Sounds a lot like Lightroom. Last time I used it (on Windows) it was a couple of years ago and while it was incredibly convenient for editing photos quickly, it was massively unoptimized. Drop a couple of pins and Lightroom starts hogging cycles and memory. I wouldn't even joke about running it with 8GB RAM let alone 4.

All that aside, it's borderline criminal any new computer is being sold with 8GB RAM. This is 2023 for crying out loud. Do you want a 56K modem to go along with your miniscule amount of memory?
