hello, it's the first time I encounter this problem. The first time I edit 10-20 photos in camera raw and then the application crashes, now I looked at the activity manager and I see that camera raw uses 15-18 gb of ram for raw editing, until now it was taking up around 5-8 gb of ram. I haven't made any changes to the settings so far, there would be no reason for this situation to happen. Please help me with an advice. Thank you

Hi @Victor Mihai308283262qrm 

 

Thanks for reaching out! I hear your concerns and want you to know I'm here to assist you.

What is the file format of the images, and which version of the application have you installed? Would you mind sharing your system specification and workflow?

 

Open Camera Raw and go to Preferences (on Windows, Edit > Preferences; on Mac, Camera Raw > Preferences). In the Preferences dialog box, navigate to the Performance tab. Adjust the settings to optimize performance based on your system's capabilities. You can try adjusting the Camera Raw Cache Size and the GPU settings to see if it improves RAM usage and overall stability. Camera Raw uses a cache to improve performance when working with RAW files, so in the Camera Raw Preferences dialog box, go to the File Handling tab and click on the "Purge Cache" button to clear the cache.

 

Let us know how it goes.

 

Best,

Ranjisha
