I personally have a Raptor 10,00 RPM drive that has been partitioned to about 40GB for scratch and the rest for fast capture (its only a little faster at rendering previews). A raptor is almost as fast as 2 7200 RPM Drives Stripped and only requires one bay. I would like to get another raptor and stripe them but I have no bays left unless I convert my second dvd bay to a hard drive tray. You can also stripe drives (RAID 0) using the disk utility.

Thu, 01 Oct 2009 06:09:56 +0000 http://www.mndigitechs.org/blog/?p=653#comment-70 Ive been trying to remember that one, awesome. Up till now Ive been doing the 3 step: select all layers, duplicate, command E to merge duplicate layers. From there Ill do a selection then copy paste and transform. I use command T then hold down control to activate contextual menu which lets me flip between scale, warp, skew, perspective or whatever. I like that one too.. Command I to Invert Command Shift U to desaturate type 5 while on a layer to change it to 50% opacity and of course the old command shift N for a new blank layer Ive been trying to remember that one, awesome.

I never use them... just learn the shortcut! Faster, more consistent place for your hands to be, works without any customization. I don't use the Wacom mouse because I don't like having to stay on the pad with a mouse. I put the keyboard on the left, pad on the right, regular laser mouse above the pad. Shift+Opt+Command+E: copy merged. There's no button for it, and I use it all the time. I’m not saying the Wacom pad is worthless, just the little customizable buttons on the side.
