Jim, I would suggest that, rather than load the entire meg image into PhotoImpact that you do a partial load. You can select whatever portion of the image you're working on. This would help solve a few problems in that it wouldn't take nearly as much memory.

If you have any third party plugins, you may want to uncheck the pointer to them because all of those loaded when you load PI. And last but not least, if you have an excessive amount of fonts, they too eat up memory as all of them are loaded when the program loads.
