iMac ventura keeps running out of application memory when LRC is running

When running Lightroom Classic the iMac says it is running out of application memory.  My 2TB drive has 400GB available and my memory is 40.  It says LRC is using from 50 to 90 GB of application memory and forces a close down.  Am running on a 2017 iMac with 27" screen.  Can only update to Ventura.

Hey, @grrphoto. Welcome to the Lightroom Classic. I'll help you figure this out. 

Do you still see the same behavior with Lightroom Classic? Recent changes to Lightroom's Sync mechanics could be causing items stuck in the Sync queue to overuse RAM. 

 

If you're syncing in Lightroom Classic, you can log in to Lightroom Web (https://adobe.ly/3uv2zCA) and look for the Sync Issues category near the Deleted section on the left part of the screen. If there are any Sync issues, check the file name & the original upload source, apply small edits or tags to these images, and wait a while to check if the edits sync to the cloud.

 

If this does not help, ensure you have a backup of these images; you can clear them out and also delete them from the deleted section. Sync issues left in the Deleted section can still behave as a Sync Issue; you must also empty them from the Deleted section. After this change, let Lightroom sync for a while and check if it returns to normal.

Let me know how it goes. Thanks!

That may have helped.  I haven't been on much lately but I had 3 photos that were trying to synch.  I deleted them and have not had the issue again since then.  Hope that was the answer.  Thank you.
