Broadband Internet connection required for online servicesįor updates to system requirements, visit įor CS Live system requirements, visit This product may allow you to extend its functionality by accessing certain features that are hosted online, including the Adobe CS Live online services ('Online Services').QuickTime 7.4.5 required for multimedia features.Some 3D features in Adobe Photoshop Extended require an OpenGL 2.0 capable graphics card with at least 256MB of VRAM (512MB VRAM is recommended).1,024x768 display (1,280x800 recommended) with qualified hardware-accelerated OpenGL® graphics care, 16-bit color and 256MB VRAM.2GB of available hard-disk space for installation additional hard-disk space required during installation (Photoshop CS5.1 cannot be installed on a volume that uses a case-sensitive file system or on flash-based storage devices.).Mac OS X v10.5.7 minimum is required Mac OS v10.6.2 is recommended 32-bit and 64-bit systems (You may need to run 32-bit in order to run 32-bit only plug-ins.).All of these have some system like this except PS, PSP and CorelDRAW. Even Google's free Picasa has this feature. Just be sure to get an app that has some built-in system to automatically protect your original images from edits you make, unless of course, you know for sure you won't need to go back later on. Lightroom, for example, has better digital noise cleanup and chromatic distortion (commonly known as purple fringe repair, which Lightroom lets you select directly from the image) than Dx0 Optics, so you have to read reviews or try most of these before you buy.

I assume that most folks will find some features of one or another of these apps preferable. It is very fast and I think some of the functions are less complicated, plus it has lots more features. Of all of these, for quick and dirty editing and 'downsizing' the results for web submission, I'm beginning to prefer ACDSee. No other major photo editor has a problem like this in my experience (and I'm still going back and forth between these apps as new versions come out), including ACDSee, Corel PSP, Dx0 Optics, CorelDRAW, Zoner Pro and even Photoshop itself. That's right, sometimes it chokes on one photo. It will choke when exporting one or more photos with an error stating there's 'insufficient memory'. In recent years I've been using this a lot with my state-of-the-art win7 32-bit system with 4GB RAM, which should be sufficient for viewing/editing at most around 15 or 20 pics no larger than 4.5MB ea (while not running any other software), but Lightroom continues to have some kind of memory issues that I'm sure they would prefer to associate with 'deficiencies' in my computer, even though it has all new hardware less than 2 years old.
