Recommended system requirements


Working with high-resolution images and doing calculation heavy adjustments may put too much pressure on the minimum requirements system to work properly. In such cases and to optimize performance, please follow the recommendations below:

• Use processors with multiple cores, e.g. Intel Core i7TM or better

• Have 16 GB of RAM or more

• Leave plenty of hard disk space free for your images

• A fast hard disk e.g. a Solid State Disk (SSD)

• A fast Graphics card from NVIDIA or AMD, e.g. AMD Radeon 7950 (Mac) / AMD R9 290 (Win) or newer, with minimum 2GB RAM. We recommend using the Mac Pro (late 2013) containing the dual AMD D700 GPU.
