How you guys do it? I havea hp spectre xt, when I bought it the screen was pretty disapointing. YEsterday I took a book of photos I liked and searched for the same photos on the internet and then tweaked the graphic card to make what my eyes see like the most similar to the colors in the book, maybe that is a simple and decent way to calibrate my screen what do you think? hi,

A very interesting article on switching from MAC to WIN from a 'serious' photography pov. A must read imho.

Key excerpt from the article:
"This left me with few choices so I did the unthinkable for me."

Love my G5. fits great in my hand and takes great pics. However, some of my lenses are adapted, my favorite being the Kiron 105 for macro work. I find that with the G5 and Kiron I can hand hold at 1:2 macro and get sharp pics about half of the time but at 1:1 macro I must use a tripod. Since most of my shots are walk-around I don't have the time or desire to setup a tripod.

I am expecting that the EM5 with 5 axis IBIS will help me with my walk-around macro shots plus with my other adapted lens. Also, when it is misting or a light rain my G5 stays in my bag. Now I can still take pics with the EM5 and my olympus 12-50.

Anyone know any quick reference guides or how to guides that will help me setup my EM5? I have been shooting since my first Yashica film camera when I was in Vietnam. Eventually migrated through several film and digitals and loved the Nikon D5100. But once I got the EPL1 I sold my Nikon and AFD lenses for the joy of m4/3. I like to keep it simple so only use about 10% of the options (if that much) so any suggestions on simple use setups will be appreciated.

I'm thinking in buying the dell XPS with the following specs:

-Intel Core 5 third generation
-Windows 8, 64bit
-HD LED monitor (1080p) 13.3 inch
-8 GB SDRAM DDR3 at 1600 MHz
-SSD of 256GB
-Intel® HD 4000


I'm just starting in photography and haven't done my first photo editing, but also I'm an avid backpacker. Usually I last 2 weeks, 1 months, 4 months backpacking.

I had this laptop today in my hands and it seemed very light weight. Just perfect for my trip

But do you think it is a decent option for photo edition? ]]> Hardware cuervo.taylor http://www.mu-43.com/f73/dell-xps-portable-photo-editing-46737/ http://www.mu-43.com/f73/i-need-buy-laptop-photo-processing-but-i-need-go-light-i-m-backpacking-46601/ Wed, 22 May 2013 00:41:24 GMT Hi all,

I have been backpacking for a while and I think it is time to buy a light weight laptop that has a decent performance for photo processing what would you recommend me?

I welcome Windows as well as Mac's. (But I think a MacBook Pro is too heavy...is what I have right now and I want to see if I can get something decent but not so heavy) ]]> Hardware cuervo.taylor http://www.mu-43.com/f73/i-need-buy-laptop-photo-processing-but-i-need-go-light-i-m-backpacking-46601/
