The Macbook Pro has a good GPU, a bigger screen etc but they charge twice the price because it's a 'pro' machine. You could of course work in RGB and convert it externally but it's more hassle.įrom what I can see, Adobe do the same thing as Apple with their laptops. However the designers I work with use Illustrator and Indesign for print output and they use CMYK all the time. I personally work in RGB - Final Cut and Shake etc don't support CMYK. If you don't use those things, Elements should be fine. I think Adobe just stripped out the most essential parts that you'd need for certain lines of work. The biggest thing is probably lack of CMYK support, which is necessary if you do print work.
I have people telling me I NEED full Photoshop, but I've never been able to justify the price.
