Procyon® Photo Editing Benchmark
Benchmark PC and Mac performance with Adobe® applications
The Procyon photo editing benchmark from UL Solutions uses real-world applications to test performance. This multi-platform benchmark measures Windows PC and Apple Mac computer performance using Adobe® Lightroom® Classic and Adobe® Photoshop® in a typical photo editing workflow that includes batch processing and image retouching.
The Procyon photo editing benchmark starts by importing Digital Negative (DNG) image files into Adobe Lightroom Classic and applying various presets. Some images are cropped, straightened and modified. In the second part of the test, multiple edits and layer effects are applied to a photograph in Adobe Photoshop. The benchmark score is a measure of how quickly the PC performs these tasks.
The tests use the same workloads on PCs and macOS, and you can compare benchmark scores from Windows PCs and Apple Mac computers.
