Hi,

I have a problem with memory when trying to load more pictures .....

So what I do is , I load images into PictureBox and keep them there for further processing ..... so user can see, select, add etc ....

For testing I'm loading 1.3MB tiff's ...

Now the problem occurs when I try to load more pictures (all pictures are the same ones)... because each and every picture

takes cca. 33MB in memory ..... now I should be able to load at least 40-50 images at onec ..... so this makes cca. 1.5GB of memory ... and ofcourse i get Out Of Memory .....

Is there any way to reduce this memory ?

I already tried to reduce quality of images, but this conversion takes too much time for all this images .....

Any help is appreciated.

Thx,

Kris
