Hi all,

I just got my new Mac Book pro yesterday and I am excited (I had heard this a lot of times before and always thought what is it to be excited, but now when I have one, I know what is it to be excited for - more on it later)

Previously I had my Windows Laptop and my workflow used to be

1. Shoot in RAW
2. Download using DPP (I have Canon EOS 450D)
3. Correct White Balance in DPP
4. Correct Exposure in DPP
5. Export it in jpg
6. Edit it in Gimp (If I need to)
7. To send it to friends, resize it and then make a Picasa album to share

I know that for most of the work, Windows/Mac doesnot matter.

My question is, If I have to do it properly (as pro's do) and I want results like pros (on screen and in prints), what is the workflow?

iPhoto, is it good? Can it be used in place of DPP as it has many features that DPP has and more. iPhoto has Shadow recovery which DPP does not have (for eg).

It would be greately appreciated if some more light is thrown along the lines of colour calibrating monitors, colour profile etc.

Thanks
