- Can others edit my Photos
- Photos OK to edit
Hey guys. So I need your input. I have a netbook that I bought two years ago before I was into photography or editing photos. I still use it because for all intents and purposes, it does everything I need it to do.
However, I find it a bit awkward to do photo editing on the small 10 inch screen. Also, because the netbook screen tilts, it is really hard to judge what the brightness of the photo will be like. My friend is offering me an ips monitor that he picked up on black Friday to me for under 200 bucks. I plan on connecting my netbook to the monitor via VGA cable and getting a calibration device to calibrate the screen. Is this a good idea? Or can I expect poor resolution output because I'm using a netbook?
I'm on a budget so I am using gimp as my main editing software.
Thanks in advance.
