Which Mac for Photoshop/Lightroom?

Written by iAPX on May 15th, 2009

The answer is obvious, if you are rich, just take the fastest MacPro with a bunch of disk and a handful of memory extension, and you’ll be ready for anything :-)

The not-so-obvious answer is for the rest of us, that count money but want fast and efficient computer able to handle a big photo session at-once, using Lightroom and/or Photoshop. And for that matter, I took a look at MacWorld’s SpeedMark 5 and Adobe CS results, to draw some conclusions:

- The PowerPC is dead: even a PowerMac Quad 4×2.5Ghz lag largely behind an actual 2×2.0Ghz Mac Mini!

- Any actual iMac will give you same or better performance on CS than the original MacPro 4×2.66ghz!

- The 2×2.93Ghz iMac is 25% faster than the 2×2.66Ghz albeit going to the 2×3.06Ghz offers just 5% benefit (for 22% more money!!!)

- Going to MacPro will give you 10% to 20% better performance than a 24″ 2×2.93Ghz iMac!

The not-so-obvious answer for the rest of us is to invest in a 24″ 2×2.93Ghz iMac ($1799 USD) w/ 4GB RAM and to save money to be able to upgrade it to 8GB RAM if needed, or invest in lenses, digital SLR, …

Sorting & Developping

Written by iAPX on April 25th, 2009

I did a great photo shoot last sunday, nude pics of a beautiful woman, not nude as xXx but nude as graceful…

That was my first real nude photo-shoot, it needs time and confidence to have both relaxed, forgetting nudity, just playing and taking good shoots (I am happy and proud to have some), to feel at ease, and finally to go through this nudity to come back to her personality. Nude, but her not it’s body.

Even Marylin Monroe do nude photos, it’s nothing perverse or pornographic, it’s like unressing someone to it’s soul… You have to uncover your’s too…

But the point is that for a 2 hours shoot session, this is at least twice the time to sort pictures and then develop using Lightroom to go from digital files to intimate prints…

I was quiting my Web developer job to enter a big Internet filesharing company, as their CTO. There was too much to do to take pictures or to write about it. I apologize.

Soon some new pictures and news about the SLR products
