Hi. I'm running Windows 10 Pro, on a fairly old Gigabyte motherboard (965P-DS3). A 32 bit system. Installed with GIMP 2.8.22.
With :
* 4Gb installed physical memory
* 3.50Gb total physical memory
* 1.93Gb available physical memory
* 7Gb total virtual memory
* 5.15Gb avialable virtual memory
* 3.50Gb page file space
I think my jpg file is 15380 pixels x 10511 pixels. File size 39.9Mb.
GIMP opens the file fine. But it crashes when I try to convert from rgb to monochrome. It does about one quarter of the conversion then reports a Glib error and a failure to allocate so many bytes.
Apparantly then, this is memory issue, I have insufficient RAM. Even though I have 4Gb of installed RAM. I think Windows 10 is eating up a lot of it.
Can I use a 16Gb memory stick I have to solve this issue? Any other solutions? Thanks. Rich
