as this laptop was a gift, it took a while to answer your question. Though I am not well versed in computers, by all accounts, it will run elements 12...but like with everything I'm sure there are " upgrades " available..hope this helped

Probably will work fine. Only kept unit for a couple of weeks as Windows8 drove us nuts.

It's an ideal machine. Since you're working with video, you might want to make sure the ram is maxed out if it's not already. 8 gigs is max.

Works great with my Adobe Photoshop 10 i use it for video / photo editing and gaming but there are faster processors for the same price now if your motherboard can take them

It will run pretty well. There's a video on youtube with someone running it with only 1GB of RAM and it's fine. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AykH-zUcPJw

This is a gaming computer, so its built to withstand gaming needs. Given that, yes, this computer will run premier and photoshop just fine.

You're gpu would be the main facter in performence, but you should be fine. I run Windows 8 and there are no problems for me

I have Photoshop Elements 11 and it works very well with that version. It should be the same with Elements 12.

It is, but get enough ram, 16gb or at least two gb for each core. Also don't forget that much of video rendering in modern NLEs is off loaded to the graphics processors.

no you are better off getting something with a better graphic card. the card on this machine is good but not great. try the 18 inch way better card.

yes, for email, FB, Photos and photoshopping, the MacBook 13" is a perfect laptop! It is still very fast, and should be relatively modern for another 5 years or so before becoming outdated.

You would have to check the requirements, specially in regard to the GPU/3D video requirements, but in my experience it runs well even very heavy business and development software, like Visual Studio 2012 Ultimate, but you'll have to check if the video requirements are up to standards for games.

I run Corels' Paint Shop Pro X which can use Photoshop plug-ins without problem. You do have room to upgrade the graphics card if you want to.

For photo editing and stuff, i would recommend you to go for 8 gigs of ram. It really helps

Yes you should be able, depending on your processor and amount of RAM available

The answer is YES. The HP Envy 20-d090 is well above the minimum requirements to run Photoshop or Adobe Elements. It runs on a dual core Pentium G640 processor that is way faster than a Pentium 4 single core. It also has a screen resolution of 1600x900, 4 GB of Ram, and 1 TB hard drive. Hope this helps!

I don't see why not. But I am not sure you will be running much of anything else while using Photoshop with this computer. I installed Windows 8 and it gives you a status report of sorts. Graphics was 5.5 which is middle of the road. Also, I would recommend maxing out on the Ram. You can easily add RAM to this computer. Just go to the crucial memory website and it will automatically tell you what ram to buy and which slots to install. Good Luck! I have yet to install Elements on this one because I am thinking of buying another one just for me which I will most likely purchase either Photoshop or Lightroom 4. Try it and let us all know how it works. I don't see why not. But I am not sure you will be running much of anything else while using Photoshop with this computer.

this depends on what the main task is. If you are using it for email and internet then you are good to go. If you are going to do some photoshop editing and 3d modeling then way too low. Hopefully this help.
