Problem

Insufficient memory to read image.

Getting error: Insufficient memory to read image, when importing an
image or saving image .
TIFF image can be Raster Referenced and convert to HMR in Image
Manager.

Product: MicroStation V7
Version: 07.01.00.62
Area: Raster

Solution

The image is too large for the system RAM to handle.
(Most likely reason)

Other possible reasons:
Some TIFF images may not conform to the TIFF spec.

Possible solutions:
- Increase Virtual Memory on system.
- Add additional Physical Memory to system.
- Use Raster Reference or Raster Manager.

Notes:
Raster Reference/Manager reads images much more efficiently and uses
memory roughly proportional to image size.
Image import fully un-compresses the image which can be very large and
use a lot of memory.
