My friend's daughter has bought a M1 13" MacBook Pro for her college use at NIFT. She wants student edition of Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator. According to this (https://helpx.adobe.com/in/download-install/kb/apple-silicon-m1-chip.html) - she needs to install Rosetta 2. But according to this -...

Hi around, I need to buy a new iMac soonish and after reading lots of negative experiences I'd appreciate to listen some other user's experiences. My planned setup for now is: - iMac 2020 27" 5k - i7 8core 3,8GHz or alternatively i9 10core 3,6 Ghz - 64 GB RAM (if highly recommended, I could go...

Hi, A few months back I dropped my Adobe CC subscription and planned on (somehow) using my legacy CS4 apps instead. I tried unsuccessfully—and with many hours on the phone with Adobe Support—to try to clean my main computer, MacBook Pro (15-inch, Mid 2010, Yosemite 10.10.5), of all Adobe CC...

I’m wondering what benefits an eGPU might have for Lightroom and Photoshop use on my new 2020 Mac Mini i7. I have read that it can benefit some areas while others may not be supported. However, most articles date back over a year and I wonder if there have been improvements with the latest OS...

Does anyone have experience of Graphic Design using a Surface Studio? Specifically Adobe CC (InDesign / Photoshop / Illustrator). I was looking to buy a 2nd hand iMac and this has popped up as an option. With a quad core i7, 32GB RAM and a 2TB hard drive alongside its touch screen and pen...

Hi everybody. It's been a week since my new top of the line MBP 13" 2020 10th gen i7 with 32 gigs of ram and 4TB Hd arrived. My experience has been mixed. In the first couple of days I had always the fans on while migrating (I have a lot of data both on HD and dropbox, plus a lot of photos in...

Hi there, I wondered if anyone had any advice on which iMac would suit my needs best? My current 27-inch, Mid 2010 is really showing it's age now and could really do with being replaced. Essentially I need something that will cope with large Photoshop files all day long and occasionally...

I am thinking of getting my first iPad to accompany my Mac. I do some fairly heavy photoshop work and would like to explore the possibilities of using an iPad occasionally either as a tablet with sidecar or stand-alone for retouching, dodge and burn etc. As this is a bit of an experiment I am...

Hi, TLDR; How can I create a LUT for Photoshop of just 22 colors? Or something similar in Affinity Photo? I'm creating a portret, using 20 x 28 = 560 plastic bottle caps for 'pixels'. Because I knew that subtle colours would be hard to find, I made a photo with bright blue, red and green...

I just got my first macbook. Its a MBP 16" 5500M 8GB 32GB RAM 1TB SSD. I bought a stronger machine cause I work with photo/video editting and I wanted a portable beast to work remotely. Coming from windows, I was expecting a good performance considering the specs I bought. To my surprise, when...

Hey all, I've got a top end 2012 15"MBP that I'm looking to replace with a newer model a little later this year. I might wait for this rumored 16" model, but since that is still a rumor and not out yet I wanted some secondary advice. Ive watched plenty of YouTube videos warning against...

Hello! I'm looking for some buying advice from you lovely people. A bit about me and my use: I'm a music producer (Ableton) and amateur photographer (UK based) and use my laptop as my personal and occasional work computer (I am a researcher and writer so use a lot of pdfs, browser tabs). I also...

Hi all I have a mid 2011 iMac, 8gb Ram, i5 second gen and 512mb on board graphics. I run it with an external ssd via thunderbolt and am happy with its performance Except when I use photoshop and the system freezes randomly. It freezes other times too and I’ve tried to do a fresh reinstall...

Regarding a classic Mac Pro 5.1 for media work: If you had 1. a faster SSD (NVMe) that connects via PCIe slot and 2. a slower SSD in one of the four harddisc drive bays and 3. an even slower HDD in one of the four harddisc drive bays, which of those 3 would you use for A. Operating...

Thanks so much for all interesting posts here about the new mac mini and eGPUs, esp. to F-Train. But still I can’t decide if I should buy a new mac mini (with an eGPU) or wait for the next mac pro. I’m still working on a Mac Pro from 2006 - Dual Core Intel Xeon 3Ghz, 18 RAM with a Radeon HD...

So everyone knows that the i5 in the Mac mini is strong enough for almost everything. We can put that behind us. Except for 3D rendering related tasks, one will need an eGPU. I'd say that now but I'm not sure. [1] Sooo......What do you call as 3D rendering? My workflow includes Photoshop...

Im trying to make an alteration to the image size of a photo in PshopCC butim not allowed to select pixels. What am i doing wrong?

Hi people, I am curious to know if anyone here uses the new MBP Pro 15' for Graphic Design and especially for 3D Graphics. I am waiting for this year to end and replace my 2010 15 ' MBP, which is been my loyal comrade for 8 years and still working hard. Though, I had to drop aside zBrush and...

I am looking to upgrade my 2011 21.5" iMac and have more or less decided on a Mini. The question is, which one? I'm a print designer, running InDesign primarily, with Photoshop and Illustrator as needed. I do little/no video work. Here are the two options I'm looking at: For $1499 3.0GHz...

Hi folks, I currently own a 20" early 2009 iMac with 2.66 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo and 8 GB RAM and 320 GB SATA, running OS 10.9.5. After heavy use (I work from home) it's been having issues over the past year (occasionally needs fresh power cycle to boot up, grey screen occasionally on start up...
