    I'd like to add one important thing! Since this computer is being used for "Business" you really want to either get a computer with Windows 10 Pro, or upgrade Windows 10 Home to Pro for $99. VPNs, Remote Desktop Sessions, operating on a Windows Domain, etc. is what Windows 10 Pro is built for.

     

    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.

  2. 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?

    Thanks

  3. 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?

  4. 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

    When you upload an image, Squarespace creates up to seven versions of that image, each with a different width. These widths are:

    • 100 pixels
    • 300 pixels
    • 500 pixels
    • 750 pixels
    • 1000 pixels
    • 1500 pixels
    • 2500 pixels

    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?

     

     

  5. 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?
