Error: Not enough memory(RAM) for saving file

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!
