bets you can only see 3.5G of it in windows task manager

i dunno i deleted that qemu image a long time ago

lols. braine fail. I thought yu was Shyiya :S

well technically because of a weird bios its only 4095 MB not 4096MB (wtf did that last meg go?)

well at least you didn't confuse me for Margaret Thatcher on a cold day.....

what the hell.

why do we need to much ram

to gimp images that take up 2gb of ram so that you can forge government documents to get back into the country

what the hell

2 gigs of ram.

well its got 12 layers and is a full 8.5" by 11" at 2400 DPI

i mean how else is this nice nigerian prince supposed to get into the US and give me a cool $100,000,000 ONE HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS USD

what the hell, $100,000,000

who needs that much

I DO! i owe some money to these guys in an alley............................................................................................

4G isn't much. Seriously. I have programs that often go above 3G on their own.

and farnsworth will sometimes shoot up to 1gb easily

yeah, high res print quality images with >1 layers *does* consume memory really fast, especially with undo-cache

/me frequently exceeds 20 layers

yea i've got gimp set to bring my system to a crawl with undo if need be

and every layer has 2 images, the image itself and the mask

what the hell

who needs layers

accidentally opened 200 5MP images at once, once, took ages, but system survived the onslaught ( only just mind )

er, anyone whos doing real photo work uses layers.

multiple mspaints.exe

you can't do good things without layers

this is why i've still got 2gb of swap lying around, just in case

same effect as multiple layers, just works really fast.

/me has had to on occasion make 4G ram + 10G swap available

what the hell 10G swap.

4G ram

ayers

gim 2G

what the...

that was compiling openoffice in a tmpfs

oh i know that adventure of yours

i aprove of that one

actually i keep meaning to increase the swap size to 12gb or so for future proofing, since i want to get hibernate working again

12 what the hell

you can't do mask-painting without layers. and mask-painting is non-destructive

i have done layers, but not that advnaced

so i didn't find much use of them

i don't know what that mask is

i can do everything you can do with layers in paint

its hard to demonstrate, but basically, its painting where and where the layer is not

multiple copies of paint, then copy from one to another

no, you cant

yes you can

if you mess up, you copy over from other paint

you can't.

the portion you messed up

<- skilled at paint

yeah, and that will produce really shit quality

used paint before i had photoshop

ok take a black and white picture from a comic and color it in! with shading!

yeah

not to mention "oops, 1 pixel wrongs, have to go find out what its value was, omg lols "

yeah

that happens

but it works on a machine with over 9000KB of ram!

if this is the fastest growing plurk ever

seems to be.

your mum grew fastar

actually everything i said before is not true

i dunno why i made it up.

boredom

no, busy as hell

slacking off

Layers/Masks visual primer for people who dont' get it yet: imagebin.ca/img/TcA1RhR....

would like to see somebody suffer and try doing a progressive gradient image blend ... IN PAINT

PAINt

yeah. now apply that logic to photos and other existing works. it *doesn't* work out so good

kent, you just have to paw harder.

kent, pixel by pixel editing

and other advanced techniques

yeah, as well as copying partial pixels from source to destination one at a time with shading applied

ie: for me, simply blend 2 colours in paint. thats time consuming enough, now, blend 2 colours from 2 different images vertically on top of

each other, while moving left to right the density bias.

you'd be there for ever

lolpbollcks btw. If you can duplicate this with MS Paint you get an award for both amazingness and stupidity

quite pleased with the 8GB in his desktop. I'm programming Java, and I run a local vmware with apache and tomcat. 4GB wouldn't perform.

Yeah, that java thing just *eats* memory
