Photoshop CS6 memory leak?
PS currently takes 1.7GB of memory AFTER I have closed all the files. I have no plugins. The only thing that helps is restarting PS. Any thoughts? thanks
Thanks for the help. I am still a little confused. I did a search on "history, undo stack, temp memory" and nothing came up. Could you just tell me logic then?
I don't understand:
The memory will be reused - and AFAIK released if the OS requests it.
This is all for speed reasons.
It is never released and it absolutely does slow down my computer. Previous versions of PS never did this.

Photoshop CS6 memory leak when idle and nothing open
Photoshop CS6 runs away with memory after being used and then going idle. If I open up PS and leave it, it will be ok but as soon as I open any file it will go up in memory usage (which is normal) but when I close all files and hide PS the memory will stay high never goes back down. When I close PS and re-open (no files open) again it idles at 300Mb memory but when I open a file then close it and then hide/idle PS it raises and stays around 1.25-1.5 GB if not more.
I have tried to Purge All, and even hide all menus to no avail. I have even tried to close Suitcase (eleminiate any font issues) and still same problem. I am running PS bone stock, no extra plug-ins.
Any ideas on why it would be doing this would be greatly appreciated!
My Computer:
Photoshop 13.0.1
MacBookPro
OS 10.6.8
CPU: 2.66 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
Mem: 4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3
HD: 300GB (30GB Free)Photoshop is not supposed to free memory when you close documents -- that's normal, because the memory gets reused.
Yes, opening a file makes the memory usage go up - because space is needed for the document and it's window.
None of what you said describes a leak, and sounds like perfectly normal behavior. -
Photoshop CS6 Memory Leaking Problem
Adobe CS6 extended is using between 3.1GB - 9.8GB of ram.
It doesn't stop when i close all the psd files, only frees up when i close the program.Open Photoshop. Photoshop (Mac) or Edit (Windows) > Preferences > Performance. Reduce the Allocated memory (RAM) for Photoshop.

Problema permisos al abrir photoshop CS6 (memoria virtual)
Hola, he instalado photoshop CS6 en un portátil con una instalación limpia de Windows 8 y justo al arrancar da un error de memorial virtual que solo he podido resolver abriendo el programa como administrador.
El error que aparece es:
No se ha podido abrir un archivo de memoria virtual virtual porque el archivo está bloqueado, no tiene los permisos de acceso necesarios u otro programa está usando el archivo...
Ya sé que el problema es de privilegios, lo he visto en alguna otra pregunta lo cual he podido comprobar porque si le doy entrar como administrador sí que entra, la pregunta es qué tengo que cambiar para no tener que entrar como administrador (los usuarios del pc tienen que poder abrirlo sin tener permisos de administrador ni conocer la contraseña).
Gracias y saludos.Primera vez que comento en este foro, tuve el mismo problema y consegui la solución en otro foro, aproposito la respuesta es del 2008 y por tanto pense que no funcionaría.
El usuario dice:
"cuantas particiones tienes?
el photoshop usa una determinada cantidad de espacio en tu disco duro C q se llama memoria virtual, al tener solo C tendras esos problemas porque tu memoria virtual sera muy poca, por eso es necesatrio que tengtas particiones para que puedas asignarlas como disco de memoria virtual..
si ya tienes particiones(C:/ , D:/ , E:/ , F:/ ,...etc)
solo tienes que asignarlas como memoria virtual en el photshop
abres el photoshop y vas a:edicion/ preferencias/ plugins y discos de memoria virtual.. y eliges como primer disco de memoria virtual a la particion mas lejana ( por ejemplo F, luego E,.. D y por ultimo eliges C...)
con eso ya es suficiente para no tener esos problemas.. "
PD: Para configurar las preferencias debes ingresar como Administrador.
Espero que sirva a muchos.

Photoshop CC Memory Leak / Exhausting RAM etc
I've recently signed up for CC and Photoshop, whilst looking beautiful - is taking up a ridiculous amount of memory. As I speak, it's just short of 5GB. This never happened with previous versions and I'm just wondering if there's a reason for this and if I can fix it?. I'm running the 64 bit version. I have 8GB of ram on my iMac.
Any help would be much appreciated.I also have problems regarding out of memory in PS CC. In my current workflow, I do choose my pictures in Adobe Lightroom where select edit in Adobe Photoshop CC. That pic has a resolution 5184X3465 pixel 21MB in size (Canon Raw). My Photoshop CC has no Third Party plugins. After that chosen pic is loaded in Photoshop CC, I can not do anything. Every operations is followed by out of memory. Even a simple brush stroke is not possible.
Wiping cache didn't have any effect. I also tried to alocate lesser ram (my rig: Win-8 64-Bit 12GB-Ram) about 4GB and has the same problem. PS CC Info shows: Dok.102,5/205,0 MB; RAM: 4,90GB/4,00GB; Effizienz:100%*
It seems, PS CC has reseverd the RAM as it should, but doesn't handle it right. Opening the picture without Adobe Lightroom worked without problem. I hope I can help with this Informations:

