I use both PC (Win-XT) and Mac Pro, each well endowed, and each are just fine. We use Macs primarily for image processing because I like the scripting and the underlying OS better. No big deal to most users of PS.

There is one subtle difference between the Mac and WinDoze version: on the Mac you can show/hide the Application Frame so that Adobe products are more Apple-Like in visual presentation. I find it a bit confusing so I leave it off. My wife is a pre-press expert (and designer) and they use Macs exclusively only because they _started_ with Macs so long ago. Her printer uses PCs. They get along just fine. (It's all color by the numbers for them.)

It does not matter if you use MAC or windblows, just personal preference.

(Sometimes I wish Chris Cox would drop in here with his characteristic smashing replies and advice.)

One more difference between PC and Mac for PS, and it has to do with the OS - In Windows/PC you can open an image using a url. Not so on the Mac. Try it in Photoshop Windows. In the open dialog, type: http://www.digoliardi.net/tmp.jpg No big deal. One can also use the command line in Windows/PC to execute a droplet with arguments (the file path,filename), although I don't do that anymore. |
