I've not had that problem, and often work with images that size or larger. It helps to define the tile cache size (in edit/prefs) to be at least three quarters of available memory, maybe more - e.g. I have it set to 7 gigabytes on an 8G machine. You can also get big speedups by going to the undo history dock and clicking on the "discard undo history" button fairly often. > Is Gimp going to use in the future the .ora format, or it will remain to > the .xcf? Don't know. I'm sure .xcf will continue to be supported as much as possible.
