A photographer’s workstation

Join me at B&H Photo in New York city on September 16 from 3-5pm for A Photographer’s Workstation. Details and signup are not yet posted at B&H Photo, but will be soon, both at B&H and here.

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!
