Best specs to run Photoshop CS6 on a MacBook Pro.

Hi,
I am considering a MBP for all my photoshop work. Currently using Photoshop CS6
From 2007-2010 I had my old MBP (late 2006 model). Then in 2011 I was using the 2011 iMac, 2.5ghz, 4gb ram. I sold the iMac as I felt more comfortble with the laptop in terms of working anywhere and anytime. Also for some reason I just strangly enough found the iMac a bit sluggish compared to the smooth performance I had with my old MBP. I mean the iMac is fast, way faster than my old MBP, but sometimes the mouse is just stuck there and i feel annoyed that I cant get moving on as i am waiting for 'something' thats really not there... However I do think that it may have been due to the wireless bluetooth mouse that I was using... but not sure.
I run psd files that have a large number of layers and can reach a size of 3-4gb per file while processing and when saved and closed upto 2gb. I rarely use filters, but when i do, its mainly the blur filters and then sometimes the others.
15"
I am considering the 15" MBP base model but bump up the RAM to 8gb... I wish it were more than 8 though...
and getting a SSD drive of 128gb... too expensive other wise and this is enough for my work files as I have 2 additional backups on external HDs.
and VRam of 512gb
with an anti glare display... as the glossy is just plain killing me (experienced on my old iMac).
13"
I like the size & portability of the 13", but the lack of a dedicated VRAM is putting me off. I could always get an external display later if the need be, however what about VRAM... its shared right? How will that affect CS6 performance?
So any suggestions regarding my choice of specs. I would like to really bump up the RAM but the only option i have is 8gb. Also I hope to use this system for another 3-4 years alteast if it does not have any other issues.

Is the 128g drive just a scratch drive?  I may be marginal if you use big files and lots of layers.  Best to have seperate internal physical drives for scratch and program files.
VRAM of 512g is considered min. now.  Can you get 1 gig?
Personally 15" is the smallest I would go.  Am old and a 24" is better viewing for me.

  • Need help installing Photoshop CS6 trial on MacBook Pro

    I keep trying to install the trial version of Photoshop CS6 on my macbook pro (version 10.6.8) and I was able to download it fine from the download assistant. Once I tried installing it, however I kept coming up with the same error. First it says that the images couldn't be opened because of an invalid checksum, then if I opt to skip that step it comes up with a window letting me install it which I do but once it hits 44% it jumps to 99% and says installation failed due to an inauthentic certificate, saying "Adobe Genuine Software Verification Failure."
    How do I fix this???

    Sounds like your download got corrupted.  You can try downloading it again.

  • Photoshop cs6 lags on macbook pro retina 15'

    Recently I got my hands on photoshop cs6 but my brush lags quite a bit while using it. This happens when I'm zooming in to do minor details or if I'm using a brush more than 200
    I've heard good things about design production on macbooks but so far I've seen the opposite. Is there anyway to solve the brush lag problem from Apple's end?

    I am using a student version which is running atm on a windows 7 64 bit macbook pro retina 15. The best thing i can try doing is downgrade to CS5. Though i'm positively sure if I installed photoshop less than a few weeks ago, it would be at the latest...

  • Installing Photoshop CS6 on a Macbook Pro

    I just purchased Photoshop CS6 Extended student and teacher edition and tried to install it on my Macbook Pro.  I don't see the option install.app only setup.exe.  On the outside of my box it only has Windows on it but they told me at Best Buy this would also work on my mac.  Is there a version specifically for Mac? 

    yes.
    someone was shockingly ignorant, dishonest, didn't understand you needed a program for a mac or, just blundered and didn't really check the box that showed it was for windows.
    in any case, you should return the software for a mac version.  (or, better yet, get a refund and download the correct version from adobe:  http://store1.adobe.com/cfusion/store/html/index.cfm?event=displayStoreSelector&keyword=ph otoshop_extended)

  • Photoshop cs6 and new MacBook Pro

    I want to upgrade to a new MacBook Pro  I will use it for photography hobby to process 36 meg files from Nikon D800E, I will be running Lightroom 5 , Photoshop CS6 along width other related plug ins, I am NOT a gamer do I need the discrete graphics card or is the integrated card sufficient?
    Thank you for any input you can provide.

    I found this somewhat-dated information at the Adobe site: http://www.adobe.com/content/dam/Adobe/en/products/creativesuite/production/cs6/ pdfs/adobe-hardware-performance-whitepaper.pdf
    It seems to indicate that it might be wise to have a video card if you do things like video editing.

