Same here; the duplicate always arrives way before any replies.  It's a glitch 
that doesn't particularly bother me but, if generic, might be problematic for 
Rick in other areas.

I take it California is free of such nonsense?

Re: OT Laptops and photo editing

[Doug Brewer]

I recently ran into the same set of decisions, having decided that my 
2012 MBP was too decrepit to handle things as well as it used to, and I 
needed something for travel and location work that could handle some 
culling and light editing until I could get the files back home to my 
workhorse computer.


Guess I should point out that I have never particularly liked editing 
photos on a laptop, unless it was at home and hooked up to decent 
monitors, so I dragged my feet for quite some time on the decision 
because the home setup was already sorted, my venerable 2009 Cheese 
Grater Mac Pro moved to a support role for an M1 Max Mac Studio, running 
two color matched 24" monitors for the heavy lifting and a third display 
for email, browsing, etc.


So last week I grabbed up an M2 iPad Pro for the road work. It has 
enough screen space for such, and I can get some of the stuff done with 
the Apple Pencil before I get back home to my tablet and pen and more 
serious work.


to your questions:

like Godders said, RAM is handled differently on the new rigs, so the 
answer isn't always more like it used to be, but still more than 8GB 
would be better.


M2 over M1 is "it depends."

I never do serious photo work without calibrated monitors, and though 
laptop screens have gotten better regarding color and holding a 
calibration, I still have a prejudice against them, so I'd look into 
interfacing whatever you get with either your iMac screen or finding 
another monitor to hook up. And yes, a Spyder or other tool.


Figure out which ports you need.

See above regarding monitors.

I haven't used a mouse in ages, since I got a Wacom tablet. My ancient 
Apple Wireless keyboard still works.

Re: OT Laptops and photo editing

[Godfrey DiGiorgi]

The iPad Pro is my most used computer. It handles anything I need with respect 
to email, banking, internet usage, word processing, et cetera. It does a fair 
job with image editing as well, using Photos with RAW Power, SnapSeed, and 
Affinity Photo. The keyboard folio case provides an excellent keyboard and 
folds up around it, protecting the Pad as well. The 11" diagonal model has a 
super-crisp and easy to see screen, and you can use external keyboards, 
pointing devices, and even displays with it (including wired ones using the 
appropriate adapter). The 11" inch model is also just the right size to fit 
easily in most any of my camera carrying bags other than the very smallest. 

My primary use of the desktop system is to run Lightroom and other legacy 
applications that I have way too much data and information invested in to want 
to migrate to anything else unless I absolutely have to. :)

LBA, of a sort

[Larry Colen]

Yesterday afternoon a friend posted to facebook that the local Goodwill had 
several “big telescopes”. 

Long story short a Celestron 127EQ followed me home and my wallet was $27 
lighter.

https://photos.app.goo.gl/7UYbofECKNpLnG3e6

It’s rated at 1000mm f/8 because it has a 2x Barlow, otherwise it would be a 
500/4.

It doesn’t have an eyepiece, but I already owned a T-2 to K mount adapter, just 
in case a stray telescope ever followed me home, I wanted to be prepared.  It’s 
also missing a counterweight, and a couple other minor bits.  

I tried a quick test on some of the neighbor’s trees, I’m not thrilled with the 
image quality, especially around the edges, it’s too cloudy to really do any 
tests at night. It also isn’t thrilled with having the weight of the K-3 
hanging off of it, the 2-second delay is mandatory. My K-3 III is supposed to 
arrive tomorrow, and it’ll be interesting to see how it works.  To complicate 
matters, a week from tomorrow my job is moving from San Jose to Riverside, and 
I’m going to be way too busy to do much of anything.

But for under $30, I’m not going to complain.

Re: OT Laptops and photo editing

[Larry Colen]

This is an interesting thread, thanks for starting it.

