need help with Camera Raw

[krispykremer]

Can anyone help me? I've just bought a new pc and installed CS3 on it but i'm having problem converting RAW files to jpegs. When i try to batch save a set of images a message box "Camera Raw save status" comes up saying "there was not enough memory"

Is this about my RAM?

Anyone got any ideas?

It might be, but first check your settings in Photoshop preferences-performance:

What are the specs of your computer?

I'm on an Apple (dual 2.3 GHz + 5 Gig of Ram), so this may not apply.
But if I open and process more than twenty-five/thirty RAW files at a time,
things slow down to a crawl. They still open. Just takes longer than I would like.

If you have your photoshop settings optimally adjusted, you are still looking
at a giant processing equation that takes into account not only your machine's
speed and RAM, but also the size of the RAW files, the number of files you are
opening, how much swap space you have allocated on your drive, how full your
drive is, etc...

Could it be that you need to open and process (i.e. convert to .jpg) fewer RAW files at a time?

PS - I also find creating an action and automating the conversion to be a tremendous help.
