Digital BW, The Print

Keith, I'm on a mac, so don't know if this plugin affect's pc computers.

I have a huge amount of memory dedicated to photoshop, 800 mg.

I haven't noticed any slowing down of filters, but maybe I haven't used
the filters it slows down. The computer would freeze an average of 45
minutes after working in photoshop. It hasn't froze since I removed the
plugin. It always froze as I was doing retouching with the clone stamp
and moving the mouse. After cloning many times, such as removing dust,
the screen froze, always when I was moving the mouse. SO I had to save
VERY often, just to be safe. The only time the computer ever froze was
in photoshop. Not only 7, but in 5.5, 6.01 too.
