You'll be fine, Apple is sticking proficient resources into these computers. Now don't expect to batch process 200 30mb photos all at once! For normal mail service processing, you should be fine.

Nope just simple processing for me. I'm wondering if Apple is going to announce a new Macbook Air next month?

Yous'll be fine. I'm on an older white plastic Apple tree running PShop CS6

I've got: Mac OS X, Processor: ii.two GHz Core ii Duo, Retentiveness 2GB 667 MHz Ram,
I work with nigh 60 GB left on the hard bulldoze.

I process about 50 images at a time on PS RAW. No problem.
Just I need to go along it in a higher place 40GB left on the hard bulldoze, otherwise it starts slowing downwards.

And then you see, you'll be able to practice lots amend.

PS. After a large 24-hour interval of processing, I restart the Apple. The RAM uses a lot of the harddrive space which cleans when restarting.

2GB is not a lot of retentiveness, especially for PS. When I pop a 16MB image into PS (from LR) and add a couple of layers, the resulting file tin exist close to 300 MB in size. When that is being managed in memory by PS information technology takes much more than that.

Using ACR isn't quite the same as using PS proper. So a lot depends upon what one is trying to do. If one wishes to use nigh of the features of PS (layers, etc) one should have plenty of memory, and perhaps and SSD drive for back up of the application. Or a lot of patience.

LOL Photoshop isn't that resource hungry. Sometimes you lot guys scissure me up.

Effort animating or video editing and you'll wonder why you ever complained about photoshop "running dull".

I exercise video editing using Vegas (probably not to the level yous do, but editing none the less). Information technology rocks. PS is a domestic dog insufficiently speaking. I'm convinced the Adobe engineers have no clue how to practice retention management.
