im getting an error when trying to open a PSD, its about windows not having enough RAM to perform the operation. I'v never had this problem before and i have a gig of ram, any suggestions why this might happen? perhaps its a compatibility issue between me using photoshop 6.0 and hte PSD having been made in photoshop 7 or cs or cs2?
Is enough RAM going into PS? Go to Edit>Preferences>Image & Memory Cache. Then, raise the memory percentage higher, which will make PS faster, but other programs slower...It's good if you just have PS open though, as everything will run smoother.
i reinstalled it at least 3 times, and mine still has the slow problem like i have 256 ram even tho i got a gig
It could be a compatibility error, since I'm not sure if Photoshop 6.0 can open files from versions after it. I've only used CS2 and CS3 so I'm not sure. If re-installing it doesn't work, and you're sure you've got enough RAM, then it's probably a compatibility problem. You could contact Adobe via their website and ask them, but that could take a while.
