What kind of Photoshop does a layout designer need?

Question

HTML

Happy Old New Year friends everyone!
Tell me, Photoshop CS6 will be sufficient for a modern, comfortable layout, or, perhaps, you need to install a newer version and which one (windows 10, RAM 4 GB)

Answer 1

The layout designer needs this thing
www.adobe.com/ua/creativecloud/extract.html
It works here and is completely free https://assets.adobe.com/
Or this https://avocode.com/
You can also do this, but I haven't tried https://zeplin.io/

Answer 2

Enough is enough

Answer 3

It’s ideal to transfer everything in zeplin, much faster and more convenient than photoshop, besides, it’s free and already works with psd. Well, of course, features for a layout designer such as exporting palettes and styles in the desired format (Sass/SCSS/LESS/etc)

Answer 4

windows 10, RAM 4 GB - very little for comfortable work, on any version. If 1 - 2 tabs and small files - CS6 will fly, but as soon as you open 3-4 files of 100 mb each - it will be hard.
I advise you to have 8GB for Photoshop if it's layout and at least 16 if it's a designer.
Moreover, today it is not an expensive pleasure.

Answer 5

You need to have the latter, since Photoshop has a bad theme that documents created in the new editor will not open in the old one.
In addition, owning modern Photoshop is not so expensive. A subscription for photographers costs only 299 rubles. per month.

Answer 6

Any version will depend on many factors, what you need from PS, what layouts are sent.
My optimized layout for layout weighs 40-80mb. I think such a layout on your system would not slow down with the CC 2017 version.
CS6 is enough for a modern, comfortable layout if the layouts are without artboards.
I advise you to choose what suits you best, see the tools and requirements, here are the links:
