I have a 1.3GB Draw file open with a good deal of artistic text, multiple large transparencies as well as 5 other programs open for a total of 6.5 GB in memory.
Selecting a 20" x 40" image at 200 DPI and using the edit bitmap feature transferred the image to Photo-PAINT for editing in 6 seconds. All edits went well.
I'm not so lucky. 8x10 photo at 300 DPI, when clicking Edit Bitmap, I got the dreaded error FAILED TO LAUNCH SERVER APPLICATION. A smaller image worked after I killed Photo-Paint in Task Manager.
Here is a 17.25" x 11.25" CMYK image in Draw at 400 DP, 118 MB. I right click and select edit bitmap, in 7 seconds it is ready for editing in Photo-PAINT 2024. The file is an image of a Cardinal from a photo shoot a week or so ago. I used 17.25 x 11.25 at 400 DPI as that is the resolution that I use for high end FM and AM press printing work.
My system runs like this all the time and has so for I believe nearly 4 years, at least 3 years..
