Not enough RAM-Memory even to sharpen my images in CC??

This has never happend before, Photoshop CC says I don't have enough RAM to even sharpen my images with Smart Sharpen. This has never happend before in CS3 or CS6. I have always been working with my CR2-files from an Canon EOS 5D MARK II camera, and it doesn't even work now if I make my images smaller.. My computer is a gaming computer from dell, and I have Windows 8.. Please help..!

Ok, I didn't crop any of my images. ( I have used "image size" under "image" and I did made them smaller)

  • Not enough Ram memory in photoshop -please help

    Hi
    When I try to save any of my work in photoshop as a jpeg (not large files-even only 5Mb size ones) it comes up with an error message saying not enough Ram to save. IM using windows xp, I have 2.5Gigs of ram, 100Gigs free space on C drive and 100gigs free space on my other drive (J:).  I have checked the scratch disk prefernce and allocated 65% of ram to memory. I have also made my J: drive the number one scratch disk and C:drive as number 2. I have defragged my computer, and made  sure no other programs ar running at the same time when im using photoshop. i have checked for viruses and spyware...and it still wont save....can someone please help i dont no what else to so?

    What is a "scratch drive"?
    How do I make sure there are not large temp files on it?
    How do I make sure the RAM allocated to PS in PS Preferneces is not to high?
    A "scratch drive" is one of your hard drives (C:\ if you only have one) that PS uses to write to as an extension of normal memory. It is needed even if you have lots of RAM.
    In PS, if you go to Edit > Preferences > Performance, you will see not only the amount of RAM allocated to PS (which should be in the recommended "Ideal" range) but also which scratch disks are nominated.  With more than one hard drive, it is best not to have the system disk as scratch.
    With PS closed, you can then look in Windows Explorer to check if there are any large temp files left on that drive and delete them.

  • Not enough RAM Memory

    I've been using my Photoshop Elements 9 for a long time with no problems.  I use it to edit only and do not save or store photos in Elements nor do I use the organizer.  Today, while trying to open photos on my iMac with Elements for editing, I'm getting a message while on the Elements screen saying I don't have enough RAM Memory to complete the action.  I'm having no problem adding photos to the iMac, but can't open them in Elements.  Is this an Elements issue or an iMac issue?  Suggestions for a fix?

    First try resetting the prefs: quit the editor, then relaunch it while holding down command+option+shift. Keep the keys down till you see a window asking if you want to delete the settings file. You do.
    If that doesn't do it, what is the situation with your computer? How much ram do you have? Does About this mac>more info indicate all the ram you thought you had?

  • Not enough Ram memory and cannot save due to a program error in photoshop cs6

    Hi, I'm currently a beginner at photoshop cs6, and I've been using it since december last year, mostly to draw stuff and it has worked fine with few to no errors at all.
    However, recently when I've been drawing, the same message keeps popping up over and over again "Can't use (tool) due to the computer not having enough ram" followed by either "cannot save due to program error" or, it just simply crashes.
    This is obviously a something that worries me A LOT since at first, I thought that it was just a small error, but recently, it's been like this for several day s and I've been forced to re-start the computer (and photoshop) countless times... It really slows down my working progress and is VERY annoying to deal with.
    As a beginner though, I don't really know how to fix this. I've been trying to look up some answers on this site, but I've just not found any answer yet...
    I'm currently using photoshop cs6 that's up to date and I've got lots of memory left on my computer, so, I'm wondering. What exactly is the cause of this problem, and how can I fix it? Please answer as fast as you can.. I'm getting a bit desperate...
    Oh, in case you're wondering, they're all saved as PSD files and every single one of them has about 15+ layers on them.

    It would help if you could list a few things:
    1. Your operating system
    2. How much physical RAM do you actually have in your machine?
    3. Under Preferences > Performance, have you allocated "Scratch Disk(s)"?

    I am trying to save an illustrator file (39in by 27in), usually it won't save, but when it does a dialog box says I don't have enough memory. I've saved files of this size before without any issues. Please help!

    We can't know. We know nothing about your system, your file, your version of AI. Most likely this simply relates to an appearance effect trying to render for the updated embedded preview in the file, so turning off PDF compatibility may resolve the issue. Otherwise check for anything that may cause rasterization.

