Not enough ram

[mark skelton]

I took some images of Cygnus using my canon 750D and 18 -55mm lens at 18 mm piggybacked on my scope ( 10 images in total) then did the darks, bias and flats. Ran it all through deep sky stacker no problems so far. the final image was then autosave as a tiff file (578mb in size). I then went to open the file in the photoshop cc 2018 only to have a message come up saying could not apply the workspace not enough memory (ram). The trouble is I have 8gb ram (available 7403mb) and photoshop is set to 6292 mb (85%). any help would be helpful.

How do I increase RAM in Photoshop?

You can tweak scratch disk settings in the Preferences > Scratch Disks section.

1. Choose Edit > Preferences > Scratch Disks (Windows) or Photoshop > Preferences > Scratch Disks (Mac OS).
2. To enable or disable a scratch disk, select or deselect the Active check box. ...
3. Click OK.

• To apply the changes, restart Photoshop

hope this may solve your problem

I've had this message before in P'Shop and it didn't mean what it said, it was  because it couldn't read the file header.

IIRC Deep Sky Stacker can sometimes save the image as a 32 bit file which can confuse some versions of PS

There was a glitch with PS which was fixed in update 19.1.5 in June. This ‘might’ be an answer to your issue. Have you got the largest updates installed?
