What is the best computer/monitor to buy for processing digital photogaphs?
Yes, I know…”the best you can afford”. Aside from that, are there monitors that more realistically depict the printed photograph? Are there hard drives that cater to photography (and do all the rest of it too…)? Websites I should check out? Thanks.
Well “I dont know” just dont cut it does it.
What you want to look for is a monitor with a good contrast. I dont know the exact terminology but there are monitors out there that have more shades of grey than others. Go to a decent computer shop and ask about differences in contrast. Probably a LCD monitor. Theres also ways to calibrate your existing monitor.
Follow the link bellow. Its actually a scanner calibration tool but it will let you calibrate your monitor just fine.
Scroll to the bottom of the page and look at the “Reflection Scales” pic. At the bottom of that pic you should see a sliding scale going from white to black. You should see color gradients or steps evenly from one side to the other. If you have one end or the other all blurring solid adjust your contrast and brightness on your monitor until you get the clearest result. The monitor you have might be good enough.
