GIMP :: What Is Tile Cache Size
Mar 11, 2013I just noticed that a large amount of RAM has been allocated for "Tile Cache Size" under GIMP preferences. What is tile cache size, and how much is generally needed?

View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to figure out how many/how big drives/SSD or hard drives I need to get for a quad-core Mac Pro, and am stuck when it comes to the scratch disk.
1) How do I determine how big a scratch disk needs to be in Photoshop CS4 extended (Mac)? I've come across a few sites which explain how to calculate this but they're very technical and hard to grasp IMHO.
2) Where do SSDs come into the equation? Obviously they're still too expensive and small for file storage, but will a SATA-3 SSD (connected to a SATA-3 PCIe card if the onboard SATA-3 interface will be a bottleneck) do wonders as a scratch disk? I've read opinions that go both ways on this. Or are they mostly for use as a system and applications boot drive? And does it make much of a (real world) difference to use a SATA-3 SSD/PCIe interface or just stick with the SATA-II interface already available?
3) Apart from Photoshop, do other applications use a scratch disk as well (Lightroom for instance, which I also use)? It seems a waste to dedicate a hard drive or SSD just for Photoshop alone.
I have a 512x512 pattern I need to fill a 2560x2560 area that should go 5x5...
Do I have to paste it manually, or is there a way to get the pattern fill to actually tile properly? It's not.

I have a macbook pro running osx 10.8.4 and LR 4.4 installed. When I try to change the cache size in the LR Preferences from 1.0 gig to 10 it doesn't "stick". I change it, close the pref. menu and when I reopen it to check, it's back to 1.0 How can I change this and make it stay?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI am using GIMP 2.8.4, on a netbook running Windows 7 SE, with 1G RAM, and a 1.6GHz CPU.
Ever since I started to use GIMP 2.8.4, I get this "unable to read tile data from disk" prompt, and a tile in the picture is missing, frequently.
I attached a screen shot of the prompt.
Is this because of my hard-disk? or a known bug in GIMP 2.8?
I have been using Gimp for a lot of "tile based" images, which feature layers composed of several "tiles" pasted into those layers. However, I just recently started creating transparent tiles, and pasting them.
One of the strangest things I have run into here is that I don't seem to be able to move my selection ( Floating Layer? ) if the opacity on the source pixels is 0.25 or less. Specifically, I do not get the usual "drag box" when I hover over the transparent pixels. Instead, I get the "anchor box" ( which seems to crop the pasted area before anchoring ). I tried this on a composite image with some more transparent pixels ( 0.25 ) and some more opaque pixels ( 0.26 ), and the "drag box" appears only over the more opaque pixels.
Why this might be happening? It could be that this is just context-sensitive cursor behavior which varies on transparency, and if so, is there another way to move the pasted selection?
I've been using Tile to create an array from a jpeg image to use as a background for a website I'm building using Weebly. The original images display fine in Weebly, and when I use Tile to create the array the resulting image looks flawless in GIMP and in the picture viewer on my desktop. However, when the image is uploaded to Weebly it displays as though the original layer has been duplicated in GIMP and tiled manually and badly, i.e. leaving white space along edges, incorrect alignment of tiles.

It seems to want to make a tile size of 8.5" x 11".
How can the tile size be adjusted to 141" x 41"

1. Should Media Cache Files and Media Cache Database be in separate folders? Does it matter?

I've just reduced the size of a canvas from 300x300 to 200x200 but when I merge the layers I'm left with a dotted line showing the original size.

