| I've having an issue where Grome complains that it has run out of memory whenever 2GB is in use (which I can observe via the task manager), though there are 4GB available on the system. |

| Hi, all 32bit windows applications are limited to 2Gb of memory usage. This is an operating system memory address limit. We plan to make a 64bit version of Grome sometime in the future that will not have this limitation (which of course will run only on 64bit operating systems). |

| Ah, I see. Are the plans for 64-Bit version before Grome v2? |

| Yes, we plan to add it as a patch to version 1.xx but I cannot promise anything yet (depends on various others tasks to be completed first). We understand that this is serious issue for people that work with very big scenes in memory. Also with time more and more systems will have more than 2GB of memory and 64 bit support. For now you can use the swap system to discard parts of the scene from memory so you can edit very large scenes. |

| That's what we're doing currently. It would be nice to be able to have more tiles in memory at once though. Also, we need to export all tiles in 16-bit into a single large image which without memory paging isn't much use, as it stands. |

| Hi, you can export all the zones (tiles) into a single image even though some are swapped out on the disk. 16 bit raw export (from simple text exporter) does just that. It unswap and swap back zones as they are exported and constructs one big raw file on disk. |

| I'm having issues importing 16 RAW files into Grome. There appear to be some severe banding issues. I can include a screen if necessary. |

Please include a screenshot and also indicate your map size, format and other specifics of your data.
Thank you for the report,
