[QUOTE="Doug b, post: 1197811, member: 59143"] That MBP is MORE than enough to handle anything. I have a 3 year old MBP 2.4ghz C2D with 4 gigs of RAM and use LR 3 with CS5. No problems. But um, I have to ask.. why do you use all those programs ? Bridge and ACR are totally redundant, as LR uses ACR, and surpasses Bridge as a browser and database manager. If you keep your files in folders in some orderly fashion, LR will see them as such and you can browse in a file tree if that's how you like to do it, vs keywords etc etc.. I utilize both means. Oh, and Portrait Professional? You've got CS4... Granted, you actually have to do the work but still... Only one other suggestion, if you do any printing. Save money and get the regular glossy screen, and purchase an external monitor instead. It's near impossible to properly calibrate a MBP screen. Just aren't enough controls to do it. I do prefer matte screens as well, but if you're doing any professional work, you still have to make sure that what you're seeing on screen is going to match the photo labs printers, and that usually requires regular calibrating.
