Hi:

 

Your notebook supports 2 x 8 GB of DDR4 memory.

 

You can install another 8 GB memory chip in the empty slot and have 16 GB running in dual channel mode.

 

It may help a little with the Photoshop application, but the weak link in your notebook using Photoshop is the onboard Intel HD graphics adapter, and there isn't anything you can do about that other than to keep the graphics driver updated.

 

Chapter 1 of the service manual has the memory upgrade info.

This would be a compatible 8 GB memory chip for your notebook...
