Hi,
So, I have a late 2013 rMBP paired with a Thunderbolt display I bought brand new early 2014.
The specs are:
2.8 GHz i7
16GB 1600 MHz DDR3
500gb drive with 200GB available.
For simple editing in Lightroom for my 35mm images, it works just fine. But for Photoshop, not so much.
I'm getting back into retouching (assuming that's still a thing after this pandemic) and to brush up on my skills, I've been practicing. My laptop simply cannot handle most of what I need to do in PS. There is a two second lag using the brush tool, for instance. Any ideas or should I just bite the bullet and get a new iMac with 64GB of RAM (added myself, of course.) I can get the education discount, so the 3.7GHz 5k iMac with 2TB of storage would be $2,099. Still a lot of money but is it worth it or can I somehow make my setup work? Maybe if I stop using smart objects?
