Layered image presets load slooooooooowly.

Is it normal for layered image presets to take a long time to load?  We're talking 15-20 seconds.  (DS 4.8; 4.9)  Is there anything that can be done to speed that up?  Do the image sizes have a bearing on this?  What about the number of material zones the preset is being applied to?

    Yes, that's sounding pretty much normal to me. It doesn't matter if it's applied to one or ten material zones (while the numer depends on what LIE set you are applying; some just apply to torso, some to more).

    You could use a product like this to bake the material into : http://www.daz3d.com/lie-baker

    Alternately, you could use Gimp or Photoshop to merge the files, save them and load them manually into the material zone.

    Not sure if I want to bake anything, as this is for a distributable preset. But its good to know that I am not doing something wrong. I guess it just takes a while to gather the images and layer them?
