3) Giving WebPainter more memory
WebPainter 3 has a default memory allocation of 7.5 Megabytes. Though the default memory allocation is usually enough, WebPainter can sometimes benefit from having extra memory available. This is especially true if you are opening more than one file at a time, or if you are creating large documents or more than document at a time. To reset the preferred size, select the WebPainter 3 application in the Finder and choose "Get Info" under the "File" menu. Type a larger number in the Preferred Size field.

6) Tips & Last Minute Notes
Memory Management
WebPainter is a memory-based program rather than a cache-based program. This means that the entire file
is loaded into memory, rather than just the parts you're currently working on. Therefore, you
should check the memory size allocated to WebPainter before opening large files.
QuickTime 3
There are some problems using QuickTime 3 with some options in WebPainter's vector mode. The problems
should be corrected when the next version of QuickTime is released. However, in the meantime, you may
encounter a message telling you to upgrade your version of QuickTime. This message will appear the first
5 times you launch WebPainter, and every 10th time after that.
When you attempt to change some vector settings that are not supported by the version of
QuickTime you are using, you may hear a beep and you will be unable to change the settings.
Also, some vectors may cause problems, for example, polygons with many curves and the star polygon.
The affected vector settings are:
-Closed and Open Frame fill settings
-Circle gradients
-Gradient objects located near the edge of the drawing
You may want to check our website on a regular basis to see if there are new versions of WebPainter or free updates.
