Hows your computer setup now?
What does it consist of?
What do you think would be best for photo editing (post-processing, stitching large panoramas)?
Why are macs better? (subjective)
Are you planning to upgrade soon? or buy a new one?
What are you planning to get?
Is your monitor calibrated?

For me, I think that lots of RAM is needed Smile

heeheee

basically..
ram is essential for your computer to run at maximum capacity ...
Macs are good ... cause they have alot of power...
but still ..
i dont like using them ...
probably from bad experiences with the iMacs ..

adam · Jul 30, 2004, 11:05

The iMacs in the maths computing labs probably give MACS a bad name. It makes people hate macs....

peter · Jul 30, 2004, 11:17

yes..
especially those evil one buttoned mouses ..

adam · Jul 30, 2004, 11:45

Haven't you seen the two buttoned mac? lolololol
They used have have Quake in the macs on the 1st floor of engineering building, but then Nathan removed it Sad

When I see the good macs, they are used for music-making or image-editing, like multimedia things.
Are they much better in that way?

AMD 2.4
40gb x 2
1g ram
Onboard sound
64 Nvidia
IIyama Vision master pro - calibrated by Spyder.

Macs? Pass.

P4 2.2
256 mb ram
80 gb HDD

I really oughta get more RAM.... hmmm, how to sell that one to the missus... Maybe I could convince her that if I get more RAM, I won't have to spend as much time on the computer.... hmmm.

***shuttertalk*** · Jul 30, 2004, 17:12

AMD 2.0
80G
512 MB Ram
Onboard GFX and sound (Nforce2)
17" LG monitor
Scanner, printer

That's my desktop, but it's mostly used by my wife, as I use my laptop (wireless) of the time. Heheh Smile

Sometimes the colours aren't quite right on the laptop though.

In terms of additional stuff, I was thinking of getting a graphics tablet...

adam · Jul 30, 2004, 20:11

For me, I don't use my desktop any much at all! Smile

I'm just like shuttertalk, tapping away wirelessly on my laptop Smile

And I agree abou the colours not being right, so I plugged in an external monitor for whenever I want to do colour-ful stuff. But even the monitor seems to have strange colours.

So my current setup:
Intel Pentium M 1.4GHz
60gb HDD
512mb RAM
12.1" display
Optical mouse with glowing blue scrollwheel
Educational mousepad
Onboard graphics and sound

peter · Jul 30, 2004, 21:23

me ..
AMD Athlon XP 1800+
40gb HDD
256mb RAM
Geforce 2 Graphics...
17" LG FLatron..

sometimes i calibrate with e-color...
but i dont see much difference with it ...

adam · Jul 30, 2004, 21:33

But do you see the differences when you print out and compare to your screen?

peter · Jul 30, 2004, 21:37

i should try printing one day ^_-

adam · Jul 30, 2004, 21:40

Let's try on the holidays.
I think that different places will print differently, like the colours they use and things like that Smile

So must, shop around?
I shall be getting DVD burner soon Smile

peter · Jul 30, 2004, 21:45

hah yeah ...
lets get a CD of photos aranged.
mabye our SOYA submission ..
then go and print it

adam · Jul 30, 2004, 21:53

That's a good idea, the SOYA submissions, since those are our 'nice pictures' it saves us from going through again to select Smile

How about next week?

peter · Jul 31, 2004, 09:36

haha
yeah ..
some time ..
we go sort our pics ^_-
