PS CC 2017 Running out of memory
Hey folks,
I'm having a serious issue with Photoshop (and Lightroom) CC where when I'm asking it to work a bit harder on larger files , typically around 300Mb - 1Gb my Adobe system runs out of memory and crashes. I'm working with mostely landscape photographs so not doing massive graphics manipulations.
There is no real pattern to the crash I could be working with layers, Photo merge, HDR and boom I get the error - "Your Computer is Low on Memory" & told to close programs, it then just crashes my machine.
The OS Is Windows 10 x64, both Photoshop & Lightroom are 64 bit, I have NIK software installed (set up for x64)
I have 24gig of memory, an i7 950 CPU and a 2 gig Asus Radeon R9 200 graphics card so the system should be plenty grunty enough. I have a separate scratch disk set up with 500GB free on it on a HDD which is a 7200rpm with 64mb of cache on it.
I have set photoshop to use 55%, 60% & 80% of my available memory but still the issue - seems the more you give it the more it wants!
I have disabled the use GPU - (found my lightroom was craching because of this) no change, enabled the GPU - no change.
At the moment photoshop is pratically uselss to me unless I find a solution to this memory issue so keen for thoughts, questions & suggestions!
