Aye, if that's the case though, PaulJS, then perhaps I should introduce Pumeco to my good friend... KPT Equalizer! It "renders" almost instantly, no matter your file size. Only problem is it's old-school, from KPT-6, and has a native GUI resolution of 800x600. Still, I use it on nearly every image I ever publish, or finish. Now THAT is "professional". Or whatever!
