If the smallest appear first, just click again to get the largest at the top. Then, to see which using the most, click on the Memory column title and it will sort the list, so the largest (or smallest) consumers of RAM appear first. To make the list easier to understand, it's best to change a setting using the menu bar at the top.Īctivity Monitor>View>Tick - All processes Hierarchically You'll see quite a long list of apps/processes that are using memory, many of which you won't recognise.
When you open the Activity monitor, click the Memory button at the top.
The Activity Monitor app wil be your best way to find out what's going on. OIC, so it is strange that you are getting low RAM warning. I don't have Chrome on my iMac, so check to see what's that's using. I've got Bridge, Lightroom Classic, and Photoshop open, not editing anything, and the three of them are using a little over 4 GB memory.

If your install isn't picking up your graphics card, you can have problems, but I only had that with my Windows laptop (upgrade to system seems to have corrupted the graphics card driver and program but that was fixed with a reinstall of the graphics card software). I frequently have LRC and Photoshop open without problems on my late 2015 27 inch 5K iMac with 24 GB memory. New installs do some background work, so you might just want to set it to sleep for a week or so after updating to the latest Big Sur. Then I keyword in Bridge, save a jpeg to an upload folder.
Mark, if you assign 70% to Photoshop, does that cause LR to slow? My workflow (usually) is edit in LR, open into PS for a few other adjustments, then saving a tiff alongside the RAW. I just noticed saving a tiff wasn’t instantaneous. On my old Machine, I often has PS, Bridge, LR and the Internet open to do research. I seldom allow it to sleep even when I think I might work again later. When I finish editing, like I said, I always shut off all programs, then I turn my computer off. I could tell PS saved slower with only 8GB, but I don’t think I got the low RAM warning then. I did some editing while waiting for the RAM to be exchanged by B&H. With one larger photo open, I'm using 1.38 GB of memory. My Photoshop uses up to 70% of the memory (24 GB on this machine graphics card with 2 GB). Your install would have discovered the graphics card and set things up, but the other thing to check is advanced and pick Normal if it's not already set. I think it basically draws from Activity Monitor but it's handy to be able to look up at the top bar and see what the statuses of various things areĪlso, check your configs for Photoshop and and Lightroom Classic and make sure they can use your graphics card memory if you had a low memory graphics card earlier and haven't reset your preferences.

Also there is a new update to Photoshop, Lightroom Classic and whatever else. Also, I've updated to the latest Big Sur and it seems more stable than earlier versions (way less fussy about being shut donw). I use iStat Menus which puts all the information for monitoring the system on the top bar (same bar at the top of the screen as the date and time).
