Not enough RAM to auto blend layers?
I'm running Win Vista 32bit with 3gig of RAM. When trying to use the Auto-Blend feature of CS4 I get an error message that says Could not Auto-Blend the layers because there is not enough memory (RAM)." The only way I'm able to get this feature to work is if I reduce my image size to less than 1/4 of my original file size. I started with an image that was 4221 pixels wide, and I had to reduce it down to 1000 pixels before the blending feature wold work.
Does anyone know how much RAM this feature needs to work on a full size image? Is there anyway I can set up Vista to allocate more of my RAM to CS4? When I go under preferences > performance, it tells me that I have 1641mb of RAM available. Is there a way I can set this so more of my RAM is allocated to CS4?
I'm experiencing that same problem intermittently, even with smaller projects. The only solution I've found is restaring Photoshop, then often it will work. I suspect theres a mem leak somewhere.

CS5 - Why are Edit Auto Blend Layers (and Auto Align Layers) gray and not accessible?
I have CS5 and would like to try focus stacking. I File > Automate > Photomerge with a few photos. They have been aligned in layers. I would like to Auto Blend Layers but the function is gray and not accessible.
Thanks,
MarkThank you THANK YOU. As I was doing this I realized you asked me to show my selected layers. I haven't been doing that. I thought photoshop would blend all open layers. Thanks again.

Is there an issue with Edit Auto-Blend Layers in Photoshop CC 2014?
The command Edit > Auto-Blend Layers in Photoshop CC 2014.1 does not seem to produce the expected results for me. For example, I used the Edit > Auto-Blend Layers command when I was doing the exercise on Adding Depth of Field starting on page 122 of the Photoshop CC 2014 CIB. The results: Instead of the foreground and background being both in focus, only the foreground was in focus. The background was out of focus. And, when I turned off visibility of the foreground layer, the background layer showed as transparent.
There seems to be.
See this thread:
Since installing the latest update of Photoshop CC two days ago, Auto Blend for focus stacking is selecting all pixels from the bottom layer instead of selecting the ones in best focus from each layer. Has anyone else seen this problem? -
Can I Auto Blend layers in Photoshop Elements?
I have seen face-swapping tutorials online using the "auto-blend layers" tool In Photoshop CS6. Is there a way to do the same thing in elements?
Thanks for the help,
ErikHi Broad Arrow builders,
99jon is right.
However, that is assuming you already know the dimensions (99jon rightly describes setting the dimensions in advance) of the logo in advance, and you're going to use the logo you need for one specific use only. A logo you make in Photoshop Elements may not always remain clear and legible when you scale it up or down. I say that because logos will, generally, find their way into lots of places - letterheads, banners, T-shirt emblems, and other places. You might need different sizes for different needs.
You might want to use a vector graphics tool like Illustrator for logo design.
Phew! Okay - temporary fix - PSE 11 will work great! Permanent fix - for multiple designs and dimensions - you might need a different tool.
Cheers,
David -
Photoshop CS4 - Not enough RAM to open a file???
I get this wonderful "Not Enough RAM" message, while trying to open a big TIF file (over 100 Mb). Till now it happened with big files that were saved in Windows. All other programs, including Photoshop CS3 opens the files just great. Resaving files in any other app helps, but this thing is a joke - I'm thinking going back to CS3... : (
Thanks.soom1976 wrote:
According to many different discussions, nobody, even Apple, can really tell If it is necessary to defragment OS X drives,
This is not about defragmenting the drive. I am attempting to make you aware that you will always have fragmentation on your drive in a one-drive laptop, no matter what you do.
Photoshop needs to find a single, contiguous, non-fragmented chunk of drive space to create the scratch disk. On a one-drive machine you will never, ever know exactly what the largest, unfragmented chunk of drive space you have at any given instant is, but you can bet your life on the fact that it will be a lot less than the total amount the Finder shows you.
As I just typed, your drive will inevitably be fragmented even before you boot up, and the swap files of the OS will further fragmented once it's running.
You can use an external drive for scratch, just make sure it's formatted as Mac HFS+ Extended and NOT case-sensitive. Do a Get Info (Command I) on the icon of the external hard drive in the Finder and check "Ignore Ownership of this Drive" if necessary.
Photoshop creates the scratch drive the instant you go to open an existing file or create a new one, setting its size on assumptions it makes based on your workflow history, not just the size of the file you're opening. Thus, it is possible that the scratch disk sizes for CS3 and for CS4 will be different on your machine. This will be the case if you have worked on bigger files or with more layers. etc, on one version than on the other one, even for the very same file. The difference could be dramatic.

