Photoshop RAM Problem

[sayaprayer]

Lately when working in photoshop on my laptop I get an "insufficient memory(ram)" message. And I can't save. I have 512MBs of ram in there and photoshop barely touches that. No problem running any other programs. Any ideas?

i had that problem...if you run any rendering filters its really slow aswell...unfortunatly i do not know how to solve this problem

I'm not running any filters, a few drop shadows and strokes but aside from that just graphics.

raise your pageing file

I have never had any memory warnings with ps :/ (and I only have 640mb (soon to be 1.5gb ))

It could be that your hard drive is running out of space. If not, do as above and enlarge the page file.

1GB runs Photoshop pretty smoothly. I can do much more than I could when I had 512MB.

I allocated more space to my paging file. So far so good, thanks for the input.

when your in PS go to edit/preferences then go to memory an image cache. you can do some adjustments there. maybe this might help you to. at this link
