I clicked on menu
File--->New
and try to create one with 3000x15000 pixels (see attached snapshot).
Much to my surprise I got a warning popup that gimp will create an image with size of 475 MB.
A simple image with pure white background?
I guess its the uncompressed size (not .png or *.jpg format)
And yes the maximum image size in Preferences is about 128MB
What would be the recommended maximum image size for a computer with 16GB RAM?
Whats would happened if I create an image beyond my maximum?
Will the new image be saved (completely) into (and handled from) swapfile on SSD/hard disk?
Or will it be rejected?
