Thanks Bart. I think I know what you are driving at.I don't know: my Mac says so ...
My M1 Mac mini certainly agrees with your Mac.
My mini is hopelessly overworked, underpowered, under-memoried, and under-storaged.
Considering what I use it for.
Generating those GIF animations is quite resource intensive, requiring lots of storage, memory, and processing power.
Photoshop complains a lot of not getting enough memory. The 16 GB of my mini seem quite limiting.
Photoshop also uses a lot of scratch space, in fact once more than a TeraByte, so that the Finder ran out of memory.
On my mini Photoshop also refuses to align more than 300 images. Sigh.
Aligning lots of high resolution images can take a pretty long time.
Perfect for taking a nice nap.
Short sequences of 30 or 40 images seem ideal for generating GIFs.
Often I am forced to cut back on linear resolution of the images to ½, ¼, or even ⅛ of the source images so that I can keep the FIF file size to less than 100 MB.
Basically what I am putting out there is at the outer limit of what the current Internet can realistically support.
Sorry about that.
I am still debating whether to upgrade now to a loaded M1 ULTRA Mac Studio or better to wait for the next generation of Apple Silicon ships that are ARM based and very energy efficient.
Here is another image I took in the Jemez Mountains.
Sony ILCE-9 + FE 35mm F1.4 GM @ f/8, 1/250 s, ISO 100.
A GIF shows the long dry grass blowing in the wind.
