What Mac would be best for professional photo processing?
Tuesday, April 17, 2007 / Hardware, Intel Macs
Thinking to replace my G4 when the next edition of Adobe Photoshop comes out. What is your recommendation for configuration of a Mac used only for professional photo processing? Printing with an Epson 7800.
Believe it or not, an iMac would be the right choice for you. Although you are a pro user, current iMacs have plenty of power and quality screens. The 24″ iMac would be the best solution for your particular needs because the larger screen size will help you when working with large-format printing. A 20″ iMac would also work but you would want to consider adding an Apple 20″ display to extend your desktop. A $19.99 adapter will let you add any DVI display to an Intel iMac and increase your desktop. If you already have a good display, then you may just want to get the 20″ iMac and use it with your current display.
Hope you like it!
