Best Version Photoshop

[Freddy Wedder™]

i feel that the new versions of photoshop are consuming a lot of my computer, what would be the best optimized version with the neural filters?

[Ranjisha Sengupta]

Hi @Freddy Wedder™ 

Thanks for reaching out. 

We always recommend using the latest version of any application. The running of the application depends on various factors like the type of system limitations, workflow, and type of file. 

Would you mind sharing your system specification and workflow? What is happening when you use Neural filters now?

We're here to help, just need some info.

Best,

Ranjisha

Thanks for the support, see below my Setup:

Motherboard: B450 Aorus M
Processor: AMD Ryzen 5 5600G with Radeon Graphics 3.90 GHz
RAM memory: 16gb
ssd: 500gb
HD: 500GB

When I run photoshop, my computer is using 90% of the RAM, is this normal?

About the filters I only mentioned because I thought there would be some old version would be well optimized

[Bojan Živković]

Yes, its usually normal, it depends on many factors. Just checking my system, Ryzen 5 5600G too what does not really matter. My system is consuming 14,8GB at the moment with Photoshop and Google Chrome + Notepad running in the background. Only Windows will eat app. 5 GB of memory.

Hi @Freddy Wedder™ you list your total HD space - what is your available space found under Photoshop/Preferences/Scratch Disk?

[Freddy Wedder™]

Hi @kevin stohlmeyer 95,30GB

hi @Freddy Wedder™ it may be helpful to go to Help Menu/System Info and copy/paste the details here to give us a better idea of your setup. Reply only once as it takes the forum a while to process all the data.

You can try an older version of Photoshop (Neural Filters were added starting with the 2021 version), but chances are, because they were new, Neural Filters in the 2021 or 2022 version of Photoshop might not be any better optimized than they are today.

The Adobe Creative Cloud app lets you install the last two major versions of Photoshop, so you can certainly try installing the previous version and see if it runs Neural Filters better than the current version on your computer. But in that older version of Photoshop, the Neural Filters are different and less up to date, so they might not actually be better optimized.

The important thing about Neural Filters is that they require more resources than older software because they use AI/machine learning. I recently tested one Neural Filter feature that takes 7 seconds on my current computer, and it takes over 30 seconds on my 5-year-old computer. The current computer has double the performance cores, a much more powerful GPU, and dedicated machine learning hardware on the SoC. The older computer, lacking all of that, is several times slower with Neural Filters.

In other words, this is less a matter of finding an older version of Photoshop that’s better optimized for Neural Filters on older hardware, it’s more about the opposite: optimizing hardware for machine learning features in current software from any company. All AI-based image editing software has relatively high system requirements. Yes, it costs a lot of money to upgrade a computer. But the bottom line is, the reason Neural Filters and many other AI solutions from other companies did not exist several years ago, is because back then the hardware to do it quickly was simply not available in personal computers. AI software is now more common only because the right hardware for it started becoming widely available only recently.

Thanks for answering

About the neural filters now that you mentioned it makes a lot of sense for the new versions to be more optimized, I'll try to lower the photoshop settings more to see if I solve his memory usage problem

I thought that previous versions would be lighter because they wouldn't have as many features as they do today.

I thought that previous versions would be lighter because they wouldn't have as many features as they do today, what would be the best optimized version with the neural filters?

By @Freddy Wedder™

One of the features the older versions don't have are neural filters 🙂

Hey I see that i started a similar topic to yours. Did you manage to figure something out?
