p.1 #1 · Genuine Fractals file size limit?


I just downloaded the Genuine Fractals Pro trial and tried it out on a scan of a slide that I intend to print at 20x30. When I try to run GF on the .psd file (which is ~220Mb), I get an error saying "The command "Genuine Fractals 6.0 Professional Edition Filter" is not currently available." But if I save a copy as a .jpg (file size 46Mb) it runs fine.

Thinking maybe it was a trial period limitation to strictly .jpg, I tried it on a smaller .psd and it ran fine.

I searched online, but couldn't find anything saying there was a file size limit. Maybe I just missed it. Does anyone know?

I've got 2Gb of RAM. I don't really have a dedicated scratch disc, and have never messed with the settings. I just looked, and its set to my C drive which only has 13 Gb free. I switched it to my storage drive which has 50 Gb free, shut down Photoshop, reopened and tried again. Got the same error.

I wonder if its because its a trial version. I've run file that big and had no problems.

not to hijack your thread but ill bet you $10 that if you try Alien Skins "Blow Up" youll like the results better than Genuine Fractals. Try the demo and compare the two results side by side - youll be amazed. I used to be a huge Genuine Fractals fan.
