1126790 2010-08-13 01:51:00 I haven't looked at this link, but ff3 matches photoshop:
www.dria.org

I think only windows 7 is colour aware (previous windows aren't), and only ff3 is colour managed unlike earlier versions...

i can redo the plugin with FF but they are not the same - just put them side/side just then .. with the plugin they are closer but not the same.

1126792 2010-08-13 06:57:00 i have a friend who has switched to mac. he is in the science lab for work and he uses unix (mac os) loaded into mac to do remote work when connected to the lab when he is at home.

he says with a mac there is less dependencies.
it has less software he says but it does his work for him.

1126793 2010-08-13 09:43:00 Depends what software your using really some software e.g Adobe is just a direct clone from windows + extra examples normally. I find the UI in some programs nicer but that is just personal preference. The only design software (large corporate companies like adobe) that is Mac only is the stuff made by Apple. Macs currently don't have a large enough market share for companies like Adobe to make mac specific apps.

So the answer is Yes and No.

If you actually do some home work you will find that after Postscript Adobe produced software for the Mac. It was only after acquiring Macromedia that they really started producing for Windows.

True, you learn something everyday...

1126796 2010-08-13 13:29:00 These days it's really just personal preference.

There are no technical hardware advantages, and no longer any real software advantages as others have said.

Macs have a user interface which many find more intuitive and just "better". Others, including myself, can't stand it. But generally, you find that people who are used to PCs and PCs only hate using Macs, and vice versa. This makes it very hard to say which is actually better (in regards to interface), if such a thing can be determined objectively at all.

Probably, if someone did a study on it they may find out that the type of people that tend to be graphics designers simply tend to like Macs more. I wouldn't be surprised.

1126797 2010-08-13 21:53:00 Certainly seems difficult to get a real objective conclusion.

I note the master himself has been unable to clarify to any extent,I am talking Safari.

1126798 2010-08-13 22:01:00 Have a read here Cic
It is pretty much what has been stated here already.

Safari (3993)
1126799 2010-08-15 10:05:00 "Apple has clearly focused their operating system on ease of use, introducing new features with each release that improve the user experience "

Have to say ease of use was the reason I switched.

My wife, mind you, thinks the same of her Asus running Win7, so it's really just a personal preference IMO.
