Hello. I have only just installed Gimp and the first thing that happens is when I try to open a new image at say, 24 inches x 20 inches with a resolution of 300ppi is get a message saying ' You are trying to create an image with a size of 1.6 Gb' and goes on to tell me that this image size exceeds the maximum allowable. I can't work out how a blank image area of these dimensions amounts to anything bigger than about 123Mb., as the same space shows up as in Photoshop. Am I doing something wrong here?
So you have 43MPx, and the 123MB assume 3bytes/pixels for a single layer., But Gimp will have the layer, the displayed image (compositing of existing layers, the previous vesion of the layer...) so you there is a multiplication factor your for your initial layer. When you do this, you image is around 400MB with the usual 8-bits/channel precision. But you get over 1GB because in your advanced options your image is 32-bit floating- point, so this is 4 bytes per channel, instead of 1. _______________________________________________ gimp-user-list mailing list List address: gimp-user-list@gnome.org List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list List archives: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gimp-user-list
