RE: Renewing editing software
I've been using CC since it came out, and have absolutely no issues with performance. I have 8G of RAM on a Windows 10 pro 640 bit system and the inbuilt Intel UHD graphics adapter. I might get an improvement in redraw performance with a gaming card, but to me it is not worth the expense (or the fact that I am using an HP Prodesk mini PC probably makes it impossible!) I've never liked Lightroom, so I'll avoid any further comment on that software. I manage my images through my file structure, which works for me. I would say that I normally open Bridge first, to find the images I want to work with, and this integrates well with PS. I like too the fact that you can effectively include some of the facilities from the RAW image processing module into PS, so you can apply some pretty neat adjustments even to original jpegs.

Prepare yourself to start searching for a cheap gamers GPU card which speeds up lightroom (2x 3x depends on what you do). And an SSD for the catalog and previews.

$10 is ZAR160! Quite noticeable to me. I'll stick to Elements 13 on my geriatric i3 Acer Travelmate.

Re: Renewing editing software
I upgraded to the cloud based Adobe photo suite about a year ago. I use photoshop and bridge for the most part, and they’re quite fast on my five year old iMac. But the Mac was top of the line when new so it has a 4 gigahertz i7 four-core processor and a good Radeon graphics card, I use an SSD as a scratch disc, store current files on an SSD and manage files with bridge. I’m a happy camper. Paul > On Mar 13, 2021, at 12:24 PM, Bill wrote: > > On 3/13/2021 11:16 AM, Toine wrote: >> I'm on CC for a while.

Re: Renewing editing software
I did my usual cursory research and have ordered a Seagate Firecuda 1TB drive. This thing plugs directly into the motherboard. I decided to get the PCI 3 version, since that is what my MB supports. The PCI 4 wasn't that much more, but I'm not planning on swapping out my computer any time soon, so I wouldn't be taking advantage of the extra speed, and with my luck, by the time I do swap computers, they will be up to PCI 6 or some such. bill On 3/13/2021 11:59 AM, Paul Stenquist wrote: I upgraded to the cloud based Adobe photo suite about a year ago.
