Hi All.
I'm getting the dreaded "Out of Memory" error when stacking images in DSS. When I enable 2x drizzle I get the error at the very end of the stack when it tries to generate the autosave.tif file. When I stack the 36mpxl images from my camera I get the error as well except it appears to manage to finish saving the file before giving me the error.
Now before someone says "Turn off 2x drizzle" I want to ask why?
I have a new computer. 16GB of RAM. I took a careful look at my system during the stack today. Stacking 16mpxl images with 2x drizzle showed no spike in memory usage. It stayed at 800MB ONLY throughout the entire stack right to the point where it complained about memory. No issues with harddisk space and pagefile usage was non-existent at the time either. Also at no point did DSS approach the 32bit memory page limit of 3.2GB nor the 2GB artificial limit which shouldn't be present in Windows 7 anyway.
So rather than simply not using 2x drizzle or permanently shooting 16mpxl images, do any of you know what the issue is or how to work around it since it's clearly not a legitimate out of memory message?
