Lightroom 5 permanently runs out of memory

Lightroom 5 on Windows 7 32 Bit and 8 Gigabytes of memory (more than the 32 Bit system can use) permanently runs out of memory when doing some more complex edits on a RAW file, especially when exporting to 16 Bit TIFF. The RAW files were created by cameras with 10 up to 16 megapixel sensors with bit depths between 12 and 14.
After exporting one or two images to 16 Bit uncompressed TIFF an error message "Not enough memory" will be displayed and only a Lightroom restart solves that - for the next one to two exports. If an image has much brush stroke edits, every additional stroke takes more and more time to see the result until the image disappears followed by the same "Not enough memory" error message.
A tab character in the XMP sidecar file is *not* the reason (ensured that), as mentioned in a post. It seems that Lightroom in general does not allocate enough memory and frees too less/late allocated.
Please fix that bug, it's not productive permanently quit and restart Lightroom when editing/exporting a few RAW files. Versions prior to Lightroom 4 did not have that bug.
P.S. Posting here, because it was not possible to post it at http://feedback.photoshop.com/photoshop_family/topics/new It's very bad design, to let a user take much time to write and then say: "Log in", but a log in with the Adobe ID and password does not work (creating accounts on Facebook etc. is not an acceptable option, Adobe ID should be enough). Also a bugtracker such as Bugzilla would be a much better tool for improving a software and finding relevant issues to avoid duplicate postings.

First of all: I personally agree with your comments regarding the feedback webpage. But that is out of our hands since this is a user-to-user forum, and there is nothing we users can do about it.
Regarding your RAM: You are running Win7 32-bit, so 4 GB of your 8 GB of RAM sit idle since the system cannot use it. And, frankly, 4 GB is very scant for running Lr, considering that the system uses 1 GB of that. So there's only 3 GB for Lr - and that only if you are not running any other programs at the same time.
Since you have a 8 GB system already, why don't you go for Win7 64-bit. Then you can also install Lr 64-bit and that - together with 8 GB of RAM - will bring a great boost in Lr performance.
Adobe recommends to run Lr in the 64-bit version. For more on their suggestion on improving Lr performance see here:

  • Lightroom 1.1 still running out of memory

    Last night I downloaded Lightroom 1.1. Unfortunately, it's still running out of memory. Interestingly, the out of memory message was upside down. Task Manager was reporting that LR was using 1.8GB. My machine has 4GB, so I'm not sure what the problem was.
    I'm running Windows XP w/SP 2.
    Jay

    32bit apps usually can only access 2Gb of memory. Their address space is 2Gb. There are techniques that allow 32bit apps to access more than 2Gb of memory, known as AWE, but I seriously doubt Lr has something like that.
    That could be the cause: LR was using 1.8Gb of memory, so it sounds certainly possible for it to get out of memory errors.
    BTW: does Windows recognize the 4Gb of memory in your machine? IIRC, you could make it see up to 3Gb, but not more.

    thanks

    You can't use icloud to store photos.  There's a service called photo stream which is used to sync photos from one device to another, but this can't be used to store photos permanently.
    Always sync photos from a device to your computer,  Then you can delete them from the device.
    Read this...  import photos to your computer...

    Either of these should help.

    Or search 'disk size' in the App Store.
    Be carefull with what you delete & have a backup BEFORE you start, you may also want to reboot to try to free any memory that may have been written to disk.

