When I open Photoshop without any other apps, it stops working because it ran out of memory. I have an 8GB Kingston Fury Red system.

Hi there! It's actually quite normal to need a lot of memory for Photoshop. Upgrading to 16 or even 32GB RAM is often essential for smooth performance.

I didn't realize it until I saw my HP laptop has 16 gigabytes of RAM, which should help me work on Photoshop quickly on my desktop PC now.

It's common for friends who enjoy design to need more memory.

It mainly comes down to the size of the file you're handling. Source: Long time PS user. Notice, smaller files use less memory.

To run Photoshop smoothly, reduce the amount of RAM it uses. Adjust this setting in the preferences under performance.

You can find preferences by searching for them or checking the settings section. If you haven’t used Photoshop recently, it might be easier to locate them quickly.
