Digital BW, The Print

I am in the process of migrating to a Mac system from WinXP in order 
to use the Quadtone RIP. I have the RiP up and running and I am very 
pleased with it, couldn't be better. However this is not a easy 
path, my latest problem is when I tried to Install the Mac PS7 
upgrade. I find that Adobe will not accept my old Windows serial 
number. They want me to send them $149 bucks for a upgrade to the 
full version because my qualifing product is windows and not Mac 
serial! This is just plain silly when PS 8 is jsut around the 
corner. Much the same is true to use the RAW plugin, I have Elements 
installed on my Mac. This time they want me to send a letter of 
destruction, they will refund my money for the plugin and then I 
must purchase the MAC version....Silly or what.
Has anyone else found a easier way of migrating? 

Fustrated,

Barry

If you still own the xp box - do  your editing there (till PS8  
anyways). Send your print jobs to quad tone rip through the mac box.  
Printer sharing should be fairly straightforward through the mac.

There no way that you can send print from a windows pc to a mac, the RIP only wants 
to be on a local usb printer and not a networked printer as far as I can tell. 

I have solved the problem on a temp basis and am now able to load my PS7 upgrade 
on my Mac. Now all I have to do is wait for Adobe to sort out my Camera Raw Plugin, 
they have promised a refund on this, so that I can purchase the Mac edition, why the 
hell they couldn't simply exchange it is beyond me.

The RiP on the MAC is well worth it. But to say you can't hang OSX is not possible is 
BS. I have had Safari Help hang and not be able to quit it, not even with "Forced Quit" 
and try shutting down a network PC while the MAC is saving a file to it. The MAC will 
lock up and you can do nothing until the PC is powered up and the file save is 
completed. Still, the switch is well worth it if only to get rip of not having a Windows 
Registry. BTW  you better like "Dragging and Dropping" ! 
If I could get all of my apps in on the MAC I would dump the PC in a heartbeat, but 
the fact is that there are so many apps that are PC only I don't forsee any chance of 
doing this. So the MAC is gong to be my Photo Editing machine while the PC is going 
to be for everything else. I still have to find a simple and in expensive way of getting 
my Canon 10D files converted from RAW to tiff using the MAC.

If anyone wants a sample print from the 2200 printed via the Quadtone RIP  please 
contact me and I would be willing to mail one or ten if I recieve a stamped self 
addressed envelope.

You can use Canon's File Viewer Utility, but it is extremely slow.  You 
will also have to hack the Mac version of ACR to get it to recognize 
the 10D.

Check the mac.com web site for the announcement of the new MS Office 
for the MAC.  MS bought Virtual PC from Connectix.

The new Pro version of MS Office includes Virtual PC which puts Windows 
XP on the Mac.  I did not check to see if Virtual PC is still 
abvailabe.  I had the standalone version of Virtual PC on my G4 
originally and while it was a bit slow it worked.  With MS's direct 
input I suspect it will be significantly better.  I took it off because 
I needed more disk space on the Mac, but I plan to reinstall it so I 
can run Picture Window Pro 3.1.

The trick will be getting PWP to print to Gimp-Print so I can use 
QuadTone RIP.

The printer will be local USB - The mac should be able to share it.
You can also set up Gimp Print for ip printing.

Canon has a utility - file viewer utility. It is free but slow. try 
www.powershot.com for the download.

I have had the same thing with Quick Time. If I force quit a second 
time it works - don't know if that will help with Safari but it's worth 
a go.

The thought of having XP on a MAC is to much. Virtual PC is a emulator and I just 
can't see it being worth it, but I might give it a try. I think that I will stick to the two 
desktops for the moment. The MAC still has problems, for example try to import 
bookmarks to either IE5 or Safari once they  have been lanched for the first time! But 
there is no doubt "Once you have been MAC you never go back"

Regards

ps I recomend the publication " Switching to the MAC" The missing manual.....
