Aim for a quad-core, 3 GHz CPU, 8 GB of RAM, a small SSD, and maybe a GPU for a good computer that can handle most Photoshop needs. If you’re a heavy user, with large image files and extensive editing, consider a 3.5-4 GHz CPU, 16-32 GB RAM, and maybe even ditch the hard drives for a full SSD kit.

• 1.6GHz or faster processor with SSE2 support.
• Microsoft Windows 7 with Service Pack 1, Windows 8.1 or Windows.
• 10 (recommended); 64-bit versions only (32-bit not supported)
• 4 GB of RAM (8 GB recommended)
• 5.2 GB of available hard-disk space to install applications; additional 2.4 GB to download all optional content.

Can I Run Adobe Photoshop? Photoshop System Requirements – Adobe recommend an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti to run Adobe Photoshop smoothly. You will need at least 3 GB storage space to install Adobe Photoshop. The minimum RAM requirement for Adobe Photoshop is 2 GB, but 8GB is recommended.

Photoshop can use as much as 2GB of RAM when running on a 32-bit system. However, if you have 2GB of RAM installed, you won’t want Photoshop to use all of it. Otherwise, you won’t have any RAM left for the system, causing it to use the virtual memory on disk, which is much slower.

Obviously, faster RAM is indeed faster, but often the difference is so small that it does not have a measurable impact on system performance. It is entirely possible that Photoshop CS6 can benefit from using higher frequency RAM, so that is one question we want to answer.

Tim’s Quick Answer: As long as the latest version of the application is working properly, including any plug-ins and configuration settings, it is perfectly safe to uninstall the older version of the application.

The key to this whole deal is that Adobe allows a free Photoshop download only for an old version of the app. Namely Photoshop CS2, which was released in May 2005. CS2 was one of the first versions of the Photoshop, if not the very first, with Internet activation.

Supported versions

No, it won’t be obsolete in the next 10 years. That’s my opinion because there isn’t any serious competitor on market while images are popular more than ever.

If you want to be able to perform random edits to photos in the future without paying for a subscription or re-subscribing every time you want to edit photos, you’ll need to buy a standalone version of Photoshop. With Photoshop Elements, you pay once and own it forever.
