- HDD: 200 MB free disk space

System Requirements for Advanced Work
Work with large photographs and panoramas has especially high memory demands. We recommend having at least 1 GB of RAM on your computer.
For convenience, we also recommend a relatively high-performance processor. Zoner Photo Studio can take advantage of multi-core processors - if it detects multiple cores, it automatically divides up tasks and calculations among them.
For more convenient work, we also recommend a monitor resolution than the minimum given above.
