Can photoshop running on a windows XP Pro system effectively use more than 2 gigs of memory? I see references to only partial use of the second 2 gigs.
Thanks,

I can't imagine why you would want to allow Photoshop to use two gigs of memory. If you have that much RAM, my advice would be only allow Photoshop to use a portion of that memory. I personally don't let Photoshop to have much more than 600-700 mb of the 1.5 gigs of RAM I have.
It may be due to the size and resolution of the image that more RAM is needed. But, I don't think that use of 2 gigs of memory is not an everytime requirement or maybe he is working on such projects.
Well I had made a poster for a company on A2 size and while working on it, it took nearly 3 gigs of memory))) Try CS3, it's more economical.
I have also noticed that Photoshop CS uses much memory for operations. It takes much time to load, and after doing some operations, it is really slow. Can anyone sort the problem?
Use Teh GIMP ;).Quote:
