Hi ho, I'm working with a relatively large RGB image (4368 x 3384px / 2MB file size / status bar says 199MB on load). Once I begin editing the image, the memory usage quickly gets up around 600MB and up, and my system comes to a crawl as it goes to the hard disk for memory space. I'm wondering

Photoshop handles large images better than GIMP. That's a known fact and it's not trivial to improve. Ummm, well that known fact isn't completely true. In actual fact, Photoshop will *not* handle many of the large images that we work with at all, whereas the GIMP will do so with no problem.

How huge is huge, Kevin? Over the past two days, I have edited two TIFF images, 12500 x 7800 pixels, greyscale, using Photoshop 8. It was business as usual (meaning, fast and stable as usual). Loading and saving took as long as I expected for a file of this size (95MB). Prompted by this
