I believe it should work with Dynamic Areas but I use it with Dynamic Areas switched off. It uses the wimpslot space instead. To achieve this, edit !Photodesk.!Run to say: Set PhotoDesk$DynamicAreaSize 0 instead of the default - Set PhotoDesk$DynamicAreaSize 256 I also have the Photodesk image cache set as 131072K (128MB) Icon bar Menu > Preferences > Image Cache but it could be larger if you want it.
