dmstraker 302 Posted January 6 load an image new layer gradient tool, draw a gradient move tool, select gradient layer and resize to smaller than main image draw another gradient on resized layer -- outline of layer in blue seems to be same size as original image, though reduced image layer appears ok. Repeat 4 and 5 Once this resulted in a whole system (win10) crash. Another time AP just bugged out and vanished. Some kind of memory leak or recursive spiral? Couple of processes fighting one another? Dave Straker Cameras: Sony A7R2, RX100V Computers: Win10: Chillblast Photo with i7-3770 + 16Gb RAM + Philips 40in 4K; Surface Pro 4 i5 Favourite word: Aha.

Ron P. 29 Posted January 6 Tried it, but AP wouldn't crash. It is strange that the resized layer suddenly grows as large and even larger than the original image.

Chris B 1,049 Posted January 7 Same for me Ron P. It wouldn't crash but I can't understand why it is growing... I'll see if I can get the crash on another machine but will probably get dev to investigate the size change. Thanks for the post dmstraker Update - I just had to do a hard reboot on my Windows machine. I just repeated step 4 and 5 one more time and my entire machine just locked up. I tried it on macOS and it locked up there but I was able to quit the app eventually. I think it's just increasing the pixel dimensions to something enormous. This issue is easier to reproduce on an already big image. I tried again on a 15,000 px x 15,000 px image and it only took one go to lock the app up. 1 dmstraker reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