Memory leak in creative suite CS6
Hi
i have a user that run the creative suite cs6 software and after a few hours of using the software the machine becoming slower and slower.
she as to close some software or reboot the machine to be able to work again with adecent speed.
Thanks helping
PierreWe cannot know. You are not telling us anything about the machine, what programs, what steps. Sorry, but just calling it a memory leak doesn't make it so and without an exact scenario to reproduce, this is pretty useless. In fact this could be just as well a generic system issue with swap space filling up, graphics card buffers not flushing, clipboard data accumulating or the system continualyl covering your behind by handling driver crashes quietly, but remnants of this obstructing operations. And then of course the usual - security tools blocking stuff, network access exhausting bandwidth and what have you. Otherwise of course any program can bring even the most powerful computer to its knees, if a user uses "bad" settings liek excessive History in Photoshop, but we realyl need a lot more details before we can even begin to take even a guess...

Apparent Photoshop Memory Leak
Over the last couple months I have been having what seems to be a memory leak problem with Photoshop. I'll be working on a document nice as can be, my screen will freeze, go black, then return with my graphics drivers telling me that it has just recovered from a failiure. At this time photoshop will not respond, and I am forced to close it, and lose all the work I have done.
The crashes usually happen when I am transforming objects, however it has happened while using vector, and raster tools like the pen, and brush.
I have been having this problem ever since I switched laptops from an Acer Aspire (Pentium 6 integrated win8 4gb RAM), to an Acer V3 (AMD A10 amd radeon 7660m win8 6gb RAM). On my last laptop that was noticably worse in terms of hardware, with this new laptop I've been having worse problems.
I use CS6 on both systems.
I have up to date graphics drivers, and I have updated photoshop to the latest patch (as of 16th December).
I am also not able to limit the amount of vram photoshop is allowed to use through the preferences, and it keeps resetting itself (every time the program crashes).
Part of me wants to blame the AMD APU that's in their A10 CPU, but I am not able to pin it on that system just yet.xzenocrimzie wrote:

With an ATI card, unfortunately that's not the right approach. AMD has fallen on its face lately. Maybe they lost the guy who knows what he's doing, I don't know.
Try switching Photoshop's advanced GPU setting to Basic, and close and restart Photoshop.
If you've already done that, and it's not working, seek out Catalyst 12.8 and see if it's available for Windows 8. That's a decent (though not perfect) recent version. You'll have to uninstall the current version first in order to install the earlier one.
I have some hope for 12.12, but so far they've been completely unresponsive to my reports of problems with 12.10 and the newer betas. Apparently the Adobe engineering people can't get them to move on these problems either. Somehow it seems Windows 8 caught them off guard, even though Microsoft had released all those previews. But don't fret; 12.10 and newer don't work worth a darn in Windows 7 either.

Photoshop cs6 error "Could not complete command because there is not enough memory (RAM)"
Hi, I have a Macbook Pro and the Adobe Creative Suite 6, and all of my other adobe programs run smoothy with the exception of photoshop. For about the past year and a half now, I will very inconsistency receive the error message, "Could not complete ___ command because there is not enough memory (RAM)." Sometimes this problem gets so bad that I am not even able to open my preferences.
My computer seems as though it should have plenty of space to run photoshop, and I have taken my computer to a number of differed tech supports, but they have only been able to temporarily make the problem less severe for short periods until it acts up again and completely prevents me from using Photoshop. I recently updated to Yosemite and deinstalled/reinstalled photoshop, hoping that would fix things, but I still get the message almost any time I try to complete a command.
Your help would be very much appreciated, thank you!

