How much RAM do you need for Photo and Video Editing

Today I find out how much RAM you need, what is RAM, and how much RAM is needed for content creation. Adobe apps like Lightroom and Photoshop, as well as Final Cut pro and other creative apps need a lot of RAM, so I ran some tests to see how much RAM you need.

After I purchased the 2020 iMac, I wasn’t sure how much RAM I needed to effectively create content in photoshop, Lightroom and final cut pro. I ran tests on 8gb, 32gb and 64gb setups, and the results surprised me. Creative apps are all RAM hungry and if you don’t want your mac to slow down while you are working in even just one app, let alone a couple at the same time, the more RAM the better.
