Would you recommend using Photoshop on this computer?

It should run photoshop perfectly fine. I run games and tons of productivity tools on mine. I have upgraded my RAM, but most programs are processor intensive over RAM. And the HP can handle most productivity software that you can throw at it.

As far I know, it should work pretty well, however GIMP is a free alternative that works fast and has as many features.

My daughter likes to do photo editing and has not had any problems that I know of...

I use it for Photoshop, and it seems to work very well. Photoshop itself has issues with Windows 8, but that's another issue.

The pen input is really nice for Adobe Creative suite. You'll have to download addition drivers from Wacom. So from that perspective it would be a great PS tool. But if I were to go that route I would rather spring for a core i5 surface pro 3. A traditional laptop should be more powerful dollar for dollar but you don't get the wacom digitizer.

It would help load up Photoshop and Lightroom, but you won't see any great performance bumps in the processing of photos. (unless you're editing the same photos for extended periods of time). otherwise you'll be limited by the regular hard drive speed, processor, RAM, etc.

I love this machine. I import directly into Photoshop and it works great, crisp clear images at any DPI.

If you really want to use all the images then yes you need photoshop as many of the files are photoshop files and use layers.

Yes. I am running Photoshop CS6. Mine is i7. I am still tempted to up the RAM. But you should have no worries.

Hello! The resolution for the camera is 1.3 megapixel. And yes, you can run photoshop on this laptop. Thanks.

I run PhotoShop and the processor is fast enough. With Windows 8 and 8GB of RAM, it will run Internet Explorer at the same time without noticeably affecting PhotoShop performance. How well multiple open web pages perform is more a function of your internet connection speed. If you want more speed out of PhotoShop, try adding more RAM.

I haven't used Manga Studio, but it has no problems with Photoshop. However, I don't use it in an intensive way, so my usage may not be typical. So far my only complaint is that Windows 8 is terrible and I strongly dislike the charms menu that keeps popping up when I don't want it to. The keyboard is also somewhat clunky but passable, I'm sure I'll get used to it in time. Other than that, awesome laptop.

It is basically a Windows Surface unit with Windows 8 but with a better chip and memory. You should be able to load Photoshop to it. it has enough room, and during my research I read reviews from a number of people saying Photoshop works great. I haven't loaded my CS4 version, because the preloaded Corel X3 trial is so much better for drawing and painting. I'll be getting the full version once the trial expires. It doesn't have a DVD drive, so if you want to load from discs, you'll need an external. I picked a Samsung unit up from Amazon for 35 bucks. You can also purchase direct downloads as well, although that won't help if your existing Photoshop is disc only. Hope that helps.

I'm on Windows 7 / 64 Bit, but don't scan into Photoshop. It works great scanning into Paint.NET.

make the ram 8GB and you will be flying! otherwise works pretty good with photoshop but i think that it will work as good with engineering design like autodesk, solid works and etc. You can really feel the difference between celeron or pentium proc (i wont even mention AMD...)

Sorry not exactly sure what are the requirements for photoshop software you will be using, certainly this is an i7 4Gen laptop, should be able to run any programs on it, if you are currently using a laptop and you have used the same applications with that many pictures and works fine, then with newer models you shouldn't have any problem. We would also recommend to find more info online.Thank you,

Basic photo editing will probably not be a problem depending on the amount of RAM available for the onboard GPU to share and the size of the image in question. Otherwise, a CUDA capable graphics card will accelerate certain Photoshop functions.

Any computer can in principle run any type of software. How much mileage you get out of it will depend on how complex the software is, how complex are the tasks you need to perform, how large are the individual images to expect to edit, how large your overall image library is, and how much you are willing to squint (or are willing to pay for an external monitor). Photo editing software is a broad category - power functions in Photoshop will work very slowly if at all, whereas cropping in Picassa will have no trouble. The 11"MBA was designed as a tool for common productivity tasks (at which it is fantastic), not as a photo editing powerhouse. It doesn't have the memory, storage, graphics and computing power to handle complex tasks. For very simple ones though - sure.

This is a gaming computer, so its built to withstand gaming needs. Given that, yes, this computer will run premier and photoshop just fine.
