Solved: MAC to PC
Hi,

Firstly i know very little about MAC's, give me a PC anyday, however i respect the fact that a MAC does have some advantages over a PC.

My question is is it possible to take images created on a MAC that are put on a pocket hard disk transferable to a PC. If so, is there anything that is requried in regards to conversion from MAC to PC?

Thanks

More information is required. At the very least we'll need to know in what format will these "images" be created.

JPG? GIF? TIFF? BMP? EPS? IMG? PDF? PNG? PSD? Etc.?

No apology necessary. More info = better help.

The above is correct. JPG and TIFF formats are not platform-dependent file types. You'll have no trouble with either.

Any "PC" formatted media will work just fine for transfer. As a matter of fact, you can also burn a CD with the native burning utility and it will read in a PC.... oh and please, Mac not MAC, MAC is an address..... just having fun don't mind me...

Also if you have one of those USB dongle drives those are the easiest to deal with.
