Catastrophe: Out of Memory!

With modern 64-bit processors and operating systems, actually running out of memory is difficult, since the operating system simply assigns more virtual memory, and the application runs slower and slower while the disk runs faster and faster ("thrashing").

If you get an out-of-memory error, it probably means one of the following:

- Your machine doesn't have enough free space on your system disk for all the virtual memory required by SynthEyes with other apps.

- You've asked for something requiring really a lot of memory, such as a huge image.

- There's a SynthEyes bug.

The first item is little understood. You'll need to free up space on the drive, or reduce the amount of RAM cache that SynthEyes uses.
