Photoshop question
My G5 just died, and I would appreciate guidance on replacing it.
I’m a fine artist, and use Photoshop to doctor photos of my work.
On rare occasion, I work with After Effects.
I hate the concept of Creative Cloud, and hope to avoid it.
So the questions are:
1. Is there a decent non-cloud Photoshop that will run
on the newer Macs?
2. Holy cow, Which computer? I’m considering iMac or mini.
Or is it necessary to go with a Mac Pro?
Thanks- and I’ll probably be bombarding you with dumb
questions as things progress (or digress). -

[james lang] “1. Is there a decent non-cloud Photoshop that will run

It’s horribly expensive for it’s performance as it was pricey to start with and hasn’t been updated in years. Any iMac will do the job. Of course a good pc will the do the same job faster and for less money.

Thanks for getting back, Dominic. I went on and ordered an iMac.
The price of a basic Mac Pro is shocking.
