Memory Recommendations

Occasional Users

A minimum of 4 GB RAM is required. These are graphics or GIS users who use Geographic Imager with medium sized data sets including some low-resolution or small coverage raster images.

Power Users

The recommended memory for a power user is 8 GB RAM or more. These are professional cartographers and GIS users who use Geographic Imager daily and works with large image files.

Memory Usage

Why is so much RAM needed to operate Geographic Imager? Adobe Photoshop requires a significant amount of RAM itself in order to run smoothly. In addition, image data sets are often large which increases the need for RAM even further. Image data sets contain raster data which must be stored in memory. Since Geographic Imager is adding georeferencing properties to Adobe Photoshop, this increases the file size, which increases the RAM requirements. In addition, Adobe Photoshop loads the entire file into memory rather than just reading it from disk, thus more RAM memory is required.

When importing a large number of files into Adobe Photoshop using Geographic Imager, notice that the amount of available memory will decrease rapidly and the computer may lose performance. This is due to the memory management. Geographic Imager reserves a fairly large amount of memory for each action, which may not properly returned when the procedure is done. The solution is simple: save your file, close it and open it again. It’s not even necessary to close Adobe Photoshop itself. By closing the file, the reserved memory is properly returned.

Memory Saving Tips

Many raster data files are large and when a series of such files is opened, you may find that the program starts to run more slowly. This is because scratch and memory allocations are being used up. The best solution is to periodically save your work, quit out of Adobe Photoshop and then restart. This will free up the available scratch memory.

The minimum number of undos can be reduced (since they all reside in memory).

Minimum System Requirements For Photoshop

You can set a primary and secondary scratch disk in Adobe Photoshop Preferences (menu Edit > Preferences > Performance) in order to draw additional storage from a partitioned or multi-drive environment.
