Thanks, Godfrey! Sounds good. I’m not really interested in the photog stuff. I’m completely committed to Lightroom on my hard drive (iMac & Laptop)etc. I’m not budging from that. I use my PSElements when I need to. Very happy with this setup for now.
What I am interested in learning and using are the InDesign and other apps. If I consider it, I’ll add some ram to my desktop, which I should do anyway. I am, however, at the low end of the processors: 2.5 GHz Intel Core i5 on my iMac and a little better on the laptop 2.6 GHz Intel Core i5, but 8 gigs of ram. I’d actually like to use the CC on the laptop. Lots of space on my hard drive for both—no worries there.
