Mac vs PC, Lightroom vs Photoshop - Keep Shooting! Monday

GIMP is not a bad image editor. Not as good as Photoshop but its a very good free program.

MacBook Pros start at like $1300. Nowhere close to $3000. And yes, a $1300 MacBook Pro will do fine for Lightroom/Photoshop.

for the new ones that I would by they are over 3k.

lightroom is bridge but all grown up...thats like comparing a go cart with a BMW.

thanks

You can download all of Adobe's CS2 software for free right now on their website check it out!

No you can't that was a glitch...google it.

ya i spent $2500 on mine about a year and a half ago and that's with student discount!

Are you still shooting with nikon d3s or d4? The stuff Cannon is putting out these days is much better. 1dx is in a different league than d4! Would you consider jumping ship since there is a significant difference in performance?

why would you say 1dx is batter?

I tried to send you a PM message but I would not let me do so. I need help with focus, I made a vid but I cant do a vid response. Can you help me please? Thanks

Greg, I want to thank you so much for choosing my photo (the infrared lake shot) as one of the top three. It was very exciting to see the email, scroll down and see my photo there. Then to see the your video with it included made my day. Your website is great, the forum is fun. I appreciate all that you teach. My learning never ends. Again thank you. Craig

Love the new intro

Last week I forgot to ask you what you think about DVD backup. Is it a solution as a secondary backup? I'm also thinking about using online services as a secondary backup, but the prices for now are way too high.

Your intro would be better if you were Air Guitaring the entire time! PLEASE DO IT

This assignment sucks! My photo was not chosen :) Just kidding, I really loved taking participation in it and the chosen photos were really good, a lot to learn from them. Looking forward to new assignment, can you maybe put some your examples on the forum like last time?

a 50mm is not the worst lens for headshots...you have to be carefull with those statements, some might get confused...

I am downloading it as we speak. I will send you the link.

Well it wont' let me send you a message. But search for it and you will find the Adobe page complete with serial codes for all the CS2 software. For PC and MAC.

Congrats, nice photo !

Hey Greg... I have to say I love that first image by Jon... hehe! Thanks heaps for choosing that one. It was taken in Western Australia, in fact right here is where I was standing looking East: -31.695633, 116.036785 (or -31° 41' 44.28", +116° 2' 12.43"). What pleases me is that I deliberately walked to this spot with this assignment in mind. Thanks again Greg! The other images were also fantastic - can't argue with your choices!

Hey what you are using for your video ?? What camera sharp !! Nice informative info

Nice shirt! Where can I get one made like that for my company? Great video, I'm enjoying the Monday videos

Greg, have you ever used Aperture 3? I'm thinkings about switching to Lightroom but I'm not really sure it's worth the upgrade since Aperture does pretty much everything I need right now! What would the advantages be?

If you send me an email I can put you in touch with my supplier.

I haven't, but I suggest downloading the trial and see if you like it better.

Nikon D3s, Nikkor 70-200 2.8 lens, Premiere 5 for editing.

Not the worst, but its still terrible. See my earlier video.

Dude thats an awesome idea! TOTALLY going to do it!

I will add this question to next week's video, DVD takes way too long and isn't very efficient $money per GB.

You can get Photoshop using a subscription now - $20 a month and it comes with Lightroom!

Or you can use GIMP for free - it's not as feature packed as Photoshop, but you can do a lot and work with layers for free.

Nice!

I use and own both, 100% prefer the PC. Its faster, easier to use and Windows 7 has a much better UI/multitasking system for the user. I do know what I'm posting about...

Wow typical fanboy stance. I've tried and use both, Windows is MUCH easier AND faster. Maybe you should read up on the article by Lifehacker comparing the two taskbars, Windows was the clear winner. Oh and workflow when working with Adobe programs is the exact same on both platforms, the applications are identical!

fanboy tears are truly the best. Gotta love people that believe hype over facts. It is interesting that you note sports photographers, since about 90% of them are jpeg shooters that don't edit pics at all beyond cropping (even then, they don't bother doing that themselves). "Using any standard of comparison the PC. . is inferior both technically and user wise." This line is the funniest thing I've seen this year, thank you for that.

When people don't know how to use the dock on osX, Windows then looks to be easier. The problem is that a lot of windows users use osx the same way as they use windows. which of course, equals the experience. they won't see the difference in the power of drag and drop on osx which is vastly superior. I guess education is the only recourse.

Lol, the guy needs to chill out, its a freaking computer for goodness sake. And yes MACs are way overpriced, same i7 CPU for double the price. I can build a Windows/Linux PC way cheaper.

Greg Air Guitaring ? can't wait to see that ! lol !

hahaha how IGNORANT CAN YOU BE? If that is the case why does Adobe ship more copies of Photoshop for the pc than for the mac?

What do you reccommend for a beginner? I have a D5200 but only am using an ipad until I get a computer again down the road. Any good app recommendations? I have filterstorm pro but not sure it is the best option. Thanks! Love the videos. making this process much easier.

Neither is faster nor easier than the other. Speed depends on the specs of the computer itself plus the OS used. Easier? Well, that depends what you're more comfortable with and used to. You're both wrong.

you make it sound like it's a good deal. You're nuts.

Hey this was posted on my birthday, but I found this video because it seems like I keep hearing that "Mac is the graphic design and photography standard." I am a heavy PC and Android user, I do believe you should have to may extra for the same hardware but different OS name "I can always run a virtual machine if that is the case" but I love PCs for the fact you can get all the best hardware for hundreds of dollar cheap but still I feel like there is peer pressure to get a Mac....=/

Mac machines have a limit a PC dont and with the cost of the ultimate Mac mashine you can make a monster PC that will be capable to emulate a Mac in a Virtual machine xD

why would you pay for photoshop  torrents 4tw

what you think off 17 Asus G75vw ds73 for photo editing

Does your neck hurt while facing like that?

I clicked this video thinking you were Abraham from The Walking Dead
