    Buying second hand CS4 on ebay - yes or no?

    CS4 Master Collection on ebay Anyone bought a second hand set? - Am tempted with this to run on a spare computer. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Adobe-Creative-Suite-CS4-Master-Collection-Mac-/200568532405?pt=UK_Computing_Software_Software_SR&hash=item2eb2d0edb5#ht_655wt_1153 What do they...

    iMac 27 question

    I bought one 3 months ago - i27 2.93, with 12gb ram; SSD and 2tb HD. I am a heavy CS5 user plus Lightroom etc etc - it just ploughs though things! Great bit of kit. No draw back at all so far. The SSD option seems worth it - its a 250gb one - only run applications from that - all storage on...

    How hot does your iMac run?

    Recently put in a 27" i7 (replacing an old G5 PowerMac Big Grey Box) Just happened to put my hand on top of it earlier - strewth its hot! Is this 'normal'? Fans were not going, I had just been building quite a complex layered Photoshop file so fairly pressor heavy stuff. Rog

    First time iMac buyer!

    Just opened the box delivered by UPS today - a 27" i7 with SSD and 2Tb now up and running (with an additional 8gb Ram from Crucial- so 12 in there now). Been going for about an hour. LOVELY screen and it seems ok speed wise - just run a couple of bigish Photoshop layered files through (about a...

    Just tell me what to buy will you please . . .

    Would be happy to be as far away as possible from them all - might use the 100-400 on max . . . Been practicing my 'talk' - not sure how well the phrase 'Smile you miserable bu**ers' will go down . . . My in - laws; and yes they are Mis B's . . . No probs on using anything wider - got enough...

    Got 3 reasonable size canvas mounts to get done - what's the current thoughts on folk producing these - all images are panoramics - so long thin critters really. Rog

    Large format print ideas needed please.

    Get them run on a Lambda? Have a seal put on the front and glue back. These guys have one and produce pretty good results - ask for Dave . . . Type Creative 01926 886716 Rog

    Canon 7D vs 5D Mark II

    Having now used a 5d2 for over a year - I just love it - the output on FF is just STUNNING - I will never go back to a cropped body - why would you? In every aspect its superior (other opinions are available!) the d2 has its limitations - which as sure canon will address in the next version -...

    Sigma 12-24mm on a full-frame camera

    Just to add my 50p's worth - I bought Ed's lens - and it is stunning and great fun on a full frame - those extra mm do make a BIG difference. I have a 16-35 as well - both are very different creatures. Would not use the 12-24 all the time but if you want to go uber wide its excellent. (sorry Ed...

    What was your First ever camera?

    Kodak Instamatic - cant remember which - but a VERY basic one - then a Zenit EM - was SO proud of it - learnt so much about exposure - did all my own mono processing (all in my bedroom - just stank of fix all the time!) Used to do some wacky close up macro lark - all held together with tape and...