  • How can I avoid running out of memory when creating components dynamically

    Hello everyone,
    Recently, I am planning to design a web application. It will be used by all middle school teachers in a region to make examination papers and it must contain the following main functions.
    1)Generate test questions dynamically. For instance, a teacher who logs on the web application will only see a select one menu and a Next Quiz button. The former is used for determining the number of options for the current multiple/single choice question. The later is dedicated to creating appropriate input text elements according to the selected option number. That is to say, if the teacher selects 4 in the menu and presses the Next Quiz button, 5 input text form elements will appear. The first one is for the question to be asked such as "1.What is the biggest planet in the solar system?", the others are optional answers like a)Uranus. b) Saturn. c)Jupiter. d)Earch. Each answer stands for an input text elements. When the teacher fills in the fourth answer, another select one menu and Next Quiz button will emerge on the fly just under this answer, allowing the teacher to make the second question. The same thing repeats for the following questions.
    2)Undo and Redo. Whenever a teacher wants to roll back or redo what he has done, just press the Undo or[i] Redo button. In the previous example, if the teacher selects the third answer and presses the Delete button to drop this answer, it will delete both the literal string content[i] and the input text element, changing the answer d to c automatically. After that, he decides to get back the original answer c, Jupiter, he can just click the Undo button as if he hadn�ft made the deleting operation.
    3)Save the unfinished working in the client side. If a teacher has done half of his work, he can choose to press the Save button to store what he has done in his computer. The reason for doing so is simply to alleviate the burden of the server. Although all finished test papers must be saved in a database on the server, sometimes the unfinished papers could be dropped forever or could form the ultimate testing papers after several months. So if these papers keep in the server, it will waste the server computer�fs room. Next time the teacher can press the Restore button on the page to get the previously stored part of the test paper from his own computer and continue to finish the whole paper.
    4)Allow at least 1,000 teachers to make test papers at the same time. The maximum question number per examination paper is 60.
    Here are my two rough solutions,
    A.Using JSF.
    B.Using JavaScript and plain JSP[b] without JSF.
    The comparison of the two solutions:
    1)Both schemas can implement the first and the second requirements. In JSF page I could add a standard panelGird tag and use its binding attribute. In the backing bean, the method specified by the binding attribute is responsible for generating HtmlInput objects and adding them to the HtmlPanelGird object on the fly. Every HtmlInput object is corresponding to a question subject or an optional answer. The method is called by an actionListener, which is registered in the Next Quiz commandButton, triggering by the clicking on this button in the client side. Using JSF can also be prone to managing the HtmlInput objects, e.g. panelGird.getChildren().add(HtmlInput) and panelGird.getChildren().remove(HtmlInput) respond to the undoing operation of deleting an optional answer and the redoing operation of the deleting action respectively. I know JavaScript can also achieve these goals. It could be more complex since I don�ft know well about JavaScript.
    2)I can not find a way to meet the third demand right now. I am eager to know your suggestion.
    3)Using JSF, I think, can�ft allow 1,000 teachers to do their own papers at the same time. Because in this scenario, suppose each questionnaire having 60 questions and 4 answers per question, there will be approximately 300,000 HtmlInput objects (1,000X60X(4+1)) creating on the server side. The server must run out of memory undoubtedly. To make things better, we can use a custom component which can be rendered as a whole question including its all optional answers. That is to say, a new custom component on the server side stands for a whole question on the client side. Even so, about 60,000(1,000X60) this type of custom components will be created progressively and dynamically, plus other UISelectOne and UICommand objects, it also can�ft afford for most servers. Do I have to use JavaScript to avoid occupying the server's memory in this way? If so, I have to go back and use JavaScript and plain JSP without JSF.
    Thank you in advance!
    Best Regards, Ailsa
    2007/5/4

    Thank you for your quick response, BalusC. I really appreciate your answer.
    Yes, you are right. If I manually code the same amount of those components in the JSF pages instead of generating them dynamically, the server will still run out of memory. That is to say, JSF pages might not accommodate a great deal of concurrent visiting. If I upgrade the server to just allow 1,000 teachers making their own test papers at the same time, but when over 2,000 students take the same questionnaire simultaneously, the server will need another upgrading. So I have to do what you have told me, using JS+DOM instead of upgrading the server endlessly.
    Best Regards, Ailsa

  • I want to use Meteor app but run out of memory.