There’s a company in my area that sells used macs, I recently upgraded my 2009 
mac pro to a 2015 trashcan, and now have a 2015 15” MBP for my mobile photo 
needs and when I was given a broken 2016 13”, I traded it for a 2015 13”.  
Long story short, IMHO if you are buying used, 2015 is the sweet spot of price, 
performance and upgradeability.  After that, things started getting soldered 
down.  

In general, processor needs (and performance) have not increased nearly as much 
as RAM and drive requirements.  Also, it seems that the big advantage of Apple 
silicon is with RAM on chip, bus speeds are that much higher. On top of that, I 
have not seen any indication that camera raw files are going to be getting any 
smaller, whether or not someone needs a 75MP raw file to post a 1920x1080 JPEG 
on facebook.  

In short, I agree with Ralf, prioritize RAM (and drive space) over processor 
speed.

As to screen size, I briefly had a 13” MBP a few years back that I tried to use 
for processing.  I returned it after my first photo trip, it was just too small 
to be useful, and that was before my eyesight took a sharp decline.  As to 
whether to get an MBP or a mini, you can use a laptop as a desktop machine a 
lot easier than you can use a desktop machine on the road.  Every so often I’ll 
do a photo gig on the road when I want to at least look at things, and likely 
do some processing, and it really helps to own at least one laptop that is able 
to handle that.  

FWIW, my work setup is a laptop with external keyboard and two desktop 
monitors, and in the office I treat the laptop like a desktop machine.

My home photo setup is two 2560x1440 displays, one horizontal, one vertical.  I 
think that my next setup is going to be a single, large (36”?) 3840x2160 (quad 
HD basically) display.  If you pair that with an open laptop display that would 
be a great combination, but you don’t even need the second display unless you 
want to put all of your menus over on that.

Re: OT Laptops and photo editing

[Bob W PDML]

I do more or less everything on my iPad and iPhone, including banking, email, 
Lightroom photo editing, walking and cycle route planning etc etc. I have a M1 
Mac mini with a trackpad and Magic Keyboard, but rarely use it and I just 
connect it my TV when I do use it.

However, I’m not as heavily into photo editing as many people, and being 
colourblind I don’t rely on my colour vision for anything, so I don’t really 
even need a calibrated monitor.

Thanks for the comments Godders, I am also thinking of upgrading my ipad
from the current mini vers 2 i think it is or the macbook. The desktop is
fine n=but mostly uses the computer for emails, photo edits and some social

My needs may be better served with a decent current ipad instead??

Re: OT Laptops and photo editing

[Godfrey DiGiorgi]

Can't answer all of your questions, but I'd go for an Apple silicon machine 
nowadays … it's where the future is headed in Apple equipment. I'm planning to 
upgrade both my Mac mini (2018 3.2Ghz Intel 6-core i7) and my iPad Pro 11" 
(2017) to latest generation M1/M2 equipped models later this year. 

- The M series CPUs utilize RAM differently from the Intel generation systems 
and are more efficient about it, but for any serious photographic work I'd want 
either the 16 or 32 Gbyte RAM models anyway. It lends more future-proofing to 
the setup. 

- The M2 is a higher performance chip. Better or worse is hard to evaluate 
because it depends upon the context of measurement. 

- If you want to do managed color, yes you need a tool to calibrate and profile 
the display. 

- battery … yeah a laptop has one. ??? I'd never depend on battery life for 
doing serious photographic work. 

- amount of ports and an sd card slot … I haven't looked yet, but look and see 
that what you're interested has the number of ports and slots you need before 
buying. 

- An iMac can be used as an external display, but it depends on year of 
manufacture, what hardware features your specific iMac has, and what version of 
macOS it has on it. This will take research, you might want to discuss it with 
your service provider. 

- I, personally, want a 27" display for my photographic work. I can work on 
smaller screens for quick stuff but I want the screen real estate to handle 
having all the various palettes and controls of Lightroom or other image 
processing software open and instantly available when I'm doing anything 
serious. I don't like to use multiple displays simultaneously, I just want one 
big display. 

