photogram -> Importing large resolution photos to projects. (10/3/2013 6:00:10 PM)

I have just purchased Photo Shop 3.5 and downloaded it. I am using Windows 8. I formerly used Print Shop 2.0 with Windows XP. My problem is that when I try to import 16mp photos taken with my camera, they will appear in my image tray, but when I try to add them to my project I am limited to three, sometimes 4 pictures, in a project. I am told that my project requires too much memory to proceed. Using PS 2.0 in XP I could import and edit as many as 10 -12 photos. Can someone suggest a solution for this problem? I upgraded to PS 3.5 thinking that it would be more compatible with Windows 8.

In addition to being limited to 3 or 4 photos per project, when I tried to print the project, a box appeared saying that "the project could not be rendered." I tried saving as a jpeg and a pdf, but with the same result when I tried to print. I would appreciate some insights and suggestions as to how I might solve these problems.

16 MP photos are super-overkill size unless you plan to print each one at 11x14 inches. If you want to make a photo collage using a dozen photos and each photo is 16 MP, I have no doubt that the collective file size will crash the program. (Probably most programs, not just Print Shop.)

Crop and downsample your photos and bring these copies into Print Shop. Win8 probably has a photo-editing program that can make resized copies of your photos. (Win 7 has Windows Live Photo Gallery) As an approximation, a 2 MP photo prints very well at 4x5 size. So nine such photos would give you up to a 12x15 inch collage poster.

Fast Stone Image resizer is what I use to resize those photos and shrink them down filesize. Its free and works super great.
