Cannot open 705 MB tiff file - Not enough memory

I have PS CS3 and am running a Dell precision workstation 690 with 4GB ram, 1.6GHz Xeon duo core processor, NVIDIA Quadoro FX 3450 video card. I have a tiff that is 705.4 MB and when I try to open it an error message pops up and reads: could not compelte your request because there is not enought memory (RAM).
I have gone into preferences/performance and moved the memory usage up to 70%. Do I really need to purchase more RAM for the computer?

John,
Try closing all your other apps and see if that helps, or reboot and try it before opening anything else. Use Photoshop->File->Open instead of Bridge to eliminate that as a cause.
Also, as Michael suggested, you need *lots* of empty disk space for Photoshop to open a file that large. I work with images that size a few time a year and have never had an issue, even when I had an old P4 with 2G RAM a couple of years ago. So your system should be up to the task. I've even worked (slowly) on 2GB images on the old P4 so your 4GB RAM is not the culprit. But I've always used an empty 2nd hard disk (my fastest drive) for Photoshop to use for its scratch disk.

  • ITune fails to burn large audio books:The iTune library file cannot be saved. There is not enough memory.

    Hi,
    I am trying to burn large audible audio book to virtual CD and iTune 11.2.2 keeps crashing midway. After spending hours trying to get information off technical forum, here is the description and possible explanation of what is happening:
    The burn start normally, iTune  create 10 tracks of 8 mn per CD.
    The burn progress pass 10 CD (up to 30 CD).
    The a message box with: "The iTune library cannot be saved. There is not enough memory" appears.
    In the back ground the process keeps going for another 2 or 3 CD then stops.
    This is NOT a memory problem:
    My computer still has over 100 Gb of HDD left
    On my i7, only 4 of the 8 core were used.
    The whole process didn't go over 3.5 Gb of RAM (out of 8).
    I reinstalled, iTune.
    I re-imported the files.
    I raised the processes priority to High.
    From the forums, This problem started past iTune 7.x and x64 bit processors whenever iTune used more that 1.5 Ghz of RAM.
    It does follow the behavior of a 32bit bit system going Out Of Memory.
    The way I see this: Apple has to either create a fix to reuse the current iTune memory properly or create an update to 64bit so it can use whatever RAM is available in the computer.
    Does anyone else have any other idea?
    For those who want to play lawyers, I am not American. In my country, it is legal to remove DRM off content that you legally own. The fact that Audible softwares were made by drunk monkeys is enough of a reason.

    Well, I installed the latest iTunes this AM, works perfectly.  Although for some reason it did lock up after playing a song today.
    Horror stories?  That's a bit overly dramatic.
    No, it isn't.
    The issue you are experiencing is one that has occurred in multiple versions of iTunes, a simple search would have revealed this.
    A simple search was conducted, no one seemed to have an answer.  Do you always adopt such a haughty attitude?  Or was I just lucky.

  • Why do i get the popup: The iTunes file cannot be saved. There is not enough memory available.

    Why do i get this popup on my Windows 8 PC: The iTunes file cannot be saved. There is not enough memory available. My iPhone will not play in my car since I got this popup.

    Can you play music on your phone, while not connected to anything?
    - If yes, check with support for your car. Maybe the radio cannot rexognize the iPhone anymore.
    - If no, check your pc for free space.
    I don't work with W8, maybe it denies iTunes the ability to write files.
    Think there has to be made some libary file for the files that are on your phone.
    Maybe you are able to download some files you bought in the store to your phone directly. Could try again in your car then.
    If you never bought a file, there is a free weekly song every week.
    Only have to fill out you membership details.

    Hello Pushtheriver,
    After reviewing your post, I have located an article that can help in this situation. It contains a number of troubleshooting steps and helpful advice concerning iCloud storage issues:

    This may also help:
    Understanding iOS device capacity
    You can sync and download many different types of content on your device. Some types of content (such as music and videos) typically take more space than others (such as notes and books). The amount of space taken by an app depends on the app's purpose; complex or graphically intense apps usually take more space than simpler apps.
    If your device is near its capacity, you can remove some of the less used content to make room for more.
    Thank you for contributing to Apple Support Communities.

  • IPod cannot be synced. Ther is not enough memory available

    When I try to sync my ipod i get an error that says "iPod cannot be synced. There is not enough memory available." I checked and I have more than half of my iPod's memory free. What can I do to fix this? I have glanced at a few somewhat related issues and they keep mentionin the iTunes upgrade. Is this true? If so, are they going to put out another upgrade??

