What do you edit photos on? PC/MAC and software choice?

[James J]

I'm interested in finding out if users here use a PC or a MAC based system for photo editing and if so, whats the configuration of either type of machine (or both!?)

Personally I was considering the move to an iMac 27 inch when they are refreshed but I'd have to spend a daft amount of money to get one which is vastly faster than my current setup -.-

Also, would be interesting to see what software you guys use.

I'll start the ball rolling:

[B][COLOR="Red"]Mac/PC[/COLOR][/B] = Macbook Air 2011 13inch
[COLOR="red"][B]Hard Drive space[/B][/COLOR] = 128gb SSD + 2x 1tb external hdds
[COLOR="red"][B]RAM[/B][/COLOR] = 4gb DDR3
[B][COLOR="red"]Screen res[/COLOR][/B] = 1440x900
[B][COLOR="red"]Software[/COLOR][/B] = Aperture 3 and Canon DPP

Using Aperture on an iMac 27" (2560x1440 screen res, i5 750, 8gb RAM, ATI4850). I love the screen size though could do with an SSD to speed things up a bit.

Mac, iMac 27" mid 2010 - 2.8 Ghz Core i5

Alpherah, do you also feel like you need to speed up your iMac for photos?
