Hi everyone,
I would like to buy a Macbook Pro but do not know how much Memory I need for the following tasks:
- Adobe Photoshop on a regular basis (Panorama stitching of multiple 42 Mpx Raw files fir big prints, focal blending, focus stacking, time blending and combing of different other elements) while browsing, e-mailing... I will not buy a camera with more Mpx in the future.
- Final Cut Pro for 4k videos (amateur level, monthly)
I actually use this configuration but it is not really usable for 4k video editing:
- Windows 10
- Intel Core i7 6700K 4.00GHz, GeForce GTX 1060 3GB, 16 GB DDR4-3200 upgraded to 32 because I constantly ran out of memory when the files where bigger than 2 GB (.PSB). Now it is working OK.
I also want to keep it for several years. If a MBP is overkill fir me, I can wait for the M2 MB.
Does Windows need more RAM than macOS?
Many thanks
