Lloyd Chambers of MacPerformanceGuide.com and diglloyd.com will show how to set up a high-performance photographer’s workstation using the Apple Mac Pro. An actual Mac Pro will be used, and it will be configured and set up as the talk progresses, transforming an out-of-the-box Mac Pro into a state of the art photographic workstation. Learn what equipment to choose and how to install it, how to configure Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom for top performance, how to set up a fast RAID, and robust backup strategies. You’ll see exactly how to:
• Install an internal solid state drive (SSD) as the boot (startup) drive;
• Install memory and hard drives;
• Install system software to minimize bloatware and cruft;
• Computer hygiene — separate system and applications from your data;
• Create a striped RAID for high performance, including a blazingly-fast scratch volume and high-performance main volume;
• Create a RAID mirror for reliability;
• Configure Time Machine for automated backups;
• Clone a drive including your system drive;
• Configure Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Lightroom for optimal performance, including plugins and preferences;
• Monitor performance, including memory usage, disk speed and CPU usage to verify that the system is performing optimally;
• More!
