Digital Photography - The Operating System Debate
One of the most hotly contested concepts in the world of digital photography is that of operating system superiority. Mac users claim that due to OS X’s ease of use and Apple’s eye for design, their systems are the best in the world for storing and editing digital photos. But on the flip side, Windows users have long said that PCs are more universal and thus are more qualified to meet the needs of the digital arts community. So who is right in this battle of the software titans?
Windows
Microsoft Windows has long been the standard for business applications such as Excel, Outlook, and Word. The majority of offices use PC's with windows as this is mainly due to the lower cost of PC equipment and the compatibility of different systems working with windows. However when it comes to digital photography, using Windows gives you no clear advantage over any other operating system.
Software like Adobe Photoshop run almost the same on Windows as a Mac and since Apple switched to using Intel processors now the hardware is almost the same as well. What are the pluses of using Windows? To start with, PC's are significantly less expensive when compared to Mac's. Most of the software you can find for OS X is also available for Windows, and you can get a decent PC capable of easily dealing with photographs for far less than an equally geared Mac. If cost is your bottom line, you should probably look into a Windows system.
Mac - The Comeback King
It seems impossible to think that just ten years ago, some analysts saw Apple as a sinking ship. With its innovative design and easy to use software, Apple had an incredible comeback and is now one of the top technology leaders in the world. OS X has been praised for its intuitive interface and seamless meshing of multiple bits of software, and was built from the ground up with multi-media in mind.
Apple computers are sometimes viewed as less advanced as PCs hardware-wise, and often cost an good chunk of money. The top of the line PowerMac could run you over $4,000, and when you consider that the easiest way to upgrade a Mac is to buy a new one, taking the financial plunge can be quite difficult. But one of the biggest advantages is that OS X is a super stable operating system and rarely crashes or suffers from virus threats. Another thing you'll find better with a Mac is when you work on multiple programs at once it's a lot faster and easier which can significantly increase your productivity.
Naturally, people are going to fall into their respective camps, and this is where the real answer to the Operating System Debate lies: You should use whatever operating system works best for you. Personal preference just can't be explained because no one can tell you why one person prefers let's say likes - ornate gold leaf picture frames and someone else loves distressed picture frames - it's just their taste. There is really no difference between the file formats of Photoshop or Lightroom in each operating system so you don't have to worry about any negative impacts when working with your digital images. Your best solution is to visit the Apple store and then visit a computer store and play around with both operating systems. Whichever system makes the most sense to you based upon your needs and budget is the one you should invest in.
Windows and Mac both have their strengths and weaknesses and either one could be the victor depending upon the needs of the user. However, in the world of digital photography, either one is a good bet towards taking your photos to the next level. In the end, you really have to choose a system that works for you so you can continually expand and improve your photography skills.
