I detested spotting and lacked the patience to acquire the skill. I got religious about cleaning my negs when printing and using a loop to check for any dust. Stitch in time saves nine!

I use an MBP 16" M1 Max. I bought it with 32gb of ram and never had a hitch in Adobe LR or PS or FinalCut, but when I bought it, all the research I read recommended a minimum of 16GBs bare minimum for any sort of PS & Light Room. I'm surprised you were told 8GB would work. A refurbed MBP M1 or M2 Max with 32 should do quite well. If I was a professional, I would probably even get 64GB, but I've done a couple of weddings working with hundreds of images and not had a hiccup so 32 GB seems to be a sweet spot for price/performance. But you can never have too much ram, basically.

Really interesting Sanford. Here's L.A. with a film Leica.

Yeah I'd say so unless you're running older versions of PS and other programs.

I thinkI like the original due to the continuation of the staircase provides a nice graceful curve for the eye to follow and adds a little dynamism in the composition.
