Not enough memory to load? in Paint.NET Discussion and Questions Posted June 2, 2010 Dear Group, I have been using PaintNet for at least a year, but today I scanned an image at 1600dpi (B/W - 1 bit) with a resultant file size of about 30MB. When I tried to edit it in PN I got the message "not enough memory to load image". My machine has 2GB RAM and "oodles" of spare Disk space. I retried the scan at 1200 DPI. Same result. 300 DPI is fine and is what I have been using up till now. So I was wondering what the correlation is between file size/resolution etc. and what PN can handle? Is there some sort of "internal" cache or something? Your newbie to the PaintNet forum, Guido.
