The best monitor for Photo editing?

I'm about to invest new 24' monitor but still can't decide what monitor should I expect. Can anyone recommend that won't break the Bank? I am a freelance photographer and most of my work more portrait and wedding and I only do it for part time. Here is my list of shooting

  1. Reference Dell U2412M
  2. HP ZR2440w
  3. ASUS PA248Q
  4. Dell U2410

I guess that the OP refers to the use of range wide screen with LR, if relevant.

If you print to a printer range inkjet (6 or more inks) that from a wide range will be useful. It will not provide a color accuracy much better than a gamut sRGB for web, screen and printing to standard printers of 4 CMYK inks. With the LR4 test function, you can get a rendering to the very accurate display of what the final output will look like using the target printer and paper profile.

Range wide display will not render color correctly with most web browsers and other applications run without colors. For this reason, I also suggest using a dual display configuration with a standard screen of the sRGB gamut and a screen wide gamut.

Also be aware that 10 bits/color will give the best rendering gradients very well on wide gamut displays, but LR currently supported only the outputs on 8-bit display / color. Only PS CS4 - CS6 support 10bits color output display. You must also use a graphics card which supports 10/bit color and compatible with PS.

If you don't fully understand the differences between a range and gamut standard (sRGB) screen I suggest doing some research. Also search in this forum and the Web for customers on the screens you are considering. There has been many problems with calibration some views of wide range of model.

    What is the best for the photos? The HP ScanJet Flatbed 300 or the HP Photosmart 6520 device?

    I have several old black & white photos I want to scan and then upload to Blurb to make an album. I want just the best scanner because the quality, old photos is pretty terrible. A recommendation please! Mark

    Hello

    Normally the scanner is better than the scan on a printer AiO funtion. If you want to use only SCAN function, the 300 Scanjet is much better than the AiO 6520 and LESS hassle than the AiO.

  • What is the best laptop for video editing that task my money?

    Hello

    I have Lenovo laptop, I used it for 5 years, until now, I see that it is not good enough to make the work of video editing. So now I think to buy a new laptop for this case, but I am not confident about my knowledge on the area of the laptop. Everyone here knows or has a good knowledge on laptop, please give me a serious opinion, thank you.

    Hi jespong,

    Thanks for posting.

    The first starting point would be to look at the minimum specifications required by the video editing program, and then start looking for laptops with these specifications.  Then look for those that have the best specifications requested by the program and settle for something in between.

    According to your budget, it would be better to buy something that has more than request the program you always want to have the best.

    Kind regards

  • DPS: Judge to use the parameter Raster or vector in the States of the objects when the majority of the page is a photo. What is the best setting for the overall performance?

    I am trying to decide whether to use the parameter Raster or vector in the States of the object when the majority of the screen is a picture (with a modest but important legend for children to read). The legend certainly makes it look more net as vector. But does the photo! The raster setting seems to make the lower-res images in comparison. In my first edition of my application, I thought that raster would be the best setting when the photo was the subject dominating the page. But now, after seeing how strong he looks like vector, (but with almost a refresh of the unacceptable time. Perhaps better on the latest iPad. Most of my readers/students in class will use iPad 2 s, which has a slower processor). I wonder if I should go through the trouble of changing States of photo objects that have the type as well to the vector. It doesn't seem to be as sensitive to a re - draw on the iPad 2 (non-retine)

    Is Filesize hit if I make about 1200 on these objects range from Raster to vector? (It is a huge, highly interactive history book, so I'm curious if acutally go to vector on these photos would reduce the size of the file) What is the best setting for the overall performance?

    I see the freeks screen outside for a bit if you try to pinch and zoom in a vector object (photo) vs raster. Which is disappointing. Does slow down load time/refreshment in frame, which is a little less. I also found that the drop shadows really bad that redraws effect in vector, almost vibrating in a slide show, for example. Thus, in cases where I need shadows, I'm sticking with Raster.

    All tips go ahead?

