I'm just wondering if some of you have an iMac with the fushion drive. I know file copies, imports, start up and similar tasks will be quicker, but does it help with basic photo editing much?

Thanks in advance.

I'm afraid it doesn't. That addition of NAND is made for maintaing the data needed for faster booting and similar (general) tasks (like the M$ Window$'s "superfetch"). Once you've started the system (any Mac OS) and launched the application (photo$hop, for example), the relevant components of the software "reside" in system memory, thus the speed of the process(es) greatly depends on the efficiency of the CPU/GPU plus RAM.
