You can increase your memory limit like so: convert -limit memory unlimited ... However, ImageMagick may still write to the pixel cache on disk if your system refuses to honor a memory request. You can limit the size of the pixel cache on disk with the disk limit option: convert -limit memory unlimited -limit disk 0 ... Here ImageMagick throws an exception if the image pixels are cached to disk. Last option is to use the Q8 version of ImageMagick rather than Q16. Q8 uses less memory than Q16. _______________________________________________ Magick-users mailing list [email protected] http://studio.imagemagick.org/mailman/listinfo/magick-users
