I just recieved a new (to me) M8 and now I have excuse to update my computer and processing/editing software.
I am not a big volume shooter, maybe 50 or so shots per week and prefer b&w over colour. I used NX with my D700 but have no experience with other programs. Not at all intimidated by a steep learning curve.
I am looking at possibly purchasing an iMAC 7 and would like any recommendations from users as to the best iMAC configuration and editing program - CS5, Capture One, Lightroom, Aperture etc. Adobe are offering students a substatial discount on CS5 which is enticing but only if the program warrants it over other the other choices. Currently using an older Dell (only 4mgs RAM) which may have to do for a while before I upgrade.
Thanks in advance for your comments/recommendations. I look forward to start posting images soon.
