Re: [Digital BW] Re: I am thinking of getting rid of Lightroom

2012-01-26 by Paul Grant

I have 16gb installed.   I have a huge lib ray of 90k photos or so.  With Photoshop CS5 and Lightroom open it really uses above 8gb.  Certainly if I am working on a huge file it goes up a bit.     I couldn't see running anything less than 8gb these days.
