Can My Mac Run Photoshop?

Last updated on September 24, 2022 @ 1:18 pm

If you’re a Mac user, you may be wondering if you can run Photoshop on your computer. The answer is yes!

Photoshop is a widely used photo editing software application that is available for both Windows and Mac. There are some slight differences between the two versions, but overall they are very similar.

PRO TIP: If you are unsure about whether or not your Mac can run Photoshop, it is best to consult with an expert before proceeding. Trying to install and run Photoshop on an incompatible system can lead to system instability and data loss.

Photoshop is a fairly resource-intensive program, so it’s important to make sure that your Mac has the necessary specs to run it. Here are the minimum system requirements for Photoshop:

  • Intel processor with 64-bit support
  • Mac OS X v10.6.8 or v10.7
  • 1GB of RAM (2GB recommended)
  • 2GB of available hard-disk space for installation; additional free space required during installation (cannot install on a volume that uses a case-sensitive file system or on removable flash storage devices)
  • 1024×768 display (1280×800 recommended) with 16-bit color and 512MB of VRAM
  • (Optional) OpenGL 2.0–capable system

So, as long as your Mac meets the minimum system requirements, you should be able to run Photoshop without any problems.
