The comp I plan to use it onhas aPentium Duo Core 2.6 gHz with 4gb of RAM. I also plan to update it to a quad core eventually. I think I should be ok right? Honestly most of those features you mentioned I have no idea what they were. I used photoshop CS3 in a class I took for half a year, so as of now I know the basic editing and layers stuff, but I'm a quick learner lol
