Does Impastoshop works with Photoshop CS5?
Short answer: Yes! As with PS CS6 Impastoshop will work with PS CS5 but not as a panel extension just using its brushes, layer styles and actions. The major difference is that Photoshop brushes engine is not the very same in CS5 as in CS6 and later versions, the behaviour of the brushes may vary slightly, that's why I don't recommend it at all.
REQUIREMENTS
The Panel was developed and intensively tested with:
- Adobe Photoshop CS6, CC, CC2014, CC2015, CC2017 & CC2018 (tested also in CS5)
- Wacom tablets: Intuos 4, Graphire 4 and Cintiq Companion Hybrid.
- Windows 10 with a Pc Intel Core I7 3770 @ 3.40Ghz + 8gb RAM + NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960
- Windows 7 ultimate 64-bit SP1 with an Intel Core i5-2300 CPU @ 2.80Ghz, 4 GB RAM, Ati Radeon HD 5670
- iMac (27-inch, late 2012) 3,4 Ghz Intel Core i7 with 16 Gb 1600Mhz DDR3 NVIDIA GeForce GTX 675MX 1024 Mb - OSX El Capitan version 10.11.3
- MacBook Pro (Retina 13-Inch, 2015) 2.7 Ghz Intel Core i5 RAM 8 Gb 1867 Mhz DDR3 Intel Iris Graphics 6100 1536 Mb
Basically, to use AD Impastoshop you need a 'modern' computer that runs your Photoshop smoothly without any trouble. To use it at it's best you need also a Wacom tablet or similar. Take that in mind because painting with many layers with effects could generate some kind of lag on machines without enough resources.
NOTE: For Photoshop CC (not 2014, 2015, 2017 & 2018) use the Impastoshop CC2017 zxp file with Adobe Extension Manager (AEM), for newer version use the Anastasiy’s Extension Manager http://install.anastasiy.com
