Can the max number of images open limit be extended of photoshop

[steven_0341]

Hi,

I have taken e.g. 500 photos for photogrammetry and have processed them all in camera raw, making all the same appearance, adjusting exposure etc, then applied denoise, and waited 2 hours whilst it does that, then cannot open them all as after a while max number allowed open into pshop latest 26.5 is reached.

Nvidia 3070 card, 64Gb DDR4 corsair vengeance pro ram on Mbd.

is the limit a photoshop thing ?

How does one extend that limit ?

Cheers

I'm not aware of any hard limit, but generally, the limiting factor for handling large amounts of data is your scratch disk. You'll probably need at least a TB free disk space for this. RAM is way past insignificant and irrelevant.

Baically, with enough free disk space, Photoshop can handle anything you throw at it.

Why do you want to open (render) 500+ raw camera files into Photoshop at once?

ACR can batch process all open + selected raw files to rendered files, without needing to open them into Photoshop:

Depending on workflow and edits, if all of your images are in a single folder, a script might be better at opening them in smaller batches while the script keeps track of the next file(s) to open.
