Lightroom (and PS) using excessive memory

[stephend52100783]

I am running the latest version of LR 11.0.1 on a new MacBook Pro with teh M1 Max chip that has 64GB of internal  memory and 2TB of storage. I am consitently getting and "Out of Appication Memory" notices and on occasion LR is running in excess of 30GB of memory and if I an simultaneoulsy running PS that coud also be using in excess of 35GB. I never had this problem while running my old MacPro that only had 32GB of memory and 1TB of storage. Both machines are runing MacOS 12.0.1 (Monteray). Any help/guidence would be appreciated. (Note that I already uninstalled and then reinstalled both PS and LR.)

Check through the community. There have been a number of people reporting memory leaks with Monteray. I had one and did a clean of my system using MacClean which seems to have sorted out the problem. There are some other solutions below.

I have exactly the same issue with LR Classic or Cloud (desktop).
On Macbook Pro M1 13 inches 16Go... On Monterey...
We are waiting for updates from Adobe and Apple maybe...

Known M1 problem with Apple, not a problem with Adobe or any other software mfg. Memory leak issue.

You can search the web on that.

Might relate to mouse pointer.
