The Macintosh for Digital Photography
When it comes to the finer details, nobody takes a closer look than photographers. Perhaps thats why more digital photographers choose Macintosh. With integrated Apple technologies for managing color consistency and print quality, the Macintosh is the easiest way to scan, manipulate, and print your photos. In many cases, its the shortest distance between the camera and the layout. So if you havent been looking your best lately, maybe its time to focus on Apple.
Power Mac G4 adds velocity to Photoshop
In digital photography, Macintosh is the platform of choice for professionals who want to scan their images once and publish them repeatedly. To ensure compatibility with this growing industry, the Power Mac G4 processor has been engineered to maximize performance inside todays most popular graphics applications. For example, programs like Adobe Photoshop have been rewritten to take advantage of the G4s Velocity Enginewhich accelerates common filter calculations like lens flares, color corrections, and Gaussian blurs.
Macintoshthe industry standard
Manufacturers such as Heidelberg, Scitex, and others often optimize their hardware and software solutions for the Macdelivering professional design tools and business applications that are used by news organizations like CNN, Time, and Newsweek magazine. Along with digital cameras, key products like drum scanners and flat scanners are routinely introduced first, and sometimes only, on the Mac platform. Overall, Macintosh boasts a tremendous range of affordable hardware and software for image capture, photo manipulation, and color output.

Digital cameras

With the adoption of USB and FireWire technology, Apple computers have ignited a revolution in image capture with digital cameras. Photojournalists around the world are bringing fastbreaking news swiftly to publication with professional-quality digital cameras. Consumers are discovering how to rapidly move images into the Macintosh through these ultrafast connectors. Even non-USB cameras can transfer their images with new USB Flash card readers. Best of all, the Power Mac G4 can dramatically accelerate the efforts of commercial and catalog photographers, who are shooting larger formats digitally with the next generation of equipment.

ColorSync 3

Along with Mac OS 9, Apple has introduced new developments in ColorSync technology, Apples advanced color management software. ColorSync 3 now features a workflow architecture to streamline the process from image capture to final output. In addition, ColorSync 3 now includes profiles for a wider spectrum of todays most popular devicesdigital cameras, scanners, printers, proofing devices, and color presses.
