Memory Error photoshop

Question

Hello everyone,

It's my first post on the website and I need some help for a problem I have seen today.

When I am in the photoshop software, I try to use the "content aware" function but an error message appears: "Could not fill because there's not enough memory".

So it's impossible to use the "content aware".

I have photoshop 20.0.3 and I have 16 Go of Memory (RAM). I don't understand the problem because I have enough memory on my computer.

I look into the "Preferences => Performance" window in photoshop and just 2 Go was allocated for Photoshop, whereas I have 16 Go on my computer.

Can someone have an idea to fix this problem ?

Thank you for your help.
