Recommend a computer for a web graphic artist/designer?

What Dell desktop model would you recommend for a web graphic artist/designer? What are the options and what screen? Please note that things are essential and which are nice luxuries.

Thank you!

Haha, I was JUST talking to a friend who wants to use the blender for animation work & a PC (or Mac since it has debate between them) for him. She is a computer laptop 17 "who want to, but I think you want a desktop computer, Yes?

If so I have set up this Studio XPS 7100 for you real quick.
Phenom II X 4 820 + ATI Radeon HD 5450 1 GB
-[Change of the 945 CPU series for $40]-
-[Change the combo CPU/GPU for the Phenom II X 4 820 + Radeon HD5770 for $130].
-[Change the combo CPU/GPU for the Phenom II X 4 945 + Radeon HD5770 for $170]-
4 GB RAM DDR3
750 GB HARD drive (get twice the space, 1.5 to, for $100 more)
No WiFi [add WiFi-N for $40]
$739,99

Or an Inspiron desktop PC - 580 is a good choice:

Core i5-750 (no upgrade option)
ATI Radeon HD 5450 1 GB of DDR3 memory (no upgrade option)
4 GB RAM DDR3
750 GB HARD drive (more great option is 1.5 TB for $60)
No WiFi option
$649.99
I think you're going after the Studio XPS for two reasons: 1) it is their more "professional" series without being in the category of small businesses. And (2) Sudio XPS [IMHO & encompassing experience] have hardware failures less than any other brand Dell - except perhaps Alienware. But if they fail they break hard [as at the most $$$ + time of difficulty].

Doesn't include no guarantees or additional software (office, programs Adobe, etc.).

A little more in detail about my choice:
AMD Phenom II X 4 CPU work comparable to the Core i5 series - usually, the differences being between 3 and 5% in various tasks (except games) according to hardwaresecrets.com - in order not to sweat a significant difference in performance. For what you do, being for the most intensive graphics, I can't say that your CPU will take into account as well.

My concern is bridge - not being is not familiar with it, I had to do a little research. It is certainly more time intensive GPU CPU. So based on the measure you use it you might otherwise. Which can be discussed if needed.

Speaking of graphics, the ATI Radeon HD 5450 is a 1 GB model. By design, it is better to have a bigger framebuffer (in other words, the video RAM) and a fast GPU. Games & video encoding hardcore would benefit more from that. Of course, feel free to upgrade the processor in the Studio - you are not able to do in the initial configuration of the Inspiron 580 on the site. But it can always been done later, if necessary.

Finally, I would state that it is both moderately specc'd had systems. It will last you a few years in terms of decent performance. After that I'm sure Adobe CS 6 or 7 will have new encoding software to take advantage of the new new equipment manufacturers. If you are looking for something that will last longer... well consider a bigger budget [I don't know what yours is] & factor something like a Core i7, 8 GB of RAM (at least) and an ATI 5770 in there with the larger hard drive, you can manage.

I'll be happy to help you more, if you ask. Just after once you have read this.

  • Need settings for base color for the Web (graphic) design

    Ok... I know there are 1 million different threads on the topic and found confused me too much on the subject.

    I'm looking for just standard (not detailed) on setting up the color scheme in photoshop CS5 to design my web graphics.

    I work for a small business that color management is not a huge problem, but want to start somewhere.  And if someone can give me the web layout of basic color settings (maybe even a palette download link) for the PS to help me get started, it would help a lot!

    I would first profile your gamma of 2.2 the monitor profile. D65/6500 or point native white.

    A package of material is recommended for this task (a washer that reads the screen).

    So try these settings in Photoshop (Edit > color settings):

    Try these settings and save it with a unique name.

    These settings will give you a warning dialog opening if your file does not have an embedded ICC profile, or if the profile is different from that of sRGB.

    Always 'Use embedded profile' and then convert to sRGB when necessary.

    If your file does not have an embedded profile, Edit > assign profile (sRGB is a good try, then Adobe RGB, ProphotoRGB...)

    Leave your setting Save For Web (SFW) by default.

    This will automatically convert sRGB and the profile of the band...

    I'd take a peek at Photoshop or Illustrator.

    Photoshop is a pixel based image editing program that is well suited for creating and editing digital images, especially photographs.

    Illustrator is a vector program that is great if you want to create vector graphics based that you can scale up without loss of resolution, for example, a logo.

    What you choose really depends on your needs and knowledge if you create bitmap images or vector.

  • What are the recommended settings for the export of photos for the web?

