Which of the two models is better to use photo editing and 3D softwares?

Hello,
I intend to buy a Mac, but I'm in doubt between two models. Besides the basic usage I use the computer to edit photos (Lightroom, Photoshop and Illustrator) and construction of 3D objects in software like Solid Works and Rhinoceros.
I am in doubt if I buy one of the models below:
New MacBook Air
1.7GHz Dual-Core Intel Core i7, Turbo Boost up to 3.3GHz
8GB Memory
256GB Flash Storage
Intel HD Graphics 5000
MacBook Pro with Retina Display
2.6GHz Dual-core Intel Core i5 processor, Turbo Boost up to 3.2GHz
8GB Memory
256GB Flash Storage
Intel HD Graphics 4000
What do you recommend for what I do?
Thank you,
Gustavo

If you edit photos and do contractions of 3D objects majority of time, rMBP wil probably better for you.
The main difference between the two is that rMBP performs slightly better and has much more pixels, more ports.
If you don't feel like you need to take advantage of such things, MBA will do a really good job.
However if Display, ports is needed rMBP will be better for you.
From experience, rMBP is way too expensive for the performance so I'm buying the MBA soon.

  • Which of the two stores data permanently

    pls could someone tell me
    which of the two stores data permanently in a stand alone application
    Collections or use of JDBC

    The JDBC is better, you can have persistent Collections e.g. Berkerley DB but using a Database is more flexible and manageable.
    BTW: The berkerley DB has higher performance.

  • Which of the two monitors do you recommend for Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 5:  EIZO CG 277 Coloredge o

    HI,
    Which of the two monitors do you recommend for Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 5:
    EIZO CG 277 Coloredge or NEC PA-272W.
    Thanks in advance for your reply.

    It depends on where you are. Things are very different in Europe (Italy?) compared to the US situation.
    The price difference between comparable NEC/Eizo models in Europe actually goes in Eizo's favor. The regular NEC PA272 in Europe cannot be hardware calibrated (it has a firmware lock) and the comparable offering would be either the NEC Spectraview 272 or the Spectraview Reference 272. These are more expensive than the Eizo CG277.
    Note that the European PA272 can be hardware calibrated with the US Spectraview II software - but that software cannot be bought in Europe and has to be imported from the US.
    All these displays are top reference quality. As for calibration software, which is a very important part in the equation, my vote goes to Eizo's ColorNavigator (I have a CG246). It is a superb piece of well thought-out software. The US Spectraview II - which I also happen to have - is a very, very close second, but the European Spectraview Profiler software that you get with the EU NEC units isn't all that impressive.
    Photoshop supports a 10 bit display pipeline, with either display, as long as you have a video card that also supports it. Lightroom doesn't support it.

  • Acrobat 9 or Designer 8.2  Which of the two is best program to design a form in.

    I have some questions that I would like explained to me (by you long time users)
    I have acrobat 9 and designder 8.2.1
    1. Which of the two is best program to design a form in.
    2. What is the differance between the two in designing a form.(advantages / disadvantages)
    3. If I have a word .doc form that I want to make into a pdf, which program is best to open it in to work on, Adobe 9 or designer.
    4. If I create a form in Adobe 9 or designer can I open it in either after saving it to continue working on.
    TIA
    Tony

    I think this is a matter of opinion. The drawback of using Designer is that you can no longer edit in Acrobat at all. Those of us that learned in Acrobat, often favor the Acrobat route. In Designer you can import WORD forms and that might be useful at times; however, you can not edit it in Acrobat. Indeed, you can still open the form made in either using Reader or Acrobat. If you want backward compatibility, you need to be careful about saving it as such and not adding capabilities that are new with AA9. Those capabilities will be lost with earlier versions.
    The best way is to try it both ways and see what you think. When you buy Acrobat, Designer is part of the package. Thus you have the choice and can try both. Make a sample PDF for creating a form and then make 2 copies. You might even start out with a WORD form. Discover the pros and cons yourself. I have never felt the need to go to Designer and it seems that a lot of folks go there only because that is where the forms menu sends them, not realizing they could have used the TOOLS in Acrobat.

  • SQL*Loader options - which of the two is faster?

