Q. What laptop computer is best for installing adobe photoshop,premiere, alias maya, etc,used for graphic design? i'm planning to buy one so that i'll be able to work while on the road.
between Dell, Fujitsu and Neo, which laptop is best for installing graphic design software like adobe photoshop, premeire and Alias Maya?
A. I would never recommend a portable system for graphics purposes. The real problem is that the size of the monitor is severely limited, making real, detailed graphics work more difficult.
But, that is just my opinion. I also recognize that there are a lot of legitimate reasons some people NEED to install graphics apps into a laptop or notebook. For examples, folks that can't afford to maintain two separate systems, a desktop and a portable. There are students that need to keep their schoolwork, homework and other accoutrements at their side 24/7. And, such as yourself that will be doing work on the road.
So, with that, the only advice I can offer is to buy the one with the best raw processor speed, the most ram and the biggest hard drive you can afford. If you will also be interfacing with other units, especially with your home desktop, you will need connectivity or some other way of transfering data. I suggest you remain versitile by making sure your portable has a fast USB connection and a good CD or DVD burner. And of those two, I recommend the DVD burner because you can use it to back up and archive your hard drive. Graphics take up a LOT of space, so even the big hard drives fill up fast and you don't want old files clogging up your system.
And finally, what I think might be the most important feature: Get the one with the BIGGEST monitor you can find. You are NEVER going to get a good color match for print jobs with LCD screens, so, don't worry about that. You will need a BIG, bright screen to work with. You can always make color adjustments later, when getting ready to print.
how to tilt the laptop screen to get true color in photography?
Q. I'm just starting out in learning photoshop to edit my photos. I only have a laptop and depending on how far forward or backward I put the screen it changes the colors dramatically. At what position should the screen be to show the true color so that it prints the same as I see it on the screen. FYI I have already color calibrated. Thanks!
A. Only when you're dead square onto it will the colour be right, you can always connect an old big, heavy, bulky CRT (Cathode Ray Tube) monitor to it and not have any problems very cheaply, even free these days. Calibrated it will give you truer, brighter colour.
You have to spend a lot of money to get even close the the accuracy and quality of the CRT image with an LCD monitor.
