Problems opening TIF larger than 500MB

Hi all,
I'm runing into some problems trying to open a TIF that is 600MB. I get the following error message:
Could not complete the Open command because there is not enough memory (RAM).
We are using Photoshop CS5 Extended 12.0.4 x64 on Mac OS X version 10.7.4. I've attached a screenshot of Activity Monitor displaying plenty of unused system RAM [1].
I've increased Photoshop's memory allowance (Photoshop > Preferences > Performance > Let Photoshop Use: 7277 MB (100%)), and I have an active Scratch Disk with more than 500 GB free.
Bridge reports the following re the TIF 14409 x 16209, 600 ppi, scanned on a KIP 3000. There's probably RLE compression involved, but I haven't confirmed that.
Any suggestions? Thanks for your time & trouble.
Cheers!
[1] Activity Monitor:

Are you running Photoshop CS5 in 32 bit mode or 64 bit mode.
The ability to use available ram varies according to the bit mode.
Photoshop version
OS version
Maximum amount of RAM that Photoshop can use
CS5, 32 bit
Mac OS
2.1 GB
CS5, 64 bit
Mac OS
As much RAM as you can fit in your computer
To check if you are running in 32 Bit, in the Finder click the Photoshop CS5 icon (the actual app not the folder) and Get Info
If the Open in 32 bit mode. you should deselect this, Close down Photoshop and reopen to run in 64 bit and be able to access more RAM

  • How can I get the "Open" and "Save As" dialog boxes to open at larger than their default size?

    How can I get the "Open" and "Save As" dialog boxes to open at larger than their default size?  I would like them to open at the size they were previously resized like they used to in previous operating systems.  They currently open at a very small size and the first colum is only a few letters wide necessitating a resize practically every time one wants to use it.  Any help would be appreciated.

  • Problems Transferring Files Larger Than 1GB Using SMB

    Hi All,
    I noticed that in 10.8.2, when I try to copy large files particularly greater than 1GB from my PC to my Mac using SMB (the PC is the one making the operation of copy & paste) , it fails to continue with the error message "There is a problem accessing \\COMPUTERNAME\SHARENAME. Make sure you are connected to the network and try again. However, when my Mac is the one doing the copy and paste operation, it continues without any problem. Any ideas why they behave as such?

    hi all,
    i just want to share that i upgraded some of my PCs to Windows8, and to my surprise, this problem is all gone and the copying is much faster! my other PCs that were left behind Windows7 still experiences the same problem. now i am confused if this is Apple's bad implementation of smb or it's a conflict between OS X and Windows7. can someone duplicate this problem between pre-Windows7 versions so that we can have comparisons. thanks and cheers to everyone!
    That's really interesting, because all of my machines are running Windows 8 Pro 64-bit and they all have this issue of not being able to copy large/sustained transfers... I don't have any machines running 7 to check if my issue is isolated to just 8 or not. Can you say what flavor of 8 you're running?
    I eventually just went to using SMBup which... 1. gave me better speeds then when I was using the built-in OS X Windows Sharing, and 2. Has been 100% reliable as far as transfers go... I can copy 10GB files with ease. The only issue with SMBup is the fact that Windows machines don't show up in the Finder like when you're using the built-in method.

