I seem to get out of memory messages when using PPaint 7 despite havingenough Ram to load the image. Why does this happen?

The problem is caused by Ppaint attempting to load the image into ChipRam. You may have 32Mb of memory in total but you can only have a maximumof 2Mb Chip. This is in most cases used for display so when you load animage that uses more than 2Mb you get the out of memory message. The trickis to get PPaint to use memory other than Chip RAM. Install the blitterlibrary that corresponds with the processor in your Amiga (for example,personal_68060_blit.library if you have a 060), from the PPaint CD to thePPaint:libs directory. Edit the PPaint:PPaint_Prefs/Startup_1.set, theline BLITBITS, change the personal_68000_blit.library to your new one.Load the program and look at the preferences. If "Use Amiga Blitter" isticked, deselect it and save the preferences. You can now load 2Mb+ images.
