I'm going to make a purchase for a 15" Powerbook, 1GHz with 256MB ram that I'll upgrade to 768MB. With PCs, I've used them for so long that I know what to look for in a purchase, what software to get, etc. This is not the case with Mac, and I have several questions before I will go and make the purchase.
This laptop will be used for several purposes: 1. Photoshop editing when i'm not in the office. (happens a lot) 2. Presentation of photos to clients 3. Also considering the possibility of tethered shooting with the laptop, but I haven't find a software that works really well for my D1x. (i.e: like Phase One's) Now the questions: 1. What is a good ACDSee like program for the Macintosh? This program is crucial to my workflow. I'm experimenting with Extensis Portfolio at the moment, which seems like a decent software to use, though ACDSee is still better. 2. Nikon Digital shooting people, what program do you use for the raw workflow? I use Bibble in the PC, but the Mac version sucks just the same. I thought the only other choice is Nikon Capture or Capture One. But Capture One for Mac only support Canon 1d cameras it seems. Does Adobe's Raw allow tethered shooting? 3. Should I wait for the latest version of the OS? (panther??) How soon do you think it'll be before Powerbook comes equipped with these? Other than those questions, is there anything else that you guys can add to the to- know list? -------------------------------------------------------------------- mail2web - Check your email from the web at http://mail2web.com/ . =============================================================== GO TO http://www.prodig.org for ~ GUIDELINES ~ un/SUBSCRIBING ~ ITEMS for SALE
