Scratch‑Disk SSD Allocation versus Smart Object Proxy for Lowering Photoshop RAM Usage
Goal: reduce peak RAM consumption when editing PSDs larger than available memory while preserving full‑resolution edit capability. Constraint: workstation RAM is limited, so users must choose between configuring a fast SSD as Photoshop’s scratch disk or converting large raster layers to Smart Objects to work with low‑resolution proxies. Uncertainty: the memo
