  • Cool camera for sure. However... 5.6 for underwater? Can't imagine those shots will turn out well. The 10mm lens however sounds promising. Could be a great camera... I'd certainly buy one if the...

  • Created discussions Fuji X100 Firmware??
    I read something about a major firmware update to the x100. Just rumors? Curious.
  • another easy way to grab a quick screen grab is hitting command shift and 4. This let's you grab whatever you want off screen and will save a copy to your desktop in .png format. Quick and dirty...
  • use a slower shutter speed to show more prop blur
  • Can't comment on the air with regards to performance but I can on screen size. If you are looking to use something like light room I think the smaller screens would get old to work on all the time....
  • The smart preview in LR5 seems to be a big game changer. Curious if anyone out there is using a top of the line air with LR, specifically editing/sorting, etc on an air. Curious how quickly it runs...
  • Thanks for the info. Question about ctrl-s command. Do you need to do this in order to get the keywords/metadata to embed into the file? Or all changes? Main reason for building and exporting...
  • I am somewhat new to LR and very new to LR5 and smart previews. I've watched a number of training videos and searched for additional information but still have a few questions. I have a very large...
  • Yes, I was hoping to have a dedicated ssd drive for just the catalog. Thinking that 'maybe' if it didn't have to spin, accessing previews and such would be much faster than working from the imac's...
  • Created discussions LR 5 and external SSD??
    I have an imac i7  2.8 GHZ with 8 gb of ram. Curious if I were to buy a SSD external drive and run my LR catalog from that if it would run faster. Or, if I am subject to my computers overall...
  • Created discussions Light Room question/help
    Trying to get going with LR. Importing 200,000 images into a caltalog. It made it about 1/2 way through overnight and now it's not making any progress....  Not sure what to do.
  • Created discussions Installing SSD to imac i7?
    Trying to figure out if I am able to replace my i7 27" imac drive with an SSD drive and if that would make a huge improvement in general speed. thanks
  • thanks. at this point not worth selling it.
  • starrting to be inclined to agree with not doing the upgrade and either just sucking it up or waiting until I "really" need to upgrade the laptop.  Out of curiosity. What do you think I could get...
  • Thanks all for the info. I want at least the same size 500gb drive and if possible, a bigger drive for when I travel for a job. As for the cost of upgrade/worth it? Not much out there I could buy...
  • Replied in SSD
    I could. I'd be spending more than I would by installing an ssd to my 17" which other than not running as fast as I'd like is perfectly fine. When I do buy a new laptop, I will drop the 3-4K and...
  • Replied in SSD
    I could but I probably burn about 200 dvd's a year for various clients. Not sure it would be cost effective.
  • Replied in SSD
    Thanks for the info. Seems like a worthy upgrade. Not in the market for spending upwards of $3,500 for a new MBP and they don't even make the 17" anymore which I prefer.  Yeah, I don't understand...
  • Replied in SSD
    Thanks for the info. Called two mac stores and they didn't even know what I was talking about... I'm not dying to spend $1,000.00 but feel that spending up to that is not out of the question if it...
  • Created discussions MBP SSD Upgrade question
    Sorry if this has been covered but I am trying to find out if replacing my current hard drive in my 17" mbp with a new SSD is possible and if it would be a significant bump in operational...
