The original artwork was an 11" x 17" scan at 600 dpi. I just opened a smaller picture that was 300 dpi and 26Mb in size with no problem. I wonder what the size limitation of the artwork needs to be at 600 dpi. I can open a picture 11" x 17" scanned at 400dpi in .jpg format but it does not like the same pic scanned at 600dpi! Looks like I will just have to keep the resolution down to 400dpi for large scans! The dpi and the physical size has to have something to do with it. I just didn't know what the limit was. Thanks for all your help. Jim

Originally I had problems opening a scanned file saved in PDF format then converted by Adobe Acrobat into JPG format. The error message I got was: "Not enough memory to load the image" I thought there was not enough memory so I added some (2GB)and got the same response. The specs for the files and PC are listed below: Image details was originally scanned at 600dpi, saved as a PDF file. Adobe acrobat converted and saved the file as a jpg and tiff formats. Neither was able to be opened with Paint.NET. Sample of file; Page_3.jpg Size: 1.39Mb (1,461,735 bytes) Size on disk: 1.39 MB (1,462,272 bytes) Width: 10200 pixels, Height: 6592 pixels, horizontal Resolution: 600 dpi Vertical Resolution: 600 dpi Bit Depth: 8 Frame Count: 1 I opened the above file with MS Paint (incl. with Win XP Pro) and resaved it as a jpg. The file size changed as shown below: Sample of file; Page_3apaint.jpg Size: 1.75 MB (1,838,392 bytes) Size on disk: 1.75 MB (1,839,104 bytes) Width: 10200 pixels, Height: 6592 pixels, horizontal Resolution: 96 dpi Vertical Resolution: 96 dpi Bit Depth: 24 Frame Count: 1 The same error message responded when trying to open the file. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The computer being used is a new Dell Vostro - VOSTRO 200 Slim Tower Intel Core 2 Duo CPU E6550 @ 2.33GHz 2.33 GHz, 2.99 GB of RAM (which is: 2 Sticks of 512Mb + 2 sticks of 1GB, PC5400, 677MHz RAM) 250GB hard drive Display: a Plug & Play Monitor on Intel G33/G31 Express Chipset Family wide screen (19") flat panel (monitor set at 1440 x 900 pixels, set at 32 bit color) Thinking that the format conversion (.pdf to .jpg) may have been the problem, I set up the scanner to scan the same file directly to JPG format and had the same problem. I would be happy to send you the file to see if you can open it. Any information you can provide would be extremely helpful. Jim

Is there a newer version coming soon? I have been reading about the problem opening larger files (after installing additional memory without success). Will a newer version address this issue. I have large files from my digital camera but am unable to open them with PDN. The largest scanned file (600 dpi) I have been able to open is about 450Kb. Larger files just won't open. I am starting to scan stuff at a lower resolution to see if I can open/edit them. Any insight or ideas would be welcomed. Thanks, Jim
