This problem only exists for frequency space convolution.

This can be fixed by using the channel structure, explained in the "Tiling an image" part of the manual. If a channel structure is introduced, then frequency space convolution can be done on each channel independently, thereby decreasing the number of pixels in each row and column, increasing the speed and decreasing the burden on the CPU.

Each row and column that is given to the FFT algorithm can be larger than the channel by half the PSF size. This will allow edge effects to not harm the convolution on the channels that are not lying on the edge of the image.

[field #13]                  Summary: Convolve on sections of image if input is too large
[field #14]      Original Submission: When the image size is too large, cut the image into smaller pieces and convolve them then stitch the separate convolved parts to make the output. Since by default Convolve makes heavy use of all the CPU cores in the frequency domain, if the image is too large (in width or height or both), it can take too long and the CPU will heat up to dangerous limits.
