Switching From Windows to Mac
Switching from Windows to Mac happened for me over 20 years ago. I was a diehard Windows user with no interest in moving to the Mac platform. Then Apple developed Aperture, and the hook was officially set. At the time, Lightroom didn’t exist, and I was juggling a hodgepodge of…
