Thanks guys for all of the suggestions.

Stu I didn't have VM selected or a scratch disk so I corrected that oversight and tried working with the 1200dpi photo and this time it was ok didn't get the noise or the crash.

So thanks a  lot for your help.

From what I could find out about the scratch disk in 6.0 you select your hard drive or drives if you have more than one.  I read somewhere that once you shut down you have to reselect, is that a fact do you know.

Also when you look at the scratch sizes on the bottom of the image it gives 2 sets of numbers could you tell me what they  mean, ie my big photo had 455/93.1M at the bottom.

  I couldn't find any information about them in the help section.

I think you are correct about it being pretty large I think I'm going to stick with 800 dpi from now on.
