Good to hear about your switch to Apple. I think in the long run you’ll be very happy. I know I have been. I’m currently working on a Blog piece on some little known tricks and tips for those who have come to the Mac via Microsoft. I have to admit that there are a few things Apple does quite differently and if you are unaware of these differences you can become frustrated.

First, if you are using a laptop I suggest you review the Trackpad options in the Preferences settings. To get there you go to the Apple logo in the upper left of your screen. Click on the Apple, a drop down menu appears. Select System Preferences. A window appears and in the second row from the top is an icon that says Trackpad. click on Trackpad. Here you will see options to make changes to how your trackpad behaves. The key to this window is you can run your cursor over any option and hover it there. By leaving the cursor on each option a video appears to show you what that particular option does and how to use the trackpad to make it happen. It’s a great tutorial and there are many different uses for the trackpad you don’t have in the windows system or at least you don’t have knowledge about. Here you can find out what the options do before changing them.

Look for my Microsoft to Apple switching tips that should be out in a week or two here on the Blog. And drop me a note if you have any further questions.

After years of PC I have just yesterday purchased a Mac Book Pro and have downloaded Aperture. Do you have any suggestions for a monitor calibration software? In the past I have used Spyder.

The changeover will delay sending India photos.

Thanks,
