Here are some additional tips for choosing the right system for Photoshop:

  • If you’re just starting out with Photoshop, you can get away with a less powerful system. However, if you plan on doing more demanding tasks, such as working with large files or using multiple layers, you’ll need a more powerful computer.
  • It’s important to make sure that your video card is compatible with Photoshop. You can check the Adobe website for a list of compatible video cards.
  • If you’re not sure what kind of system you need, you can always contact Adobe support for help.
