Hi there,
Am addressing this to the PS forum because that is where the problem is seen; but it may the problem is somewhere else.
My computer is a Dell 9200, Core-duo, 2 x 250gb hd and 3gb RAM. Have a 6gb scratch on the second hd and performance is set to 70% RAM usage.
I scan 6x7 transparencies, saving them as 16 bit, 130mb files. I tweak in PhotoShop CS3 and frequently use a PS plug-in called CurveMeister. When I run CurveMeister on a separate layer, I always get a 'Unable to complete the operation, out of system memory (RAM)' message.
When I have finished my adjustments I save the file with the longest dimension at 420mm (about 133mb file size) or crop to A3 (99mb file size.) This is my hero file.
Running CurveMeister on a layer with either the 112 or 99mb file, the plug-in flies.
So what is likely to be going on that creates this issue with a larger file?
Grateful for any advice,
Many thanks,
Rex
