guido47 Posted June 2, 2010 Share 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick Brewster Posted June 2, 2010 Share Posted June 2, 2010 A 1-bit image will expand to 32x its size when loaded in Paint.NET. And that's after decompression, mind you. The reason is that Paint.NET homogenizes all images to be 32-bit RGBA.
