Long hours of editing are a sometimes-annoying necessity. So why not put that next camera purchase off for a little while to invest in your editing studio? You’ll want to aim for at least a 27 inch screen if you can, and make sure it features IPS (In-Plane Switching), which eliminates the problem of inconsistent color and brightness when viewing the screen from different angles. These days, it’s easier than ever to upgrade with high resolution monitors available for a fraction of their former prices: you can get this HP Pavilion 27xi for less than $300.
Sure a mouse will work fine for your favorite photo editing software, but if you’re looking to upgrade anyway, why not try a graphic pad like the Wacom Bamboo Create Digital Tablet?
It’ll help with tasks requiring smooth sketching strokes or precise selection, like isolating a subject for editing or transposition. On top of that, it opens up a number of editing options that are only available while using a pressure sensitive pen and pad. Not to mention, it’s a sleek addition to your desktop that screams CREATIVE PROFESSIONAL at the top of its lungs.
Editing has to be the biggest game out there. This can make or break your business. But do not fret if you think you have to buy a whole new set-up of gear, no. This is just an idea if you want to get into the editing world, a bit deeper.
