LaCie today announced the new LaCie Mobile SSD Secure and LaCie Portable SSD. The drives provide up to 2TB of portable capacity and deliver a new standard of performance with enhanced features, so content-creators and tech trailblazers can keep files, movies, and photos secure in one place, wherever they go.
With photographers and graphic designers in mind, the 31.5-inch “Ergo” monitor by LG features a full UHD 4K resolution of 3840 x 2160px, 95% coverage of ADOBE RGB 1998, reduced color shift at any possible viewing angle, and an “Ergo stand,” which offers expanded ergonomic adjustments to extend, retract, swivel and pivot the unit as well as adjust its height and tilt. Furthermore, the monitor provides USB Type-C input and output, HDMI, audio out and USB 3.
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.
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.
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.
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.
