[magick-users] Conjure and big images

[Mark Herzberg]

Hi list,

I use the imagemagick app "conjure" to merge several images into one  
big image.
The resultimage should be 3200x4800px and i want to merge up to 9  
images with a size beetween 1800x1800px and 6400x4800px.

When i start conjure (with the configfile stated below) the server  
runs out of memory and crash after one or two minutes.

Is there any resolution how to merge such big files without crashing  
the server?
