Are you suggesting that some editing > processes are imaginary or surreal? I'm doing quick edits and viewing of files, as I pull them from cards. By 'real' (do note quote marks) I mean the sort of work I'd probably put into an image before doing a large print. I'm out in Colorado at the moment (currently in Leadville at 10,500 ft :-) and the laptop is great for sorting and burning CDs. It is also excellent for creating small jpegs of particularly pretty views to mail to friends back home, where I believe the weather is probably not so fine ;-)) >The 15inch G4 power book (platinum > edition) is exemplary for editing both B+W and colour images except that I > might be requiring to visit an optician. Very good, yes, but not compared to the setup in my nice comfy office back home. I also neglected to bring monitor calibration equipment with me... :-) bye for now Keith Cooper =============================================================== GO TO http://www.prodig.org for ~ GUIDELINES ~ un/SUBSCRIBING ~ ITEMS for SALE
