Today I've been sorting out my computers. This one that I use for the internet is old and sad, but it has photoshop on it which makes it handy for a quick edit for the blog.
My main editing computer, that I use for serious stuff, isn't connected to the internet, that has photoshop and lightroom on it. I've been using it for ages.
Now while it's a really good computer, it's old-ish now, and it's a monster, liquid cooled beast. So a little while ago I got a replacement for it.
The replacement is also a beast, an Alienware something or other. But I didnt have any editing software on. Thats what I've been doing today. OMG!
Installing photoshop, lightroom and a few other programs I use a lot took AGES, not helped by the new computer not having winrar to open the bloody rar files. Then the antivirus wouldnt let me do ANYTHING. What a PITA.
Finally after about half the day I got the programs I use installed..... Then because I'm an idiot, I deceded to install some photo programs on my back-up internet computer. I should explain.
The PC I'm typing this on is Win xp, it what I've use for the net for decades, it's a Dell, but as it still works and has an older version of photoshop which is fine for the blog stuff I'm happy. Thing is it's now reached the point it wont work on some websites, and Youtube is a non starter!.
About 2 years ago I got a replacement, but as I dont think it'll run photoshop (it's a low spec just for the net) I've pretty much only used it for Youtube watching. Anyway today as I was installing a million programs on the Alienware I got to thinking about bunging some photo software on that one too.
So many hours later and it's now gor several photo programs, I havent tried photoshop, but I'm now seriously thinking of trying it. Well not now but tomorrow, I'm knackered now and it's late.
