I am have trouble re saving my images, re large files 24x30 at 300dpi, enough for posters, re my collages for DPC prints.

At the moment unable to do so, due to Adobe photo shop saying to me, that I don't have enough memory to to web format, to complete the task.

Can anyone please HELP me with what I can do to fix this please.

Add RAM to your computer.

And make your 24x30 designs 150dpi instead of 300.

I tried save as, did a jpeg, chose the highest compression and it worked, then saved as a tif and that worked also. After a PC reboot, opening only PS, I was able to re-open and save for web.

And for some less drastic advice:

Maybe you could tell Photoshop it can have a bit more % of your existing memory. Edit > Preferences > Memory and Image Cache. Adjust the percentage slider to make more RAM available to Photoshop.

Also, how often are doing an Edit > Purge while you work? If you're not a heavy user of the History palette, it might be a good idea (when working with such large files) to get used to doing an Edit > Purge > All every once in awhile.

I think you have hopefully fixed the problem, as I did all that you suggested. I was able to save to web, re my collages at 30x40
at 150dpi for DPC prints.

I found when I went into edit, preferences, memory, and then Image Cashe, I had only 53% memory available, so increased the slider as suggested..... I saved this, and then shut down the computer, and then re booted the system. I then was successful at saing my large image re saving for web. Thanks heaps.....

I will know if it fixed the problem re my image not at the moment being accepted bu DPC print quality. Hopefully this has fixed the problem for me. I will let you know.

Can someone tell me what "Purge" does please.....

that depends on what you are purging.
generally to remove, or getting rid of.

From the Photoshop online help (version 7.0):

"To free memory used by the Undo command, the History palette, or the Clipboard (Photoshop):

Choose Edit > Purge, and choose the item type or buffer you want to clear. If already empty, the item type or buffer is dimmed.

Important: The Purge command permanently clears from memory the operation stored by the command or buffer; it cannot be undone. For example, choosing Edit > Purge > Histories deletes all history states from the History palette. Use the Purge command when the amount of information held in memory is so large that Photoshop's performance is noticeably diminished."

Simple as it seems, this is really a great piece of advice. For getting the most out of very small files, "Save for Web" is very useful. For very large files, there's no real benefit over "Save As" because the compression algorithms are the same and the space saved by not saving the metadata is not worth mentioning in such a large file.

yeah, and then you also suggested the other way as well... sort of went around in a circle.
