To be honest I am having lots of trouble running Amiga Forever and Deluxe Paint. First of all, I can't configure more than 8 megas of fast RAM
You might wanna check if Amiga Forever has an option to set Z3Mem. If so, set this as high as possible. Now you should have some more memory available.
Deluxe Paint was wonderful, it even can work with 24 bit files, but it doesn't handle non Amiga screen modes at all and it can't use more graphic memory :-( than the 2 megs of the Aga chipset.
You might wanna think about switching to photogenics or arteffect.
