Adobe Creative Suite 6: is your current system supported?

As part of Adobe’s Pho­to­shop CS6 Pub­lic Beta announce­ment, the com­pany said that it will con­tinue to pro­vide offi­cial sup­port for Win­dows XP, and Win­dows 7, but will be drop­ping offi­cial sup­port for Win­dows Vista. As you might know, Light­room 4 is no longer offi­cially sup­ported on Win­dows XP. For Mac OX OS, Adobe is offi­cially end­ing sup­port for Mac­in­tosh sys­tems that are not 64-bit capa­ble. Pre­miere Pro CS6  requires Mac OS X v10.6.8 or v10.7, and Win­dows 7 with Ser­vice Pack 1, but it is not clear if Win­dows Vista and/or XP will be sup­ported. We have been beta test­ing Pre­miere Pro CS6 for sev­eral months and I can tell you this: it is sweeeeet!!! Actu­ally, most of our “Con­ver­sa­tions with Friends” have been edited on CS6.

If you are just get­ting started with video and want to explore a video edit­ing appli­ca­tion, you could also con­sider Pre­miere Ele­ments 10.  Ele­ments is a slightly less pow­er­ful, but still very capa­ble ver­sion of Pre­miere Pro with an easier-to-use inter­face. It is impor­tant to know that Pre­miere Pro is a 64-bit only soft­ware and requires a com­puter with a 64-bit proces­sor and 64-bit oper­at­ing sys­tem. Pre­miere Ele­ments 10 includes both 32-bit and 64-bit ver­sions to run on both sys­tems, but the 32-bit ver­sion won’t be able to access more than 4 GB of RAM. The same is true for the old Final Cut Pro 7 and older.

If you are curi­ous about which NVIDIA graph­ics cards are bet­ter for Adobe’s CS6 Suite, gohere.
