I'm really considering switching from PC to Mac. . . I do alot of photography and videography on the side (weddings, etc.), and want to do even more. I currently use Photoshop CS (for image editing) and Premiere 6.0 (for video editing) - on the PC.
I really like Mac - for user friendliness and cost. I've played with the OS in the store, and am very comfortable with the setup. But iPhoto and iMovie just don't have the features I'm going to need. I hate to spend $600+ each to buy Photoshop and Premiere again. . . and they do have more features than I really need. Any advice on software that will give that professional quality, but not dry out my bank account?
Also, I'm looking at the iMac G5 1.9GHz, 512MB Ram, 160GB HD for $1299
and I don't want to have to think about upgrading again for a few years. Will this be a suitable system? I don't do the gaming thing. . . but I will need to get Office for Mac.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!!!!!!
