WorkFlow

Workflow is an absolute B*tch. I had basically nailed down my routine when I was working in 6 megapixels and scans. Shoot in raw. Transfer with BreezeBrowser, organize, tweak and batch process in C1PRO. Open in fotoshop, retouch, save to final copy.

That was then.

Ever since I made the switch to 12 megapixels though, my 6 megapixel workflow is broken. Breezebrowser doesn't support the camera. D2X white balance is encrypted. C1Pro can't seem to output the file. I tinkered with Bible, but for some reason I'm not entirely interested. (Yet, it looks quite nice I'll admit!) For now I'm wholesale converting .NEF over to Open Raw- the Digital Negative- DNG. The it's photoshop.

But it's a much slower process, and on my stock shoots I process upwards of thousand images to get my one.

If Apples Aperature is really as good as they claim it is, then I'm going to have to make the switch to Mac. That being said, I still have to solve my problems because there isn't any point in switching until the Intel Macs come out.
