I'm thinking of doing this and installing an older OS (probably Mavericks) so I can use Filemaker Pro as the version I have is compromised (for want of a better word - it runs but not properly) on Sierra and High Sierra.

It's not difficult to install a separate OS and it just requires a restart when you want to use it. If you are only using Nik occasionally, then you would almost certainly get better performance running a proper native MacOS on a separate partition or drive. Perhaps it might work if you allow Parallels to use loads of RAM but that would defeat the purpose of running it in the first place. If from a large MP camera, then I would not even entertain the thought.ĮDIT: this is assuming you have other apps open on the main MacOS. Performance will also depend on what image files you are processing.

It's one thing running an old version of Elements like Mark and another running full Photoshop which does need plenty of RAM for effective performance.
I think you could run into memory (RAM) problems using full Photoshop on Parallels (morevover using the Nik plugin which will need even more memory). I will learn to use apps and programmes by necessity but I am not very technically minded. Certainly it is an option and food for thoughts but do you think you can run Windows and two Mac OSs?

So I am well aware of Parallels’ seamless integration with Mac OS, but it never occurred to me that you can also use Parallels to run another Mac OS too. Since I have not upgraded Parallels to a later version for the fear that I may not be able to use the above mentioned programmes any longer as Paralles stopped support XP. When I migrated from PC to Mac in 2013, I also bought Parallels Version 8 mainly to run my very old Quicken (2004) and Quickbook Pro 2003, both of which run on Windows XP. All my files are stored in the Mac filing system. I've been very impressed with Parallels and use it everyday to access my old Windows programs (MS Office, MS Money and Breezebrowser) inside a VM on my Mac which is running High Sierra. Coherence mode allows seamless swapping between windows that are open in both systems at the same time. Parallels is dead easy to use, there's almost nothing to set up, the wizards do everything for you. Parallels will allow creation of Mac OS Virtual Machines running on a Mac OS. The two operating systems are running at the same time, no need to reboot, no need for partitioning. folders appear as networked drives inside Windows 7. File transfer between the two OS is seamless.
I still use this setup today for other programs although I now have Mac PS CC. I've run PSE inside a Windows 7 Virtual Machine running under Mac High Sierra which was set up using Parallels. But how practical & easy is it to jump between two operating systems?įor example, you work on an image in PS with High Sierra and reopen it in PS with Sierra in order to put it through NIK Collection, then bring it back to High Sierra? Is it fairly simple straight forward? Or is it very cumbersome process?Īny advice or experience will be very much appreciated. Someone suggested me that I can run two operating systems (with a partition). I don't use NIK Collection all the time but I use it in certain circumstances.

It is inevitable that I will have to upgrade to High Sierra at some point so I want to be prepared. Therefore any recent experience in this matter will be valuable to me. I am aware that my question is not going to be of any interest to most people, but I am certain that amongst some of the regular people in the forum, NIK collection is a important part of their workflow. Does PS CS6 still crash when you use NIK plugins with High Sierra?
