Nope... not at this time. Since it has a N-Trig stylus, you won't get pressure sensitivity in Photoshop (or, Painter, SAI, etc etc) because the pen API is not Wintab. I've been told twice by N-Trig tech support that Wintab is coming this year, but their track record is lousy and it's any body's guess if it will happen. You can run Photoshop etc just fine but the stylus just acts like a very accurate mouse pointer. Artrage and Sketchbook Pro 6 work very well on the Sony, as well as all of the Microsoft products (esp OneNote).

Two main issues: 1) Space on the SSD 2) Poor driver compatibility with N-trig digitizer. When I was looking at tablets, I decided that I could live without that in PhotoShop because I can do any sketches in ArtRage (which is fully compatible with Adobe layers). They may have fixed the drivers by now; I haven't checked recently. Speed has never been an issue.

The stylus/digitizer is by ntrig, which does not have a good reputation for working well with PhotoShop. I've tried it myself and it doesn't work except as a simple mouse pointer.

I don't think you can use the stylus with adobe since they don't support n-trig stylus. Besides that it works just fine

You need to use the provided software. We transferred our images from Photoshop (where we did our editing) to their software. We found the editing software difficult.

When the first series Creative Suite came out, I upgraded from Photoshop to CS1. Great! What I didn't know is, I would never, ever, ever use Illustrator or the other programs. I ONLY used Photoshop. But I've been stuck because as you correctly point out, Wirtzy, you can't upgrade from a suites package back to a single program. My workaround (certainly not an option for many, many Photoshop users), is to swap downward for the latest Photoshop Elements and make much more use of Lightroom (which is an excellent photo editing program). I won't have a CMYK color palette and maybe there will come a day when that's a problem, but I use it so rarely that I just don't care to worry about it.

I write novels, play World of Warcraft and frequently use Adobe photoshop...with 16GB of system RAM and a 3GB video card, I'd definitely say "yes" to your question.

I think so, I use some Adobe software like Photoshop and Illustrator with no trouble. It does have 2 video cards so it will take on some graphic processing quite easily.

It will run Adobe Photoshop (I have CS6 Master Collection installed). The external resources will be limited by the single USB port and the speed. Your cache settings in PS Preferences will be limited as well with only a 256GB internal drive. You can specify the alternative cache area for your external drive in Photoshop, but once again the speed is limited by the USB interface. If you are a photographer and in the field, this will work until you can get back to your desktop. I found the screen too small to work with the precision required for Photoshop. Lightroom might be the alternative if you are just fixing photos. It will run Adobe Photoshop (I have CS6 Master Collection installed).

That's true though there is also the very reasonably priced Photoshop Elements.JPEG is fine for casual photography but if you absolutely NEED to get a perfect shot, RAW is the way to go.

It would help load up Photoshop and Lightroom, but you won't see any great performance bumps in the processing of photos. (unless you're editing the same photos for extended periods of time). otherwise you'll be limited by the regular hard drive speed, processor, RAM, etc.

Yes, Adobe Photoshop Elements 4.0 will install and run on Windows 8 computer. I have the program and have been using it for several years. You will receive warnings about incompatibility, but these can be ignored. All the features that you want and need work properly.

I use Adobe Illustrator and Design along with Blender and, of course, Adobe Photoshop Elements and have had no problems at all. It's a big foot print of a machine, though.

Sorry not exactly sure what are the requirements for photoshop software you will be using, certainly this is an i7 4Gen laptop, should be able to run any programs on it, if you are currently using a laptop and you have used the same applications with that many pictures and works fine, then with newer models you shouldn't have any problem. We would also recommend to find more info online.Thank you,

I would imagine that it is... I don't really create any graphics. But I do have an older version of Adobe Photoshop Extensions that I will install, and maybe play around with.

It can run Photoshop, yes. However, performance will not be great- especially when applying CPU intensive features like rendering or filters.

I would think it would be suitable, but I don't use Illustrator that much. I mainly use it in Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop and I have to say it works very well in those two environments.

Any computer can in principle run any type of software. How much mileage you get out of it will depend on how complex the software is, how complex are the tasks you need to perform, how large are the individual images to expect to edit, how large your overall image library is, and how much you are willing to squint (or are willing to pay for an external monitor). Photo editing software is a broad category - power functions in Photoshop will work very slowly if at all, whereas cropping in Picassa will have no trouble. The 11"MBA was designed as a tool for common productivity tasks (at which it is fantastic), not as a photo editing powerhouse. It doesn't have the memory, storage, graphics and computing power to handle complex tasks. For very simple ones though - sure.

Aye, I'm actually using Photoshop now on it. Don't see any reason why it wouldn't be supported.
