I grew up upon PCs… reorganizing autoexec.bat files to giveaway up mental recall as well as fool around video games. Throughout my life, I’ve been a Personal Computer man until we went to movie propagandize as well as satisfied whilst my classmates were branch out projects, we was troubleshooting. So we switched to a Mac for my work (photo / video) This was about 9 years ago.
While Macs have been not but problems, they unequivocally were doing better. The oneness of a components only authorised for a some-more fast height but motorist conflicts. In a work world, everywhere we go… each vital magazine, pattern studio, photographer (advertising / editorial), have been all regulating Macs.
Now people have been perplexing to remonstrate me which PCs have been only as great as Macs for Photoshop use. The evidence is which Macs have been radically PCs any way since of a Intel chips, etc…
I privately hold it’s a handling complement which creates many of a difference. Can any one give a ancillary evidence for Microsoft? Personally, I’d adore to set up a brand new Personal Computer which can hoop intensely perfectionist Photoshop work… (sometimes a singular picture can get up to a 1gb) But I’m disturbed about all integrating scrupulously since right away if a work upsurge has issues, lots of income is lost.
Color Profiling, Display Calibration, Printer calibration, as well as an fit as well as STABLE work upsurge from constraint to display (online or print) have been all we unequivocally caring about.
Any thoughts?
I’m a Mac user for over 7 years now, wow.. but I have to say, that they really are the best. Their powerbooks and Mac pro lines are designed for this field that you are speaking of.
I don’t like to say it, but it isn’t the PC or the Mac operating system. Yes a Mac is more stable and can run more smoothly than a PC but the programming and capability are the same. The argument is just that Mac will cost more. But it won’t if you are looking to match it with a PC. A good PC can run you over 3500 dollars…. and that might not even be enough, but it is a good start. Mac has designed and coupled with the best editing softwares in the world… Final Cut Pro, no explanation needed. But it is seamless with adobe’s programming as well.
I hope this helps.
Not Even Close.
I am sure you could build a PC. You could shop around and find all the best hardware and assemble the best PC, but (as you suspect) you are still going to install that good-for-nothing windows OS (vista or XP you pick) wrought with issues, bugs, crashes etc.
Why go to all the trouble when you can buy (even a low end mac) and get a better product that comes that way, no searching on your part, none of your precious time wasted.
I agree, most of it comes down to the OS.
I still have a macbook g4 running OS X (Tiger) and recently I had over 90% of the hard drive filled, unbeknownst to me. The computer ran right along, no slower, no crashes, no bugs. Try filling the harddrive on a PC running Windows and see if you can do anything. I also love tuning on my mac and not getting weird errors (missing .dll files etc).
Windows sux!
yeah pcs rock
I use Creative Suite programs on a daily basis, PC at work, Mac at home. The only advantage Mac has over the PC (for me) is that I know all the shortcuts.
Also, I prefer Final Cut Pro over Premiere.
Adobe is just as integrated and functional on a PC. Microsoft has come a long way in the past 9 years. The best thing about owning a PC (and I own a PC and mac) is that you can fully configure your hardware. You can build a must faster machine for cheaper that will run photoshop faster than on any mac. The only problem is that you have to use Vista but it’s not nearly as bad as popular culture makes it out to be.
First off, I never used a Mac. I wouldn’t mind owning one, (can’t afford it) but if I ever bought a mac I would still use a PC.
Personally I think if one has all the requirements in their PC to run (for example) Photoshop, then a PC can handle the photos you want to edit.
I use Photoshop pretty much daily. I’m also using Lightroom and Dreamweaver. (at times using all 3 at once) My computer has never shut down, or ran slowly to where I take notice to it.
blue or red, yellow or orange?
i use a mac at the studio and have a PC at home, they are tools nothing more nothing less, personally i dont care more for one or the other – im more mature than that – the 92dpi on the mac is a slight advantage and im sure there is a slight advantage somewhere to the PC, who cares they both do the same thing…….
