IMAGE PROCESSOR causes memory to run out

[default4h2i38vxp8yv]

Using the IMAGE PROCESSOR (FILE->SCRIPTS->IMAGE PROCESSOR),  with a large number of files, the memory being used by Photoshop continues to go up and up until the computer runs out of memory.

VERSION CS2022  

To reproduce:
resize a large number of images using the image processor.
Have the ACTIVITY monitor open on a mac and watch the memory usage climb and climb...

Can you give us a rough idea of how many images your processing and how big the files are?

Hi Jeff

Thanks for the quick response.

The images are mostly 12 megapixel, 5-6MB, jpegs from my Nikon D300.
Was processing them to size down to 2000 pixels, JPEG 12.
Was doind a number of folders from my image archive, varied numbers of images in each folder.
easily 200-400 in each one however.

As it processed each image, the memory GB used kept going up and up and up.
Till it went past the native 16gb ram and started using the swap.
Until it ran out of harddrive space and then crashed.
