my starting layer size is more than double what you would see from a 21MP image. I typically use Photoshop for photography, so I'm editing uncompressed 21MP images with multiple layers.I'm using it for photos, with my source files being 50MP images (Canon 5DSr) with all editing done in 16-bit mode. If it gets relegated to using it in a pinch like my SP1, then I'm not going to spend the money.Ĭurious, how are you using Photoshop? I've never been able to push a machine past 8GB RAM in Photoshop. If this can handle my work I don't mind paying the price of it. I'm looking for something very small with styus support, thus I'm not considering larger laptops just yet. I'd like something like the SP4 that I can count on for heavy every-day use while being mobile, with at least a solid 4 hours of battery life when doing this kind of work. I had other apps that are part of my workflow taking up several more GB. I watched my RAM usage yesterday during editing and Photoshop was hitting about 9.5GB on the high end. My typical Photoshop file runs about 1GB when saved, with the occasional file exceeding 2GB. I checked out the Surface Book, but I ruled it out because the screen won't tilt to a position that makes me comortable for editing with the pen on the screen. Still, it gives me an idea of what to expect as compared to someone new to the SP line. I have a SP1 (i5/4GB/125GB) that I'll use in a pinch, but it is very limiting for the following reasons: Storage is too little even with SD cards, RAM is insufficient, battery life is 2 hours max when doing Photoshop, and the screen is a bit small. I have a SP4 i7/16GB/1TB on order and I'm wondering if it will meet my needs. Is anyone doing heavy Photoshop work with the Surface Pro 4? I'd like your feedback on the fit of the product for this work.
