I am aware and before any one jumps into tell me that AI driven Processes consume a lot of Memory I am fully aware about it. But still wanted to know if anyone here has the M2 Mac Mini with 16GB of RAM and 512 GB of SSD and the other day I was using Photo AI and applying the recommended emhancements that Auto-Pilot suggested and in the process, the Memory Pressure was all in Yellow and around 11GB of Swap Memory being used ? is this normal ? It is a recently prochased computer and before buying I did my research and almost everyone advised and suggested with my kind of usage and rare Photo Editing 16GB RAM is just the correct RAM That I need. But then I see this, around 11GB of Swap Memory being used that kind of makes me dissappont an Ace/ Trump Card which was not supposed to fail. How did it go such Lack Lustre ? 11GB of Swap Memory being used is Mammoth ! isn’t it ?
Your thoughts ?
What types of edits are you trying to implement on your images? I will note that AI processing takes a large amount of memory, especially if you are Upscaling or using the Remove Tool.
But in the range of 11GB ? That is preposterous ?
I was applying all the Enhancements Recommendations that Auto-Pilot was suggesting me and apart from that Recover Face and Sharpening.
This is so basic should it be hogging this much memory for such tasks ?
I’d like to see if a clean install will help troubleshoot the problems you are having with this memory consumption. Please follow the directions below:
- Be sure you have fully closed any plugins, such as Lightroom Classic, Photoshop, etc.
- Clear any previous plist files on your computer for Topaz Photo AI | Topaz Photo AI | plist Files Mac
- Disable any antivirus, firewall, VPN, or proxy software that might be active on your computer. These tools sometimes interfere with the installer’s ability to download the model files.
- Ensure that the Topaz Photo AI installer has all the proper settings in your system by going to your Mac System Settings > Privacy & Security tab and scrolling down to the security section. You will want to make sure you have ‘App Store and identified developers’ selected | MacOS | Example of Proper System Preferences
- Rerun the installer. You can download a new installer from your account’s download page | Topaz Labs | My Account | Download Page
Let me know how that goes for you and I’ll keep an eye out for your reply.
When go into my Finder Window>and from there >GO and then type ~Library/Preferences I do not see any Topaz Photo AI Plist there check this screen recording.
