The minimum memory usage for a 50 Mpixel RGBA image is 400 MB, and that's if you only have a single layer. So given the amount of memory needed for other purposes in a modern operating system, it's likely that gimp is swapping very frequently. 700 MB is low to be running Gimp in the first place, and much more so if you're going to work with large images. Gimp is going in directions that should eventually make it work better in this kind of scenario, but for now and the near future, the best advice is to get more RAM. -- Bill _______________________________________________ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer
