Hi I am trying to load a 8 page .TIFF file using ImageList. In doing so i can watch the memory allocated for my application boosts upto almost 600M. The files is merely a 4.6M in the disk.
Is there a reason for this observation?

Hi Magick,
Thanks for the reference URL. It is quite intriguing that by design imagemagick consume that memory.
I just finished testing another 32 page TIFF file. This is merely a 2.8Mb in disk. To experiment I just called the ReadImages() in MagickNet and the memory consumed after loading was 1.6Gb.
my sample code is;
string file = "c:\temp\abc.tiff";
ImageMagickNET.ImageList imlist = new ImageMagickNET.ImageList();
imlist.ReadImages(file);
Message.Show("pause here to check the taskmanager memory usage");
When I check the memory in the task manager the cosumed memory is about 1.6Gb.
It does not look like an expected behaviour.
Anyone else experienced this behaviour?
