Okay, as I understand this works faster beacuse/if the image isn't shown during processing.
The problem is, my images are opened manually and then the appropriate macros are started. So in the beginning the image is displayed and when I start the macro under this condition the batch mode has no effect anymore.
Perhaps I will find a way to open the image from the macro, which is not an technical issue but a handling problem.
Thank you,
