    Huma41: Meshon's advice is good. Determine your use case first, then your desired size, then set the resolution accordingly. Then rough out the map such that the composition is approximately what you want and measure a feature whose size you know. That will help you determine your scale.

    jugabyte: Are you in 32-bit or 64-bit Photoshop? The 32-bit version has more memory limitations. Also, you may simply be running out of RAM on your computer. You might want to version up and then flatten some of your layers in order to streamline the file.

    Right! I suspected this but didn't know it for a fact, thank you. I just recently upgraded my Adobe stuff so it would play well with my computer. I had CS4 running on a machine 5 years newer and I wasn't getting the performance I thought I should be. Now that I've upgraded I can re-start some of those old multi-layer high-resolution projects I was stalled on...

    cheers,