  • Problem with blobs larger than (about) 2kb

    Hello,
    I try to insert binary files with java (jdbc) into tables in my 9i database, and small files with e.g. 500bytes are no problem, but files with 3 or more kbytes are not inserted yet. I got no sql-exception. It simply seems not written into my table.
    This is the SQL I used to create the table:
    create table tblblob2 (
    name varchar2(30),
    content blob)
    lob (content) store as glob_store (
    tablespace LOBSPACE_1
    storage (initial 100k next 100k pctincrease 0)
    chunk 4
    pctversion 10
    INDEX glob_index (
    tablespace raw_index))
    TABLESPACE LOBSPACE_1
    storage (initial 1m next 1m pctincrease 0);
    insert into tblblob2 (name) values ('Test')
    Before this I already tried a very simple create-statement, but it wouldnt work ,too. Thats why I tried this lob...
    And then I used java to update this row:
    DbConnectionHandling dbConnection = new DbConnectionHandling();
              dbConnection.connect();
              FileInputStream fis = null;
              Connection cn = dbConnection.connection;
              PreparedStatement st = null;
              try {
              File fl = new File( FILE ); // imgFile
              fis = new FileInputStream( fl );
              st = cn.prepareStatement( "update tblblob2 set content = ? where (name = 'Test')" );
              st.setBinaryStream( 1, fis, (int)fl.length() ); // imgFile
              st.executeUpdate();
              System.out.println( fl.length() + " Bytes successfully loaded." );
              } catch( SQLException ex ) {
                   System.out.println("0: " + ex.getMessage());
              } catch( IOException ex ) {
                   System.out.println("0: " + ex.getMessage());
              } finally {
              try {
                   if( null != st ) st.close();
              } catch( Exception ex ) {
                   System.out.println("1: " + ex.getMessage());
              try {
                   if( null != cn ) cn.close();
              } catch( Exception ex ) {
                   System.out.println("2: " + ex.getMessage());
              try {
                   if( null != fis ) fis.close();
              } catch( Exception ex ) {
                   System.out.println("3: " + ex.getMessage());
    With small files it works, but whats wrong with "larger" files?
    I need fast help...
    Thanks, Nick

    No Ideas? May it perhaps be a restriction of db-admin?

  • FCP 7.0 problems opening a large project.

    My FCP 7.0 suddenly got slow in opening. Took forever to open despite it having always opened quickly. I have a large project (about 115 minutes) but it still was opening OK until yesterday when it slowed down.
    I have done the following:
    1) Threw away my preferences and caches using Preference Manager
    2) repaired permissions (utility etc)
    3) Checked my Hard Drive - its OK.
    4) Re installed FCP 7.0
    Suddenly it didn't open at all. I get an error code  - 1712
    What the heck is going on? Can anyone explain please?

  • Problem opening tifs or psd's in CS6

    When I double click  a tif or psd image  in Bridge 5.0.0.399, the image occasionally comes up blank in CS6 13.0, yet I can see layers of that image. Whats going on?

    Or wait for Apple to release a new OS update, since Mac users don't update drivers separately (or has something just changed on that front)?
    Argeekay, try this:  Go into Photoshop - Preferences - Performance, and look in the Graphics Processor Settings section.  Click the [Advanced Settings...] button and try the other modes (e.g., Normal, Basic), making sure to quit and relaunch Photoshop after making any change and before testing.

  • Problem opening large PSD files

    Helo, We have 5 designers sharing design files across a windows network. Everyone is running  photoshop CS6 cloud subscriptions (which have auto updated to 13.0.1).
    The team have created and opened PSD files fine since July. Over the last 3 weeks we have had 5 files so far become unopenable - we get the message: “could not complete your request because the file is not compatible with this version”. Could it be that they are too large? The problem files are larger than the rest at around the 1GB mark. We are running HPZ210 PCs with Windows 7, solid state drives for the software, regular HDD for the data, and 16 GB Ram. One file at least was housed on a hard drive as well as the server and neither the local or network version of the file opens so it doesn’t seem to be a server issue. Five people on different subscriptions and computers have tried opening the files to no avail. Files were working ok one day, then not opening the next. Anyone know of any possible fixes, or whether the files are just too large?
    cheers, Liz

    Hey Curt, thanks for replying so quickly. I found the guff below re PSB, will check out this and the pixel counts with the team and post back.
    cheers, liz
    PSB is a file extension for an image file used by Adobe Photoshop. PSB files are a large document format similar to a PSD file but for a larger image size. The largest image size supported by a PSD file is 30,000 by 30,000 pixels.
    PSD file support has to be enabled in Photoshop's Preferences pane first, then PSB files can be saved at an image size up to 300,000 by 300,000 pixels. PSB files can be opened by Adobe PhotoShop CS or later. PSB files can be exported as TIFF for compatibility with other software.