  • Safari hangs: not enough program memory, while 90G HD and 4G ram, OS re-installed, removed files etc. (mac book pro, leopard)

    Safari hangs direct after starting up. Rainbow bol rotates around one hour after which a message is shown: "not enough program memory"
    More than 90G free on HD, even removed more files and installed OS and programs again. Nothing helps.
    Help

    SIG, thanks for your reaction. After reading my question again I understand it was not clear.
    The reason I mentioned the 90G free HD space was the information I found on internet about my problem in which it was assumed there was not enough RAM memory and the processor uses the HD for SWAP files?
    In any way my problem is still there and I like to add some information:
    MACBookPro OSX 10.6.7, 2.4 GHz duo, 4GB DDR3 RAM, L2 cache 3MB, 250 GB HD (90 GB free).
    What I have done untill now:
    Re-install OSX plus programs
    Reboot in safe mode (cold start with shift C pressed)
    A number of reports generated after a forced Safari stop were send to Apple. (by the way what are they doing with these? besides not helping me?).
    Just today I learned where to find the Safari cache file's which I will empty when I am back from work tonight.
    I hope, with this additional information you have some more suggestions. In any way I will come back with the result of emptying the Safari cache.

  • Could not use the Brush tool because there is not enough RAM? Photoshop CS6?

    That and I couldn't even save a project I was working because (There was not enough RAM)
    My computer is running Windows 7 with 4 (3 usable) GB Ram, Pentium Dual Core; @ 2.00 Ghz
    -I have allocated all possible RAM to CS6
    -I set 6 scratch disks (the first two are 1TB external HDD)
    -I fixed the file peeling so that there is quite a bit of it
    - I have Photoshop CS5 still installed (it works fine) as well as Elements 9, I don't know if that could be a problem or not.
    I like the new features of CS6 especially the new 5000 px brush, but half the time I can't even use it because of this problem! What can I do to fix it?
    I mostly use it for digital art so the pictures get to be at most 5000-3300 pixels. I get the problem mostly when I use brushes at 5000 px. CS5 works just fine and it uses the scratch disks I emplace, it seems as though CS6 doesn't even use them.

    Obviously, you are running Win7 32-bit OS. Is that correct?
    What are the full specs. of your Windows Virtual Memory, the Page File? What is its size, location, and is it static, or dynamically managed?
    With a 32-bit OS, I would set the Page File to a fast, internal, physical HDD, set it to be statically managed, and size it to about 2.5x the installed RAM (~ 10GB in your case, and with a 32-bit OS).
    That should provide more resources, and by being statically managed, save you CPU cycles too.
    I also agree that you do NOT want to allocate all RAM to PS, as the OS needs some too. That will be counter-productive.
    Good luck,

  • Getting "could not...because not enough (RAM) often

    Hey guys, I think  my Photoshop CC 64 bit has something wrong with it. Maybe it was one of the updates I've done. I have windows 8, intel i5 4th gen, 16 gb ram and a junk graphic card at work. I just turned on my computer for the day and opened my file which is big, I've been working with files this size for years, 1.5gb and smaller. This file says it's 1.14gb in photoshop. I opened this file did a few things and now it won't save becase "not enough (RAM).
    In my task manager it tells me my photoshop is using 563.2mb of memory. In photoshop I have 10,917mb allocated for it to use. I have 535BG of free space on my hard drive and I have an external USB SSD drive plugged in that I'm using as another scratch disk. This has been happening a lot over the last month. I haven't installed anything new and this morning the only things I have open are outlook, Photoshop, Lync (internal messenger for work) and word with one doc open. Photoshop has the one file open. I have the new 4th gen processor with GPU on it, not sure if I'm set up right for that or if that would even be related to this problem...any suggestions?

    OK.  So you are stuck because you need to save your file, and can't close Photoshop or restart the computer until you have done so?
    What do you see in Preferences > Performance?  How much of your 16Gb is available, and how much are you using? 
    Is that external SSD still marked as scratch space?  I believe that you have to reinstate external drives as Scratch space every time you restart the computer, unless those drives are mounted.
    How much Scratch space is allocated?  You are going to need a huge amount of Scratch with a file that size.
    What do you see in Task Manager > Performance tab?  How much RAM is used?
    My best guess is that your problem is insufficient Scratch space, and that external drive is no longer allocated.  Check the above and come back.
    Good luck.

  • CS5 "Not enough scratch memory available" error when there's plenty of it.

    Illustrator CS5 throws this error:
    Adobe Save For Web AI Error
    Could not complete this operation. There is not enough scratch memory available.
    OK  
    when trying to save for web. The content has a lot of linked images, around 1000x1000 px each, used with clipping masks, drop shadows and glows at 300dpi.
    I realize that this might be hard to flatten for JPEG and I'd be fine with long processing times (which I get) but out of memory?.. Here's my config:
    Illustrator CS5
    Windows 7 x64 Ultimate
    Intel Core i7 920
    6GB RAM
    Total pagefile size: 24GB.
    Primary scratch disk - 155GB free.
    Secondary scratch disk - 544GB free.
    Those are all gigabytes, not megabytes, no mistake. There's NO WAY that there's not enough scratch memory available.
    And this is how the process looks:
    Physical memory usage at this point is 62%, Commit charge - 15%.
    Currently, I can work around this by making a screenshot of "Original" tab in Save for Web dialogue when it's there - because sometimes it's just a pink-filled window.
    So, Adobe, any suggestions, please?

