loading very big jpg - A1 @ 300dpi
May 3rd, 2010, 6:46am  
Hi,

Is it possible to load very big jpg file into processing ?
In this case it's A1 300dpi sized file ( 7016x9930 ).

I'm getting out of memory erros when I'm trying
to instantiate a file. On the other hand, when I'm increasing
max memory in processing prefs above ~2000 MB ( i have 8GB of physical memory installed ) I'm getting following error:

"Could not run the sketch (Target VM failed to initialize).
Make sure that you haven't set the maximum available memory too high."

Any ideas how to approach this problem ?
Thanks for any help!

The memory increase thread might be relevant. Basically, you might need a 64bit Java, if I understood correctly.
See also The truth about JVM max memory usage. Does it use only 2gb and ImageJ: Windows Installation.
