Problem/Question

My Snapshots, also known as Image Previews, are taking too long to load, what can I do to load them quicker?

Here are the settings to check.
  1. In the Tools/Application Defaults menu, go to Snapshots
    1. Increase the cache memory setting ( Double it to start )
    2. Lower the "High resolution snapshot size" setting ( Try 1MB to start )
  2. In the Tools/Application Defaults menu, go to Extras
    1. make sure " Wait timeout for creating print job preview" is set to 0

All of these settings should help you snapshots ( Image Previews ) load faster
