Scenario
As a result of the great work you have done for the local council, your name has been passed on to a few other local businesses, as the person to ask with regard to any ICT based problems that they might have.

A local photographer has approached you about how he could use a computer to alter and enhance his photographs. He currently uses a film camera to take his photographs and at the moment has no plans to switch to a digital camera. He has heard that current technology allows him to be more productive, that he can capture images and can use software to manipulate these images and enhance their quality e.g. remove red eye, insert images over different back grounds, adjust colour and more. To save office space he also wants to store photographs electronically (both old and new).

He has been supplied with the following hardware and software specification and has asked you for advice on whether it will meet his needs. He also wishes to know if he will need to make any changes to the specification.
