![]() If you have not done so already back up your data to an external drive, preferably not via time machine. I suspect your machine is over heating but it could be something else. Power supplies and drives are the other common causes of random freezes. Heat is the bete noir of the Apple form factor in all its manifestations. Sadly random freezes are generally hardware related. ![]() ![]() I have not had trouble using my MPB of that vintage with PS 2017 but I do not specifically recall using Puppet warp which I will have to remember to try. The Intel GPU on that generation of CPUs is anemic. I don't want to consider a PC, unless I really really have to. The MacBook pro's are really expensive now (I live in the UK, and we have this Brexit madness, which means the retail prices have shot up recently) I'm also concerned that my purchase won't be particularly future proof. I was tempted to get a mac mini to leave in the studio, however they don't seem to have been upgraded for a couple of years, so I'm not sure that would be a long term solution. They suggested I downgrade photoshop, which I did to the 2015 version, and within a day, photoshop complained about the GPU, and disabled it again.ĭoes anyone have any ideas, or am I in the position where I have to upgrade my mac to get me working properly? Upgrading my mac doesn't seem straight forward either. I contacted Adobe, who confirmed that the graphics card - Intel HD Graphics 4000, was no longer supported, which is a bit of a pain, considering the machine is only just over 3 years old. After a few days, I got a warning there was a problem with my display driver, and the GPU had been disabled, which stops functions like perspective warp amongst others from working. I upgraded to photoshop cc 2017, and this worked for a few days, still with the occasional freeze. ![]() Things started to go wrong when I upgraded to MacOS Sierra, and I noticed the machine started to freeze a few times during the day, which required a hard reset. I have been using my MBP 13" and thunderbolt monitor for image editing until recently with no problems.
