Help:
Using Photoshop 7 with large images on an dual G4 1.4 with 10.2.8. Diskwarrior finds no serios issues.
In some not reproducable cases the parts of the image i.E. stripes are moved around after saving.

Any hints?

Perhaps it is time to revive the thread on how one can split up PS files and operate on reasonably sized portions. What kind of image do you have that justifies a 2gb image file? 4000spi 4×5" transparencies?

Like colored stripes (usually thin strips) that appear on normally fine images? This is in my experience a sign of data corruption caused by slow HD throughput (basically the information is being squeezed to it too fast for it to handle). You aren’t, by chance, saving these files to an external hard drive are you? Last time I had a simmilar problem I was running a Mac clone (OS 9.1) and trying to save to an external FW drive hooked up to a PCI firewire card. Somewhere in that chain there was a read/write speed issue that caused data corruption on files over 70 MB. There’s no solution that I’m aware of except breaking your image down to smaller file sizes. HTH.

Get a Windows machine?
Yes it’s well known that Windows machines NEVER have any problems.

Since no other users are seeing such problems without it being tracable to a hardware or driver issue, I’d suspect that your hard drive or RAM has a problem.

I will run Intergrity tonight in order to verify bad ram or worse. Report coming soon…
