Okay, let’s say I’ve been using CS2 for a day or so, doing various things. This morning:
1. I close all the images I’ve got open and open a scanned JPG image. It’s a 2-1/4" square image at 2400 DPI which, after minor cropping, is ~73 MB.
2.I create an Adjustment Layer for Levels and make the necessary changes.
3. I save it as a .PSD file with the 2 layers
4. I try to save it as a .JPG file. I get the dreaded "Insufficient Memory to save …" message.
5. I close Photoshop and reopen it.
6. I load the saved .PSD, flatten it, and successfully save it as a .JPG
Okay, I know that Photoshop caches some stuff, so I’ve set the Cache Level in Preferences to 2 instead of the original 6. I’ve told the program to use all of the available memory (100%) which it calculates as 907MB (it’s really a 1GB memory but I guess Win2K doesn’t allocate all of it to programs).
It’s obvious that Photoshop would have had sufficient memory to do the original save (#4) if the program’s caches had really been empty as they were when I reopened it. Is there anything I can do between images (or while I’m editing an image) to empty the caches or am I stuck closing and reopening the program. This is especially important because I’ve been screwed being totally unable to save an image in any format after working on it for a while.
TIA
