If you’re not a geek, ignore this post.

I wanted to share my new and improved workstation:

That lovely little device next to my Wacom tablet is my new X-keys desktop. I first saw one at a workshop over a year ago and the techie geek in me almost drooled on it.

But I held off and -  after many months of waffling - finally gave in and got one. What does it do? Well, it allows you to program keystrokes into macros that you execute with one little click of an X-key button. So all those photoshop tasks I have built into actions? One press of a button.

(ok, so I also have them set up as Fkeys and that was working fine, but I hated having to reach up to the keyboard all the time - it was wreaking havoc on my shoulder).

And it’s Heaven having R, X and P keys set up for my Lightroom work. Ahhh….

When Vic first saw it, he rolled his eyes (naturally), but hey - at least I showed some restraint and didn’t get the 58 key, right? It wouldn’t have fit on my tray anyway. ;)

    I *will not* let Karl see this. I already let him talk me into dual monitors!

    Looks really cool, I think? Yep, I’m not a geek, but I looked anyway!

    Lisa, I’m so impressed with you’re approach and admire your creative ability. You are truly gifted. I’m an inspiring photography and would love to see more post where you share the details of how you creat such beautiful images. I have the first question that I would love to see you response to in a post, and maybe present some examples. What lens are you using? Thanks…
