What's your thoughts on the newer iMacs? I'm looking to upgrade from a 2007 iMac and there is so-ooo many options out there. I routinely work on 900mb+ files, also interested in how well you can calibrate to kinda match prints from Epsons.

Thanks,

Sorry, this should be moved to digital hardware.

I have one from this Spring, not the just introduced version. I absolutely love it. Max the memory of course.

As for calibration I use the latest X-rite i1 and it works well. As for matching prints how perfect do you expect a backlit display to be against dull paper? It always takes some judgement and practice but the colors are in the right place.

Thanks Richard, I realize there isn't a perfect system. But, this sounds good.

Look on "The Online Photographer" for an informative article be Ctein on that new Retina IMac.
