if you already have the software and are used to Windows you are probably better off sticking with Windows. Switching to Mac could prove expensive and frankly, the differences in quality are not dramatic.
I wish to advance myself deeper into the realm of Digital Photography for hopefully some type of economic gain. I just purchased a reasonable quality Camera and consider making some upgrades in the PC department for all the editing etc. Over the years I have heard many, many people say that for graphic/photographic imaging you should go with the Apple G5 style computer for all your editing compared to Standard PC Production or Home Built.
Could some of you in the industry or whom feel qualified please respond and offer me some advice.
Please note I am 48 years old and disabled with severe back pain and take serious medication to control my pain. My focus and concentration are oftern inhibited by the drugs so I feel learning a new OS might be quite an undertaking. But admit I never have even seen an Apple OS for comparison.
Expense is also an issue as I have no income at all while I continue my appeals with our beloved Social Security Department so bang for the buck is CRITICAL!!
Any help is appreciated.
