Remove tool 26.10 not enough RAM

[Kapture benoit]

update from 25.12  to 26.10

surprise to see the instability of the [ remove tool ]  after 3 to  4  stroke photoshop freeze and after 10s a message appear saying not enough RAM memories..

any workaround ?

I have 64g RAM

PS I did a clean uninstall of the previous photoshop version befor einstalling the new version 26.10

Please post the full Help > System Info from Photoshop.

This does come up from time to time. It is apparently GPU-related. The memory is used by the GPU, not Photoshop - but the complicating factor is that the GPU uses this memory performing tasks  directly called by Photoshop.

Some people have fixed it with a complete reset of preferences. The preferences contain the full application configuration, and corrupt preferences do tend to look like application bugs.

thanks @D Fosse for your reply.

GPU : nvidia RTX 4080 = enough memory...

it was a clean instal so no previous preference, start from scratch..

i just tried Photoshop complete resert preference, and it didn't change a thing...

remove tool after a few strokes photoshop freeze, for aboout 30secs, but that freeze time varies...

[Kapture benoit]

did another complete preference reset.

open the same image

choose remove tool / mode: auto

check : remove after each stroke

check: create new layers.

And remove tool run prefectly with those setting...

second test:

choose remove tool

check: remove after each stroke

uncheck create new layer.

ad one new layer(manually)

And remove tool run prefectly with those setting...

third test:

choose remove tool

uncheck: remove after each stroke

uncheck create new layer.

ad one new layer(manually)

And remove tool run prefectly with those setting...

what make photoshop freeze when remove tool is selected; it's if prior to use the moove tool. I go to filter/CameraRawFilter/Distraction Removal People/clic OK.

back in photoshop, ad a new layer and few strock with the removal tool.. Photoshop frezze

@D Fosse 

data from [ task manager  / processes / memory ] normally is around 17% to 25% when doing heavy load in photoshop...

most of the time 17% to 20%, so during testing:

memory was at 17%

when photohop freeze in a few second it raise to 85 up to 99% memory !!

when the popup windows appear [ could not complete because there is not enough memore RAM ].

soon as this popup windows appear, in less then a second the memory drop back to 17%...

If I'm not mistaken that's not the first time Photoshop had this kind of beavior...

Hey, @Kapture benoit. Thanks for creating the detailed post and adding the details. 

I've tried to recreate this on two seperate machines with the info you've provided. Are the scratch disks set up on the external drives? Where do you keep your source documents? Internal, or external drive? 

Try launching Photoshop when holding the SHIFT key to skip loading third party plugins. 

Go to Edit > Preferences > Image Processing > Remove Tool Processing and toggle between the 'Faster' and 'More Stable' mode. 

Also, please test and confirm if the issue exists with Photoshop (Beta). You can get Photoshop (beta) from the Creative Cloud > Apps tab > Beta Apps section. 

Thanks!

[Kapture benoit]

@Sameer K  thanks for your reply.

Are the scratch disks set up on the external drives?

the main scratch disk is internal / data(D) NVME samsung SSD 980 Pro 1TB.

the second scratch disk is external / Samsung T7 1TB

Where do you keep your source documents? Internal, or external drive?  both, when working on pics, it"s on D internal..

 to skip loading third party plugins: I did reinstall PS without any plug in and still have that strange behavior.

Remove Tool Processing and toggle between the 'Faster' and 'More Stable' mode. : I did and still have that strange behavior.

 if the issue exists with Photoshop (Beta): I did not tried that. Try to avoid installation software version that I know I wonth use and that will left many traces in the PC...

[Sameer K]

Thanks for sharing these details. Could you try Photoshop Beta for once and share how it goes. 

Also, it would help if you record a video of your workflow and how the behavior surfaces. It'll help in recreating this and further investigating this. 

Thanks!
