[Leica] OT: SSD Drive for CS Scratch Disk

[rgacpa at gmail.com (Robert Adler)]

Hi Geoff,
No, not a laptop. It's improving as prices come down. Now populated fully
at 32MB RAM. I think the SSD scratch disk for CS is going to help a lot. I
only use LR for my Leica files and for any MF files that I have stitched
and worked on in CS. I use CaptureOne for the Phase One back. It does stuff
LR cannot (Lens Cast Correction = LCC) and does a pretty fine job with
highlight and shadow processing. Plus it has some features LR doesn't that,
though I haven't used much, occasionally come in handy (a really cool
keystone straightening feature and white balance and dust removal feature
with my LCC processing).
The dollars have to be very targeted these days: little toward more gear,
most toward post processing!
Bob
