Info on Snow Leopard for the treatment of Photographers « Photofocus
As a life-long Mac narcotic addict, I conventional up purchased the upgrade. But as is my life-long plan, I am holding improbable on installing the software.
Why?
Compatibility.
Some programs, drivers, utilities conventional up not that been upgraded to inflame with Snow Leopard, and some may at no all at once be. I conventional up heard some reports that divers printer drivers are not working immeasurably with Snow Leopard.
For likelihood, Aperture ordain inflame with Snow Leopard, but barely if you’ve installed the latest Aperture update. Nikon Capture NX 2, Nikon View NX and Nikon Scan do NOT inflame with Snow Leopard.
For a extent undeviating and up to daytime shopping list of compatibility, I’d basically you to Macintouch’s shopping list.
OS X v. http://www.macintouch.com/specialreports/snowleopard/slcompat.html
There is another compatibility location here - http://snowleopard.wikidot.com/
In too to compatibility issues there are efficacious changes to how the renewed OS natively handles color. 10.6 has switched to gamma 2.2. On all one-time Macs, the autochthon gamma was 1.8. This is a high-mindedness phobia in my judgement, but it may swap the method your images look to you and make you to re-calibrate your monitor(s).
This constantly caused problems in search photographers who wanted to portion their photos online with Windows users who uniformly handle 2.2 gamma.
Apple has advance an immensely helpful loosing on the gamma swap and I powerfully counsel all photographers who handle Macs inherit a not divers minutes to deliver assign to it. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3712
I ordain bide one’s time a not divers weeks to look into how the updates are coming and when I ponder it’s enough, I’ll instal the update.
