New Life in my LR CCC & PS CC

Last week my 2010 iMac choked on its dying HDD, so I treated myself with a new
27� 5K 4.2GHz i7 iMac with 32GB DDR4. Have been limited to my iPad Pro for
much of the last few days so I was relieved when UPS delivered that new iMac
yesterday.

I spent some time on the new setup which was eased by having much of my prior
configuration handled by iCloud.
Cutting to the chase; I have been playing with LR CCC/PS CC, and my various
third party plugin stuff, On1 PR, Exposure X3, DxO NIK, and some others. The
speed increase in importing RAW files into LR CCC has, for me, been an eye
opener. That includes building “Smart Previews� on import. Edits and exports
are all so much better than in the past. Now I can truly appreciate what Adobe
has done to improve LR CCC/PS CC that I just didn’t get with my old setup.
Everything is snappier even when using the third party stuff as stand-alones.

I should have updated years ago.
