ljclark Posted October 17, 2009 Share #61 Posted October 17, 2009 Advertisement (gone after registration) Why ACDSee Pro Photo Manager 2.5? Because for Adobe products you need a minimal screen resolution of 1024x768 and the Netbooks offer only 1024x600! Remember: You won't be able to install Photoshop CS4 on a Netbook! You can install Adobe Lightroom 2.x, but it is not very confortable to use on a 1024x600 screen. I found no problem with ACDSee Pro Photo Manager 2.5 (but I won't do any serious work it) Some netbooks offer "only" 1024x600 display, but others offer "virtual" resolution of 1024x768. You need to shop around. That is one of the reasons I selected an ASUS netbook 2 weeks ago. Through bit of software/firmware my ASUS allows you to switch between 800x600 (useless), 1024x600, and 1024x768. The actual display is still hardware limited to 1024x600, but the ASUS allows you to "slide" that 1024x600 window up and down over a 1024x768 image field. Not particularly convenient, but it does allow software installation. I was able to install ACR once I selected 1024x768 and I suspect you could install other Adobe software that has the 1024x768 requirement. That said, I'm not sure I'm going to use ACR, since I also have ACDSee Pro installed. I decided not to install a full-up PhotoShop since I really don't want to get into that level of editing, but PS Elements 6 installed without problems. Another thing to check on netbooks is the video output. My ASUS uses a standard VGA video output, but a colleague at work has a netbook (HP?) that uses HDMI -- that's OK as long as you have an HDTV flat screen you can use as monitor. I have a spare 1600 x 900 LCD monitor at home, and when I connect it to the ASUS and select an external monitor, the computer displays just fine at the native resolution of the monitor.

brill64 Posted October 18, 2009 Share #62 Posted October 18, 2009 Try Epson P-6000.Epson P-6000 Multimedia Photo Viewer, Overview - Product Information - Epson America, Inc. slightly off topice but note the small print: "* The viewer supports only the JPEG preview embedded in .dng files." epson viewers do not support and won't show dng directly because they stubbornly refuse to update their equipment for leica. it makes them pretty defunct kit for leica digital users, imo. of course otherwise, they can't be faulted but i'm getting rid of my p5000 purely for this reason. reading the embedded preview doesn't cut it for me i'm afraid. writing jpg's at the same time as dng uses extra battery and requires additional storage if you're bound to do so just because of the viewer Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrejK Posted December 2, 2009 Share #63 Posted December 2, 2009 Yes, but an internal hard-drive only stores the complete file. The Epson changes its identity. Sorry but I think you are not right. My Epson P-5000 does just plain copy of the SD card and does not touch the files in any way. Even the date of creation of the file stays intact.

On the other hand I think jpgs show faster on screen than do NEF files from Nikon D300. I have the Epson set to sort files by file type, so I do not have to go through all the double files while viewing. Andrej Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
busato Posted December 3, 2009 Share #65 Posted December 3, 2009 Use SD cards and make backups on DVD's, you will find shops who will do this for you in almost all bigger cities. Having a way to give people their pictures is a very good idea. This will make you very popular in the villages – you will need lots of paper and ink … Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
