CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X5 :: High Memory Usage And Out Of Memory Error

Nov 4, 2011

I do have problem with my newly installed CorelDraw X5. Before X5 we used Corel 12 in our company.

I have project file (150 MB) with lots of text, bitmaps, vectors - about 100 pages. File opens but I can't save it. I always get OUT OF MEMORY error. I even tried to divide this file into 2 smaller parts but still doesn't work.

What I noticed - Corel X5 after clean start (without opened project) takes about 80MB of RAM in task manager. When I open project usage changes from 80MB to 1,2GB. While saving it takes 1,6GB of RAM and it crashes.

To compare - Corel 12 and after opening same project file Corel 12 takes much less of memory - about 770MB and it works without problem. 

Where from comes this memory usage difference?

My PC:

Windows 7 - 32bit

4GB of RAM

Intel Core2Duo 2 x 3.0GHz

700GB free space on drive C:

Photoshop :: Memory Usage

Jul 31, 2009

I have PSCS3 Extended, using Windows Vista Ultimate 4Gig Ram Nvidia GTX 260. I have gone into EDIT>PREFERENCE>PERFORMANCE, and noticed available ram 1678, ideal range 922-1208, and below is the bar where you chose how much memory you use.But how do you calculate the optimum percentage for your system?

Photoshop :: Memory Usage

Apr 14, 2009

I am using the healing brush tool, it will just quit working. Am I just running out of memory enough to operate or am I missing something else. The puter will tell me I am running with 45% free. Perhaps the healing brush just gets tired, for I am healing a young teen's picts.

Photoshop :: Scanning And Memory Usage

Jul 3, 2008

I'm running PS CS3 on Vista Home Premium, 1.86Ghz Intel core 2 processor, and 4GB RAM.
I realise Vista only sees 3.3GB of this RAM, and I know Vista uses about 1GB all the time.

Question:

While running PS, and only PS, with no files open, I have 2GB of RAM, why will PS not let me scan a file that it says will take up 300Mb?

200Mb is about the limit that it will let me scan, but even then, the actual end product ends up being less than 100Mb. (around 70mb in most cases)I'm using a Dell AIO A920, latest drivers etc, and PS is set to use all avaliable RAM.

Not only will it not let me scan, once a file I've opened has used up "x" amount of RAM, even if I then close that file, "x" amount of RAM will STILL be unavaliable. This means if I scan something, I have to save it, close PS, then open it again before I can scan anything else.

Surely this isn't normal. Or am I being stupid and missing something obvious?

I've also monitored the memory usage during scanning using task manager and various other things, it hardly goes up at all, then shoots up to 70-80% once the 70ishMb file is loaded. Something is up because if that were true, I'd actually only have 1Gb of RAM, and running Vista would be nearly impossible.

It's not a Vista thing either as I had this problem when I had XP. In fact it was worse then, I could hardly scan anything, had to be very low resolution.

Photoshop :: CS6 Memory Usage 14GB From 50 Meg File?

Aug 23, 2013

I'm working on a 48 meg file, but my RAM usage was up to 13.9 gigs. I just restarted Ps and opened the file and it's up to 10.7 gigs.
 
Previously I was always maxing out 10 gigs everyday out of 12 available gigs in the machine also working on small files.( 25-30 meg on average) IT tried playing with things forever and finally just tried ordering more RAM. They ended up putting 28 Gigs in the box. And I'm really not seeing any advantage in Photoshop, other than my system still runs OK outside of Ps while I'm working. well Rhino 3D still crashes from being out of memory, even though there was still 6 gigs free?
 
I'm just drawing, no filters, not too many layer masks. I do have maybe 15-20 vector smart objects in the file, and I'm at 147 layers. The issue I was having is Pen lag on the Cintiq when I draw starts getting horrible as the RAM usage gets higher. I had been restarting Photoshop constantly to get it to release RAM. But I haven't the last couple days since they doubled the RAM in the machine. And obviously on restart the file still needed a lot of RAM???
 
I can live with the lag, sucks, but I can still work. I just don't understand why these small files are using so much RAM. Back in the day on 32 bit systems with 4gigs of RAM I would sometimes create posters/covers/magazine spreads that were 1.5- even 4 gigs that would have to be saved as Tiff's because PS didn't support a file that big. This machine runs like that everyday. At home I've been doing some freelance book covers that get up to 450 megs now and then and it still runs better, Cintiq at home draws smoother than this machine that costs 3-4 times more!
 
It's a win 7 64 bit box, 2 Dual core 2.4 Xeons. two quadro 2000's, now 28GB ram, OS on a 560?GB drive with files on a Terrabyte drive that gets backed up. My hardrives arent rated very high, 5.9, but at least im working local to the machine as the network is slow.

VideoStudio :: X2 Pro Memory Usage Kept Increasing?

Jul 20, 2011

I am still using VS X2. With my old Canon digital camera (avi files) I have been successful in editing and burning many avi projects of 2 hr duration. Since this camera broke down, I bought a Canon Vixia HF M31 HD video camera and recorded in XP+ resolution (1,440 x 1,080). The footage was then saved to the hard drive using the Canon provided Pixella Imagemixer 3 SE as mts files.

