Filter Forge - Not enough memory

Active Topics Search

Faustyna Faustyna Posts: 3	When I try and save a larger image (7500x3750) after putting a filter on it, Filterforge slows, freezes, and crashes. I get a message that I am low on memory. If Firefox is open that crashes as well. I have an SSD with 40GB free. Smaller pictures work. I have the professional edition and it says it can deal with pictures up to 65000x65000. This happens on the latest version of 6 and in the 7 beta.

Because it will not use all your RAM unless you configure it this way Go to Tools > Options > Rendering and increase maximum RAM usage to 90%. 2 - What filter are you using that crashes? Or it happens with many filters? 3 - What CPU and graphic card do you have? 4 - How are you using when it crashes? Is it standalone or as plugin? Or both?
