I have a 7-image panorama that stitched beautifully in CS6. It is, of course, huge.
364 M
18309 x 6959
print 61" x 23" @ 300 ppi

I want to use content aware around it but am getting an error message. "Could not fill because there is not enough memory (RAM). I have a huge system, but . . .
Anyway, how do I go about resizing this so I can have a go at the fill? I don't want to lose any more than I have to.

Try this: Increase canvas size. Copy a decent sized slice from one edge into the new layer - try using content away scale from there. Repeat for each edge. Afterward, you should have some overlap of image to expanded edges - you can use a mask to remove what doesn't look quite right.
Hopefully that makes sense. Others may have different ideas, of course =)

Also, I'm not sure what you are running in regard to hardware / OS, but users can sometimes allocate a certain amount of RAM to Photoshop.
This may help

First, can you change Photoshop's RAM allocation and/or increase the available scratch-disk space?

How much area are you trying to fill in, and how much detail in those areas?

How big do you actually intend to print it?

Can you crop slightly instead of filling-in? You probably need to crop and/or add a border anyway since you don't have an exactly even aspect-ratio right now.

If you eventually want to print full-size I'd save a copy of the PSD file scaled to exactly 50% of the original, do the cloning on a separate layer, then seeing if the retouch layer can be imported back into the original and scaled-up 200% ... this will probably work better the less detail you have (sky is better than leaves) ...

Another video that may help.

Thanks, tate and GeneralE. I will watch videos, mull over your suggestions, work on it.
