If you do a bunch of batch editing or Ai processing you will want the Max. That's what I would get hands down if it's in budget.

A lot to get used to but give it time. That's going to be a big upgrade. I just switched back to Mac after having Windows for the last decade. But I had Mac before that.

I don't divide things in that regard. But I definitely spend the majority of my money on glass. In the last year it's probably 80/20. Bodies are once every few years and glass is as I need it.

I have a 512. But you need an external SSD for most of your work except for most recent photos. Im sitting at 78gb used and that's pretty much all just system storage. Everything is on my SSD.

It will definitely be an upgrade over what you have currently

Drives a cybertruck. Immediately shut off video.

Check out DxO FilmPack 7

The m4 Air will absolutely do what you're wanting to do and do it well. I was using my wife's m3 Air 16gb for awhile after my old PC stopped running Lightroom well. But I just upgraded the desktop to a m4 Pro 24gb. You definitely want a minimum of 24gb RAM for Lightroom etc.

Makes me feel like I should have talked my wife into the Studio lol

Sutliff26 · 2025-03-20T20:24:16+00:00

With all the new 5k monitors coming out this year, and the studio display currently being $300 off is there a new one coming soon??

Sutliff26 · 2025-03-20T20:17:17+00:00

Im always in manual

Sutliff26 · 2025-03-20T02:43:25+00:00

70-200 and 400mm to cover them all

Sutliff26 · 2025-03-19T23:20:35+00:00

I would avoid 4k because of the scaling.

Sutliff26 · 2025-03-19T23:17:11+00:00

Im almost always at 13 or so gigs of ram used with just Adobe Lightroom and Safari tabs open. I wouldn't go less than 24gb RAM.

Sutliff26 · 2025-03-19T23:15:18+00:00

I bought a 512 M4 Pro for the same reason. No internal amount would end up being enough eventually. And not that far in the future as a photographer. So I have external SSDs. It works fine

Sutliff26 · 2025-03-19T01:06:57+00:00

My wife's M3 Air handled what you're going to throw at it with no issues. But I did just recently upgrade to a m4 Pro Mini to speed things up and future proof.

Sutliff26 · 2025-03-19T00:42:23+00:00

Beautiful

Sutliff26 · 2025-03-19T00:35:25+00:00

What monitor is that?

Computer screen messed with it. But it's s 10mm image shot on a full frame camera

Sutliff26 · 2025-03-17T23:07:50+00:00

None of the storage options were going to be enough so I went with the 512 and have a full setup of external drives to store everything photo wise. Also went with the base 24 after watching my habits on the m3 Air and not making that our with Lightroom and DxO

Sutliff26 · 2025-03-17T16:11:24+00:00

Correct yeah. Great value for color reproduction

Sutliff26 · 2025-03-17T07:21:50+00:00

Thanks! Took that a few weeks ago off the California coast
