Thank you everyone for your feedback and tips. I think it is the software but will try the suggestions regarding some utilities and also the vacuuming. I do have a cooling stand which does help. No other software causes this problem. Thanks again

I have used ON1 for many years and I like it. I have a MacBook pro about 1.5 years old - 32gb ram. When I edit my photos or try to do a composite my computer gets extremely hot. I have a unit underneath that keeps it cool but still it really heats up and problems occur including losing all the edits. I don't know whether it's the software or the machine. I do know that if i use Elements or Topaz it stays fairly cool with no problems. i am considering changing to photoshop but wondered if anyone has the same type of problem - machine over heating. I hate to think of learning a whole new program only to find out it's my Mac.

Thanks for any feedback you can supply.

I just recently bought one as a second camera to my Canon 5D Mark IV. I am thrilled with this little Sony - the image quality is really good. We are traveling right now in our motorhome on the way to California and I have taken some very good shots through the windshield.

If you get a Dell display, figure on getting an XRite i1 Display Pro profiling tool at the very least. Dell's photography oriented displays will show 10 bit color which is nice if you use Photoshop or any other application that supports a wide-gamut, 10 bit display pipeline, but you'll need the correct version of software to be able to internally program the display for proper calibration.

Don't make the mistake of buying a $300 display because so-and-so uses it and loves it. There is a very big difference between editing on a properly profiled IPS or GB-LED 10 bit wide gamut display, and a #300 gaming monitor that is likely TN and changes color each time you move your head to a new angle. The entry level Dell Ultrasharp monitors will get you pretty close to the $1500+ professional displays. The cheap Samsung is a far cry.

Here is an article that details the process of proper profiling for the Ultrasharp displays:

Bottom line, gamut and color consistency across the screen should be your deciding factors. Resolution? Not so much. FWIW, I use a pair of Dell 2413s because I like a wide workspace. The end result is a screen that is 3800x1200 in resolution, and text that is easily readable. Text scaling on hi-res displays is imperfect at best.

Thank you to all UHH members who replied. I am not sure that I got back to everyone as I didn't know to quote reply. I saw that someone mentioned that I might have to upgrade my graphics card so I am going to look into that, as well as color space, screen ratio, and make sure I get an IPS. This site and the wonderful members who take the time to respond has taught me so much over the last 3 years. Thank you again.

If you like Dell, why not go with their Ultra-Sharp line? They are IPS. That is what I have and it has been very good, although if I were to buy another one I would check to make sure they had solved the power plug problem. [It is not secured with screws, and will slip out if bumped or when the monitor is rotated.] Not sure exactly when I bought it, but it was probably around 5 years ago.


Thank you Susan - I am going to look at the Dell line. So much to consider.

While I concur with the numerous recommendations for IPS, there's one item that has not been addressed, and that's the screen ratio. Most hi-def monitors sold today are in the 16x9 format to mimic what a HD TV has. So, if your primary thing is to watch movies on the computer, that's the format you should choose. However, some, like me, never use the computer to watch movies, so I have always opted for the 16x10 screen ratio. That gives a slightly higher dimension to your computer usage. It's just a personal preference. Locating a 16x10 is hard to find....ASUS has their ProArt series, which has 16x10. Good luck!

Thank you - I had no idea I had to look into that. Your input and input from others on UH is invaluable. thank you for taking the time

Thanks - I think that is one problem that my old monitor doesn't address. I can so much more of everything on my newer Dell laptop than my old Dell monitor. Appreciate the advice.

IPS monitors or “In-Plane Switching” monitors,
IPS monitors continue to be the display technology of choice for users that want color accuracy and consistency. IPS monitors are really great when it comes to color performance and super-wide viewing angles. The expansive viewing angles provided by IPS monitors help to deliver outstanding color when being viewed from different angles. One major differentiator between IPS monitors and TN monitors is that colors on an IPS monitor won’t shift when being viewed at an angle as drastically as they do on a TN monitor.

Thank you - I just learned about an IPS monitor recently and see it should be a deciding factor. I so appreciate the members of his forum and their advice.

what he said. I bought one in March and if you like a big monitor this is great, especially for the price.
