Raw file conversion to JPEG — 150-megapixel PhaseOne IQ4 raw

The 2022 MacBook Pro M2 Max easily beats even the 28-core 2019 Mac Pro, and leaves the 2019 iMac 5K far behind... amazing performance!

NOTE: Adobe has improved raw file conversion considerably since early 2022 when these tests were run. Speed likely substantially higher for all machines with Photoshop CC 2022 v23.4.1 or later.
