[QUOTE="Exodist, post: 1542877, member: 284358"] I totally agree.. Even on my iPod Touch 5th gen its amazing. I do photography as a hobby. Mind you everything I do I tend to go overboard with. My Mac Mini (specs below) runs Lightroom5, CS6, and Photomatix Pro with ease. I love Mac, but iPhoto is only good for your Moms photos (no pun intended, not for real photographers.) Aperture needs a serious update. Its not worth purchasing. That said, Lightroom 5 is pretty much my main software for processing almost all my photos and organizing them. Its very powerful and economically priced at about 150 USD, but you can get it cheaper. I got mine on sale for 135 USD. I seldom need CS6 for anything unless I am just messing around or need to stitch a panoramic photo together, which is does wonderfully. I also have Photomatix Pro for use on HDR photos. But its actually fairly cheap at about 30 USD. Lightroom 5 pretty much does it all. For what you get with this software and what you can do with it, the value is very low. I am shocked Adobe doesnt try to charge more. This is what the pros use, but its easy enough a beginner can be kicking out professional looking images after only a tutorial or two on youtube. Now many travel and professional photographers like Serge Ramelli use a MBP with Lightroom, PMP and CS6 without any issues. I even have LR5 on my wife's 13" MBA and it runs great. But one thing I would like to say, retina is better color and contrast. Plus more screen real-estate to get the image on the screen. [/QUOTE]
