[QUOTE="johnwartjr, post: 5133, member: 2176"] Computers are as addictive as cameras :) I've been thinking of upgrading for awhile, but every time I get some extra funds to work with, I put it into camera gear and deal with the existing machines a little longer. My primary workstation is a Dell Latitude D620 laptop - 2 ghz core 2 duo proc, 4 GB RAM, 320 GB 7200 RPM SATA drive, Windows 7 Ultimate x64, LR3, CS5 I also have a desktop that I use sometimes, although it is a bit outdated. Dell Optiplex 620, 3 ghz dual core processor, 4 GB RAM, 640 GB 7200 RPM SATA drive. Windows XP Pro, LR3, CS5 My workflow is as follows After a shoot, I: -Import card through LR3 on laptop. LR3 import module makes a 2nd copy to a network share on the desktop. Assign basic copyright info as well as basic keywording -Go through images in library module of LR3 and do all flagging, ranking, etc. Add images to various collections and fine tune keywording. -Edit those images that need editing, jumping into CS5 as needed. The majority (98+%) of my images are corrected and edited in LR3 without the need to go to CS5 -Export images to jpg as necessary. Publish using modules for SmugMug, Facebook, etc as appropriate. My backups could use an improvement. I do a monthly 'full image' backup of the laptop using Acronis True Image. This is stored on a USB hard drive, and takes nearly 12 hours. The desktop is imaged a little less frequently as all it really does anymore is serve as the backup of the laptop. I need to look a little closer at carbonite. If a drive fails, I should be OK - but if my house were to burn, flood, whatever, I would not be. [/QUOTE]
