Hi, I may be wrong, but I think the pictures are loaded into you GPU memory, not the CPU RAM... I solved this problem by batch processing my photos in some external software to reduce their weight. worked fine.

OK.
For a slideshow, i will use [pix_buffer] or [pix_multiimage]... My preference is for [pix_buffer].
With [pix_buffer], you also need [pix_buffer_read] to select the image you want to show (see help about these two objects)
But, I think, it is a good idea to reduce the resolution of your pictures to fit your [gemwin] resolution...

I used pix_image! I haven't tried that, but perhaps that might work. I may just end up cutting down on my images.

It is strange though, because my 'sllideshow' is set to loop and when it starts again, the previous images that were already opened, open again even though the 'out of memory, can't allocate memory for an image' error comes up.

Thanks, Jack!

Hello,

What is the object you used to load images with Gem ?
Have you tried to reduce the resolution of your images (to fit your screen) before to load them ?

Hi,

I am currently using GEM to create a slideshow of images and videos. However, after a while of loading images, PD stops loading them and the console shows up with this error:

'out of memory!

Can't allocate memory for an image.'

And then shows the file path of the image that it tried to load saying that the liading of it failed.

Any ideas as to how to fix this problem?

Thanks!