No problems were encountered in editing the footage with added captions and added background music (VSP file). Even when I rendered the VSP project of 30 min duration, it did not show any problems.

However, when during editing I played the project with or without added background music, after about 1 min VS X2 stopped working. sometimes an error message warned me "Out of Memory".

So, I added my system memory to the maximum 8 GB and VS X2 still stopped working. I monitored the memory usage with Windows Task Manager and saw that during the play back the memory usage kept going up and when it reached about 900 MB used, VS X2 stopped. So, when playing back the VSP file, I had to stop the playback when the memory used was around 850 MB in which case it dropped back to around 110 MB. Then I could continue playing and repeated the "stop" and "continue".

I edited the mts files as MPEG-2 files. Here is the properties of the edited file:

- File Format: NTSC HDMV
- Video Type: H.264 Video, Upper Field First
- Attributes: 24 bits, 1440x1080, 16:9
- Data rate: Variable (max 12000 kbps)
- audio Dolby digital 48,000 Hz, bit rate 256 kbps, layer: none

My questions:

1. Is the Upper field first correct?

2. Should I have edited the mts files as avi files in VS Project Properties?

3. If 2) above would not be possible, is there a way to convert all the mts files first to avi files using what software before editing with VS?

3ds Max Animation :: How To Minimize Memory Usage And Keep Model Size

May 9, 2011

I have recently downloaded 3ds max for Architectural fly through animations and to create construction sequence animations. I will not be modelling any designs in Max as I already use either sketch up or revit and plan on importing those models in to max. I have looked at a few tutorials here about importing into 3ds max which have been very useful but I would like more info/tips on how to keep model sizes down etc when importing e.g material usage, avoiding importing unnecessary elements especially from revit and how to set up models for quick rendering times when creating building animations. I know your computer specs are a big factor but sadly I cannot afford a high spec machine at the moment and I have to improvise.

CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X6 :: High CPU Usage In Photo Paint

Mar 26, 2012

Photo paint uses an absurd amount of CPU when drawing a line; the brush "lags" and stutters about the screen, too. My system CPU is a Core i7-2600k, and all 8 threads are maxed during the drawing of the line. Why would this be?

AutoCAD 2013 :: Mtext Command Causing High CPU Usage?

Jun 19, 2013

I'm currently using AutoCad 2013 on a Lenovo Thinkpad X230 with windows 7 64 bit.  I have 8 gb of ram and a core I7 processor which seem up to the task for the rather small files I create.  My issue is that whenever I initiate the mtext command or attempt to edit an mtext object, my cpu usage will jump from about 0 to 4% up to 20 to 30% and will stay at that level until I close the drawing.  This causes the fans to run constantly and makes working a little more jumpy.  I've tried removing AutoCad completely and reinstlling.  I've tried loading up AutoCAd 2014 (and subsequently removing it) and now I'm back to AutoCad 2013 and the problem persists. 

I'm assuming it has something to do with the computer or some other software that is running in the background.  It's odd that it would only affect this one command.  The computer is only 1 month old and I've done the hardware checks that Lenovo offers (no problems indicated).

CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X5 :: Memory Usage - Avoid Swapping

Feb 21, 2012

we are using a Dell T5500, WIN7, 64bit with 24 GB main memory. Corel X5 seems to use only a small part of it, although we have large files and jobs (e.g. to export to Adobe Illustrator). This takes a long time (> 10 min), where sometimes Corel even writes nothing to the AI file.

CPU usage is medium, memory usually around 2GB, but not larger.

How can we bring Corel to use more memory to be faster and/or in order to avoid swapping else writing nothing into Adobe Illustrator?

CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X5 :: Option To Set Memory Usage Has Gone From Global Options Menu

Apr 29, 2010

What to try on my computer to counter the frequent and destructive X5 shut downs that are happening. I've read about this problem in other threads, so I know it's not just me or my system.X5 shuts down many, many times every day. I don't think I've been able to work for 15 minutes straight yet without it crashing.

I am running a fast dual-core Intel, XP Pro SP3, 2 GB RAM, ATI Sapphire/Radeon 1GB card, oodles of hard drive space. I can run the hottest, most demanding games no problem. I run hundreds of other apps with no problem. I had no similar problem with X4 on this machine. I have no similar problem with other Corel apps, either.

X5 crashes still happen after I close down as many memory-resident apps as I can. I can't strip it down much further.I usually have a few (3-4) dockers open, one or two palettes, and my files include several bitmaps which may include transparencies or colour masks. I have about 650 fonts installed.

X5 shuts down on me many times during every work session. Sometimes when I am changing fonts, sometimes when editing bitmaps, sometimes when importing bitmaps, sometimes when applying a transparency. Bang - just shuts down. I can have Corelpaint open editing a bitmap and CD closes underneath it. I can open window to import a file and CD closes as I search the thumbnails. It closes when I click the change page tab.

