If you see a "NOT ENOUGH MEMORY" error message, do some or
all of the following (in order is usually best):
a. Save your drawing (SavDRW) and get it again (GetDRW)
without leaving PictureThis.
b. If you have much text "greek" it by pressing J (jabber).
c. Quit PictureThis and reload with lower curve limits.
d. If you have much text change the Text Background Save
setting to NoSave.
e. If you are in Kartoons mode, leave Kartoons mode (press
C) and reenter it (press K).
For more information see the PictureThis manual, Section 31.
