Ah, so it's an all-in-one iMac! Not a separate computer-and-screen combination. Excellent machine! Got one too, and a 17" MacBook Pro, a 20" iMac, and a 17" G4 iMac ("the lamp"). Of those the 24" iMac is the ideal photo editing work station: wickedly fast, gorgeous screen real estate, the OSX UI, and OSX apps.

Don't you find the glossy screen difficult to deal with when you start working within the blacks and isn't it a little too contrasty?... I am just wondering as I have only worked with the matt screens. |

I have not gotten photoshop for it yet I will have to call them on Monday to see what kind of deal I can get, I hear making the switch from PC to Mac they will let you pay just the upgrade price for it, and not have to pay the full price for the program. I have worked on one photograph in Photomatix and it looked just great, there were not many blacks in the photograph though... Time will tell, so far I like what I see.. |

What environment are you working in? When I post process I work in a darkened room with no lights to my back to cause any glare issues.

I work in low light... but the glossy screens are designed to create a more vivid set of colours and a higher contrast. The glare really isn't an issue here. But as I mentioned, I have only worked on Matt screens. I have a MBP at home and MacPro at work. I was just looking for other peoples opinions who may have worked in both!

I have/had MacBook Pros with matt and glossy screens. I easily prefer the glossy screens. Compared to matt screens, however precise/exact their color and contrast rendition may be, glossy screens are a treat for my eyes. A joy to work with. |

You did the right thing, also made the change a week ago and got myself the Mac Book Pro 15.
Its awesome, no issues and I cant get enough of it. Great machine- just love it. Just a few days and you get to know everything. |

Personally, I havn't bothered to do so yet, since CS4 is a 32 bit version. I'm waiting for CS5 and the 64 bit version that they should have done with CS4. |

What was the total price for the 24" combo unit? I might get a desktop for the house. I just bought a 13" Macbook last month and even though I had a week learning curve, love it. The bad thing is, I havn't been able to use my camera as much as I wanted to in about 3 weeks. I spent a week learning the Mac, then decided to buy Lightroom 2 and Phostshop CS4. Even though I can import photos, etc in LR2, I wanted to really understand it before I started putting thousands of photos in it. So far its great. Wish I had did this years ago. GPatch PS I lived in Hilton Head for a year. It was great !! |
