When I go to apply an artistic filter or most other filters CS says I do not have enough RAM. I have 2gb of memory and all other programs inclusing Premiere Pro work fine. Also, no other apps are running when I get this message. Any suggestions? Thanks.

That is one answer :D, what about the size of the image? Could you list a filter that works and one that does not?

It means scratch or pagefile space not physical RAM.

How much space is available on the drive used for your PS scratch file? If there isn’t enough space for the scratch file, you will run into out of memory conditions.

Also, some of the filters and plugins run in their own memory space outside that of Photoshop. What percentage of memory have you assigned to Photoshop? If it’s too high, there isn’t enough left for the OS and other programs, such as filters and plugins.

Rich,

What % memory do you have allocated to Photoshop? Try reducing it.

Have 50% of RAM for PS. Have tried more and less. 24 gig free on scratch disk. 10 gig free on c drive.

All sizes. I can use some limited filers like Sharpen without it saying not enough RAM. But most filter return the error message.

PLEASE give us specifics about the images and the filters you are using.

There is no way that "most" filters would give that error.
