Adjust Photoshop 7 memory usage for large files
Authored by: spiff on Aug 28, '03 01:26:04PM

1 Gb photoshop images? That's not that difficult to do. All you need is a large image (say ~300 Mb) which is easy enough to do with present-day scanners, and then start fiddling with them. PS needs room to create before and after states, etc. Think the old comment was that you need ~3x the am't of memory in PS as you do for the largest file you'd be editing.

PS is a monster. Can bring any machine that I've used to its knees, regardless of processor power.

This was my hint, my login didn't work right so it went in as anonymous. I am network administrator for an ad agency that does everything from coupons to large format graphics. Large format (everything from posters to billboards) files get very, very large.

I just had a user that complaining that her new MDD G4 with 2G of RAM was slow.

Turns out, she wanted 10'x8' posters at 150dpi, with 28 layers. Photoshop's memory usage was ~9G.

I told her to stop :).

Layers?
Authored by: SeanAhern on Sep 01, '03 12:00:32AM

How about using hundreds of layers on a very large image? That would eat up the space pretty darn quickly.
