It&#39;s astonishing how much software you collect over time, and how much you come to rely on it. Just about every step has meant installing something new; but I&#39;m getting there, and most things are working fine.<\/p>\n<p>The machine is soooo much better than my old one. Faster (much), and quieter (in fact I don&#39;t even realize it&#39;s doing anything). As an example of speed, processing RAW files tended to take 10-11 seconds per image; it now takes about 3-4 seconds per image. Much, much better. For the technically minded, I&#39;m now running with 8GB of RAM, on a Vista 64-bit machine, with 1TB of hard drive (plus 1.5TB on external drives). <\/p>\n<p>Vista seems a bit defensive (it wouldn&#39;t let me save custom presets into the Neat Image folder). I had to move them manually and do the constant &#39;Yes i really do want to this&#39; clicks, but I can live with that. <\/p>\n<p>And yes, I have had time to take some photos today. In the garden.
