Hi all,
I have a Dell laptop with i7 8550U processor and 8GB of RAM connected with external 2K monitor.
When I edit photos in Lightroom and Photoshop (running them at the same time) available RAM sometimes goes to only 350 MB, but it usually stays between 1.5 and 2.5 GB. I've noticed that Lightroom workflow slows down a lot, especially when using brushes. After using brushes on a few photos, the screen goes black even there's (sometimes) around 1GB of RAM available.
I'm thinking of buying 16 GB of RAM, but I don't know if I'm going to see a noticeable difference since Lightroom seems to be slow even when there's 1.5-2.5 GB of RAM available.
Thanks in advance for answers.
