Explanation

Photo editing applications are memory-intensive by nature. They load large image files, maintain multiple layers, apply real-time filters, and buffer undo history - all of which consume significant RAM. System requirements for such applications almost always list a minimum and recommended RAM amount (e.g., 8 GB minimum, 16 GB recommended). While HDD speed, CPU compatibility, and network bandwidth can all matter in various contexts, RAM quantity is the most universally and prominently listed requirement because insufficient memory directly causes crashes, slowdowns, or the inability to install/run the software at all. Network bandwidth is largely irrelevant for a locally installed editor, HDD speed is rarely listed as a hard requirement, and CPU compatibility is typically only a concern for architecture changes (e.g., x86 vs. ARM).
