CUDA runs out of memory *only* when priming with a starting image

[SilverChimerawing]

Hi all,
I've been trying out Deep Daze without issue so far on an RTX 3060 Ti. However, I'm running into an odd "CUDA out of memory" error when trying out the starting image feature.

A command such as the following gives the dreaded error: imagine "furry lizard" --start-image-path "D:\Pictures\Varanus_salvator_-_01.png" --save-progress --save-every 100. The resolution of the input image seems to make no difference, as I found when trying it on several copies resized to half, 1/4, 1/8 and even 1/16 of the original resolution.
However, an otherwise identical command, such as imagine "furry lizard" --save-progress --save-every 100, initiates image generation without problems.

Thanks for any help you can provide.

I have this same problem. Tried the same things to fix it. Running on a 3070 with 8GB of ram.
