Create Adobe Specific Devices
Full disclosure: I'm not super computer savvy, so if this sounds completely ludicrous, I would like to know WHY so I can learn.
Now, I don't know if this has been brought up ever or if it's even feasible, but that's why it's an idea, right? I also didn't feel like scouring through zillions of posts to figure it out... Why doesn't Adobe either collaborate with someone or just develop Adobe specific devices? In other words, create a device, whether it's a laptop, PC, or tab, that is fully optimized for program usage. I feel like I'm always reading how photoshop causes crashes or runs slowly etc., even though the person's device is supposed to be compatible. That way, whenever Adobe decides to do an update, there's no fluctuation in quality or multiple bugs to fix over however many platforms or systems people are using; everything just updates as one. Personally, I usually use Photoshop with plugins and camera raw to edit my workflow and just running photoshop alone takes up most of my memory or creates other problems in which I am subjected to the surprise BSOD and losing my progress. Lightroom is more "user-friendly" but still can be just as confusing, I feel. Adobe could also include easier tutorials within the device and a help system that uses more beginner-friendly vocabulary. If they wanted to keep the subscription service, they could do so within the device or, for those who already are subscribers, just log in and go. The device could also include the availability of plugins for other editing software, as it already does.
For me, it's been extremely frustrating that after doing a ton of research on the compatibility of adobe programs with various laptops and pcs, purchasing one that supposedly was deemed "compatible", then trying to utilize photoshop only to have it cause BSOD and constantly run slow during. This might be an issue with my internal system or whatever, but I feel like lately I'm spending less time getting work done and more time trying to figure out how I can optimize my laptop to run more efficiently with Photoshop. I do know there are other editing programs out there and have tried MANY of them. However, in my experience, each program has a very limited number of tools that are comparable to Photoshop. Therefore, I always find myself going back to be able to produce a more "quality" image.