    Asmodeus,
    Illustrator CS5 has some improvements to how Raster Effects are rendered on screen. So even if you use 72ppi DRES, you would see very little/no difference compared to 300ppi DRES - i.e., pixelization issues would be almost non-existent.
    Could you try this out & come back with your findings?
    Also if you just want to send something to other people for Previews, maybe a PDF with the 'Smallest File Size' Preset be good enough. These can be viewed with the (free) Adobe Reader.

  • There is not enough free memory to load the entire file

    I saw an older reference to this error in a previous post which apparently got resolved, but didn't explain precisely how it got resolved:
    Michael Kitzmiller, "There is not enough free memory to load the entire file" #, 27 Jul 2007 5:23 am
    I presume that one answer is to rebuild the document from scratch, changing imported images to referenced images. But I want to recover the file as I put hours of work into it and expected that anything I can save that I also should be able to read back in. I will certainly change to referenced images, but I have to be able to open it first.
    thank you

    Web...
    Here is a smattering of ideas.
    Do you have ample unused HDD space? If not, defrag it, although in myu experience, this hardly makes a difference. Check your TEMP/TMP folders and clean them out. Consider downloading cCleaner and running it. Do everything you can to make ample room on your HDD and in places like your TEMP folders. If your HDD is congested, temporarily remove big but relatively unimportant applications and move data elsewhere for a while.
    Even with 4GB of RAM, Frame can only use somewhere between 2.7 - 3.2 GB of it under the very best of conditions, and that includes the application as well as the files. Unpacking image files can consume considerably more space than it takes to store them. For example, a 1024 x 768 color image requires more than 3.1MB to describe it as a 32-bit color image, yet when stored in JPEG format, it can be as small as 50kB, a compression of 65:1. Of course, it's not reasonable to assume that your document is comprised entirely of such highly-compressed images, but in the unachievable extreme, it would take 980MB to simultaneously open 15MB worth of those kind of files. The point here is to not fall into the trap of thinking a 15MB file comprising a lot of images needs little more than 15MB of RAM.
    Make sure ALL other applications are closed when trying to open your file...Outlook, IE or FireFox, Anti-Virus and Spyware apps, Word, etc.
    Consider sending a copy of the file to someone else to see if they can open it for you and delete some of the images before resaving it. If you have a backup copy, rename your current file and restore the backup. Maybe your working copy is corrupt. Who knows? Anything is probably worth trying as long as you have a save copy stored somewhere.

  • Not enough RAM - CS2

    Hi!
    To begin I will say that we have been using Photoshop CS 2 in our company for about two years without a problem. The problems started last friday. I have not changed any settings, installed any plugins etc. before these problems started. Neither has the computer hardware changed.
    Photoshop starts nicely. You can use it without a problem for a while, until suddenly it says (depending on the action) "Not enough RAM". After that I can't save, but I can continue editing as if nothing had happened. Normally Photshop  takes roughly 1gt of RAM when idle, but the allocated memory just keeps on growing the further I go with my photoshopping. After a while the Photoshop memory count rises to about 2gt. I have 3gt of RAM and there's always about 2gt not in use when Photoshop is inactive.
    Sometimes when i launch Photoshop my whole computer crashes. No blue screens of death or anything, just a simple reset. This also occured while i was starting the uninstallation program.
    The best way to see this problem is with the Text tool. Creating a text layer takes much more longer than it used to. Copy-pasting is just something I can't do because it takes forever.
    I have read the FAQ, adjusted history and cache settings to small, scratch disks (1st startup, 2nd another partition), reseted my preferences and ultimately reinstalled Photoshop. My Photoshop is up-to-date. I have tried running Photoshop on Windows 98 compatibility setting. My computer temperatures are good. I have also defragmented and ran memtests.
    Thank you for your help, it's really hard to get jobs done right now. I will gladly answer your questions.

