[QUOTE="DaveKoontz, post: 2717, member: 315"] I have both a MacPro (G5) and the MacBook Pro. The G5 is used almost exclusively for editing and storage of my images. I currently have, and use three internal drives with capacity of just under three TBs. I store NEF in one drive, and the JPEGs in another... kind of a cold storage file, and a Work in Process/active file. I initially upload onto the desktop and then import into Aperture for minor editing, cropping and conversion to JPEG. The images are held in the Aperture Library (additional storage of NEF files). If I want to further "play" with the images I then download to PhotoShop Elements 6. The latter is an excellent package and seems to satisfy any of my editing needs. I will often use my MacBook Pro both in the field as well as the studio to help refine my shots. To help with this I use Nikon's Camera Control an excellent way to validate your camera's set-up, adjust and preview potential results of the shoot. A couple of issues to overcome ... first you will need a 'shroud' to help block the light. Second, battery life is short so make sure that you use sparingly until you are confident in the set-up. Oh, and you will have some initial issue with the USB/Tether cable being so short .... [/QUOTE]
