Can a supped up imac handle basic lightroom and photoshop usage?

I need to upgrade to a imac or a new mac pro.  The mac pro doesn't come with anything but the computer.  the imac comes with everything, keyboard, monitor, etc.  But can it run lightroom and photoshop as fast as I need without over heating and slowing down?

If you need speed, the i7 CPUs are the fastest. If you can't afford a high capacity SSD, consider the largest capacity Fusion drive.  If you are working a lots of images then, I would advise getting your iMac with only the base 8 GBs of RAM, then when you get this iMac, purchase cheaper third party Mac compatible RAM.
I would install, at least another 8 GBs of for a total of 16 GBsof RAM, but if you can afford. it, load up on more than 16 GBs of RAM.
Correct and reliable Mac RAM can be purchased from online Mac RAM sources Crucial memory or OWC (macsales.com).

    Hi I have the old photo shop elements 10 on my computer and want to update and was wondering what the differences between photoshop, lightroom and photoshop elements are?
    Also when I upgrade does it have to be with a monthly membership or can I just purchase the product out right like you use to be able?

    You cannot "update" from what you have to any of the applications you mention. It will have to be a straight purchase or subscription at full price.
    Photoshop is a professional level application that makes no apologies for its very long and steep learning curve.
    Lightroom is all about volume, and very light editing.

  • I can not open my photo, opened in lightroom, in photoshop CS4. Plug-in camera raw is missing

    I can not open my photo, opened in lightroom, in photoshop CS4. a plug-in camera raw  xx is missing. Advice to update does not work. There is no plug-in in the map photoshop plug-ins.

    This is expected. CS4 will never be able to open files from a current version of LR and a modern camera.

  • My account lost information about my order and subscription. As a result I can't use Lightroom and Photoshop as they are in the state of the expired demo.

    Hi
    I paid my annual subscription on the 26th of November last year. I've installed both Lightroom and Photoshop and started using them quite successfully.
    Then I installed the same products on my home Mac and migrated all my Apperture libs to it. Everything went smoothly.
    However one day I got a message that I can't develop photos in Lightroom due to my account problems.  I logged in into my adobe id to check what's wrong and realized that my account was on free creative cloud.
    I tried to check my other appleIds - all were empty. I found a link at the Adobe FAQ how to check orders but the page didn't find my order number I took from the Adobe order confirmation email.
    Does anybody know how to make it all working again? How to link again my paid order to my AdobeId?

    Contact sales support by web chat. They can cancel your current subscription and transfer you to the new one if you are within certain criteria. Otherwise you may need to wait until your subscription runs out and then sign up later.

  • I just bought the monthly package of lightroom and photoshop cc. I can't seem to find it under the apps on creative cloud - can you please assist me with this.

    You can right click the tab and choose "Close Tab" to close a tab.
    Some menu entries are hidden by default and only appear if you use the keyboard to open the menu.
    You can see the difference if you use Alt+F or Alt+B to open the "File" and "Bookmarks" menu and compare that to what you see if you use the mouse to open the menu after you have made the menu bar visible by pressing Alt or by pressing F10.
    Press F10 or press and hold the Alt key down to bring up the "Menu Bar" temporarily.

  • I have so called photo subscription for lightroom and photoshop. How can I get new version of lightroom?

    I have a 9.99 subscription for lightroom and photoshop. I only use lightroom and would like to try new version 6, which I think I should be eligible under subscription plan. I can't figure out how to upgrade my existing copy. Creative Cloud doesn't offer this option.

    Hi Zeljko Dakic,
    Kindly try the below mentioned link.
    Digital photography software | Download free Adobe Photoshop Lightroom CC trial
    If you are not able to see Lightroom try out the below mentioned steps.

  • I have dell xps it runs at 3840 x 2167 and bridge lightroom and photoshop are unusable as the type is so small if win is re scaled to a low res the products still use full res and you canot see text can you help!

    I am about to buy the above products for home and a laptop I bought the high res laptop for editing photos and the photos look great on the display but I cannot use photo shop and lightroom
    has any body had this problem and is there a simple fix that I have missed
    taking the res down in the control panel reduces the res but does not effect the programme
    by the way the dell xps is great
    dave

    Thanks for the info I know that there were problems with the high res
    I am using the latest photoshop and bridge from the cloud but only using the trial copy at the
    moment  
    I will look closer and try to scale it to a suitable level
    thanks dave

    There is that pitfall in buying HiDpi laptops for Windows.
    Only Photoshop CC 2014 has the option to scale the UI 200% in order to make it usable on these hires screens.
    CC and earlier does not have this and Adobe would have to retrofit them. Not likely with older products.

  • How can I syncronize Lightroom and Photoshop Elements data?

    How can I syncronize Lightroom and Photoshop Elements data?

    Hi Palsaran,
    As i understood, your requirement is to POST data from UI to backend.
    The above code you given is not correct if you want to use model based implementation.
    In UI5 you don't need to do an explicit Ajax call, for which we can use Models like OData, JSON etc.
    For your JSON example, you can use like,
    var oModel = new sap.ui.model.json.JSONModel();
    var oData = "YOUR JSON DATA";
    oModel.setData(oData)
    oModel.loadData(yourURL/Entityset,"POST");
    For ref, you can use the below link
    JsDoc Report - SAP UI development Toolkit for HTML5 - API Reference - sap.ui.model.json.JSONModel
    Thanks
