Luigi9212 Posted March 19 Posted March 19 Hello, I use my Affity Suite on my Mac Studio and on my Windows Machine. My Studio has 512GB RAM and my Windows PC has 256GB. The Windows Version of Affinity Photo 2 supports 196656MB (about 196GB) of RAM but the Mac Version can only allocate 65536MB (about 64GB) of RAM. Will be sometime released a bug fix?

Luigi9212 Posted March 20 Author Posted March 20 No that's not true, I need it for Panoramas with 800+ Megapixels. So I need this amount of RAM.

Alfred Posted March 20 Posted March 20 10 hours ago, Luigi9212 said: 65536MB (about 64GB) of RAM 65536 MB is exactly 64 GB (or 65.536 GB, depending on which definition of GB you choose). It’s surprising that the Mac size limit is a third of the Windows size limit.

Not everyone can afford the luxury of putting that amount of RAM into their PC/Mac. There is no doubt that it is a bug that the RAM cannot be fully allocated.

Komatös Posted March 20 Posted March 20 @Luigi9212 After intensive research and a tip from a Serif Support Staff member, there are restrictions regarding the maximum memory that can be used by programs, based on the compiler used and the operating system platform. This is therefore not a bug, but a technical limitation.

Luigi9212 Posted March 20 Author Posted March 20 Photoshop can use about 400GB RAM. That doesn't have anything with the OS. I wrote to the Affity Staff. He wrote me that he has transmited to the developers.