- Your existing keyboard and mouse should work fine. I've had the same Magic 
Keyboard and Magic Trackpad through two-three system generations already, no 
reason a Magic Mouse would be different. Of course, using a mouse, you give up 
many of the touch-based control capabilities of a trackpad, but that's up to 
you. I stopped using a mouse more than a decade ago. 

I ran with a MacBook Pro as one of my personal computers, and another as my 
work computer for the last five years of my career at Apple. But I never used 
my personal computer anywhere but on my desk since all of my mobile computing 
needs were better served with the lighter, smaller iPads starting about 2010. 
As a result, I sold the last MacBook Pro I owned personally to a friend, and 
when I upgraded my 2012 Mac mini, I bought a 2018 Mac mini. The performance 
difference between the two mini systems is astounding … and the performance 
difference between the 2018 mini and the latest M2 mini is even greater. I 
could not see the point of buying a laptop since I never carry one anywhere 
anymore.

Don't know if it's just me but, for the last couple of weeks, I've been getting

Thanks John

I replaced my magic mouse and keyboard a few years back the mouse is fine
with El Capitan but the cordless rechargeable keyboard would not
communicate with the computer but it is plugged in, my hope is that the
backward compatibility is there.

Re: OT Laptops and photo editing

[John Sessoms]

If your eyesight has done like mine as I've gotten older, you'll want 
the bigger screen of the 14".


According to a quick Google the 14" MacBook Pro (14-inch 2023) has 3 
"Thunderbolt 4 (USB-C) ports" and a HDMI port.


https://support.apple.com/guide/macbook-pro/use-an-external-display-apd8cdd74f57/mac

AND - these external keyboards/mice are compatible with it:

Re: Two PESOs: GM Diesels with sound

I have a 65 Martin D12-20 & 4 Rickenbacker 12-strings.

Covid came along and CANCELED my weekly folk music circle, and now I've 
got BAD arthritis in my left hand and haven't been able to play for a while.

Which reminds me of the typical response of a German who doesn't play
any instrument and who, when asked, will claim he plays the grammophone.

Over here, a recorder is either a tape or cassette recorder and your
instrument is a 'Blockfloete', literally a block flute.

M1 is fine. Invest the difference in more RAM.

Re: Two PESOs: GM Diesels with sound

[John Sessoms]

Autoplay with no warning can be a real pain - especially when it's done 
by some dolt who doesn't know any better than to run the gain to max and 
damn the distortion.


I've lost more than one keyboard to coffee because of that.

OTOH, if you are going to include a link to the sound, it should be 
right under the photo like a caption so you don't have to scroll down 
excessively. Also make the audio link explicit:


... "Click Here to Hear -->" ... or some such

I liked the photos & the audio definitely sounded like diesel locomotives.

...which leads me to the conclusion that a high proportion of

Years ago, I published a few photos on my own site where the sound
playback started automatically and I almost got lynched for that.

The camera worked just fine with the small dedicated flash that came

My fall back position today was the K1 and D FA* 85/1.4, so it's not

Good day all

It looks like i;ll be getting some goven=rnmetn money soon and am thinking
of upgrading, but keeping, my 2010 iMac 21,5" desktop. It works well enough
but because i cant upgrade the OS to stay current and also can't upgrade
some programs i use and like, like PS and Lightroom,  i'm considering
making a move to a macbook pro, either the 13
" or the 14" M1 or M2 chip

Just looking for comments good or bad from those that are using said
machine(s) for LR and PS. -Is the screen big enough, 13" or 14"
-is 8gig ram enough
-is M2 better over M1 chip
-screen colour ie do you need a spyder wset up
-battery life
-amount of ports and a sd card slot
-could my imac be used as an extended monitor?
-can i use my keyboard and magic mouse, i don't like track pads

If i think of anything else i;; add it.

We have a company not far that sells and services nothing but Macs so i'll
probably deal with them
