SNS-HDR Forum

Well, as said, i am using VMWARE fusion to run SNS under MAC....3 minutes is normal for 7 brackets! , the big problem is the amout of RAM more than the delay!!

I have a MAC mini, i7, 2,7GHz, 16Gb RAM, ATI RADEON 256Mb RAM

The majority of photographers I know including my self use macs, I think you are missing out on huge chunk of business with no mac version. I'm am just trying to test the software and am finding it very difficult to even get the program loading on Paralles.

I think you are missing a huge market by not having it available for Mac. Almost every photographer I know uses a mac, including me. I would buy a mac version. Does it work through bootcamp?

sorry for the double post, didn't see the first on go through.

Yes, you are right, SNS take about 30s to load under VMWare, but just works fine....
It is a pain , because the virtual memory allocated isn't enough! So mostly I only load an HDR in SNS and not the brackets to save time and nerves!!

Has this thread totally died?
Just bought a new MacBook Pro (2.8ghz Intel Core i7, 16GB RAm), running Parallels 8 and Win 7 Ultimate.
A seven frame 23mp bracket takes 24 mins to process.
The same bracketed sequences takes under a minute in HDR Efex Pro 2, Photomatic and Expose.
Is running virtualized the cause?
Would running via bootcamp help?
Anybody else have any experience along these lines?

No other HDR tonemapping app comes close to the quality and interactivity of SNS-Pro, but 24 mins to proc 7 frames is debilitating.
Any newer plans for a port? It's been quite a while since the last post in this thread.

Thanks...

Just thought I'd post an update for what it's worth...probably old news to those familiar with Macs, even though information online is not forthcoming.
(I'm a Mac noob...)

On my new 2.8Ghz i7 16GB 1600 MHz DDR3 750GB SS MacBookPro virtualizing Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit via Parallels 8,
I was timing 7 bracketed 23Mp frames from my Canon 5DMKIII in SNS from file-load to displayed image at around 21 minutes.
I bootcamped Win 7 and now it takes less than 1 minute.
A native Mac version of SNS would be much appreciated and I'd pay to support the port, but bootcamp is undeniably the way to go.
Forget Parallels.

Cheers...

Sorry BrandonRiza , I cannot confirm this...maybe because I have a macpro 5.1 with 16Gb RAM...
I am running the latest Mountain lion version and I use SNS under VMWARE fusion 5
For 7 brackets - 17Mp , I need max 5 minutes to process

There is obviously a difference between an embedded i7 and a XEON processor.....

i can check if i also can't use them.
