job (only 5GB of memory).  It is nor surprising that the cpu gets hot and, deepening on what else it is doing, being slow or even crashing. The minimum memory size for what he is doing would be 8GB and better at 12 or 16.Rich On Feb 15, 2015, at 4:37, Thorsten Lemke lemke@lemkesoft.de [gcmac] <gcmac@yahoogroups.com> wrote:Dear Wayne,how much memory do you have?Do you really want a result of only 138x138 pixel?Thorsten.
