On my rig right now, RAM usage for RAW images from D500:
Photoshop open, no files loaded: 156MB
Open a single RAW in in CameraRAW: 525MB
Open that image in PS: 400MB
10 RAW images open in PS plus one in CameraRAW: 1,780MB
10 RAW images open in PS, no CameraRAW: 1,426MB
On those 10 images, creating a new duplicate layer of the image: ~25MB added
Adjust layers: varies wildly as you'd expect, anywhere from 2MB-20MB
Opened LR to my last import, about 60 photos. Scrolled through everyone in the timeline, a handful had edits, the rest not. Couldn't get LR to utilize over 1,750MB of RAM.
Just a quick run through of some stuff, so not scientific. But with PS and LR where they are, plus Chrome with a couple of tabs, Outlook, file explorer, discord, Blizzard app, Steam, Spyder calibrator software, Sound Blaster software, anti-virus, OneDrive, Logitech software, on Windows 10....I'm sitting at 59% usage of my 16GB of RAM.
If you're utilizing your entire 16GB of RAM, then you're doing something well above and beyond the normal. Or, you need to learn how to close stuff you're done with. I even opened one of my LR smart collections that had 8500 RAW photos in it and LR didn't even sneeze at it, stayed below 2,000MB of RAM usage no matter how many images I scrolled through (which was maybe a couple hundred before I quit).
Sorry, but if OP needed 32GB, he'd already know it, he wouldn't need to ask.
