This video made a lot more sense than the previous one...this should be helpful to anyone using PS, it was to me. Just as a side note if someone is considering Capture One these features are all available, layers, levels, Luma Mask, etc. I don't think any photographer can completely do away with PS, but other vendors are catching up to at least photography based features that one can find in PS and for me having these abilities already in say C1 it makes it easier than exporting to PS then going back to LR. Competition is making all the companies produce better products and that's a win for all photographers.

Quick question, since I see you using a graphic tablet and I'm waiting on a XP-PEN Artist Pro 15.6 to arrive..What would be your choice, a 15.6/16" graphic tablet or a 27" IPS 10bit factory calibrated 100% sRGB / Adobe monitor? Maybe you have a recommendation for a monitor?...I was thinking/looking at the ViewSonic VP2780 4K, ViewSonic VP2771 2K or BenQ PD2700U 4K...or if I wait long enough (until Black Friday) I might find a ViewSonic VP2768-4K in my budget...I can return the graphic tablet, so it's kind of a "buy/try it and see if I like it" thing for me.. Sorry, It was supposed to be a quick question, insight from anybody is welcomed :) Thanks Nick!
@NickPage5 жыл бұрын
I personally have the Benq 27" "photographers" monitor. full adobeRGB Its a great monitor, and I love it, but my tablet makes a bigger impact on what I do. As long as you take the time to calibrate your monitor so you can trust your colors and contrast. My tablet is the Wacom intuos medium pro.. and I love it. I havn't used a mouse in a couple years now, I dont even own one.
@ItsWillLee5 жыл бұрын
@@NickPage Thanks so much for your time! Truly appreciated. I'm looking forward to trying the tablet, I see them becoming really popular lately. My sister just bought the X-Rite 1Pro colour calibrator last month, works great on her new BenQ, but not so much on my cheap 6 year old LG, lol. That's funny about not owning a mouse, I hate them for ergonomics and have been using a pen mouse for over a year now. I'm pretty sure I'm going to fall in love with editing on the tablet, I'll probably still buy a new monitor on Black Friday...my wallet never gets heavy, lol ;-p
