Can anyone tell me if the user experience with Adobe Lightroom, Photoshop Elements and Premier Elements is much different on OSX vs Windows 7? Are there any advantages to running these programs on a Mac?
The background to this question is that while I have loved Macs for their ease of use and stylishness for a long time I feel a home built i7 based PC would have much better video encoding performance than an iMac for similar cost (I have a hi def video camera). A Mac Pro would cost much more and would be over my budget.
One reason to go with Mac even with this performance deficit would be if the aforementioned software was much nicer to use on OSX, hence my question.
Thanks,
Dub.
