User Guide

• Free up memory before running the filter by using the Purge command.

• Allocate more RAM to Photoshop. If necessary, exit other applications to make more memory available to

Photoshop.

• Try changing settings to improve the speed of memory-intensive filters, such as Lighting Effects, Cutout, Stained

Glass, Chrome, Ripple, Spatter, Sprayed Strokes, and Glass filters. (For example, with the Stained Glass filter,

increase cell size. With the Cutout filter, increase Edge Simplicity, decrease Edge Fidelity, or both.)

• If youplantoprint to agrayscale printer, convertacopy of theimage to grayscalebeforeapplyingfilters.However,

applying a filter to a color image and then converting to grayscale may not have the same effect as applying the

filter to a grayscale version of the image.
