Hey everyone,
Hope I am on the right forum. I am running a quite stable system at the moment. High Sierra 10.13.2 on the following:
Gigabyte X99-UD4
32GB Ram
500GB SSD
R9-280x
I work a lot with photoshop and when retouching important images the files tend to get big. I usually bring into Photoshop files that are around 150MB in 16-bit mode and with various layers, they easily become 2GB in size. The system handles them without a problem but when I use the brush once the files are around 2GB then strokes become laggy.
I know that converting the files into 8-bit would solve the issue but it's quite critical for me to work in 16-bit.
My question is can anyone recommend certain hardware upgrade that might tackle this issue?
Would a better GPU help? If so I was thinking maybe the RX 580 8GB?
Add more Ram, maybe 64GB in total?
M.2 drive?
Better CPU?
All of the above or a mixture?
Any advice would be greatly appreciate it, thanks in advance!
