Thanks. The desktop was ordered with Windows 10 Pro, but my husband's laptop didn't have the option on the Dell site. I will look into upgrading it once it arrives.

The dual setup is cheaper. I guess I can choose one of those as the color standard for printing if there are any significant variations after calibrating the two. Thanks

For business reasons, I need to switch from Mac to PC. The PC will have to meet both business needs and my photo editing. I think I have a handle on your desktop recommendations to accommodate both, but am now looking at comparing a dual monitor display vs. one large monitor that can accomplish the same thing. The dual is a business need, not a photo one. While the larger monitor is more expensive than the dual, it seems calibrating two monitors is a pain or am I making it into a bigger issue than it is? Both options seem to check the monitor recommendations I've read in here, but is the curve of the larger one a potential issue? https://www.dell.com/en-us/member/shop/dell-ultrasharp-34-curved-usb-c-monitor-u3419w/apd/210-arcl/monitors-monitor-accessories vs https://www.dell.com/en-us/member/shop/dell-dual-monitor-bundle-u2419h-without-stand-and-with-mds19/apd/210-aroj/monitors-monitor-accessories Thanks

Maybe I am searching for the wrong key words, but is there a recommended flow for editing phone pics or jpeg only (no raw)? Of course I shoot in raw on my dslr, but I have a water casing for my iPhone that I have used to take some photos that I'd like to edit. It's way cheaper and less bulky than dslr water housing I know they will be limited. Do I just open in Photoshop and attempt the camera raw filter since it doesn't open in ACR?

OK so I pick and aspect ratio and still have to convert to pixels and make sure it meets the max requirement, correct?

Portfolio of my work for prospective clients.

The current template I am using puts all of the images next to one another and you scroll left and right to view. I definitely shoot loose and need to crop. After I fattest the image, don't I need to choose a consistent ratio to crop to as a starting point?

I've read through these two articles Best Practices for Web Photos and Sharpening for web as well as the latest info on the Squarespace website Formatting your images for display but I am still a little confused. Squarespace recommends "using images that are between 1500 and 2500 pixels wide." So if I want my images to have an aspect ratio of 8x10 (4:5), I need to find the corresponding pixels. Google tells me that aspect ratio equates to 2400px x 3000px. So using the calculator in one of your articles, I want to input into my crop tool 2000px x 2500px (no resolution) to maintain the ratio but meet Squarespace's requirement. Did I do that correctly? Is there an easier way to convert aspect ratio into pixels? Now Squarespace says so do I try to sharpen for the original crop and not worry about the "seven versions"? Or because of this do I not take the time to sharpen?

Having trouble with whether this is good enough focus or if the high iso noise was throwing me off. Settings f/2.8, 1/320, ISO 1600

OK I'll probably use this instead of the woman in the bikini for the print sharpening class.

Per our last exchange on focus I dug deep to find a group shot. Also not what I typically shoot, so curious to see where to draw the line. Settings f/6.3, 1/250, ISO 200 My niece the graduate as well as my brother and sister in-law look good to me. I think my niece on the end is borderline. Does her right eye seem passable or would you have scrapped this pic?
