PS Elements on an iMac with Intel Core 2 Duo processor


Recommended Posts

I'm applying for a grant to get some computers in my high school classroom. I want to scan b + w

negatives and use PS Elements to edit the photos. Our entire school district is Mac. By far the best deal is

one of the new Intel-based iMacs. But. . . I've read that PS and PS Elements are very slow on these

machines and will be until Adobe comes out with new versions that are designed for the Intel machines.

 

Does anyone have experience running PS Elements on one of these machines? Is it painfully slow? I'm

thinking of limping along for the year with just iPhoto, hoping Adobe has something by next fall. Any

advice welcome. Thanks.

Elements was slow, but I wouldn't say painfully slow on my intel iMac. (I'm using CS2 now,

and it isn't all that bad for a plodding, low-production guy such as myself.) One of the

best parts about elements without PS is Bridge. But the latest version of iphoto isn't really

all that bad either. And You may not have to wait that long. We're all hoping adobe

upgrades next spring.
