I do a lot ofhow much RAM does ps cs5/6 ext use with CAF?
how much RAM does photoshop cs5 extended use with Content-Aware-Fill?
please state the size of the image, how many layers you have (makes a difference).
please do this for 2 different size images.
I could also use some cs6 numbers as well, since this is the current ps.
should be as simple a psd as possible.
I need to know for a 32-bit and a 64-bit machine.
I would like to use these two numbers for making a calculator that does some very basic calculations as to how much memory would be required to run photoshop given:
- image size
- content-aware fill
- radial blur
- number of layers
- content-aware move (in CS6)
this means several types of test plans:
32-bit ps ext CS5:
- different image sizes SMALL and LARGE (these sizes will be used throughout the tests below, save them as PSD's)
- SMALL and LARGE with 2 layers
- SMALL and LARGE with content-aware fill, like taking out a telephone pole. hit F1 if you don't know how.
- SMALL and LARGE with radial blur (this takes a while to run). hit F1 if you don't know how or refer to this: http://ksimonian.com/Blog/2010/02/24/improved-photoshop-benchmark-cpu-speed-test-for-both- mac-pc-free-radial-blur-filter-test/
- SMALL and LARGE with content-aware fill and then radial blur (this takes a while to run). this step is purely optional.
64-bit ps ext CS5:
- different image sizes SMALL and LARGE (these sizes will be used throughout the tests below, save them as PSD's)
- SMALL and LARGE with 2 layers
- SMALL and LARGE with content-aware fill, like taking out a telephone pole. hit F1 if you don't know how.

if you know of a more memory-intensive operation, such as radial blur (maybe that's only cpu-intensive), I would be interested in knowing about this.

the number of layers seem to multiply the RAM required in CS5. I think. the amount of RAM required to do photoshop seems to be a much-talked about subject and the subject of much variableness, and I wanted to nail it down a little.
I thought I would make a calculator that can estimate the amount of RAM required for a system to do, say, multilayer gigapixel content-aware-fill stuff in ps, something I know I would do a lot of. I also hear RAM requirements has changed in CS6. it would be interesting to characterize it.
I am making it here: http://Jesusnjim.com/calculators/photoshop-ram-usage.html
and as soon as I can get some completed set of numbers infor CS5 or , it will be ready
you can tell how much memory us in use by doing [windows-logo-flag-key]taskmgr[Enter] or doing ctrl-alt-del and bringing up the task manager,
clicking on the prcesses tab,and looking for Photoshop.exe
if you don't see mem usage, do View,Select columns.
it's a lot of testing, I know, it should not take too long to finish. but I think it might help a lot of folks when they are trying to figure out how to spec their PS box.

something automatically hit the send button before I could finish.
