Hi

My name is rohith.

     I was using photoshop 2018. While I was trying to save one file after editing, it is showing this error "Could not complete the Save/ Save As command because there is not enough memory (RAM)." I clearly have 13 GB remaining in my C Drive. Now I can't save my file which I edited.

     Can anyone please give me a solution on how to fix it as soon as possible?

Thanks in advance...

What does that have to do with RAM?

Please read this page on Photoshop Performance:

You can try freeing up RAM in Photoshop by closing all other images and invoking Edit > Purge > All.

I'm having the same trouble with Photoshop on my macOS. The instructions that apply to a desktop computer don't work.

Any advice on how to fix this would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thank you so much!

Have you been sent a fix for the 2020 adobe photoshop? I am having the same issue and it's driving me insane.
