Forums Forums Enthusiast Forums A - Z Gadgets & Tech Help on editing large images

This becoming a bit of an obsession with me.
Knowing next to nothing about working with imaging progs etc I need some advice.
I'm hoping to get more maps and do them as the pics here.
My pcs keep throwing up message "not enough memory" when working on them in Paint, Adobe Photoshop CS5/6 and Serif Photoplus X6

1 original Red drinks map tiff - 182 mbs

Red drinks map as B&W tiff - 56.6 mbs

2 Red drinks map as B&W gif - 12 mbs

3 what I want to do on 2 or better still do name of pub instead of a number


4 1950s map stitched to gether- 162 mbs

5 hope to be able to colour in and name pubs and churches + possibly schools

My computers info
If no worthwhile upgrades may treat myself to this (will this do the job)but am open to suggestions for better one that will do what I want within that price range
Maybe a new build

You seem to have a better spec PC than mine and mine copes ok with graphics in Paint shop Pro X3. Are you working on the images in their original file name? I would try duplicating the images and change the duplicates to jpeg and see what happens then.

Hi,

If your working with imaged that are 180 meg in raw format then yes your computer will need an upgrade.

What you have is not enough, you can try increasing your page file memory, this is an immediate fix to the error your getting.

In the long term, a solid state drive, 8gb ram or more and an i5 or better is what you need I have a few for sale if interested let me know.
