Pixelmator PRO 2

The image-editing software Pixelmator Pro 2.0 (code name: “Junipero”) is designed as a universal app that supports the new Apple M1 processor. Intel CPU systems are supported as well.

It is integrated with Metal, Apple’s hardware-accelerated 3D graphics and compute framework, standard library, and GPU shading language, thus providing increased speed in various image-editing processing steps, by a factor of 15x. The user interface has been completely overhauled, and now matches the macOS 11 (Big Sur) design. A new Effects Browser, interface customization, and workspaces for photography, design, painting and illustration are included.

Wacom Intuos Pro digital graphical tablet

The Intuos Pro Creative Pen Tablet from Wacom is a graphical tablet that can make a noticeable difference in the postproduction workflow of underwater images.

The Intuos Pro connects to your computer (PC or MAC) via USB or Bluetooth and is, after driver installation, ready to use and compatible with Adobe
Photoshop, Lightroom, and various other image editing software. It has customizable ExpressKeys that can be assigned to specific functions or shortcuts in Photoshop, for example, and comes with the Wacom Pro Pen 2, which has 8,192 levels of pressure sensitivity, thus making advanced retouching and editing of underwater images a new and better experience.

Eizo ColorEdge CG319X Monitor

Designed for PRO level image, video and 3D editing, the ColorEdge CG319X 31.1-inch (79cm) monitor from Eizo supports 99 percent of the Adobe RGB and 98 percent of the DCI-P3 color spaces.

It features a Cinema 4K resolution of 4096 x 2160 pixels, 10-bit support for 1.07 billion colors, a static contrast ratio of 1500:1, 350 cd/m2 brightness, 149 pixels per inch, and a 9 ms (GtG) response time.

For optimal color workflow, the Eizo has a built-in sensor that can be set to automatically calibrate the monitor at designated times.
For assisting the calibration, Eizo offers the free software program ColorNavigator 6 for download. The wide color gamut also ensures correct reproduction of almost all ISO and WEB CMYK color spaces used in professional printing.

WhiBal G7 Grey-Card

Whilst nowadays most underwater shooters do their white balance correction during postproduction of images, there are still many shooting situations (such as several different light sources present in one shot) in which doing it “old school” comes with clear advantages and optimized workflow.

WhiBal G7 Grey-Card

For a manual white balance prior or during photography sessions, or as an incorruptible reference during postproduction, the grey-card from WhiBal simply does the job. The G7 is designed for low reflectivity, except that the sticker is intentionally highly reflective so that maximum TrueBlack Blackpoint level may be achieved by observing for maximum glare point. It is spectrally neutral, water- and scratch-proofed, and fits in a BCD pocket.