    I've tried all these. I was hoping for some guidance..not some form you answer every question with. I already know how to trouble shoot. I don't think it's my ipod. I think it's my itunes..

    I just finished copying my CD collection across to iTunes, sunced and all was fine.  I then changed some of the track names and it came up with this message. Help?

    just67 wrote:
    Now taking into account that the body of the message also shows I had just synced the device with no problem and the only changes made thereafter were to the titles of a few songs, you can't be serious in telling me that it suddenly used 40Gb ?! ....or are you? 
    No .... But that should be a clue that changing the titles of the songs corrupted something .... Doesn't that make sense?
    You also said that you "tried the troubleshooting stuff". So what does that leave to try?  The "non troubleshooting stuff"?
    Did you try unsyncing all of the music and then try syncing it again? Or don't sync the songs that you changed the titles of and see if the message is still there.
    If the sync is successful, slowly add those changed titled songs back to the iPad and when you get the message again, you might be able to assume that one of those songs is corrupt.

  • When opening files "Not enough memory to load TIFF file."

    Mac just had a new build of OSX 10.6.8.
    Total memory 4gb of which over 3gb is free.
    Open any image gives a memory error "Not enough memory to load TIFF file"

    Open the linked tiff file(s) in photoshop, and resave with LZW Compression (OFF I Believe). I know you can place an lzw tiff adn usually works fine, but I believe i had this in the past and turned it off/chanegd the RLE settings and Illustrator was made happy. Also look for if the image is  photoshop >> image >> 8 bits/channel.

  • Photoshop CS2 Cannot read PNG files--"Not Enough Memory"

    Hi! I have a bit of a problem. I've scoured the interwebs for days but can't find a solution.
    My copy of PSCS2 was able to open PNGs in the past, but it just up and decided it doesn't want to anymore. I'm serious--I can't think of any major overhaul or anything I did to cause it, but now it won't read them correctly. It says there's "not enough memory," which doesn't really make sense, when I have a Macbook Pro and nothing running in the background. On top of that, the particular files I've been trying to open are barely 100kb. I've used canvases upwards of ten thousand square pixels in dimension with no problem.
    This is with any PNG file. It's not an "incorrect extension" problem, because I made these files and just need to reopen them to edit things.
    Here are some screenshots that show what's been happening; nothing exciting, but just in case someone notices something I don't:
    That's the picture I want to open.
    And that's what pops up.
    :/ I'm a little dumbfounded. Halp?

    Now, this is strange.
    I restarted my computer and now the message has changed--to a simple one, but albeit still confusing.
    Sigh.
    I didn't do anything but restart my computer.

  • Can't open file, not enough memory (RAM)

    This message pops up when I try to open certain files on Photoshop CS and it's ridiculous because I have loads of memory, and it previously opened much bigger files with no problem.  Sometimes it works if I close and open Photoshop and try again, but it isn't this time.  Please help...
    Thankyou

    I have discovered that the problem is that the TIFF files I am tying to open are 32 bit files.  There are several references on the Internet to Photoshop not being able to open these files   These are output files produced by the astro-imaging software Deep Sky Stacker.  Within DSS  I can save the 32 bit TIFFs  as 16 bit files which photoshop CS5 can open fine.
    Does anyone know whether Photoshop CS5 can open 32 bit tiff files at all?  Would it help if I could update my version of Photoshop (see update problem above)?

  • Opening PSD File - Not Enough Memory

    I created a sequence of images from Particle Illusion in a PSD format. When I open one of the images in Photoshop (CS3), it opens - no problem. When I try to open it in Illustrator CS3, I get the message "Not enough memory to place the file".

    On Windows XP 64, opening PSD files with Illustrator CS3 does not seem to work.
    What you can do to resolve this issue is to save the file as PNG in Photoshop. That can be opened in Illustrator and transprency is preserved.

  • Recovery EUL from EEX file - Not enough memory

    Hi,
    I have the following problem.
    I need to recover the EUL from a. EEx file.
    At the time of the import and 65 porcient, in step 3/4 an error "Not enough memory". and aborts
    The. Ex has a size of 2GB
    Anyone have idea why this happens?
    thank you very much

    Hello
    Your problem is exacltly as described, you are out of memory. Presumably you are logging in to Discoverer Admin and running the import from within the tool? Make sure you have no other applications open and make sure your machine has the maximum amount of memory installed as you can. If using XP you will need to make sure you have 4GB RAM, although XP can only address 3.5 GB.
    If this doesn't work then try doing the install from either the DOS command line or the Java command line. These have a much smaller footprint and I have known several instances where Discoverer Admin ran out of memory only for the command line to load it ok.
    Hope this helps
    Michael
