ipc memory or image size to big for system when trying to load plugins

[stilabel2]

I get this error message when trying to open any of my PS6 plugins I have tried to allocate more memory and also reduce the picture size but nothing seems to work.

thanks,

Mike

Hi Mike,

 

Which plugins are you trying to use?  Also, we are still working on the plugin side of things so mixed results at the moment are too be expected.  If you can let us know which plugin is giving the error, we can at least highlight it for further testing.

focus magic, picture code, topaz.

some of these worked about 3 versions prior to this last downlaod.   some just crash and the software closes and some give the error message.  Otherwise I really like the program.

I Have the same problems with the Topaz Collection and OS X 10.11.4. With prior versions from OS X I have not this problems. Sorry i mean OS X 10.11.4

Hi Onlymac

Which issues are you having with Topaz plug-ins? Can you be more specific please?

[Onlymac]

Yes i Can!

 

 

 

The Topaz Photolab FX worked with Affinity Photo and OS 10.11.3 But not with The OS X 10.11.4.

 

Ich habe mich deshalb schon mit dem Support von Topaz in Verbindung gesetzt. Über Photopan FX war es möglich, alle Plugins zu nutzen auch wenn sie durch Affinity  direkt nicht unterstützt worden. Nun funktioniert keines der Plugins. Mein Imagenomic Plugin hingegen funktioniert ohne Probleme.

Onlymac,

 

Have you seen How to Fix Cannot Proceed: IPC Memory verify fail on the TopazLabs web site?

Hi Onlymac,

Download and reinstall the latest version of the plug-in (available from Topaz Labs website) that's giving you trouble.

Out of curiosity, what's the size of the images you are working with? Are you working with 16 bit images?

[Onlymac]

Hi,

 

16 Megapixel but the problem was also by 3 or 4 Megapixel. The Pictures were JPEG with 8 Bit. Same Picturesize were used before i make a clean install without problems.

By "clean install" do you mean you erased/reformatted the drive & after reinstalling OS X, downloaded & installed fresh copies of Affinity & the plugins again, or did something else?

 

People use the phrase "clean install" to mean several different things, some of which do not actually guarantee 100% "clean" results, such as copying or reinstalling apps from local backups that may themselves have become corrupted.

[Onlymac]

Yes, the Hard drive was clean (All Partitions Without the EFI Partition was deleted). The Fusion drive was rebuilt and OS X was installed from a external bootable drive. Than I installed all Apps and I doesn't use the backups from Time Machine. The Time machine drive was also cleaned before I make the first Backup after installing OS X.

For those who run into this error message (IPC Memory Fail), after updating to Mojave and trying to load my Topaz Labs Star Effects filter, I got the error. Finally figured out I had to go to the v1.7.3 APhoto prefs/Plugins and do the Authorize Global to get it working again. Hope this helps.

I have just updated Photoshop CC (21.1.3) and now Topaz Adjust 5 no longer works.  Error message "IPC memory in use or Image size too big for system".

Advice to re-install Topaz not helpful.  I cannot re-install Topaz Adjust 5.  I have to upgrade to Topaz Adjust AI at a cost of $179!.  Any ideas?

Welcome to the Serif Affinity forums.

Your question sounds more appropriate for either a Photoshop support forum or (more likely) a Topaz support forum. It really isn't relevant to Affinity Photo, in my opinion.
