I am a photographer. Would the CTH 480 be the right choice to process and retouch my photos? My screen is 15.6", and the resolution is 1366x768.

I use Photoshop regularly to retouch my photos and find the CTH 480 to be very easy and comfortable to use. My screen is a 19 inch and the resolution is 1024x768, so I see no reason why the CTH 480 wouldn't work for you.

Photography has been a hobby of mine for 40+ years. I am not a photographer and I am not paid by anyone to write this. My display is 21inches, at a resolution of 1440 X900. I have owned my CTH480 after someone on YouTube giving a retouching seminar said that if you don't have one of those, you're missing out. He was using an Intuos Bamboo Small. I had been thinking about getting one for some time, so I took his advice and took the plunge. Man, had I been missing out! This thing works great! It completely replaced my mouse at my desktop computer's side. When you first use it, it will be like the first time you used a mouse, but within a day, you'll be flying. I specially enjoy using the pen to refine a selection's mask with magnification and a very small brush. The tablet's active working surface area is customizable for different applications. For Photoshop, I use the whole surface to get more precision. For email and word processing, I only use the bottom right quarter of the tablet's surface and that's more than enough. One drawback, though: this tablet doesn't erase. I use Photoshop's eraser when I need one. But that's a very minor thing; I don't erase that much. I hope this helps.

As others have mentioned, the Intuos Pen and Touch small can be a great tool for this size screen. The small tablets will have you working mostly from your fingers and wrists for movement, where a medium tablet would require more movement from your elbow. Some users prefer a larger tablet, when working with multiple displays.

I do not know the answer to your question directly, but I can tell you the A 646 was not a satisfactory device. It failed way too early in its life and was slow to operate. We have found camera store machines to be a better approach, especially since the bulk of our photo production is now computer based.

It works fine but the resolution is very low. The resolution is 1200dpi for only one square inch of negative. Thus, the resultant picture quality is lower than the 600dpi setting for photos. For a 5x6 photo there is 35 times more area scanned even though it is at half the resolution.

I have scanned several photos and they come out very well. I think the max resolution is 600DPI which is probably about as good as the quality of the photograph itself. The larger the photo the clearer the scan will be. I found the saving the pictures as a .pdf seem to give you a little better quality than a .jpg and also works well if you are using a MAC.

I think if you are going to zoom in and expect good resolution you should raise your shooting pixels way above 3. I was pleased with mine when I tried it. If you don't increase the pixels then if you need to blow up your picture it will seem grainy.

i own one and the screen is matte. i also take photos for architectural/real estate. best if you have monitor calibration tools, otherwise default color settings not that good for editing/processing. i also use my nikon tethered straight to laptop and works well. has built in sd card reader too. only downside is battery life. high performance settings will get you about 1.5hrs work time. power brick is literally a brick so not that portable. overall, very good and reliable machine. i won't replace this for a few years more even with the updated ROG models already out.

Hi Jorge, It really depends on the camera you are using. I am going to assume it's a GH4 since you are looking at this SD card. I am able to get a little over an hour with my GH4 in the 16:9 24p 4K mode. I hope that is helpful.

I think it would be fine for photo editing. I actually sent back the one I ordered because I liked the color on my HP better. It seems to work well for all graphics, though I'm not a gamer. I did watch a couple of movies and they were fine, but not good enough to make me give up my HP which I use primarily for photography.

i have 60D. I returned this item.Screen itself is NTSC SD 480 aspect. menu has Full, 16x9 and 4x3 afjustment. It didn't look good on the screen. On overscan mode, picture is slightly blown out and underscan size is too small.

Yes. I am running Photoshop CS6. Mine is i7. I am still tempted to up the RAM. But you should have no worries.

Yes. I own an A2400 IS. I took a picture, pushed the Playback button, zoomed the picture, scrolled through the functions until I found "Resize." Pressed the button and I had a cropped photo. I normally don't use that function, relying on my Photoshop to do the cropping for me.

Depends on what you need. 45mb/s works well for just portraits. And even fine for speed as long as you shoot in jpeg. But I was shooting fast in RAW on full frame and 45 was not doing it for me. But if it says 45 then it is. But if you have no problems no need to upgrade

You can use the cintiq as your primary monitor (well primary in the sense that its the one you will be drawing on) then use your normal monitor to view reference photos. I do it all the time :)

It is quite a price tag, but worth it for us. My wife uses it for professional photo processing and editing, and the combo of RAM, processing speed, and most importantly, screen size and outstanding resolution made it the right choice in our case.

Yes, it's the standard for Photoshop retouching. I wish there were good alternatives, though, as mine keeps falling apart, and it's expensive to replace.

A word about the D800. I downloaded the 20 megabite sample jpeg image files nikon provides and tried my hand at working with them in photoshop and Topaz filters. I see some color banding in the shadows, hmm? Has any one else tried working them?The other thing is that I noticed is with 36mp images at 20MB's your post processing times to slow to a crawl.
