Re: OT: TIF problems

Photoshop uses its own swapfile and not the operating system one. PaintShop 
Pro doesn't. this dates back to the first versions of Photoshop when MacOS 
didn't support virtual memory.

I used to get CAD drawings that had been exported as TIF files, they were 
of
similar ludicrous pixel dimensions to yours. I was able to work with them 
on
my AMD 1600 MHz machine with 512 MB system memory. I think I had a 1.5 GB 
swap
file set. Although you knew you were working with a large file, it 
certainly
didn't crash or hang. The software I used was Adobe PS 7.
