Maximum image size
The maximum image size that can be processed without problems is about 7500 x 5000 pixels, that is 37,500,000 pixels.
There are a number of factors that can affect the maximum image size that the program can handle.
System RAM size.
Free disk space available for virtual memory swapping.
Operating system policies on memory allocation. Windows NT / 2000 / XP allow larger images than Windows 95 / 98 / ME.
The display driver can also play an important role.
Number of undo steps or undo limit that the program stores. Set undo limit to a lower value to save memory.
Number of simultaneously opened images.
Number of running programs.
