The new 64-bit Filter Forge has access to all of your RAM – we won't hit the theoretical limit of 16 billion gigabytes any time soon. Filter Forge 6.0 features full 64-bit support both on Windows and macOS, a new native macOS version rewritten for Cocoa, over 30 updated components for filter creation, and improved user interface for reordering filter presets via drag-and-drop. It was more than enough when we started Filter Forge development in early 2000s but this limitation has severely hampered performance on modern computers. Our legacy memory manager was only able to access 1.5 GB or memory. The most immediate benefit of the 64-bit version is being able to address more than 4 GB of RAM.
After years of code rewriting we are excited to bring you a full 64-bit version to offer gains in performance and stability! With 64-bit systems now being commonplace, Filter Forge users on both Windows and Mac should be able to process larger images than the 32-bit version can handle.
