Hello, All,
I'm thinking of purchasing a 15" MacBook Pro with 2 gigabytes of RAM and a 120 gigabyte internal drive. I have some questions:
1) Running photoshop and Adobe Camera Raw (in emulation, for now, I suppose), how fast (how many seconds does it take) does it open a RAW file from a 1Ds Mark 2? How fast does it convert it?
2) Does matte or glossy make much difference? (In photographic prints, it seems like glossy is more reflective and higher contrast. I tend to prefer matte for prints, despite the slightly lower contrast and slightly lower apparent resolution, because the reflections of glossy are just too problematic for viewing prints with a lot of dark areas. Is it similar with screens to prints?) Which screen type do you prefer, and why?
I am sure that I will have a lot of other questions. Until then, please feel welcome to interject anything else you feel is relevant.
Thank you.
