Best laptop and monitor for the post-processing digital image

Hi all

I'm looking for advice on my best options for a new Dell laptop and the monitor.

Main use will be post processing of digital images using DxO 10 and Photoshop CS5.  Other I will use Word, Excel and internet access (for my WordPress web site and blog, the video/TV streaming and others).

Preliminary research suggests one of the Ultrasharp monitors is probably what I need.  I presume that would be connected via a docking station.  I'm also running backup on an external hard drive.

Most gifted in computer of friends tell me that my new laptop would have better I7 CPU, the more powerful video card stand-alone capable of handling the laptop sufficiently fast RAM, minimum USB3 ports and a HDMI connection.

I live in Australia and, of course, need suggestions for templates available there.  My budget is of roughly$ 2,500, but I could go a little higher if there is a compelling reason to do so.  While I do not have a lot of use of computing I am not very computer technical, where my request for advice.

Hi Donny54,

All Ultrasharp monitors works well for you. You will need to make sure that the laptop has a port for an external monitor or a docking station.

You should probably review the XPS laptops.

  • Best app for the batch processing of photos for the web?

    I would like to know what is the best application for batch processing photos for the web quickly and easily. I'm a web editor and often need to resize, compress, or crop several photos and would like a quick way to configure the basic parameters and processes for example 20 pictures at once. Basically, I'm looking for something with the ability to FastStone Photo Resizer (I'm on a Mac and cannot use FastStone). I remember an once suggested graphic designer LightRoom - would that be a good idea or Adobe has something else? Or maybe not Adobe at all?

    PhotoShop seems heavy for this purpose: it is ideal to make the photo woth that much at the time, but less large to do less with many pictures at once. I know that I can implement some sort of macro-thingie, but I would like to be able to quickly change settings such as the percentage of compression or the width in pixels.

    I don't need a lot of editing tools, mostly just work in pixels, resizing, compression or cropping and save for the web in .jpg and .png - and Mac.

    I hope someone here can guide me in the right direction.

  • who is the best printer and ink for printing on perforated vinyl

    who is the best printer and ink for printing on perforated vinyl

    Any printer would work with vinyl, but I would prefer a DESKJET with an ADF (ADF).

    Through ADF will send smoothly and does not deform as much. The printer without the charger can bend the vinyl a little and it can create bubbles in the computer. Hope this helps, thanks.

  • Which is the best graphic card (fromNvidia) for the first and after?

    Hello, that is the question.

    Which is the best graphic card (fromNvidia) for the first and after? In order to improve the performance of preview and rendering time.

    It's the Gtx 970 good enough? or do I have to go to the 980ti?

    Is there any other better Nvidia in both these needs?

    I have these specs and I work in Full HD:

    I7 4900, 32 GB of ddr3 memory, ssd.

    Thank you in advance.

    I don't know about these two maps first, but AE the GPU makes very little difference at all.

    The current version of AE uses the GPU to very little. The ray-traced rendering engine is the only great thing that AE uses the GPU and this feature is now considered obsolete.

    That being said, if you are using third-party plugins for AE using the GPU (as, for example), it's a different story. For the element, I heard that the 970 GTX is the best bang for your buck; the 980-up would not be worth the price difference.

    You must order a set of recovery disc for the computer from the manufacturer - this will install the appropriate drivers for your system automatically, as well as packaged applications.

    If you have not formatted the disk (or replaced) existing partition recovery may still be present - see your manual for details.

    It is possible to download Vista - see here for more details - http://www.heidoc.net/joomla/technology-science/microsoft/57-windows-vista-direct-download-links -, but note that it is not a simple process!

  • How can I fix lines horizontal randomly and glitter for the LCD screens for HP Pavilion dv5 Vista?

    How can I correct random lines horizontal and glitter for the LCD screens for windows vista HP Pavilion dv5? Only, it happens randomly and can get all a few minutes at a time every few hours. The entire screen white and black and horizontal lines will appear during the flickering on the half top of the screen only. Nothing else changes. My sound is immutable, and none of my screens change the size or location. However, they may appear up and down during the flashing. Can someone give me an idea of what is wrong? I looked on Google for possible corrections, but most of them seem to be for refresh rate and I don't have a notch for this and can't change it according to the steps they offer.

    Just before installing the new Acrobat without buying it. Your serial number will only be for 9.0.  And there will be no support, it was long after the end of life. Use your original disks.

  • How to set the date limit for the whole process

    How to configure dynamically.
    For example, the date limit is different in each case and can be defined by a user so changed in the middle.

    Published by: YE may 6, 2009 18:09

    The deadline for the whole process is determined by what you set the variable preset 'deadline '. This interval can be set inside the process as soon as the activity to Begin.

    To set differently for different instances use a time interval variable or a parameter of the company. Here is an example. You have different levels (SLA) different service level agreements in the category of customers. Platinum level customers are 2 days, gold-level clients are 4 customer days silver are six days. In a method, you then have the logic:

    if customer.level = "Platinum" then
        // DEADLINE_HOURS_PLATINUM is an integer Business Parameter set initially to 2 days
        deadline = 'now'.addHours(i : DEADLINE_HOURS_PLATINUM)
    elseif customer.level = "Gold" then
        deadline = 'now'.addHours(i : DEADLINE_HOURS_GOLD)
    elseif customer.level = "Silver" then
        deadline = 'now'.addHours(i : DEADLINE_HOURS_SILVER)
    else
        // no deadline for the process
        deadline = null
    end
    

    If make you a business setting, a business owner could change later ALS a developer need to change the process and by redeploying the it.

    If you want to use an instance time interval variable instead to do this, the logic would be just:

    deadline = 'now' + someTimeIntervalVariable
    

    Hope this helps,
