SWAP files can be added and removed on the fly (no reboot required), however a SWAP partition, not so simple. On my daily driver machine, I also create a lot of digital artwork. I recently found myself rendering a finished artfile that was 9.5GB (24000px by 13700px) in Gimp, and half way through I started running out of RAM and SWAP. So I quickly created the needed SWAP file, and Gimp was able to finish the render without crashing.
