Ok guys I am trying to make a tut. w/ photoshop and it keeps stopping me from saving anything and or using a number of tools. It says that PS can not perform this action due to not enough memory (RAM), but I have like over 100 free GIG on my harddrive>>>??? any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks in advance.
okay. first of all- your harddrive isn't your RAM. you store stuff in your HD. the RAM is like a temporary storage spot. if it gets used up, it can't do anything that requires a lot of it. so i would suggest that you check your running processes in the task manager, and end the ones you don't need. make sure that you end only the ones that have your username in the username column. hope that helps NITROrevo!
If that doesnt work, try cutting the tut up into sections? Then you won't have one big piece taking up all the ram but smaller pieces being worked on at a time. Would that work? If not go buy a new stick of Ram.
ok ya that makes sense, I had several applications open so I could see that being my problem. I basically had a template psd. w/ multipal folders containing each step. should I make a seperate document instead of making folders for each step>? anyways thanks guys I knew I really liked this site, you are the only ones that have replied to me.........thanks again.........much appreciated!
ok if I up my memory usage which is currently showing 208MB out of 1023MB RAM in my Adobe Version Cue CS2 will this help get rid of the problem>?
It might... I had a problem once it was similar to yours but for some reason resetting the scratchdisk space fixed it :| When the error came up did it say it didnt have enough scratchdisk space?
no this one said there is not enough memory (RAM) to complete this task or something along those lines. So I'm taking it like it is my processing capabilities. I looke at it right before it prompted me the error and PS was workin at like 230,000+K just to let you know I am running on a Dell XPS w/ a 1GB of RAM, why am I having these problems, is there something I'm missing? also how can I tell what applications are running in the processing tab on windows task manager, I ended a couple and it screwed me all up, had to restart and then itr was fine, just wondering if there is a way to find out what exactly those are before I go closing them?
Ahhhh.. I see yeah it looks like photoshop wants more memory I think you should increase the memory usage a slowly then pop the problem should disappear unfortunately if that doesnt work I'm out of ideas if worst comes to worst re-installation of photoshop :| could work...
