Fedora asked:
I’m buying my first laptop in a few days and I need to know which one is the best to get, considering all the software I want to download.
In that list it includes:
Photoshop CS3
Paint tool sai
Cyberlink Powerdirector
Corel Painter
And a few more programs along with the essentials(microsoft office, etc.)

So, what kind of laptop should I get?
Budget is $1000 although cheaper is better for my wallet. Thanks.

My planner wants to budget $750 for photography, but I was planning to budget 300-500 bucks (we’re in the age of digital cameras and easy-to-use editing software…). How much did you spend on your wedding?
PS: We only want about 100 good pics–Half formals, the other half candid and scenery pics.
Thanks!

Chris asked:
I am making an indie movie this summer. I am going to need special effects like muzzle flashes and bullet holes. I can’t afford pyrotechnics or anything and have pretty much no budget. I can’t spend $1000 on software so don’t suggest adobe. I was thinking of using Action Essentials 2 but don’t know what software it is compatible with it. I also need to be able edit and add titles. If you could suggest software to do this that would be great.

Mackster asked:
More specifically, would the equipment — processor, illustrator/paint software, scanner, printer, stylus pen to make 40″ X 40″ and smaller archival inkjet prints fall within approx. a $3000 startup budget? What about other costs such as archival inks, etc.? Can this type home based setup produce archival prints on 140 lb. rag and heavier paper? If anyone has had experience making these, would love to hear what all is involved including training needed up and above traditional painting/drawing in order to produce these prints.

I am thinking of writing, filming and editing an hour long (or maybe less) movie for a school personal project (Year 10/Sophomore Year), but I am not sure what equipment to use. I guess for editing software it is best that I use Sony Vegas or something, but the problem I am encountering is what camera to use. I have a fairly limited budget, so I doubt I would be able to use a professional camera, but I don’t want to be using a cheap camcorder as that would seem like a home movie, and I want it to at least look professional. I think it would be easiest if I used a camera that recorded on a Hard drive, so can anybody recommend a good camcorder for this project or if there are inexpensive film cameras available?

I am trying to buy more current software and deciding between Quickbooks Pro 2009 and Quickbooks Premier 2009. Because there is a $200 difference and I have a tight budget. I am thinking of buying Quickbooks Pro 2009. But I am not sure if Quickbooks Pro 2009 can read Quickbooks Premier 2006 documents. Appreciate your input!