    I am a photographer, if the images would be used for my blog... and still need of decent looks.
    They are also the images that I approach clients, again, they need for decent, but would be the right size for the web.
    I played a bit, and when we maintain quality"to 100%, but the setting at 72 dpi, the image remains the same size at 300 dpi.
    So I got the quality up to 50%, but even slight vignetting seemed absolutely horrible. (Highly visible sections of different colors.)
    So now I'm stuck.
    72 dpi and 300 dpi made no difference in size (cannot explain this one.)
    100% quality seemed fine but was too big for the web.
    50% quality was mediocre at best.
    Any suggestions? What is the standard practice?
    Thanks in advance.

    I would use a quality of 70-80 and also resize the image under 'Image size' for example, you pick a long edge of (for example) 1200 pixels.

    The ppi (dpi not) makes absolutely no difference, it's completely out of words and useless in this situation, as you found it. Just ignore it.

  • Replacement for HPE-210y graphics card

    Hello

    I posted a question earlier about a possible replacement for a card mother 'death', but it turns out that the motherboard works fine.  Good thing I had checked it by another technician, and it turns out that the problem is the dedicated Radeon HD5450 card.  Now I use my computer via the integrated graphics card.

    I searched the Forum but can't find anything specific on the model of my computer.  I don't plan to upgrade the power supply at the present time (300w).  My question is, what is a better alternative for the Radeon HD5450 without upgrading PSU?  In addition, the included graphics card is 512 MB.  Can I use the HD5450 1 GB?  Any brand will be allowed until the GPU is the HD5450?

    Sorry, I'm a little rusty on this thing so I ask your indulgence.

    Thanks in advance.

    I want to just update just in case anyone else needs help.

    Went to BestBuy and scout autour for graphics card.  I saw a VisionTek Radeon HD 5670 with 2 GB of DDR3 memory and check his power.  He said the area "300 Watt or higher recommended power" so I picked up and tried to install it on my machine.  Now my PC runs great!  My performance index Windows have increased from 5.0 to 5.9.  My old WEI is based on the rating that was the lowest graphics.  Now, it is based on the main hard drive. The rated current graphics and graphical games of my system is two 6,7.  So, I guess they will do for most games.

    Hope this helps others who face the same problem I did.  I just hope that the power supply is really enough.

  • What is the best way to keep the high resolution when recording "for the web".

    the files that I save to the web so I can get them in jpg (or gif) are coming very pixelated.  That's when I print the image.

    What is the best way to save for the web, an image and keep the good resolution.

    using a business card template.  template Avery will allow me to attach images I want to project.  to do this...  I 'get file computer' and it deletes the image in but real little... then you are supposed to expand on your work as you want.  Well, when I enlarge this image file, it gets pixelated bad.  I think it's the way that I am saving it.  I do not adjust anything when I save.  Maybe I should.  This is where I need advice.

    That's what avery model notes on the images, I am allowed to use - when downloading the image, the maximum allowed size is 4 MB.  You can download the JPG and PNG RGB or CMYK images.  so when you recommend things, can you please take this into account

    Thanks for oyur times.

    Aida,.

    When you register with the default template using save for web, it's usually a setting very low.

    While in the registration window, you can set the size in pixels of the image you want with the quality and the resolution too.

  • Best video for the Web?

    I created a site offering artists around my city. The most important thing is the videos and that's what I have a problem with. Can you help me?

    I started with the flv files swf turned and who was allowed. The problem was he wouldn't play on IPAD and other devices.

    So, I read online that a mov or mp4 file was good. Today, I received so many responses from those who said that the video is so slow that they have not even watch.

    I tried to increase my size to a size close to youtube, so it was more visible then my first posts.

    The site is

    www.adamsstreetsessions.com

    Thanks in advance

    . FLV is currently the best format of video container for the Web...

    As a rescue use swfobject for Flash detection and provide a .mov as ALT content file

    Link to swfobject:

    Sample .flv video that plays on the iPhone:

    relief is .mov file. View the source code to see how it works.

    A potential problem of slow download .mov files is if the moov atom is at the end of the file rather than the beginning... Hey, I don't do this kind of things, I just tell you about it. The download is not slow, it's just that the entire file has download before he plays. If the moov atom is at the end of the file, the full .mov file must be downloaded before the video starts to play. It will be not progressive download as an .flv file (another reason why .flv is the video container of choice).

    You can restructure the .mov files are needed by using QuickTime Pro, and save as.

