Real World Workflow

Ok, I know I’m the biggest curmudgeon when it comes to OS releases and updates, but honestly there’s a few things I’m looking forward to in this release, mainly the streamlined install size and supposed finder revamp.

What I’m nervous about are the usual tech jitters with every release. What’s the compatibility? Especially with something like Leaf Capture, whose support is up in the air along with the app itself. If any of you out there hear anything please let us know. I’m on set for the next few weeks, but will post info as I get it.

Edit Again!!! First up is C1 4.8.2, not compatible. There is a workaround in DB mode, but seems like most of us will want to hold off on this until an official fix is out…

C1 4.8.2 and Snow Leopard

Please read the comment from JonG, says 4.8.2 licensed works fine, but 3.7.9 not so good.

In between baby feedings I’m going to try upgrading on a cloned drive and see what mayhem ensues with 3.7.9 and LC.

Wish me and Junior luck…

8.31.09 Update So much for the weekend. I had an urgent request from a client and that zapped whatever time I had set aside for my test session.

Do check out this link on software compatiblity by Lloyd Chambers, who is doing a rather extensive SL review and it’s photographer centric too:

Wacom drivers work, Leaf Capture has some crashiness, and Eye-One Match works, although until this is verified first hand I wouldn’t be touching a capture machine with a ten foot fuzzy leopard pole…

More to come, especially when I finish the eleven day marathon I’m currently working through. I’m very curious to see how Phase handles the LC update, since Leaf had been very responsive to OS updates in the past and had earned my respect. Hopefully Phase will continue that tradition.

So stay tuned techs, it’s been a very interesting summer…

Hey Guys,

I’m getting an Eizo soon.  I’m thinking about getting the Eizo CG222WBK instead of one of the higher of the coloredge series, like the Eizo CE240 ColorEdge

What do you guys think ?

Hey guys,

Just got off a massive week of a fashion catalogue shoot and woke up this morning with a brain flash of how to make sorting the lo_res and hi-res into to job folders easier. Thanks to google and macscripter with in an hour I had a pretty neat new app. Its pretty basic just have two recipes that spits out a subfolder for lo res and hi res then once that is full with all your files run theOrganised on the folder and watch it create sub-dir’s for all the shots. So 123456_001.tiff and 123456_002.tiff are place into a folder called 123456 etc etc etc check out it and all my other workflow pimping apps at my apps page

By the way I’m I the only sad Tech out there doing this stuff! Or am I the only one dumb enough to share them?
