Geez, virtualized memory has only been around DF> for 40 or so years, you'd think they'd figure it out by now. Well, Adobe is "learning", certainly. Every version from 5.0 upwards (I have seen the really older ones only on Mac so I can't compare) is more and more memory hungry even when doing the exact same operations. Also it doesn't reallocate the space it used. Fragments up memory severely. etc. I am looking into customising Gimp to look and control just like Photoshop :) Although I am afraid the Gimp's win32 port is not so stable as the main unix one, at least it wasn't few revisions back. Or I could go back to PS 5.0 which I got with a scanner ;-) Nah, there were definitely improvements in the later versions, that's true, but at severe cost. Best regards, Frantisek Vlcek
