Question for the Photographers re: 16 in MBP

[victry1]

I picked up a 16" MBP with 32 GB of RAM. I don't have too much on it yet, nor have I done tons of stuff with PS. I did notice that when I exported 23 pictures from LR the memory pressure went to yellow. This causes me to think maybe I should get the 64GB. My desktop, which is an intel iMac has 64GB and works really well. I normally have a lot more going on than I do at the moment.

Anyway, throwing it out to the community before I make a decision.

Which camera files did you test?

I would be more concerned with memory pressure during your most common tasks, which probably isn't exporting. That being said, try to replicate your normal flow with open apps and files you are editing, but as Super alluded to, if you have one of the 40-80MP cameras you probably would benefit from 64GB.

PS, Yoyu have 15 days to decide so try to do your normal stuff on it to see how things are.

From the Canon 7d II

I did notice this morning when downloading the update to Monterey, it went way yellow......but still putting it through its paces as much as I can before making a final decision.

I think bursts of yellow pressure aren't that big of a deal, but when its regularly yellow during your workflow then you would benefit from more RAM.