    Is there a way I can store data on the cloud, so freeing up memory to work on any given app? I run out of space all the time. I use lots of apps in different media so
    can I say, do some work on one app then save the files to the Cloud, then reload later when I need it. Basically, I feel I should only Keep the apps on my iPad, then on each separate app save the work as I finish for the day to Keep my memory uncluttered? Any help would be appreciated. I spent lots on apps but run out of memory. Thanks.

    Only if the individual Apps support saving to the cloud. Otherwise no. There is no user access to the iCloud storage area.
    Its only there for backups, and data syncronization between certain Apps that support it.

  • I have a file where I am running out of memory can anyone take a look at this file and see?

    I am trying to make this file 4'x8'.
    Please let me know if anyone can help me get this file to that size.
    I have a quad core processor with 6 gig of ram and have gotten the file to 50"x20", but I run out of memory shortly thereafter.  Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks,

    Where to begin? You should look into using a swatch pattern instead of those repeating circles. Also, I see that each circle in your pattern is actually a stack of four circles, but I see no reason why. Perhaps Illustrator is choking on the huge number of objects required to make that patterns as you haave constructed it.
    Here is a four foot by eight foot Illustrator file using a swatch pattern. Note that, despite the larger size, the file is less than one 16th the size.

  • My mac's run out of memory and I can't find the culprit!

    Hi, I'm in serious need of some help! I'm sure this is simple, but I'm about to break down over it – I use my mac for everything. I've got a 200gb 2009 macbook (running iOS7), and it's told me it's run out of memory. The storage tab in 'about this mac' tells me 108GB is being used for video – but I can't find them! My iPhoto has about 17GB of movies, my iTunes has around 20GB, and I've got maybe another 10GB in files within finder – but that's still only half the videos my mac is saying it has? How do I find the rest? I've got 80GB being used by 'other' as well – is that just pages and numbers documents, along with the iOS? Is there a way of finding exactly what all my memory's being allocated to?
    I've got the entire mac backed up on an external hard drive, but I'm terrified of deleting anything from the mac in case that fails. I plan on getting a second external HD, but even then I think I'll be too worried (I've heard about so many hard drives continuously failing). How does anyone manage all their stuff?!?
    Thank you in advance, for any help you can offer.

    Just a slight correction to start, you're not running iOS 7. You're running a version of OS X, iOS is for mobile devices like iPhones and iPads. To find out which version OS OS X you're running click the Apple menu at the top left and select About This Mac.
    This http://pondini.org/OSX/LionStorage.html should help you understand "Other".

  • Oracle 9i running out of memory

    Folks !
    I have a simple 3 table schema with a few thousand entries each. After dedicating gigabytes of hard disk space and 50% of my 1+ GB memory, I do a few simple Oracle Text "contains" searches (see below) on these tables and oracle seems to grow some 25 MB after each query (which typically return less than a dozen rows each) till it eventually runs out of memory and I have to reboot the system (Sun Solaris).
    This is on Solaris 9/Sparc with Oracle 9.2 . My query is simple right outer join. I think the memory growth is related to Oracle Text index/caching since memory utilization seems pretty stable with simple like '%xx%' queries.
    "top" shows a dozen or so processes each with about 400MB RSS/SIZE. It has been a while since I did Oracle DBA work but I am nothing special here. Databse has all the default settings that you get when you create an Oracle database.
    I have played with SGA sizes and no matter how large or small the size of SGA/PGA, Oracle runs out of memory and crashes the system. Pretty stupid to an Enterprise databas to die like that.
    Any clue on how to arrest the fatal growth of memory for Oracle 9i r2?
    thanks a lot.
    -Sanjay
    PS: The query is:
    SELECT substr(sdn_name,1,32) as name, substr(alt_name,1,32) as alt_name, sdn.ent_num, alt_num, score(1), score(2)
    FROM sdn, alt
    where sdn.ent_num = alt.ent_num(+)
    and (contains(sdn_name,'$BIN, $LADEN',1) > 0 or
    contains(alt_name,'$BIN, $LADEN',2) > 0)
    order by ent_num, score(1), score(2) desc;
    There are following two indexes on the two tables:
    create index sdn_name on sdn(sdn_name) indextype is ctxsys.context;
    create index alt_name on alt(alt_name) indextype is ctxsys.context;

    I am already using MTS.
    Atached is the init.ora file below.
    may be I should repost this article with subject "memory leak in Oracle" to catch developer attention. I posted this a few weeks back in Oracle Text groiup and no response there either.
    Thanks for you help.

