Question

Photoshop consumed too much of RAM (more than 30gb of RAM)

I have a PSB project file and the file size is 7gb. But it takes more than 30gb of RAM which is insane. I checked Activity Monitor from Mac and Photoshop itself used up to 45gb of RAM!! Seriously?

 

I have no idea why Photoshop consumes a lot of RAMs but this is something that I can not understand. Is this because Adobe Photoshop's optimizations are still poor?

Look in Preferences > Performance. 

How much RAM are you allocating to Photoshop?

 

Look in Scratch Disk.  How much free Scratch Disk space do you have?

I maxed out the RAM storage. 

 

The scratch disk has 1TB of free space. SSD based.
