![]() ![]() He was also part of the team that launched TechRadar where he rose to deputy editor. Based near Bath, UK, Dan stepped up to Pocket-lint from T3.com where he relaunched the UK lifestyle and technology site after a spell launching and editing Lifehacker UK. He’s a regular at tech shows like CES, Mobile World Congress (MWC) and IFA as well as other launches and events. This will change during the course of the year by adding M1X or M2 chips with higher memory support.Dan Grabham is the former associate editor at Pocket-lint working across features, news and reviews and has extensive experience writing about computing, mobile and internet topics. The M1 chip is a great thing in regards to performance and its low power consumption for great mobility, but Apple still addresses just entry level in regards to memory. So basically I decide, which kind of system to be used by purpose and requirements. video (Final Cut) and audio (Cubase) editing, because of its higher memory support as well as more suitable display (incl. The laptop is used as a mobile device for business and office applications, the desktop is mainly used for photo (Capture One, Photoshop). That's why I have 16 GB Memory as in minimum in my laptop (MacBook Pro M1) and 32 GB of RAM in my desktop (iMac Intel). Working with several layers in Photoshop and running Lightroom in parallel will request a lot of memory. More memory wouldn't have been a sin in your case. My memory and swap usage goes really crazy and the system get slow.Īnybody have similar issues or the system is running super smooth so far? I am in need of a desktop and still undecided what to get. ![]() However, I am having slowness issues editing my Canon R5 files on Photoshop with 4-5 editing layers and Lightroom running. I bought a MacBook Air 8Gb recently based on the multiple reviews and boasting about its performance. The later OS releases and APPS just killed your phone because it was in dire need of memory. They were until 8+ woefully underspec’ed on memory, and that became the reason why people upgrade. This is the iPhone debacle all over again. It is still orders of magnitude faster - and very much needed when running heavy apps/workloads. Just because the SSD is fast and swapping works at 50 fold rate of HDD’s does not mean that real memory is irrelevant. Your problem is only solvable with 16Gb or more memory. That is not the case - nor has M1 and MacOS 11 nullified the need for memory in applications. Yeah, unfortunately the Apple Prozelytes raved so hard about M1 and MacOS 11 that the less tech-savy crowd was lead to believe there was no limits, and M1 with 8Gb was a workstation class machine. I am not a pro, so do not use complex layering system in Photoshop. I've had cases where the swap used increased to around 16GB when editing pictures in Lightroom. Pressure is not red, but the swap used is 9GB and computer becomes unresponsive. Current status is when I opened Photoshop and the M1 becomes unusable for a short while maybe 30s before resuming photoshop. The red pressure is when I opened Adobe Lightroom with a relative small catalog(less than 1000 pictures in). Is Capture One known to require more memory than DxO? Photoshop does.Īdobe is currently working on M1 support for both Lightroom and Photoshop.ĭo find a quick check on my Activity. I'm planning on getting an iMac 24 as soon as Capture One supports the M1 chip. Memory use is 6.5GB, memory pressure is green. I'm running Firefox, DxO PhotoLab, Affinity Photo, Activity Monitor, and Terminal simultaneously on my 8GB M1 Macbook. If you try Affinity, please let us know what your experience is. Try Affinity Photo for the Mac / M1.ĭoesn't cost much and is very similar to Photoshop. You could do a really interesting experiment. ![]()
