Rick Brewster Posted October 7, 2005 Share Posted October 7, 2005 Is it a black and white (1-bit) TIF image? What are its dimensions?

Rick Brewster Posted October 7, 2005 Author Share Posted October 7, 2005 What is the pixel resolution? That image is probably at least 3800 x 4600 pixels, correct? Paint.NET converts everything to 32-bit internally. That means that a 1-bit black & white image takes up at least 32x the memory that it otherwise would.

Rick Brewster Posted October 7, 2005 Author Share Posted October 7, 2005 Sorry, but Paint.NET always converts to 32-bit internally, due to the way the application is architected. Because of this, the enormous image you're trying to load would require about 8 GB of memory! :shock: 29632 * 23951 * 4 * 3 = 8,516,592,384 8,516,592,384 / 1024 / 1024 / 1024 = 7.93 GB (!) The *4 is for 32-bits per pixel (and there are 8 bits per byte), the *3 is because we require 1 buffer per layer, 1 buffer for composition, and 1 buffer for scratch.