Doesn't seem to be any specific act or function that closes it - it just shuts down. Gone. No warning. I lose everything since the previous save. Half the time the working file is corrupted, too, so I can't even restore it. I have to keep numerous versions on disk and use save-as with every save to keep just one alive.

I notice that the option to set memory usage has gone from the global options menu. Maybe it's bad memory management and we need that option back? I'd be happy to assign a higher percentage of RAM to X5.

Photoshop :: Scratch Disk Can't Be Created / Disk Error

Mar 29, 2012

Windows 7, had everything working fine. Added SSD and installed system from scratch on SSD. Old drive is now my second drive.
 
Trying to put the scratch disk on the second (old) drive to reduce wear on the SSD. But every time I do, I get the disk error message and it erases all my settings (so annoying!)
 
I figure it's a permissions thing since I've had to deal with that already to some degree, but I don't know how to fix it since I don't know where adobe is trying to save the scratch file.

Revit :: Show High Level Walkways And Balconies On Ground Floor Plan In High Volume Space?

Nov 15, 2012

How do I show high level walkways and balconies (in dashed outline) on the ground floor plan in a high volume space?
 
Obviously I can turn the first floor RCP on in the view and manually draw the information, but I assume these lines won't move if the walkways above move (or am I wrong?).  Also this seems slightly wrong given the amount of automation available.

CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X3 :: Saving Files With Big Memory Instead Of Small Memory?

May 6, 2011

I am using corel x3 a long time but never, never had this kind of problem. When i work in corel enviorenment after i have finished my work i go to save my work. But then is the problem It Saves the file with Large Memory on it. let's say if the file normally would be 200 K, now it saves with 3 MB. And if i import some other files in my work then the saved file will be even bigger. If i Delete the files that were imported The Saved File will be Again the same SIZE !  Even if a take one part of the file, let's say if i import only one small text and put it in another file and save it like that, the saved file will be 2 MB. I had a lots of problems, i had saved files on this way with 23-24 MB and when i open them it takes like forever. When you look that file in corel it has nohing in it, absolutely nothing that should be 24 MB. But all of my important work is in that files how to make all things back to normal again,

Photoshop :: How To Get Max CPU Usage

Feb 4, 2013

I'm using Win 7 64bit and CS6 64bit.
 
However, when I do some heavy editing, like anything that takes a few minutes of CPU processing, I tend to look at the task manager only to find that 4 cores are utilizing 50% at max thus taking longer to compute the results.
 
Is there a way to maximize CPU usage by Photoshop? I would like it to use 100% when performing tasks to speed up process time. Is there a windows plug in?

Photoshop :: Actions Usage

Feb 24, 2006

I am trying to use the clone stamp tool in combination with actions.

The idea: i have one image (say a shot of some landscape) where I want to do all of my retouching work. Since I only took the same shot at diffent exposures, I know that there´ll be no change in my composition ( object placement, etc.), so I want to reuse all what I done on my first image on this whole set of images.

But as I was trying to "capture" an action within Photoshop doing some "clone stamping", it did record the "Set sampling point of current application" but didn´t seem to record any strokes which I am trying to place on my image.

Photoshop :: 66.7% Zoom Max's Out CPU Usage

Jan 22, 2009

if I open a shot at say 4000x3000 pxs in CS4, all is normal, however, when I zoom to 66.7% the CPU usage jumps to 80-90% and remains there. At all other zoom levels CPU usage is as low as expected, this seems to apply to any file format and is totally repeatable.

System Specs:
Design Premium CS4
Vista Home Premium SP1 (32 Bit)
4gb Ram
Dual Core E6750
2 Internal Hard Disks (250/500 Gb / 164/411 free) Scratch disk on Drive D
Nvidia 8600GT 256Mb
Memory Usage In Prefs set @ 70% - 1151MB (default)

Photoshop :: CS4 And RAM Usage With Vista

May 22, 2009

I just installed CS4 on a computer with 4 Gigs of RAM and Vista Ultimate, 32 bits. I have been led to believe that CS4 will use most of 4 Gigs of RAM if memory usage in Photoshop is set high... like 96%. With the preference set to 96%, the performance screen indicates that only 1.6 gigs are being used by the program. That is the same as CS3 and/or CS2. Is there some other setting in CS4 I need to be dealing with?

Photoshop :: CS6 Constant 25% CPU Usage With Nvidia Card

Feb 23, 2013

i'm using Adobe Photoshop CS6 (Cloud) and have the latest version installed. I experience a high cpu problem when i want to zoom in the picture, then sometimes the cpu load of the CS6 process is constant on 25%. I tried the graphic advanced settings in CS6 from light, normal, extended. With the light setting it happens not so often, but sometimes it is there.
 
My driver version is 310.90, but this happened also with previous versions or with beta 313.96.My graphic card is a Gigabyte GeForce GTX 470 Super Overclock with two different monitors connected.
 
I want to buy a newer Nvidia card in the near future, but it would be not so good if the problems persists.I can work more or less with CS6, that is not the problem, but the constant cpu load bothers me.
