Hello Joe, nice looking video, I’ve never tried doing HDR plus flash, generally just Flambient You asked about the Mac, I bought the 14 inch M1 with 16 gigs of ram and it’s plenty fast enough running Photoshop and Lightroom and other programs at the same time, I never have to wait. If I had to do it over again, I would absolutely go with 32 gigs of ram. So if you have a choice, and need to save some money, instead of the M2 or M3, go with the M1, but buy 32 gigs of ram.
@@joefoto I got a M1 Macbook with 1TB and 32 GB of Ram with 16 gpu and 8:2 effeciency core. it so far is a beast and have no problem with lightroom, photoshop, final cut pro open at once lol. The m2 chip is known for overheating from my research or at least getting warm
How ever much I need to expose for windows. If there are no windows in my frame, just enough to eliminate any over exposed areas around lights. That's it.
I have no doubt the M2 will run faster. While I’m doing all of my work on Lightroom and Photoshop, I probably have 15 tabs open in Safari because I don’t want to close them. So the speed is really quite good but if you want to use it more, absolutely go for the M2. but the big thing to slow this computer down is the amount of RAM. 16 is just not enough.
Hi Joe! One thing I’ve noticed again in your video is the tabs that are open in Photoshop when you’re editing the layers. It looks like there’s seven or eight tiff files that are open. In windows those files are usually around 120 MB. So leaving them open eats up a lot of your ram. After saving the file each time back to Lightroom just close it out and it will close the file so the next time you bring layers in it won’t be hanging around up in the upper part of the screen and using your memory.
You asked about the computer that we use. I have never had a Mac product. The last computer I bought was an older HP desktop. I got it on eBay for about $120. By the time I put in an SSD drive and 32 gigs of memory and a 500 GB Drive which snaps right into the motherboard, I was around $250. It screams! To take two or three layers into Photoshop from light room takes two or three seconds. And when I save the file, it takes two or three seconds back to light room. The applications work the same on a Mac or PC, but there’s a big difference in the price between a windows desktop and a new MacBook.
Really good and useful tutorials, earned yourself a sub👍
Awesome! Thank you!

Ok. Good to know. I'm also a video editor too so I wonder if the m2 works be better?

The mac studio is a MASSIVE upgrade over the MacBooks. Been incredible for me
Good to know. Thank you!
How much do you typically find yourself dropping the exposure, if at all, before your flash pops? 2 stops? None?

@@joefotoI learned from another RUclipsr, just to set it @100…works well for my needs…
Why earlier you used color mode, but now you returned to luminosity mode ?
Depends on if I want to use flash layer as base layer or ambient layer. Color mode on flash layer does same thing as luminosity on ambient layer.
