Hello,
I'm looking for some advice on building up my PC for handling the workflow I have been dealing with. I am a professional photographer, shooting entirely with film cameras, typically large format cameras. I then have the negatives scanned with a super high res. drum scanner producing absolutely huge file sizes (typically 1gb per image on the low end). Being that I take a lot of pictures, these files start taking up space real quick. Not to mention what's required to edit multiple images at this size in programs like Photoshop.
The tower I'm working with is an ASUS M11AD, running windows 10 with an Intel Pentium G3220 processor. It's got 8GB of ram and 2TB hard drive. The system runs pretty well and can handle the current workflow it seems. But as business continues my accumulation of images will only increase.
I've been looking into bumping her up to 16GB ram and a 4TB hard drive. I've also got a NEC 27" wide gamut monitor on it's way.
I'm looking for advice on what steps/upgrades would benefit my needs the most. The machine is strictly a work computer, no games. Pretty much all photo editing, running a lot of demanding programs simultaneously and dealing with massive files. Would I benefit from a processor upgrade? Would a graphics card upgrade be worthwhile? Really any suggestions or thoughts are greatly appreciated!
Thank you all,
Kyle
