I currently have a 2012 IMAC, 27inch top of the line model. It has a 3.4 ghz intel core I7 with 32GB 1600 MHz DDR3 ram and a Nvidia Geforce GTC 680MX 2048 MB graphics card. I have no yet upgraded to Maverick.
I use the computer for a variety of things but my main focus in photography. I have been finding the computer slow using lightroom and a few plugins such as Nik software and on one suite. I find the rendering of the images in LR particularly slow and saving the files back to LR slow. I also use PS and noticed that saving the file from PS to LR is instantaneous.
My question is would a Mac Pro make a big difference to my photography workflow. I am using a Nikon D800e with huge files. My working files are currently on my pegasus r6. Someone suggested that another alternative would be to get a 1 TB solid state drive and work from there.
I would appreciate any suggestions that you would have. If I were to get a new model Mac Pro which configuration should I get? Would the Mac Pro be 50% or more faster? I am currently using two monitors as well.
Thank you,
Marsha
