Hi Jeff, 10 minutes is a long time for a 800 by 800 pixel image. Maybe you need to use a computer with more memory.
You can set the dpi in the argument to the png command to a lower value like 300 or 200 to speed up writing the png file. You can also turn off the casting of shadows: cmd.do("set ray_shadows,off"), which might save a few seconds.

This is the syntax that I am using from my bash script: image=800 pdb='my.pdb' # load pdb, split states, make image MacPyMOL -c -d " from pymol import cmd cmd.load('${pdb}') cmd.split_states('complex*') cmd.bg_color('white') cmd.draw(${image},${image});cmd.png('test.png',width=${image},height=${image},ray=1) " Briefly, it works well but the time of the production of each image is up to 10 minutes (in the case if I have many models in my.pdb). Is it possible to speed PNG, while keeping the same resolution of image (800x800)?