  • Photoshop CS6 Hangs on Macbook Pro When Saving File

    I am running Snow Leopard with 8G ram on a 2009 Macbook Pro and CS6. Everytime I go to save or do a save as I just get the spinning beach ball and have to force quit PS. I do get the message PS not responding. I have reset the prefrences, have uninsalled and reinstalled CS6 but the same thing happens. I had no problems with CS5. I am running PS 13.0.4x64 bit.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Ok, I repaired permissions, changed the prefrences for graphics processor from basic
    to normal and allocated 70% ram to PS. So far so good. Thank you for your responses.
    I hope it holds.

  • Photoshop CS6 footage stuttering Macbook Pro 2011

    Im trying to edit clips on Photoshop CS6 but they keep stuttering.
    Im using Macbook Pro late 2011 with 16GB Ram, i7.
    The clips play fine in lightroom, adobe premier pro and Quicktime.
    I've been searching the web for an answer but cannot seem to be able to find anything of use.
    Im editing .mov clips from Nikon D600. Im using an external Western Digital Drive by USB.
    The file size of the clip is 76MB, the files are store on a WD external drive, but I had the same problem when I tried to play them on a thunderbolt drive.
    I have given Photoshop CS6 12GB of Ram to use.
    At the moment I am just trying to play the clips in Photoshop CS6, I am not trying to render or export them.
    Something I have noticed - in the timline box in red writing is the play level is failing to reach 24fps, its jumping all over the place 11-19fps but not getting to 24fps.
    How can I make it play at 24fps as I thought as doubling the Ram would help.
    Any tips to solve this problem would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks

    Is it the graphics card being too slow :

  • Reinstalling Photoshop CS6 on a macbook pro

    It's taking forever for the installers to download
    Adobe Creative Suite 6 Design Standard Student and Teacher Edition
    I need to download Photoshop and Illustrator.
    Any suggestions to download older programs faster?
    Thanks

    If you have a suite license, you can't use it on standalone products. You have to download the entire design standard.
    You might as well start the download and do something else for a few hours or leave it run overnight.
    You can also borrow or rent a computer with a faster connection and put the suite on a flash or external drive to install on your home or work PC or Mac.

  • I can't install Photoshop CS6 because my Macbook Pro is too old. Can I get an earlier Photoshop version?

    Do they still sell Photoshop CS5?

    you can't get a lower version via adobe.
    and you can check if your mac is upgradable here, Apple - Upgrade your Mac to OS X Mavericks.

  • Is anyone running Photoshop CS6 on a Windows Vista 32 bit machine  without problems

    Is anyone running Photoshop CS6 on a Windows Vista 32 bit machine  without problems? I have over 400 GB,s  free disc space (c drive) and still am getting lots of errors and program closing problems.  I do not have USB3 on my machine so if I purchased a few 256  GB ssd drives would this help it from crashing?
    Thank you in advance for any guidance.

    Jack, as Curt has suggested, available drive space comes well down the list regards a happy experience with Photoshop.   You have also asked a self-defeating question, because the fact you are running Vista, and a 32bit version at that, more or less precludes the ability to run without problems.
    Windows 7 was billed as the first MS OS to need less system resources than its predecessor.  If your system hardware will support 64bit, then consider paying $90 for an OS upgrade  What is your system out of interest?  I have a feeling you are running with just 2Gb RAM, which just isn’t enough.  Post your specs or make and model, and I am sure you’ll get some help with what your mainboard will handle by way of RAM and whether it will support 64bit.

    That's a nice system Kevin, and it will work very nicely with Photoshop.  I do take it that you have 16Gb RAM in Total?
    250Gb SSD is a good size, but you can still run short, and that will affect Windows performance.  When you get your system, instal WinDirStat which gives you a graphic display of everything on your drive, like below. Clicking on any of the large areas will tell you what and where they are, so you can think about moving cache folders etc. to one of the HDDs.
    Leave the Pagefile.sys on the boot drive.  Think about disabling Hyphenate as it takes a ton of space, and too often crashes on wake up.
    My Documents
    Desktop
    Downloads
    Look at Bridge cache
    iTunes backup
    Other stuff like that.
    Think about another 500Gb drive just for Photoshop Scratch.  Drives are cheap as chips nowadays
    Do yourself a favour, and invest $100 in Shadow Protect (or similar if there is such a thing) SP saves incremental backups every 15 minutes (you can set the interval, but it has no impact on performance with a system like yours).  If you have a problem you can mount the back up at any of those 15 minute points, and open files from it.  You can also make a bootable DVD image of your C drive, and be back up and running five minutes after disaster strikes.
