    Heavy Photoshop on Surface Pro 4?

    Got my surface pro 4, i7 16gb, 256gb SSD and did this drawing a few nights ago. (This is about 1/5th of the whole drawing). It went very well. Performance was very good and this file is close to 1/2 GB with 40+ layers and is 8 bit at approx 4000x6000 I did not do much with mixer brush sampling...

    Heavy Photoshop on Surface Pro 4?

    ok, i just purchased an SP4 i7 16gb, 256gb SSD. Will report back with my findings. If performance is too awful, i'll probably spring for the 16" wacom mobilestudio Pro

    Heavy Photoshop on Surface Pro 4?

    I did recently keep an eye on the amount of ram used in one of my medium size edits (~500mb psd file with 40+ layers, 8 bit, 4000x6000) and the amount of ram used was pretty consistently under 8gb. Now ... This wasn't the largest file i have. I have some files over 1GB but i wouldn't expect to...

    Heavy Photoshop on Surface Pro 4?

    i also heard that the CC2017 release crashes SP4 when you touch the screen. I'm currently experiencing this issue with my XPS15. I'm going to downgrade back to CC2015 on that computer.

    Heavy Photoshop on Surface Pro 4?

    What's the followup to this? I'm looking at the possibility of the wacom mobile studio pro vs the SP4 i7 16gb. The wacom is about $1k more. I do 21MP files with 40+ layers and on my current desktop (3.2ghz i7 3820, 32gb, 512gb ssd) it bogs down when I get up past about 30 layers. Using the mixer...

    Pen tilt?

    if you use a pc and photoshop or corel painter for doing "real" work, the biggest advantage of the surface over the ipad pro is the ability to edit your multi layer files directly in 5k or 8k resolution without having to flatten them and convert them to other color spaces. The ipad pro and...
