Ive been thinking of getting a ram upgrade from my current 8GB to 16GB just because of photoshop
What I'm making right now already uses up 5Gb of RAM memory, is there a way of reducing this without making photoshop lag? I'm worried that when I forget to save in a while photoshop will use up too much memory and my computer will freeze while trying to save
(That happend before when mcaffee starting randomly doing a virusscan)
I included a picture of what I have so far on the left and on the right what is supposed to be added (sketch overlay)

Photoshop usually manages memory very well. I do a lot of massive work. If that drawing is 5000 x 3000 you shouldn't be having problems. Photoshop doesn't work with compressed images in memory, if you opened a blank page 5000x3000 the white pixels take the same space as colors, about 50 megs. Only when you save and it compresses the image does the pixel color come into play.
Undo history takes a big bite, you could turn down how many it keeps. (Under Edit/Preferences/performance probably)

its 7000x5000pixels big A2 paper size, And i cranked up the undo history because I tend to work on the wrong layer so I can still undo what I did wrong
