Re: Quiet Photoshop workstation

Hey guys, we're all late coming back, it's just the season. Thanks a lot for your feedback. The depth and details are beyond anything I expected, I'm overwhelmed.

Hello everybody, I am planning a Photoshop workstation as an upgrade to my old notebook, mainly for preproduction artwork for entertainment media. This will be my first build, so please feel free to point out any mistakes, small and large. My primary concerns are: Photoshop brush performance (single...