3.5Mhz? Do they even make processors that slow?
I'm trying to think back through Photoshop versions, but IIRC it became hungry for RAM with CS5, but it might even have been CS4. But certainly from CS5 onwards a 32 bit system was going to be severely compromised with its 3.5Gb RAM limit, of which Photoshop could access only a bit over 2Gb. You might remember the 4Gb switch that let you use a bit more of your 4Gb of installed RAM. That worked OK with XP but was still flakey, and third party plugins used to fall over all the time through lack of RAM — at least Photoshop has a Scratch drive.
So nowadays you can forget trying to use Photoshop on 32bit hardware. You need 64 bit and at least 8Gb RAM. So like I said, the OP needs to look deeper into the 'apparent' over heating issue, and put that other 4Gb back in. I can't even conceive of why a person would cripple their system by removing RAM. _Especially_ when it leaves just 4Gb -
Not enough Ram memory and cannot save due to a program error in photoshop cs6
Hi, I'm currently a beginner at photoshop cs6, and I've been using it since december last year, mostly to draw stuff and it has worked fine with few to no errors at all.
However, recently when I've been drawing, the same message keeps popping up over and over again "Can't use (tool) due to the computer not having enough ram" followed by either "cannot save due to program error" or, it just simply crashes.
This is obviously a something that worries me A LOT since at first, I thought that it was just a small error, but recently, it's been like this for several day s and I've been forced to re-start the computer (and photoshop) countless times... It really slows down my working progress and is VERY annoying to deal with.
As a beginner though, I don't really know how to fix this. I've been trying to look up some answers on this site, but I've just not found any answer yet...
I'm currently using photoshop cs6 that's up to date and I've got lots of memory left on my computer, so, I'm wondering. What exactly is the cause of this problem, and how can I fix it? Please answer as fast as you can.. I'm getting a bit desperate...
Oh, in case you're wondering, they're all saved as PSD files and every single one of them has about 15+ layers on them.It would help if you could list a few things:
1. Your operating system
2. How much physical RAM do you actually have in your machine?
3. Under Preferences > Performance, have you allocated "Scratch Disk(s)"?
4. Also under Preferences > Performance > Memory Usage, what is the "Ideal Range" listed there, and what % is "Let Photoshop Use"? -
Photoshop cs6 "could not complete command because there is not enough memory (RAM)"
Hi, I have a Macbook Pro and the Adobe Creative Suite 6, and all of my other adobe programs run smoothy with the exception of photoshop. For about the past year and a half now, I will very inconsistency receive the error message, "Could not complete ___ command because there is not enough memory (RAM)." Sometimes this problem gets so bad that I am not even able to open my preferences.
My computer seems as though it should have plenty of space to run photoshop, and I have taken my computer to a number of differed tech supports, but they have only been able to temporarily make the problem less severe for short periods until it acts up again and completely prevents me from using Photoshop. I recently updated to Yosemite and deinstalled/reinstalled photoshop, hoping that would fix things, but I still get the message almost any time I try to complete a command.

3.5Mhz? Do they even make processors that slow?
I'm trying to think back through Photoshop versions, but IIRC it became hungry for RAM with CS5, but it might even have been CS4. But certainly from CS5 onwards a 32 bit system was going to be severely compromised with its 3.5Gb RAM limit, of which Photoshop could access only a bit over 2Gb. You might remember the 4Gb switch that let you use a bit more of your 4Gb of installed RAM. That worked OK with XP but was still flakey, and third party plugins used to fall over all the time through lack of RAM — at least Photoshop has a Scratch drive.
So nowadays you can forget trying to use Photoshop on 32bit hardware. You need 64 bit and at least 8Gb RAM. So like I said, the OP needs to look deeper into the 'apparent' over heating issue, and put that other 4Gb back in. I can't even conceive of why a person would cripple their system by removing RAM. _Especially_ when it leaves just 4Gb -
Photoshop CS6 Extended Slow Load ("Measuring Memory...")
Hi guys!
Sorry English is not my native language.
I am run Photoshop CS6 Extended 64-bit (from design premium) on Windows 7, 64-bit with 8GB RAM.
When I first start PS, it looks like it freeze on the text "Measuring Memory". If I wait for about 30 seconds, it will eventually load and everything works fine. No issues with Save for Web or anything.
I have read the other threads on this and tried all of these solutions:
Checked my ram in memtest (15 passes, no error)
Trash preferences and open again
Un-install and re-install (tried twice)
Updated PS to latest with Adobe Update
Reboot machine
This happen when I first run Windows, so lack of RAM is not the issue. I have no printers, other hard drive, or remote network drive attached to machine. Scratched disk is set to the boot disk (C:\)
If it help, Illustrator CS6 and InDesign CS6 load normally.
Do you have any suggestions to fix this? Thank you!
Richard MontouchetCongratulations on having such a huge amount of memory that it takes 30 seconds to measure it all! Just kidding - sorry.
You've done all the things a reasonable person would do... Some other things I might suggest are:
1. Check to ensure your display driver is up to date - go to the web site of the maker of your video card, not Microsoft.
2. Try disabling the Use Graphics Processor setting in Edit - Preferences - Performance, and restart Photoshop.
3. Remove any 3rd party plug-ins (reinstall won't remove plug-ins, so I thought I'd mention it).
4. Check to see if you have the same behavior with the 32 bit Photoshop as the 64 bit Photoshop.

