I am working with some Large PSD's on a computer that only has 8gb of memory. When I open 2 or more PSD files, this can completely fill up.

However, when I close a PSD, the same amount of RAM is still being taken up. I have to completely close Photoshop to get it to clear out of RAM, then only open what I need, and this slows me down.

Is there a way to purge memory somehow after a file is closed?

Edit > Purge > All

See if that works.

This doesn't have any effect. I can open a PSD, close it while leaving photoshop open, and its still taking up 2 gb of RAM. In fact, in the Edit menu, Purge All is greyed out.
