Hi,
there are probably a few things we could try to do to reduce memory
usage when working with large images. The main problem here is that if
you open an RGB image (no alpha channel) with say 1000 x 1000 pixels,
you would expect GIMP to use 1000 * 1000 * 3 bytes to store the image
data. You will
What about making gimp do a benchmaking on the machine and then let it
automatically decide what method 2 use for that swapping/ tiling
stuff.. Hey, now dont beat me. I confess i actually know none of the

You will however notice that GIMP instead needs 8 bytes per

projection the size of the image. This projection holds the result of
compositing the layer stack. It is always allocated 4 bpp. Additionally

Thanks to all who responded with useful comments.
It isn't entirely clear from the comments when gimp starts up, but the
tiling cache should indeed be almost as large as physical memory,
allowing some for other uses (such as the OS).
Increasing to 1500Mb on a 2G system was a huge improvement. I

But it still seems like the elegant way to do this (erk, but it
probably did rely on the projection being able to assume the

At the moment the projection is always RGBA but the code to do

I suggest modifying the documentation to read something like:

Of course there's also a physical limit and you would need a 64bit

Not necessarily, there some CPU extensions for x86 CPUs which
