I've used Photoshop 3 or 4 on a Centris 650 (with full 040 onboard) It was sluggish, but it worked. I recommend RAM (I has something like 32MB in the Centris, back in the day)

I did test the beta and PS 1 on a SE and it worked ok...

An interesting project.

Photoshop 1.x and earlier may be sensitive to Mac OS version. Apple made many changes to QuickDraw during the System 6 era. NuBus video cards may also be sensitive.

Photoshop 2.x should run happily on any standard Mac and most video cards will work.

I have Photoshop 2.5 and it runs just fine on my Plus (4mb), but it gives me an error on start that there isn't any color support. :b&w:

from original Adobe PS 1.0.7 manuals:

• Macintosh SE, SE/30, II, IIx, IIci, IIcx with a minimum of 2 megabaytes of RAM

• System software 6.0.3

For Adobe PS 2.5:

• An Apple Macintosh II computer with a 68020 (or any later model) with a minimum 3 MB of RAM.

• System software 6.0.7

• 32-bit QuickDraw

Adobe recommends a Macintosh II with 68030 or 68040 processor, System 7 or higher and from 5 to 8 MB RAM.
