I'm not horsing around; well I am but not about that!
I still get the dreaded 'Failed to Launch Server Application' error when I try to "edit bitmap" of any image over 50 MB. It's not for lack of RAM, I have 64GB installed. So that hasn't changed for me.
Interesting how much larger the 2024 application is than 2023. Seems like those new brushes added on a lot of weight?
Photo-PAINT has the same 30,000 x 30,000 pixel limit as PS PSD file format, that may be it.
I never noticed, but I did notice the Photo-PAINT 2024 seems to use more memory.
I find it a lot faster and smoother than 2023. I was having a lot of stalls and shutdowns with 2023 but SFSG with 2024. That alone is worth the upgrade to me.
