A New Window Will Pop up, and You’ll Want to Click on Performance
In the “Performance” section, you’ll see a few different options that you can change. The first is the “Image Cache,” which determines how much memory Photoshop uses to store undo information. You can increase this if you have a lot of RAM, or decrease it if you’re running low on memory.
The next option is the “History States.” This determines how many history states are saved. History states are essentially a list of all the changes you’ve made to an image, so you can always go back and undo changes if you need to. Increasing the number of history states will use more memory, but it can be helpful if you’re working on a complex project.
