Does anyone know if 258,680 K of memory usage for Photoshop is right? I am getiting errors all of the sudden today and my photoshop is shutting down unexpectedly. I have 512K of ram right now. Trying to find out why this thing is closing out on me like this. It is a new computer with only a few programs installed into it with maybe 300,000k memory being used. ... bleh!

yeah, i've gotten up to 400- 500mb usage with some huge multi-layer files (were talking 40+ good-sized layers).
a good way to clean up usage between images is to shut down ps completely then start it up again. but this might not be necessary with new versions or mac ver.

well... my file is only 6megs in size... do you guys think it can still produce a file with much memory needed? I DO have heaps of layers though.

also, if you do a lot of memory-intensive routines, such as copy-paste, this is also to be expected.
