Pano hiccup

[Seesee]

Something occurred whilst editing and merging some pix into a pano couple of nights ago. Tried to merge 5 images together which all looked good until I tried to "save as"....kept getting a pop up stating I had insufficient RAM to do the task ? suggesting that I tick the baseline setting wjhen saving, did that and still cant save ? The file size was around 30mb and I've done a lot bigger pano files than that so nio idea why it wont recognize this particular pano creation. Just done a few others with no problem including one that was 12 images stitched

I assume you flattened the image layers and resized?

[Seesee]

Flattened yes, resized no......I wouldn't of thought this size would of mattered as I have done a lot bigger no problem....I'll try reducing the size and see what occurs, seems odd I may need to though....cheers Kym

I have a similar problem where PS CS3 holds a lot of data in the RAM, even after images have been closed. I'm running a Core2Quad processor and 4GB of RAM so the system is hardly the weak link.

My thoughts would be, did you do a lot of editing before you did the Pano? I find if I'm going to do a big Pano or HDR I restart PS and then it'll run great every time. That way it gives up the RAM it's holding onto and starts a fresh.

Good point. I'm using CS4.

Under CS3 restart the program, do the pano, save it and exit.

Col, How often do you delete the cache files from NX? I find that this program really hogs the memory when the cache is getting full. Everything slows right down and my patience levels start to dwindle and once i get rid of all the rubbish, the performance is loads better.

.Running dual core and 2 gig RAM but never been a problem until this image. Just tried it again and reduced file size considerably and it saved, but it's odd because this ones only small compared to some others I have just done.

No didn't do any editing before stitching in CS3, just opened the RAW files as were ...as I a have always done. I did do a restart but no difference....and I never use NX anyway, I only have that installed on my laptop, not my PC.

Seems like maybe it's cleared itself now possibly, just seemed odd....gremlins.

how much memory do you have for the scratch disk in CS3 ?