  • New Photoshop CS6, 27" iMac, Opens too Large

    New iMac 27", new Photoshop CS6. Just opening. It opens much larger than my screen so can't get to bottom R to rescale Photoshop and save it.

    Do you have all the updates for CS6?  Retina display support came out with 13.0.3 according to this JK blog post.

    If you already have that update, Google how to use Retina display support with Photoshop.

  • Problem opening large .Tif files

    Hi...this problem is really frustrating. Preview will not open some large .tif
    files (they're saved on Photoshop CS5 on a PC, with lzw compression).
    The program just displays a grey screen...no error message.
    When I email the images, no preview appears in Mail.
    Is this a known problem with Preview in Snow Leopard, and can I do
    anything about it?
    Any help appreciated....

    OK, I can verify that the file doesn't display in Safari or Preview, so it's not just you. From the error messages in the log, it seems that the built-in rendering routines see the file as corrupt. It does display correctly in QuickTime Player 7, GraphicConverter, OpenOffice.org, and LightZone. You'll either have to use another application to view the files, or get the author to save them in a different format. You can also file bug reports with Adobe and Apple, for all the good that will do.

    Part of me thinks that this doesn't actually have anything to do with mail. I had problems with Safari and Finder crashing every time I they tried to open a PDF. This was partially solved by installing Adobe Acrobat Reader and designating it as the default PDF veiwing app, but this option didn't appear when I ran Mail for the first time after installing Reader.
    At this point, I've repaired the disk and repaired permissions, but that's about as much as I know how to do. I'd be grateful for any help that anyone can offer.
    Thanks!

    Hi Sam.
    I don’t know what’s going on. I suggest reinstalling the Combo Update for the type of computer and the version of Mac OS X you’re using, unless this is the version of Mac OS X that came with your computer:
    About the Mac OS X 10.4.8 Combo Update
    Mac OS X 10.4.8 Combo Update for PPC
    Mac OS X 10.4.8 Combo Update for Intel
    Take a look at the following articles for guidelines on how to properly install system updates:
    Troubleshooting installation and software updates
    Installing software updates
    Basically, you should verify/repair the startup disk before installing the update (which you say you’ve already done), no applications should be running while installing it, and you may experience unexpected results if you have third-party system software modifications (not normal applications) installed.

  • Cannot open a db file larger than 2GB

    Hello,
    I have an Oracle Express Edition 10g running on Redhat Enterprise Linux 4 server.
    I have an Oracle database file which is 2.1 GB in size. I am not able to open this file using the application or the Oracle sql developer. The error message that I get is:

    ORA-27041: unable to open file

    I think this has to do with the fact that since it is not a 64-bit Linux but a 32-bit Linux, it does not support files larger than 2GB. What do you think I should do to tackle this problem?

    ThayalanThat's interesting! I had no problems with opening files 32767MB in size on the very same 32 bit RH EL 4.0. How did you conclude that your file is too large, based on the error message which reads "Linux Error: 13: Permission denied"? Have you tried reading the manual page for the "open" system call and see when does it return EACCESS (error 13), found in /usr/include/asm-i386/errno.h. My man page for open says the following:
    ERRORS
    EACCES The requested access to the file is not allowed, or search per-
    mission is denied for one of the directories in the path prefix
    of pathname, or the file did not exist yet and write access to
    the parent directory is not allowed. (See also path_resolution(7).)
    What lead you to the conclusion that your file is too big? Do you have an access to a system administrator who knows how to use "strace"? If your system admin doesn't know how to use "strace", he too deserves waterboarding.

    And I got the following warning message: "Items rel. to cash disc. Total 750 larger than open items amounts total of 500u20AC".
    This is because system is calculating a discount base for vendor of 750u20AC [ 500u20AC  from vendor + 250u20AC from VAT).
    This shouldn't happen because I have in customizing (company code global data) selected the option "Discount base is net value" so system should calculate the discount base without the VAT amount.
    Do you know why is this happening?
    Best Regards

    So you want discount to be automatically populated when the open item is eligibile for discount?
    There is automatic account assignment for this. Goto OBXI- give the gl account and posting key here.
    This should take care.
