I’m getting this error in photoshop CS whenever I try to open a large TIFF file (> 10 mb).
I’ve been using the demo version for weeks, and it worked fine. I just installed the purchased version and now I’m getting this error.
The weird thing is that I can open 90 mb .psd files with CS, so it’s not really a RAM issues.
Plus, I can open the TIFF files with Photoshop 7, so it’s not a windows/computer issue.
FYI I’m running windows XP pro with 512 mb ram.
Here’s what I’ve tried so far:
1) Increased the memory usage slider to 80% (370 mb).
2) defragged the hard drive.
3) changed the scratch disks to various disk drives.
4) Upped the windows virtual memory
The settings seem the same as Photoshop 7, but I still can’t open large tiff files. Anyone else have this problem?

CS seems to be a little buggy when handling a series of large TIFF files. Using the same workflow as used without incident in v7, once in a great while I’m experiencing system lock-ups with CS. As usual, saving work frequently is a good idea.