    If the video bitrate and/or the size is a problem, investigate it to an old post:

    Video bitrate

    One of the principle of goal setting is to "begin with the end in mind". In this case, it will be very difficult to give good recommendations because the end is not defined. So I'll just make a few assumptions and you can correct me if necessary.
    First, I'll assume that you convert Flash, whether you want to broadcast this video on the Internet. If that's true, then going to make some assumptions about your potential viewers Internet connection download speeds. Let's just say that most have at least a 1.5 MB connection or faster.
    OK, that would mean that a video bitrate of half that generally provide a video download that is not interupped by the buffering (most of the time anyway). So assuming a video bitrate of 750 kbps, what would be the optimal display size?
    Before decide us, here's a little info on the bitrate. To read more high quality, the bitrate of the video is directly related to the size of the screen. In other words, more display, incoming data more are needed to correctly display the video. Think of bitrate in terms of a can of paint. If you have 1 quart of paint, you might be able to do a very nice job on an area of 32 X 24 feet. But if you try to stretch the same amount of paint on a surface area of 64 X 48 feet, the coverage is not as good and you get mediocre results.
    Similarly, a video display to 640 X 480 pixels will require 4 times the baud rate as a video displayed at 320 X 240 pixels to produce the same quality. Thus, for example, a video with a speed of 100 kbps, 160 X 120 displayed will produce the same quality results as a video with a bitrate of 1600 kb/s is displayed in 640 X 480.
    So, to sum it all, 750 Kbps, even up to 1000 kbps video rates can usually get delivered high-speed Internet on most connections. Higher rates may work for connections very fast but will cause problems for viewers with slower connections. Video display size has a direct impact on the final quality. In the range of 750 to 1000 Kbps, display size should be maintained around 450 or 500 width max (and whatever the height proportions claims). Yes it can be displayed larger, but the quality will suffer.
    Sounds like the audio settings are fine, especially for delivery on the Internet.
    Regarding the framerate, maintain the framerate video original raw for best results. Therefore, if the clip was shot at 24 frames per second, let him.
    In regards to video converters, you have the Flash 8 Video Converter? It works very well for the video to be delivered over the Internet. Don't forget, you're taking a Cadillac of video (h.264 HD) version and cram into a Chevy body so he can work on the Internet.

    I managed to install the game but I can not play.
    My graphics card is Trident Cyberaladdin T.g.f.o.p. summer HARVEST game producer told me that it is compatible. I tried to find the drivers but I did not find anything effective. On toshiba site there a driver but enough old (preceding the date that I bought the computer...)
    I put (t knox what to do and my son is very disappointed because he can't play with this new game.
    Thanks for your quick response.

    Hello

    As a first step, it would be interesting to know to what operating system your need for this driver? ;)

    Well this Chipset Trident CyberALADDiN-T (called Napa2T) was built in three Types of Toshiba laptops.

    The 6000 Satellite TE2000 and Satellite 6050. (Driverversion all with Version 5.01.2527.0128)

    Normally the drivers that you will find on the Pages of the manufacturer are not the real drivers. Only they are updating the drivers if there are known issues.

    So the only chance for you is to look threw the internet and look if someone else has used this graphics chip and offer are a newer driver than Toshiba.

    Sorry for the response, but I had the same problem with my Machine, but is a more recent revision of driver on another page of manufacturer.

    Good bye

  • Compaq Presario SR1619UK: Need to be able to provide information for installing a graphics card

    Hello, everyone.

    I have inherited a HP/Compaq Presario SR1619UK recently and think to install a new graphics card to replace the ATI Radeon Xpress 200 integrated chipset. What I need to know is this: -.

    I have searched all over the pages of the specification and support and can not find ANYWHERE, any information on the feeding on this model (output in watts) output.

    How much power do the PCI slots of power?

    I don't want a top-of-range for the games graphics card, or lots of work video (I'm in my early 50 years); what I'm after is a decent graphics, which will give me good screen resolution and behavior when you work with the Adobe PhotoShop & CreativeSuite. That's why I want to know what is the amount of power the power supplies supply actually... This is quite an old model, probably, it will provide no schedule for a graphics card powerful card... and this isn't what I'm looking for, anyway.

    Any help with this information would be much appreciated.

    Life is what you make...
    *****************************
    You can only be sure of three things in life; birth, death, and taxes; Hah!

    Hello

    Open the PC and read the label on the power supply.  What is the total power? I suspect not over 300 watts.

    The site in the past has posted Adobe recommended and certified cards video for products Adobe.  Look at what Adobe has published.

    Study it released a Guide to selection of a discrete graphics card.

    http://h30434.www3.HP.com/T5/desktop-hardware/Guide-for-selecting-a-discrete-video-card/TD-p/1299011

    Features of the power supply are a slipperly slope. Rated efficiency will go down with age and power more old supplies are not very effective. Not all the PSUs being manufacutered are quality power supplies.  In addition, manufactuers video card take into consideration a lot of information including the many unknowns that might exist with PCs when they specify the size of power minimum recommended power supply.