CS6 beta: Auto-Blend Layers fale
Doing some focusstacking with 17 images and than CS6 beta stopped working:
"Could not complete the Auto-Blend layers command because of a programm error"
Tried it out several times, all the same.....Dear Chris,
I get the posted fale today on my CS6 beta. There is no possibility to
contact Adobe directly to bring them information. Is this normal to have
no support? There is only the forum. This is a way, I don't like. Okay,
because I am frindly and wants to help Adobe I used the forum. But where
is the button to change my language? I couldn't find the German button.
Normaly Adobe must be interested in getting informations about problems,
YOU want to sell your products. I didn't get money for my time to inform
you.
I think you are able to do focusstacking with PS. Look at the picture
and you can see how many layers I used. For more details a German
speaking Adobe-member can email me. The same picture works with a
freeware-software. Name me a reason to buy PS6 for focusstacking at this
moment?

Where is the auto blend layers in elements 13
where is the auto blend layers in elements 13? why don't i have a tool bar on the elements page?
That function doesn't exist in Elements, only Photoshop; however, some people have written plug-ins that will allow it so if you're seeing a tutorial maybe that's the situation.
Elements 13 does have several layer blending functions, so will any of those work for what you want to do?
Here is a thread where someone talks about using an recorded PS action in PSE 12 and they include a .zip file in post #14. I don't know if it'll still work in PSE13 or not:

Failure Message: Not enough RAM
straighten tool with content aware fill on an image (*.jpg) with ~7MB is not working --> Failure message ..... not enough RAM..
Installed RAM is 4 GB --> 1.5 GB reserved for PSE and more than 500GB available and activated in HD as workingvolume ... does anyone has an idea what to change??You might try something like this:
1. First make sure you photo is a Layer and not just a Background Layer.
2. Use the Straighten Tool with Autofill edges unchecked
3. Ctrl click on the thumbnail in the layers panel to load the selection of photo
4. Select>Inverse
5. Select>Modify>Expand and enter a value between 5 px and 20 px
(the amount depends of the size of the photo)
6. Edit>Fill Selection>Content Aware
7. Select>Deselect
Honestly though, a 32 bit operating system just can't provide the resources for the optimum operation of photoshop elements 13, especially for
things like content aware fill that really don't use virtual memory , but rely on having the actual ram needed available.
A 64 bit operating system with at least 8 gb of ram performs so much better with photoshop elements 13, since
pse 13 is an 64 bit program on 64 bit operating systems and can use many more times the 1.7 gb of ram a 32 bit operating system is limited to.

Photoshop freezes when using Auto-Blend Layers - Stack Images
I used to have CS5 on my computer, after which I used the CS6 trial, and I never had any problems when stacking images using Auto-Blend Layers -> Stack Images. However, I recently purchased a subscription to Adobe Creative Cloud and after uninstalling the old PS versions and installing Cloud, Photoshop freezes every time I try to stack images.
My computer has very good specs, runs Windows 7, and both the OS and PS are up to date.
Why is PS freezing? What can I do to fix the problem?Sure, here you go:

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.
Sampsa Kuronen,
VarustelekaHi, 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 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...
Can you tell us which API is failing (error code) and what amount of memory <br />you are requesting?<br /><br />I've seen 'not enough ram' when the entrypoint gets messed up and you <br />actually have a Pipl problem.

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. -
I'm trying to open a small .pdf file
Photoshop is telling me it wont open, that there is not enough ram.
It's not on all files, I tried re-saving the file it is messing up on but it still does it.
I'm running the newest macbook pro with 16g ram
300gig of space is available.
I tried rebooting the computer.What exactly is the error message that comes up? Is it something like - "Not enough disk space to open"
The actual error message is really helpful in questions like this -
Illustrator can't open my saved file because there is not enough RAM. Can someone help me?
I was working all last night on artwork using Illustrator and now I cannot get it to open. The message reads that there is not enough RAM. This is after a long pause of waiting for illustrator to read the file. The file is 37 MB large, so it doesn't seem that daunting for my MacBook Pro with 8 GB of RAM. Any thoughts? Other files open with no problem.
After I hit ok on the message (Not enough RAM), it seems to be trying to work on something in the Illustrator file and then repeats saying there is not enough RAM.
Any help is greatly appreciated.Thanks, there was a message on my file that suggested I save it with the PDF compatibility, but I am not able to do that till I get in. I am at the Apple store now to see if they can help me out. It would be sad to lose all that inspiration I put into my artwork.
Thanks for your help, I will need to be careful how much I load on one Illustrator file in the future.
