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.

All for now.