  • Running out of memory building csv file

    I'm attempting to write a script that does a query on my
    database. It will generally be working with about 10,000 - 15,000
    records. It then checks to see if a certain file exists. If it
    does, it will add the record to an array. When its done looping
    over all the records, it takes the array that was created and
    outputs a csv file (usually with about 5,000 - 10,000 lines).
    But... before that ever happens, it runs out of memory. What can I
    do to make it not run out of memory?

    Sounds pretty inefficient to me. Is there no way you can

  • Running out of memory with Tomcat !!!!!

    Hello gurus and good folk:
    How can I ensure that the a JSP page that sets a ResultSet doesn't run out of memory? I have set the X flag to j2Se to be 1024mb and still runs out of memory! The size of the data being queried is only 30 MB. One would think the JDBC driver will be optimized for large ResultSet. Any pointers will be very helpful.
    Many thanks
    Murthy

    Hi
    As far as i believe, 30 mb data is pretty big for an online app. If you have too many rows in ur resultset, you could(or should) consider implementing paging and fetch x records at a time. Or you could just have a max limit for the records to be fetched(typically useful for 'search and list' type of apps) using Statement.setMaxRows(). This should ensure that Out of memory errors do not happen.
    If your data chunk per row is large, consider displaying only a summary in the result and fetching the 'BIG' data column only when required(e.g. fetch the column value for a particular row only when that row is clicked).
    Hope this helps !

  • Running out of memory on iPhone

    hi all,
    when my Flash app is just getting started on the iPhone 3G, it runs out of memory.  I see this in the crash report:  "Count resident pages" is "11727 (jettisoned) (active)." 
    How do I prevent this?
    If it's relevant, my app has lots of graphics and audio, and I'm guessing it's all being loaded upfront.  But it's presented sequentially, so maybe I can just load one set of assets at a time.  Is there some way to break it up?

  • Running Out of Memory Since Yosemite

    Let me start by saying I was originally part of the Yosemite Beta and was running into the same issue.
    After running my system for >20-25 minutes a menu pops up and says I've run out of memory and it has paused my programs.  Looking at my Activity Monitor, it says my Mail is running at 64+ GB of memory.  When I restart my system, Mail ranges from 64 MB - 120 MB, then it some how creeps up to 64 GB and crashes.
    When the final release of Yosemite was released I did a complete clean install, thinking that maybe that was the issue.  Tonight I received the same error.  After searching online I didn't really find anything of help.  I'm hoping someone in this community can help.
    Thanks.
    My System:
    rMBP- 2.6 GHz i7 - 16 GB ram - 1TB SSD

    I'm having the exact same issue, on both a  2013 MacBook Air, and on a 2009 iMac. I've used activity monitor, and can observe the mail app increasing in memory usage from 200mb during normal conditions to a sudden rise to 60+GB. Same activity monitor screens as in this post. If I force quite the mail app, everything returns to normal, but this happens at least once every hour.  So my assumption is that 1) yes it is the mail.app, 2) it's happening to quite a few people, 3) it's happening on a range of recent as well as older machines, 4) it was introduced with Yosemite, 5) it's not a "plugin" as someone suggested in other posts, 6) no help from clearing cache, clean installs, deleting preferences or container folders in the library.
    I would lIke to think Apple will address this issue, but find it alarming that someone in this thread has raised 12 tickets about it in beta without receiving a response. For those of us affected, we might be in for a long wait.
    Apple, please help!