Photoshop CS6 has out of memory errors under Mac OS X 10.7.4
Has anyone who has a 2008 MacBoo Pro with the NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT 512 MB graphics card tried running Photoshop CS6 under Mac OS X 10.7.4?
On my MacBook Pro, PS CS6 launches; however, any action results in an out of memory error. The CS6 versions of After Effects, Premiere Pro and Illustrator all launch and run as expected under 10.7.4.
If I switch to my Mac OS X 10.6.8 startup volume, Photoshop CS6 runs as expected.
I have support cases open with Adobe, NVidia and Apple. Adobe thinks I need to update the display drivers. NVidia says display drivers must be provided by Apple. Apple says that the display drivers are current. The Apple support agent said that he can escalate the case if the issue can be reproduced on more than one computer.
I'd love to keep my MacBook Pro running another year or so without having to reboot in 10.6.8 every time I need to use Photoshop. I'd stay with 10.6.8, but of course iCloud requires 10.7.4.
I have not tried 10.8 yet, but it's on my troubleshooting list.
Also, PS CS6 runs fine under Mac OS X 10.7.4 on my 2010 iMac.
Thanks in advance for any feedback.
- WarrenIt looks like it was indeed the display driver for the NVIDIA GeForce 8600 GT 512 MB graphics card inside my 2008 MacBook Pro.
It seems that this driver only gets installed if you upgrade from Mac OS X 10.6.7 to 10.7.4 while the startup drive is connected to the MacBook Pro itself. I had updated while the startup drive was connected to my 2010 iMac. Accordingly, I could have reinstalled Photoshop 100 times without it ever launching as expected. Having used the external startup drive with three other Apple computers (all 2010 or newer machines) with Photoshop CS6 launching as expected, I had just assumed (mistakenly) that it would work as expected with my 2008 computer.
So, this was simple enough to resolve by upgrading the OS on the external startup drive while having it connected to the MacBook Pro. In hindsight, this makes perfect sense.

Al ejecutar adobe photoshop cs6 extended me aparece un mensaje de no se ha podido abrir un archivo de memoria virtual por que el archivo esta bloqueado y no se ejecuta la aplicacion
Are you able to get to the Performance preferences? If so, check to make sure your Scratch Disk settings are valid for your current system configuration.
It's possible you may need to reset your Photoshop preferences to defaults to restore operation. This is how:
Press and hold Control - Shift - Alt simultaneously (or Command - Shift - Option if on a Mac) immediately upon cold-starting Photoshop. If you get the keys down quickly enough - and you have to be really quick - it will prompt you to confirm deletion of your current preferences, which will lead to the establishment of a fresh default set. If it does not prompt you, you haven't been quick enough to get the keys down.

Photoshop CS6 will not function stateing there is not enough memory.
Hello everyone,
I purchased the creative cloud two monts ago and have not been able to use Photoshop CS6 at all. Each time I open the program it states there is not enough memory to even run brushes or save a file. I have been running my Premium Production CS5 Photoshop without this problem. I am running an AMD black edition Phenom 11 x6 1090T, 4 one terabyte hard drives in a raid, 4 gb or installed memory and useing a 1 gb AMD Radeon HD 6800 series graphics card with the most uptodate driver. So far this problem has not been an issue with the other apps.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
MacMac,
What exact OS, and its version, are you running? That might answer a lot of questions early, so folk here can focus on helping you.
Good luck,

Photoshop CS6 temp memory problems
Hi,
My name is George,
I'm working as a web-designer. I heard about new features in Photoshop cs6, like paragraph/character styles (something very good for web-designers).
And tried those new features, works perfectly, but i found a big problem.
When we are working in Photoshop, it instantly creates a PhotoshopTemp file in C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Local\Temp, and when I tried to create new paragraphs styles or character styles the memory of that temp files is increasing until your partition memory is not filed at all, for example at that moment in my C:\ partition I had about 3GB free memory, initially the PhotoshopTemp file had about 200MB, but when I tried to create a new paragraph style, temp file size increased up to 3.2GB, consuming all my C:\ drive free memory
If you have any ideas, please help me...Pisarenco wrote:

Not even remotely!
Figure on needing 35 to 70 times as much Photoshop scratch disk space—or more—as the size of your largest open file. Multiply that by the number of files you keep open, and add a bunch of GBs for the swap files of the OS.
Additionally, a good rule of thumb is not to let any drive get more than 75%–80% full.
The poster above who replied to your post is not just any Adobe employee, but a top Adobe engineer who has been writing Photoshop code for 16 years or longer. You'll be wise not to dismiss his advice.
Whatever your machine is, it's not adequate for a working web designer.
