Hi,
This is a little off topic, but I am wondering why a Virtual Stack
requires the same amount of memory as a regular stack? I thought the
purpose of the Virtual Stack is to have only one image in RAM at a
time and thus reduce the RAM requirements - all other images in the
stack would reside on disk (or where ever). Perhaps I have that
wrong and if so would love to get some clarity on this issue. I have
been alerted by a user that one of my plugins that uses stacks is
bumping up against memory issues so I am keen to come up with a
workable fix.
Cheers,
Ben
