MAC and Photoshop actions - 07-29-2007, 08:51 AM


I currently have both a MAC Book Pro and a PC. I'm trying to make the big leap of faith and switch everything to MAC, but it's taking time. My question is this, are the PS Actions that you can purchase from numerous photographers, etc specifc to Windows or MAC platforms or can you use them on either?

Also, any suggestions for a DAM for MAC? I was debating about Aperture and Lightroom for the DAM features, but am open for suggestions.

Actions are the same. Plugins will need a different executable for the different platforms. As far as Aperture vs. Lightroom, for a Macbook Pro I'd strongly recommend Lightroom over Aperture. You could probably go to an Apple store and see if the performance of Aperture on a MBP is acceptable to you, but I don't think they have enough GPU to make Aperture really usable.