  • The upgrade of my desktop pc from HP a1540n for photo editing

    Hi all

    I am currently running Win XP SP2 on desktop HP a1540n; System specs are here:

    http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c00679533

    After you have maxed out my RAM (4x1Go), the system has worked well for me for about 4 years.  However, I'll buy a new 36 MP digital camera and need to upgrade the operating system to a minimum (for Vista or Windows 7) to take over some of s/w that I use for photo editing. At the same time, I am considering a few hardware upgrades as well to improve the speed of the system (I work with large files).

    I'm looking for options in order to make the system work and, if $ allow to improve performance.  I would like some advice on whether if it is worth upgrading the hardware or just bite the bullet and withdraw from the newer system for somethng.

    Option 1: OS upgrade only, pref for Win 7; cost: ~ $140

    Option 2: upgrade MB (with processor), optionally add a video card. upgrade cost:?

    Option 3: new system; cost: ~ $1000.

    Option 2 makes any sense?  So I hate to waste the old h/w, I'm not sure whether this option is profitable.  Can the remaining material (power supply, etc.) support and are working properly with the motherboard more recent or other improvements will be necessary as well (in addition to the OS)?  I will be attaching multiple drives (some new, some existing); a new MB give me USB3 ability, or is it a separate addon?

    All advice/recommendations would be appreciated...

    -Rob

    Rob, welcome to the forum.

    This is one of the most difficult situations to address.  The upgrade can be a good option if the original components are even more recent.  However, a computer that is 6 years old becomes a dinosaur.  As a result, purchase new may be a much better option.  If you can afford the $1,000, I think you would advance money.

  • Best monitor for graphics

    Would love to hear what everyone uses for graphic design with printing/editing in mind. I am new looking for monitors.

    Unfortunately, it is a very subjective topic. It also gets stale quickly too, as the new monitors are always happen. You can search the Internet for information on computer screens video editors want to use especially. Here are some examples for beginning 2013:

    Many publishers as the HP Dreamcolor, here is an article that describes how to set up.

    Many video editors pro uses a second 'critical color' broadcast monitor for classification and putting in place the best broadcast signal. Why?

    • A computer screen won't show interlacing.
    • A computer screen cannot be properly calibrated for the broadcast.
    • A computer monitor may not show an accurate representation of the framerate (for example to change a sequence of 24 p while controlling 29.97).
    • Without a monitor, you can not accurately gauge quality (for the scaling, etc.).

  • Please correct the function map for photo albums in Photos

    Dear Apple people - difficulty please please the function map for photos in photo books. I loved the features of cards in iPhoto, so why go to all the trouble of screwing up so royally in Photos v1.5? A few examples at random: instead of being able to type a place name and have the program to find the place for you, must now click on the + sign, then a red dot appears in a place at random (as in the middle of the Tasman Sea), and we can then move the red dot at the location you want (after first checking a different map to determine the correct location of the place you mean - Port Douglas Australia for example). A colossal waste of time. Or how about this: it takes an hour to put the plan in place so, then closes the program. At the next opening it, found the red dots have all migrated to odd locations around the map, bearing no resemblance to where they were placed at the origin. Once again, a huge waste of time. And it's only two of many examples.

    Please, I beg you, bring back the features of cards in iPhoto!

    1 - Apple isn't here - it is strictly a user to user forum

    2 - person here can fix anything

    3. you can certainly type the names of places with pictures - using Photos (a great place to get help with Photos)

You cannot assign a location if your computer is not connected to the Internet

    4 - If you want to discuss the Photos it is best to post in the forum Photos rather than the abandoned iPhoto product forum - I would ask that this be moved

    Thank you, Zara3511

    A discreet (dedicated) video card is not necessary. You can always add more later if you need the extra graphics power. Its not harmful if you perform a task such as photos and videos. Benefits is its great for games top of range and can future proof your system. If you are working in Photoshop, certainly invest in the discrete video card. Photoshop she likes it.

  • Is EXFAT the best option for me

    Hi, I bought a new WD 2 TB HDD to use to copy my edited video files on FCP and many other forms of data from my Mac on this disc. I want to use with Time Machine at the same time. I also want to be able to use it with Windows to read & write on both the Windows operating system and Mac OS anytime. EXFAT is the best option for me or are there restrictions?

    Thank you.

    Yyes, if you want to use with Windows. Use a separate drive for Time Machine. Whose combined libraries of the PCF and Time Machine on the same drive.
