Photoshop For Apple Mac Pro: Enjoy Faster Performance and Stability with Apple M1 Chip Support

For the record Im experiencing a lot of problems with photoshop on my m1 machine. I would hold on to my intel MacBook for a few months, to see if this gets sorted out with the new native photoshop. Right now it is not very usable. I see spinning beach balls in quantities I never saw before.

I recently jumped on the 16in Pro with the M1 pro, and 16bg of memory and have had the chance to put it through extensive editing over the past month, all 50mp GFX raw files. I run the latest PS configuration and it works very good, but...big but, even with the new hardware the ram is getting maxed out and sharing memory after running photoshop for about 1 hour or so, and my workflow slows down with it. As it is only 400$ more, I think I will be returning and getting the 32gb as others have suggested. Although it hasn't given me much trouble now, it worries me to spend this kind of money only to have a clogged down macbook 3 years down the line.

2) This is a photoshop issue that I imagine will be corrected with time and development on the new chip, but dialogue boxes such as "Do you want to save before closing?" are invisible and only respond with you press return or esc, locking you out of control. Annoying, but can be managed by knowing when they will pop up and what command is needed.

You and D Fosse are 100% right here. Ram for photoshop is important to a point. Unless batch processing a lot of files at once, it seems 16 or 32 perform more or less the same, thanks to fast memory and super fast SSD.

It had a large inpact on massive file sizes in photoshop. Like 10-20gb files, I guess where the entire file is larger than the amount of memory you have. But 10gb is a massive file. I have 30 plus layer psb files that are 50mp and 16 bit and I think they are only 2-3gb. I think. 2ff7e9595c
