I just replyed to Dougs thread on what system everyone is using now. I started thinking about the first system that I used for photo editng and wondered how I ever managed to get anything done with that dinosaur. It was an IBM. pent1 166mhz. 64 mgs of ram and a 2.5 gb hard drive and i ran photoshop 5.5 on it. my Question is what was your first photo editing system?

My first photo editing system was the Kodak Premier back in 1990. It was a dedicated Hi end Retouching machine. We had a Mac running beside it that was a Quadra 950 running Photoshop 2 I think. Now they were slow. I remember on the premier it used to post process the image so you would do the work and then stick it in a processing Q and it would do the number crunching, that gave us many chances to spend a lot of time in the pub next door. Fun times from what I can remember.

One moment... I've forgotten the model... It's down in the basement...
Mac LC 475
25MHz 68040 (same as the first NeXT I think)
Max 36MB RAM
I replaced the original (120?) disk with a 300MB
HP ScanJet IIcx that came with ... Taraaaaaa......!
Photoshop 2.5 LE
I actually bought an Apple 17" for it - 1024*768, not bad :-)
LC 475 introduced 1993.10.21 at $900; discontinued 1996.07.15
so I must have bought it in 1994 I guess.
