I will sheepishly admit that this post has been in my drafts folder for over a year. Â Yikes! Â Once wedding season kicked into high gear, other things took precedent, so I’m playing catch up on some blog posts that I want to share with clients and photographers.
You may remember that last week I did a bit of a recap of how my 101 in 1001Â goal adventure is going. Â One of the things I realized is that while I’m busting through the list pretty fast, I’m not so great at blogging about how and when I’ve accomplished these goals! Â So today’s post is my first effort at jumping back in…and obviously, that means backtracking a bit.
Last spring, I FINALLY upgraded to a new computer, a 27 inch iMac! Â Now I can check goal #56 off my list: Replace my laptop with a desktop computer, more suitable for photo editing. Woohoo!
I’m a Mac-lover at heart, so the choice was a no-brainer for me. Â I knew I’d need the extra screen real estate for editing, so I opted for the larger 27 inch screen. Â I choose the fastest one I could get, and upgraded the RAM myself to save some money. Â Apple is notorious for overcharging for upgrading RAM, so going the DIY-route can save you a good chunk of change.
So far, I looooooooove it!  Working in Lightroom and Photoshop is so much faster than my 6 year-old ancient laptop, so I can deliver photos from weddings and senior sessions about twice as fast as I used to.  It’s pretty wonderful!
