deep sky stacker and .tif files not opening in adobe photoshop

[philip57]

I have used Deep Sky Stacker version 3.3.2 to stack several images and a .tif file is then produced after stacking.

The problem occurs when i try to open up the .tif file ( for final processing )in adobe photoshop cs4. I then get the error message "Could not complete your request because there is not enough memory (ram)"

I have 8gb ram,,, 70% of this is allocated to photoshop through the preferences menu.

Scratch disc C has 108gb free space.

I am totally mystified. I have tried several tiff file produced in deep sky stacker and none of them will open in photoshop. These files are usually about 90mb.

I am using windows7

Any help would be much appreciated.

Hmm, that's a bit pants.

Try emailing the author of DSS, he might have a clue as to what is happening.

Out of interest, can you open them in other programs? eg, Pixinsight?

I"ve had something like this as well...

open up the autorun.tif file in DSS and then save it as a 16 bit.tif . It will then open in Photoshop. My version CS4 will not open 32 bit files.

autosave.tif - i think

Or when its finished processing, in the processing box hit 'save picture to file...' and save as a 16bit tiff

open up the autorun.tif file in DSS and then save it as a 16 bit.tif . It will then open in Photoshop. My version CS4 will not open 32 bit files.
