Okey, so I'm thinking this problem is acutaly due to a bugg somewhere but I'm not savvy enough to figure it out. I have a Drupal 4.7-b6 up and running, but whenever I try to "Add Photo" or "Mass Import" in Acidfree I get out of memory errors and the pictures shine with their absence. Checking around show's php is allowed to use a whooping 16 megabytes of memory, and even adding a small picture by itself I will run into this memory limit.

I dont realy know where to go from here, the hosting company wont let me increase the limit above 16M and it seems to me it should be enough, at least for single image uploads...

Sooo no it's probably not a bug. I changed the "Resolution of screen size image:" to 480x360 and cut my originals down to max 1600x1200 and it works... so it probably is a "true" out of memory problem...

Maybe there is a way to restructure the code a bit to not need soo high a peak at one time?

Possibly. File an issue with acidfree in http://drupal.org/project/issues/acidfree (after you check the existing issues) and see what happens.

But if your images were close to 16MB you shouldn't expect much and you may have to switch hosts or pay for more memory.

Depending on the amount of modules installed, a drupal installation may already consume > 8 MiB of memory. Images of 1600x1200 (depending on # bits/pixel) may be up to 7.5 MiB. Add a few temporary copies in memory and voila.
