The user, a professional art photographer, &nbsp;wants to get an iMac Pro. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
They have a large Lightroom catalog of photos that they work on - over 150,000 photos. &nbsp;They do all their adjustments in Lightroom<br />
, and don't use Photoshop (although they may want to in the future) &nbsp;Lightroom needs to display several hundred previews that can be scrolled at a time, and they would like the previews to scroll quickly.<br />
<br />
So - although they are looking for fast display of multiple images, they are not doing any video editing, 3D rendering, or VR.<br />
<br />
They already have a 2.5 year old iMac with i7, 16 GB of RAM, and the video circuitry with (I don't recall) maybe 2 GB of VRAM<br />
<br />
<br />
I was going to recommend an iMac Pro bumped to 64GB RAM, and the Radeon Pro Vega with 64 of VRAM.<br />
<br />
I am not sure if increasing the configuration to 10-core Zeon will make a significant difference with Lightroom or Photoshop in the future.<br />
<br />
Any advice on the most satisfying configuration for the iMac Pro?<br />
<br />
Thanks.

Which iMac Pro should Adobe Lightroom user get?