    Hi, I am loading data into a staging table, using sqlldr. There are no indexes, and the table can be truncated.
    the number of rows is known prior to the call, so i can set rows=...
    it is a fixed size CHAR/INTEGER record of around 100 bytes.
    Oracle is 10g.
    Now I am getting following sqlldr warning:
    SQL*Loader-281: Warning: ROWS parameter ignored in parallel mode.
    Cause: Specifying save points using the ROWS parameter is
    not supported for parallel loads.
    Action: Remove the ROWS parameter from the command-line
    arguments or specify a non-parallel direct load to have save
    points performed.
    Hence my question is, which of the two is faster?
    I could either:
    - trigger a direct load with TRUNCATE in the control file, and rows=<total number of rows>
    or
    - truncate table before loading, trigger a parallel load, APPEND, and give sqlldr potentially separate files in the correct parallellism that it can handle (so, e.g., 16 small files)
    thanks

    Hi,
    1. Go to WAD.
    2. Open any web template ( Search for * analysis )
    3. Select one template .
    4. Save as ..new name
    5. In the data provider change the data provider name and change the report name.
    6. test it .
    5. If you want to chane the layout and all , go to DHTML code and change as per your requirement .
    6. You can directly publish it from Query also ..it is fast .This will directly attach to your portAL.

  • Which among the two outbound queues has the highest priority?

    Hi guys, pardon me for the following questinos, im just a newbie in XI/PI.
    1. Which among the two outbound queues has the highest priority, XBTA or XBTM?
    2. Can someone elaborate more the difference between the Large outbound queue (XBTM) against the normal (XBTO) and the low (XBTZ) priority queues.
    3. If i have alloted an outbound queue for large messages (XBTM), will the messages going out of this queue affect the other queues (high, normal and low)?
    4. If messages do get stuck in either the inbound (XBTL) or the outbound (XBTM) queue, will this affect the other queues as well?
    Thanks.

  • HT203167 I was trying to create a playlist to add to a second ipod I have and save my library of my other ipod and hopefully transfer between the two or organize additional playlist between the two.  What I did was erase both and and back at point zero. l

    I was trying to create a playlist to add to a second ipod I have and save my library of my other ipod and hopefully transfer between the two or organize additional playlist between the two.  What I did was erase both and and back at point zero. lost everything.  Tried to follow directions but I'm too stupid. Used the 'New play list" wrong i think and I know where original files are but no directions as to get it back.  Its supposed to be a simple function of ipod bet not so!

    An iTunes playlist can only contain songs that are in the same iTunes library as the playlist.  There is neither a manual nor a scripted way to create an iTunes playlist that contains songs that are not in the library.  
    So, to do what you want, you would need to create a single consolidated library with all the music, and then create playlists off of that.  Since your current drive is "chock a block full," the best way to do this will be to spend $50-$100 and get an external hard drive for iTunes.

  • 1. I have an iPod which has purchases synced with I tunes with an apple ID. I now have an iPad with a new ID for cloud. I have cloud storage capacity of 5gb which came with the iPad. How can I use one ID and store my existing music in cloud?

    HI Frostyfrog
    CHeck out iTunes Match which has an annual fee of £21 or thereabouts. You can store a maximum of 25,000 songs there and they all become available on your other kit, iPhone, iPad and iPod. I know it works as I have over 23000 songs uploaded of which only a few we're bought through iTunes.
    it works by comparing your music to the whole iTunes music dadata base so you access the same tunes that you could get from iTunes. If you have obscure stuff, it uploads your own music to the cloud as a copy.
    I Find it incredible that on my iPhone with its 16gb memory I can view almost 200 gb of music (ie my 23000 songs) and play any of them. Anything I add to iTunes becomes available via the cloud fairly quickly from a few minutes or a little longer if adding a lot.
    The first time you use it it will take quite a while to match your music if you have a lot, but after that it is all automatic. Read the stuff on the apple site. Your PC needs to be at least running Vista. I recommend it and at less than 50p a week it's good value.
    Good luck

    Hello cor-el, thanks for your reply. I changed my settings for downloads to desktop and it has appeared on there. When I double click I am asked which program I want to open file. I click firefox and another box "opening install" says I have chosen to open the file which is an application and do I want to save it. This is the only real option so I press save file. I get a box saying this is an executable file which may contain viruses - do you want to run. I press ok and the final box showing C drive file name and desktop appears stating application not found.
    This happens the same whenever I try to install.
    To my untrained eye the application is not being recognised as an application and I cannot work out how to get it to do that.
    My plugin is still showing as out of date.
    Is there anything you could suggest. Thanks for your time.

    Hi Moe,
    Sounds mostly likje a bad KB, do you have another to test with?
    Or...
    One way to test is to Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, Test for problem in Safe Mode...
    PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive
    Reboot, test again.
    If it only does it in Regular Boot, then it could be some hardware problem like Video card, (Quartz is turned off in Safe Mode), or Airport, or some USB or Firewire device, or 3rd party add-on, Check System Preferences>Accounts (Users & Groups in later OSX versions)>Login Items window to see if it or something relevant is listed.
    Check the System Preferences>Other Row, for 3rd party Pref Panes.
    Also look in these if they exist, some are invisible...
