[QUOTE="lclev, post: 1617283, member: 307555"] Editing photos in RAW is a huge drain on your computers resources. Especially since you have increased megapixels and you have a lot of photos open (is that as thumbnails or full size??) I do more video work versus photo but I do use Lightroom and Photoshop. I have found the better the video card (more onboard video card memory) and the higher the system memory, the better handling of the picture. Hard drive speed is not as big an influence as the video card and memory of the system. Also with the macbook pro versus the iMac you have to consider logic boards. The iMac will have a better logic board bus through plus a much bigger screen and hopefully a kick butt video card with 2 to 4 GB of onboard memory with a fast GPU. Actually, if you are doing a lot of photo editing and don't have to have portability the iMac or Mac Pro is the way to go. Obviously, the iMac is considerably cheaper! ;) Lisa [/QUOTE]
