Memory Pressure

Large catalogs and high-resolution previews can use substantial unified memory. RawCull monitors the macOS memory-pressure level and adjusts its caches automatically.

LevelRawCull response
NormalUses adaptive cache limits based on available memory
WarningReduces preview and grid cache limits
CriticalClears memory caches and keeps a small working limit

When pressure returns to normal, RawCull recalculates its normal cache limits. Source photos and saved ratings are not affected.

The Memory settings tab shows total and used memory, RawCull’s memory use, and the current system pressure. For troubleshooting, Diagnostics -> Memory Console records detailed cache and memory samples.

If warnings continue, close other memory-heavy apps, stop the current task with Actions -> Abort task (Command-K), or work with a smaller catalog.