    Hi, same problem here -
    I have been using CS2 for 4 years, and I keep getting the same message regarding not enough RAM over and over again during the years. It's not happenig all the time - it seems to pop up every two or three months. Usually I don't get the message, but sometimes, when I work on files with a lot of text - such as broshures or flyers, or menu pages - it's almost impossible to work.
    It takes forever to initialise the text engine, sometimes I get the message "something prevented the text engine from being initialised".
    I know I will get the message for not enough RAM when all the text disappears whie I am typing and when I click anything after that that annoying message pops up.
    I don't know waht to do - I save every 2-3 minutes, because I don't know when it will surprise me. It's really frustrating-  I broke two keyboard while "dealing" with the problem.
    My PC specs are:
    AMD Athlon 2800+
    1,8 GHz, 2 Gb RAM
    I tired allocating 70 % of my RAM to Photoshop, then I changed it to 50 %, then I read somewhere that it is good to be 30 % - did that, too.
    I have only one partition on my hard drive,one physical drive;  first scratch disk - startup, second - C:/
    Any ideas?

  • Photoshop CS3 "Not enough scratch memory available" error.

    Hi,
    I am Using Adobe Photoshop CS3 Version 10.0 and I keep getting the error "Not enough Scratch memory available to perform this action" whenever I try to Save a .psd file to a .jpg/.jpeg file.
    I did go to Edit -> Preferences -> Performance, and add my other two partitions as scratch disks, also put up my E: drive as the primary scratch disk on the top of the list (Which has 80GB's of space) but I still keep getting this error.
    My file (the .psd that i am trying to save to a .jpg) has a total size of 56MB and 300dpi with 4 or 5 layers in it and the target jpg file is supposed to be 12inches by 20inches.
    Some other things I have tried is celaring the %temp% folder, Defragmenting my Hard Drive(s), Disk Cleanup, set my System Page file to 4GB, but all this is of no use.
    I know that I have enough RAM and Hard disk space so please help me get rid of this problem.
    Also, this maybe a stupid question but, does the type of RAM and Processor you are using effect this? I have a DDR RAM.. 2GB, I know its outdated, its our office computer I am working on.. My Processor is a Core 2 Duo which isnt bad.
    HELP PLEASE!!!

  • Photoshop CS2 Not Enough RAM error message (wrong forum)

    For some strange reason, my copy of Photoshop CS2 (macintosh) has started giving me an error message after program start up: could not complete your request because there is not enough RAM. I don't have to do anything. This message pops up about 1 minute after I start the program. The program works fine. I just close the window and go on. I haven't installed any new plug ins or changes to my prefs or hardware configuration. This just started for no apparent reason. It doesnt't refuse to work, it's just annoying. I've tried deleting the Photoshop prefs file and reinstalling the program from the master disc. Didn't help. I'm running OS 10.4.2 on a dual 1.8 gz processor mac with 4 gigs of RAM; Photoshop set to retain 60% of that. Anyone with any ideas about this, or should I just quit whining and go back to work...

  • Error: Not Enough RAM to Open Small Files

    MacBook5,2
    Macintosh OSX 10.6.3
    4GB RAM
    NVIDIA GeForce 9400M - 256MB
    Adobe Photoshop CS4 Extended (11.0.1)
    I am rendering TIFF files out of Maya that are 11880 x 3400 pixels.  The file size ranges between 100 - 160 MB.  Whenever I attempt to open one of these images in Photoshop, I receive this error: "Could not complete the Open command because there is not enough RAM."
    I just ran Adobe Update and I have all the latest updates.
    I deleted my Photoshop preferences and restarted Photoshop.
    I have my Scratch disk set to an internal solid state disk with 30 GB of free space.
    I have Photoshop's RAM set to 3000MB.
    Despite all of this, I still receive the "Could not complete the Open command because there is not enough RAM" error every time I attempt to open the images rendered out of Maya.
    The images from Maya are completely normal 8bit TIFF files with neither an alpha channel nor a depth channel.  I can successfully open them in After Effects, but this is useless to me.  I need to edit them individually in Photoshop.
    Photoshop's error is clearly not due to file size.  I have HDR panoramas with dimensions greater than 11880 x 3400 that go up to 1GB in file size that I can open and work on in Photoshop without any problem.
    Why is Photoshop not playing nicely with these TIFF images?

    I still want to a solution to the above problem, but I have found a temporary work-around using After Effects. 
    Import the image into After Effects and then save the image as another file using Composition --> Save Frame as --> File.
    As I said earlier, After Effects is capable of reading the files that are coming out of Maya even though Photoshop is not.
    When I use After Effects to save the image as a TIFF, Photoshop is now able to open the new TIFF file. 
    This, however, is only a temporary work-around.  It is not optimal to resave the image before I start working on it.  I am probably loosing some precious data in the After Effects conversion.  As a matter of fact, the images tend to be 40MB smaller in size when I export them through After Effects, even though I am using the same file type, no compression, and still 8 bits. 
    Now, back to the problem: What is wrong with Photoshop?
