I import a high resolution (more than 6000x6000 pixels) into Illustrator while designing. This makes Illustrator operations a little slow. Similar thing happens when you use some stipple shading brush strokes.
Does it has to do something with RAM? Would upgrading RAM solve it?
Also, if I place the assets like high resolution JPGs, PNGs, other vetctors in SSD, and THEN import them in Illustrator, would it improve the speed of Illustrator (Like zooming/panning, less lagging etc)? Currently I use assets from Hard Drive.
My laptop specs: i7 8th Gen processor, 8GB RAM, NVIDIA 940MX GPU.
3Tip: there's an option under the View menu I think (I forget where exactly) where you can stop displaying images (I think there's also an option to turn down the resolution they're displayed at in the interface). A good workflow is, have this option on while working, so Illustrator becomes fast again, then switch to full resolution when checking everything looks right. – user56reinstatemonica8 – 2019-05-07T09:37:03.440
I'll definitely try this. Anything you know about RAM and performance? – Vikas – 2019-05-07T16:45:36.267
@Moderators I'm not getting answer here. Is it a wrong SE to ask this question? – Vikas – 2019-05-08T05:03:30.843
