Ditto. My PC just died in January, was purchased in March 2011 and also had USB 3.0. I seem to remember it was quite pricey, was also a specialist build, gave quite a few problems in the first ...

I'm guilty of unjustified spec creep! I want a high spec photo-ediiting PC future-proofed to last 5 years or so. I am currently using Lightroom and Photoshop. I also want a pro grade monitor. The ...

Not a current user of your spec MB, but I was interested to read this thread as I am considering this purchase: https://www.scan.co.uk/3xs/shared/5c19e57d-cb6d-43a9-a45a-5f3e55f43382 which has ...

I had hoped the workstation mentioned in my original post would be up to the job?

Well I scored 6 (as an ageing male)! I'm not looking at 10-bit output for printers. In speccing a new system I was looking at a BenQ SW271 monitor which happens to be 10-bit and I then questioned ...

I take my Porsche to Germany most years just so I can drive it at 150mph! :) Can I ask what monitor you are using? Thanks.

Many thanks to everyone for your comments, extensive advice (technical and otherwise) and lively debate! If I can perhaps explain my position a bit more clearly. My last PC effectively died in ...

After a brief distraction with an iMac, I have decided it is not for me and am going back to the PC world. I'm looking at a new custom build for a high-end photo-editing PC (currently using LR and ...

My D750 came from Panamoz. After a week It had a problem with a dirty sensor and they changed it no problem at all. The price had nothing to do with it and I'd certainly buy from them again.

Seems to be available here: https://www.lucispro.com/store.html I don't know whether the checkout works as I've not yet purchased.

Great thread, I'm in a similar position and also looking at the Dell XPS 8930 Tower.

That looks like some great advice Sabrina. I'm afraid my Wacom (small) went back in its box quite quickly so I think it's time to give it another go with your suggestions. Thanks. :)

Oh well ...

@Arretose It's not white noise - which is generally accepted to be a random noise with the same amplitude or intensity like the LaCie 2big drive which whirrs away on the corner of my desk. The fan ...

Other than a 1TB SSD I have the same spec iMac as you, purchased in January. I added an additional 32GB of Crucial RAM and it has made no difference to the noise in Lightroom. I can't advise on ...

It doesn't look as though you are running the (subscription version) Lightroom Classic CC which you need to get the profiles.

Understood. Many thanks again.

@Ellis Vener Many thanks for your post. I want something that a) is compatible with the iMac and b) is simple to use - preferably fully automatic. Sounds like I should give the X-Rite a go.

@Bing Chow Many thanks for your reply and for the helpful link.

I was interested in purchasing the X-Rite i1 Display Pro for use on my 2017 5K iMac running High Sierra. One particular review on Amazon suggests that it does not work with the new 5k Retina ...
