A couple of things to clarify:
First, this is posted in the Lightroom Classic community but as I post this (19 Dec) the link is to Lightroom system requirements, not Lightroom Classic. They’re very similar, but not identical and this might matter for some things.
Second, there has been a long-standing (we’re talking years) issue with Adobe system requirements in that the VRAM requirements have never been sufficiently clear enough for the many Mac models that do not have traditional discrete graphics. As I understand it, Intel integrated graphics on Macs had a hard upper limit of 1.5GB VRAM, but you only got that much if you had the maximum amount of RAM installed. On Intel Macs with integrated graphics only, 8GB RAM would provide less than 1.5GB VRAM. And yet Adobe applications “requiring” 2GB VRAM have run on those Macs for many years. In addition, there has been no easy way for owners of Macs with Intel integrated graphics (or now, Apple unified memory) to know if enough VRAM will be available, before buying a Mac. (If you already have an Intel Mac, you can check graphics memory in the Graphics panel in the macOS System Information app.)
So, for example, I have a 2018 MacBook Pro with Intel integrated graphics that has run many versions of Adobe software requiring 2GB VRAM, and even today it can generate AI masks including people masks. But macOS System Information says it has 1536MB VRAM — according to Adobe system requirements, some Adobe photo apps should have cut it off long ago.
It’s understood that the question of “how much VRAM does Intel integrated graphics get” is fading as Apple transitions to Apple silicon. But the issue actually persists with Apple silicon, because now with Unified Memory, macOS System Information does not report the available VRAM at all, dynamically assigning system memory to VRAM without the limit that Intel Macs had.
Going forward, Adobe system requirements need to be better than they are today, helping Mac users answer the question: If a user’s Mac does not have traditional discrete graphics (which today, means almost all new Macs), how does a Mac user know whether their Mac meets the 2GB VRAM requirement…especially before a purchase, since VRAM does not appear on Apple pre-sale tech specs?
Hi there, so I use Lightroom Classic and it's updated to V12.2, and I use a Macbook Pro, 13-inch, 2020, and it has been updated to macOS Ventura. I will post a screenshot with all the specs. Previously, about a few months ago I was able to use the People mask just fine and it worked fantastically. But now my Lightroom is saying my computer does not have anough graphics memory to support this feature? Could someone let me know if this is actually the case or if it's a bug? And how I can troubleshoot it, preferably without having to buy a whole new laptop! I'd love to be able to use this mask, as it's so effective and helpful for my workflow. Thank you!
Hello.
Yesterday I was using lightroom classic and I noticed the error dialog about people masking disabled due to a memory issue (not enough memory for graphics to use the function).
I read about VRAM specs, and the question is:
why mi mac bought in 2020, that worked perfectly till the last update, now isn't able to use this funcion?
Is this a bug or adobe just want me to spend money for a new graphic card?
Thanks for the help,
Riccardo