I want to create a template whereby I can make a series of images that I can save as jpgs, upload to my blog, and people can print them. When they print, I want them to be one quarter of a sheet of paper (fit four to a page).
I tried creating a new image using the "inches" specification and those inches seem to have no bearing on inches in real life once printed.
So then I figured that a sheet of paper is 8.5 by 11 and I want a resolution of 300 dpi.
So 8.5 times 300: 2,550 pixels. Times that by 0.25 to get a quarter of it: 637.5 (which gets rounded to 638 pixels).
11 times 300: 3,300 pixels. Times that by 0.25= 825 pixels.
So I put in for 638 pixels by 825 pixels and 300 dpi. I created my image. I saved it as a jpg at full resolution. I uploaded it to my site and tested out the printing.
It took up most of a sheet of paper. Not even close to being a quarter of a sheet.
I've been using 2.6 and created a template for multiple business cards on a standard 8.5 by 11 sheet. [URL]
However the later versions ... 2.8 cause distortions when I try to print. ( Canon MG 2120) The standard 8.5 by 11 mysteriously converts to 7.997 by 10.349 inches .... and a weird 318.870 ppi appears. This obviously distorts my template and the 2 by 3.5 inch cards become odd sizes. When I open the template in 2.6, it works perfectly.
What has happened to the later version? i can't reset to inches and even using the 2559 by 3300 pixils with the 1050x600 card sizecan't be printed accurately So I'm now creating in 2.8 and opening in 2.6 to get my sizes correctly.
I love the expanded tools for drawing in the 2.8 ... but this feature is a nuisance ... along of course with the terrible sizing scale for the brushes. SO hard to calibrate the smaller and moe common sizes. Another bad feature.
Have I missed some adjustment somewhere. Using the same printer, same download gives two different prints sizes in 2.6 and 2.8.
I have Photoshop 6.0 and all I want to learn right now is how do I take an image and make a tiled background with it? Please answer in the easiest way possible, I have trouble even finding the tools in photoshop. I can use Picture it and tile very slowly myself piece by piece, but I am sure that there is a simple way to push a button and have it done for me with photoshop.

I need to create a single 'photo wall' jpg out of them in which they're all tiled, the long way of doing this is to obv open them all and copy, paste into the psd, then flatten, but thats really, really time consuming. If photoshop had any type of auto import & tile feature? I may have to do this a 2nd time with 1000's of images.

I am modifying a brick picture I took to use in SketchUp and want it to tile seamlessly. I can keep going back and modifying, then placing it in SketchUp, modify more, place it... until I get it right. However it would be nice to be able to see it in Photoshop.
the final image is in flash, but this effect was pasted from 19 different images rendered by some kind of "tile flip" effect in Photoshop.

I'm using photoshop cs6 to create textile designs, and occassionally, (it hasnt happened with every tile) when i change the image size of my tile e.g. from 15cm sq to 10cm sq, then try to repeat the tile it forms thin lines between the tiles?
heres the tile repeated after ive changed the image size and you can see the thin lines...when i zoom in on the tile edges where the line has formed it looks like this....almost as if theres empty pixels that can then be coloured in.
i dont think its a problem when creating the tile because before i changed the image size it repeated fine with no lines, its something thats happeneing when the image size is altered.
I use tile on 95% of my jobs. It is a waste of space when I tile all vertical pictures because I do not have the choice of Tile Vertically or Tile Horizontally as on previous version of Photoshop.
I tried the different choices offered on "arrange document" and there is non with the vertical choice, unless you choose one that displays my photos some on one size and the remaining or two or three remaining, a different size to fill up the screen.
I would like to change all the DOCUMENTS of the Tile Mode to 0. But, the following code the Active Document changes only. How can I modify the code?
Dim acdc As DocumentCollection = Application.DocumentManager Dim acdoc As Document = acdc.MdiActiveDocument Dim acTile As Integer = Application.GetSystemVariable("TileMode") For Each acdoc In acdc If acTile = 1 Then Application.SetSystemVariable("TILEMODE", 0) End If Next End Sub
I am using Adobe Fireworks CS3, but I hope some of you will still be able to help me. I've designed a ceramic tile using 4 layers. It looks authentic (I've been in the flooring biz for 35+ years, I know), but it lacks the sheen of a semi-gloss tile seen on the floor with natural light coming from a North-West facing window (or upper left side as seen on the screen). It's a very light colored tile.
