That’s why I use Macs.

I do graphic design for a living and Macs handle color space/color mode, fonts and CMYK printing much better than do PC’s.

They also multi-task better. I’ve got 8 gigs in my Quad and I can have a 1 gig file open in PShop while simultaneously working with Illustrator, Dreamweaver, Fireworks and InDesign and they work flawlessly, without a stumble.

I try that in my Sony PC and it chokes when I open up ID and PShop at the same time, never mind working with huge, muli-layer files...

I was fine when I was using a simple 3.5 mp camera and loading 72 ppi photos in jpg format. Now i'm using a 10 megapixel camera and loading the 240+ pixel per inch files into the computer in RAW format plus whatever format I use for viewing. As you said, multi layer files in photoshop can be awfully frustrating.

I'm starting to do some photography work for my sister who is a pro and I'm definitely going to need something that handles the graphics better. I've ordered a 5 gig external hard drive for easy storage but that's only going to help so much.
