1. Re: Using Mac Mini with Photoshop CS6 and Lightroom
Sudarshan Thiagarajan Nov 10, 2012 4:14 AM (in response to Carlo UK)For both Photoshop & Lightroom to work smoothly, the higher the RAM, the better it is!
Your new config will run just fine - for your work - which is photography.

2. Re: Using Mac Mini with Photoshop CS6 and Lightroom
conroy Nov 10, 2012 4:20 AM (in response to Sudarshan Thiagarajan)I think the new Mac Mini range has integrated Intel HD 4000 graphics with no optional discrete GPU. Is that known to be OK with Photoshop CS6?

3. Re: Using Mac Mini with Photoshop CS6 and Lightroom
Sudarshan Thiagarajan Nov 10, 2012 4:31 AM (in response to conroy)While it will not deliver 'blazing fast' performance, it has tested OK with Photoshop CS6 MGE recently and it has faired decently well in some benchmark reports. Since the OP insisted Mac Mini, I think he can go for it. Also, since his work demands more 'Photo-specific' editing, I guess he should be good. Not much 3D I assume!
Here are some references:

And I haven't heard of a 'reported failure' per se yet.
