I’m trying to convert a very large jpg file to a tiled exr to make it more efficient. I have a memory allocation error when trying to convert using the exr tool. Is there a reason for this ? I have 32gb of memory. I tile size was set to 64 which seems very small to me. Should I be setting this higher (to 1024 or something) ?
Just to let you know that the original jpg file is 627mb
What is the resolution of this .jpg file? We can perform a test if you upload it somewhere and send a link to our support mail.
Hi. The res is 50190x50190 pixels. Pretty big !
I’ll upload it via wetransfer. Is your email: support@chaosgroup.com
Hi again,
No need to share the file. I’m getting the same issue here with jpg file and res. 50000x50000 on 32gb machine. Now will check on 64 gb machine and let you know the result.
Resizing the image to 40000x seems to work fine on 32gb.
okay. Good to know you are getting the same issue. Hopefully there is a way around this. The tiled exr files do seem to come out very large in file size.
This is actually a memory issue. To be able to handle such big resolution, large amount of free continuous memory is required. We can try to change the code for the EXR conversion to decrease the memory consumption for 8bit image format. Keeping the high dynamic-range for this conversions is not needed.
Can you resize this image to a smaller res. (40 000px) to complete the project?
Okay thanks. A resize is fine. Cheers
