Probably not much difference at all with Photoshop. An M2 Max will be as good or better on benchmark tests than the base M3. The base M3 will be better than the base M2 on those tests.


On processor intensive tasks (Photoshop isn’t, but RAW image batch conversion is), the Pro is a better choice because of the fan cooling that the Air doesn’t have.
