ga22by Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 Hi folks, I'm new to mac and I've been looking around for some good photo editing software to use for creating concept art. Affinity looks excellent for its price and I worked with Serif software before switching to mac so I know I'll be using good software. So I'd love the purchase it. But, my mac only has a 32-bit version of Yosemite OSX. I was wondering if the software would still work for what I wanted it for which is mainly painting using a pressure sensitive Wacom tablet. Any advice on this would be great Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Callum Posted August 10, 2015 Staff Share Posted August 10, 2015 Hi Ga22by, Welcome to the forums :) The system requirements for the app state that it needs a 64bit processor to run.

markw Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 Yes AP is purely a 64-bit App.But I am very curious about your Mac, what is it?After Lion came out Apple dropped OS support for 32-bit processors and Yosemite requires a 64-bit processor, or so I thought. If it's mostly painting you want to do I personally favoure ArtRage4 and it will run in 32-bit mode. You can try a demo version of it too.

tiltowait Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 Yosemite requires 64-bit processors. I know you can sometimes get OS X running on unofficially supported hardware, but I'd be really surprised if you could get it running on a 32-bit system.
