Memory endless growth Mac M1

[Corrado282216293d9h]

I have a MacBook Pro 16gb ram and 500g disk. I often need to use it to convert a large amount of ARW sony raw pics to jpeg. I use script to do it in Photoshop in batches of thousands of pics.

My problem is that no matter what operting system (just updated to Ventura) and no matter what photoshop version (running 24.1.1) the system keeps on eating memory up to 80-90Gb than it restart itself.

I have had already a tech from Adobe connect to my pc and went trough the dance of uninstall reinstall a dozen times. System still does the same, memory keeps growing and growing untill it reset the pc.

Same job done on a 5 years old PC running windows works for days without a prob.

Since i found a lot of post similar to mine with ever growing memory in photoshop or in other app like lightbridge.

i have a question for tech dept.

What year is your MacBook Pro?

When it gets near to shutting down are the fans ramped up?

How much free space is on your drive?

Is that an SSD, Fusion or mechanical drive?

Are the jpegs being saved to the  internal drive or external drive?

Your using File>Scripts>Image Processor for the conversion?

Depending on your file sizes (especially RAW), 200 GB may not be enough to run bulk items in a script. That can get eaten away with temporary usage quickly.
