Question

Photoshop Element 2025 and AMD processors?

Hi all,

I just installed Photoshop Elements 2025 on my rather old PC with AMD processor and WIN 10. I ran into the issue of the missing DLL ippcvm7, which apparently is from an Intel library. As a switch to a newer computer with WIN 11 was anyway on my list for 2025 I decided to do this asap. But: it is not clear to me if I need to buy an Intel based system in order to avoid the above DLL issue or if I could still use an AMD based system.

I'll be glad for any advice on this

 

Ralph

 

P.S: I think, that good customer orientation by Adobe would have required it to clarify this compatibility issue since the problem initially came up in 2020!

Hey, @ralphe64621535. Welcome to the Photoshop Community. I'll move your post to the Photoshop Elements board. 

 

While the error suggests the missing DLL is related to Intel, it is more of a CPU technology requirement. As stated in the technical specification content here you'll need:

  • Intel 6th Generation or newer processor or AMD equivalent with SSE4.2 support

I hope this clarifies. Thanks!

@ralphe64621535 that error is related to the CPU architecture for both Intel and AMD

The current CPU's have support for SSE 4.2 and higher
