ME>> As I understand it the whole 48bit picture isn't held in memory at once<< JE>>Yes Martin it is. Which is one of the reasons you need more memory in than in R2.<< Thanks, John! I have been going around thinking that the "RENDER-BAND-WIDTH=10" had something to do with it!! Soo if it realy has the hole image at 48 (or 64 bit for alpha), it will take up twice as mush memmory for the output picture buffer as in R2. For a 1024×768 picture this would mean 4.7 MB instead of 2.35 MB, allocated for the buffer. Thats nice to know when making posters, as I usally do at 3000×2250, and it starts taking up MUSH more memmory! Thanks again for straighten out my question and putting me on the right track again<g>! <<And I'm always learning something new, which for me is one of the most enjoyable things in life. <g>>> Agree!! -M.E
