2017 iMac For Photogs




Photo Taco Podcast show

Summary: Jeff Harmon talks about a few changes to the show with some consolidation to a single Improve Photography podcast feed and a single Facebook group and then answers a question from listener Katie Shipley who asked:<br> “I had just finished listening to the podcast and taking notes on what to look for when buying a new computer when Apple announced the new iMacs last week. Now I am confused on which one is best. I think the iMac Pro is out of my price range so I need to stick with an iMac. I would love suggestions on what to buy to get the best performance in LR and PS. The top of my budget is $2000 but would love to not spend that much if I can get great performance for less”<br> Jeff recommends the base level 27″ iMac with upgrades of 256GB SSD and 16GB of memory that comes in slightly over budget at $2,100 before taxes.  If the $2,000 budget is more hard than that then the mid-level 21.5″ iMac with upgrades to a Core i7 CPU, 256GB SSD, and 16GB of memory brings the price in at right on $2,000 but leaves not room for taxes in the budget.  If that is still a problem then go with the Core i5 CPU and the 256GB SSD and 16GB RAM which comes to $1,700 and should mean with taxes the computer will come in under budget.<br> Other Photo Taco Resoucres<br> Vote for Jeff’s “Cull” module idea to be added to Lightroom: <a href="http://bit.ly/cullmodule">http://bit.ly/cullmodule</a><br> Photo Taco Archive: <a href="https://phototacopodcast.com/category/phototacopodcast/">https://phototacopodcast.com/category/phototacopodcast/</a><br> iTunes review link: <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/photo-taco-quick-photography/id980781096?mt=2#">https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/photo-taco-quick-photography/id980781096?mt=2#</a><br> Photo Taco Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/phototacopodcast/">https://www.instagram.com/phototacopodcast/</a><br> Photo Taco email: <a href="mailto:phototacopodcast@gmail.com">phototacopodcast@gmail.com</a><br> Jeff’s Twitter: <a href="https://twitter.com/harmon_jeff">https://twitter.com/harmon_jeff</a><br> Jeff’s Facebook Page: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/jsharmonphotos/">https://www.facebook.com/jsharmonphotos/</a><br> Jeff’s Portfolio: <a href="http://jsharmonphotos.com">http://jsharmonphotos.com</a><br> Jeff’s Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/harmonjeff/">https://www.instagram.com/harmonjeff/</a><br>
