Wanted: an 'Adobe PC' for processing photographs | Ask Jack | Technology When websites suggest PC configurations, usually you can choose between "home computing" and "gaming". If the former is 0 and the latter 100, where does photo processing lie? 50? With this in mind, could you suggest a good configuration for a dual-monitor PC that would be used to process photos with Adobe Photoshop CS6 and Lightroom 4? There's home computing to do too, but photo processing would be its raison d'être. I'm thinking of spending up to maybe €1,500 (£1,208), not counting the monitors, on a high-end system that will be fast, as energy efficient as fast can be, and that will continue to deliver the goods for four years or more. To answer your first question, "photo processing" now covers most of the spectrum between "home computing" and "gaming", from 0 to 90. Your 50 rating suggests you are somewhere between the two extremes, and you have a good idea what you want. When it comes to hard drives, speed is important for PhotoShop performance.

Things like color combinations, light effect and the elements that make up the artwork must be balanced and have to complement one another in order to create an artworks that’s pleasing to the eye.
