minners71 Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 I am working on my image for the realistic vehicle comp, I started with a 800x600 canvas and resized it by 400% so that I could blur and shrink it down later. Problem is it is now 84 layers and although I can save it as a .pdn I cannot save as a .png or crop it both instances I get a window saying not enough memory to perform the task and if I try and resize it freezes at about 78% I am doing all this on my work comp as I thought it could handle it, obviously not. Any ideas ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pdnnoob Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 according to this formula, just having that open in paint.net takes about 2.5 gigabytes of RAM. You'll want about twice that if you are trying to flatten or resize the image. Just curious, but what are your system specs? If mine are any better, I might try it on my new computer (thanks qwerty! ^^). Theoretically, I have enough RAM to handle it... 1 Quote No, Paint.NET is not spyware...but, installing it is an IQ test. ~BoltBait Blend modes are like the filling in your sandwich.

midora Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 If memory is critical and flatten and save shows memory errors then you may use a tool like pdn2png. Because it loads one layer after the other and flattens immediately. So the maximum required memory size is just 3 times of the memory of one layer.

barbieq25 Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 Minners, sorry to hear that you are having such issues. Running out of memory is such an awful thing. There have been times when all I could do is take a screenshot of the image & work with that. So pleased you managed to work this out. Quote Knowledge is no burden to carry.
