Hello everyone (and Mike)
I'm finally getting back to QImage after a three year hiatus, I have to say I find Ultimate a definite progress.

I agree that the resize algorithms, I think they are much superior than the other famous competitor.

However, I have a question: I am expanding a picture to 60x40, because I need to send it to a service.

Ultimate does the job, but if I select a resolution that is for example 360 dpi terminates with an out of memory error.
At 360dpi the image size would be around 0.9 GByte, so it shouldn't even be a problem of 32 vs 64 bit data structures.

The error above happens if I save in jpg (quality 95)
If I try to save TIFF, I receive a message that not enough disk space is available, even if I have 1.3 TB free on that disk.

Interestingly enough, even if the I got the error, the jpg file was saved and I can open it in GIMP with no issues

Am I doing something wrong?

Thank you
Marco Brambilla

Thank you Fred for your reply.
You are right, I missed some important information, sorry!

I have win7x64, with 12 GB of Ram.

I am selecting a jpg image, source resolution 3447x2998

In the Print to File I select 60x40, 360 dpi, sharpen 5.
I browsed into the folder, so am adding the image directly from the QImage GUI, clicking the "+" sign.
I then select fit to page in the menu in the lower-right corner of the image in the queue.

In the Print to File window I select JPG, quality 95 and select a directory on the C Drive.

The one item that might be worth mentioning is that the drive I'm using is encrypted by TrueCrypt

The result of Help|Analyze is:
Start: 2147 MB
Addl: 1265 MB
Now: 838 MB

Windows Resource Monitor claims I have 4.4GB of Ram in standby and 2504 free, for a total available of 6981 MB

Thank you again
Marco

Hello again Fred

Having bought the registered version, I can now confirm that v2014.240 solves the issue. I have been able to print directly to TIFF

By the way, I think in another message you were wondering why 360, which is a resolution quite high, especially when resizing an image by 500%
The reason is that I have analyzed a few services (I wish I had a 44" printer at home...) and the RIP or driver they use does not do a very good interpolation, so I want to send them something as good as I can get it with QImage.

Thank you for the support.
