NEED HELP on a Computer for Web Developer/Designer.?




Dr.True


I want a good computer that I can edit videos, music, images and other media. It does not have tobe the latest, or fastest as price is concern. I do have my eye on the IMAC 20inch, is this a good buy for what I want to do?


Answer
That is a good choice. If you already have a good monitor, you can get a Mac Mini. I have one, as well as an old blue&white G3 (which I keep around because I can hook up my scanner and THREE monitors at once!)

The new multi-core Intel machines are very, very fast. My Mini, a 1.66GHz Core Duo, works nine times faster than the old machine while performing raytraced 3D.

Mac OS X is also a system which is brilliant for coding back-end server code. If you interested in Ruby on Rails, I recommend Locomotive: a portable development environment for Rails. It makes things very easy indeed.

What's a good program for editing artwork on the computer?

I love to draw many things, animals, cartoons, but right now mainly manga style but what I want to know is what program I should get for coloring on the computer/editing my artwork. I'm more of a traditional artist but for my birthday I want a scanner and I'd like to edit my drawings a little. Make it stand out more, outline it, and maybe even color it. What has worked for you artists out there? Please give me reasons why this is a good program as well.

Here are some programs I've thought of so far:
-Photoshop
-Manga Studio
-Illustrator
-Paint Tool Sai

I'm NOT looking for the cheapest or most expensive. Just one that helps edit and outlines artwork really well. Coloring program with all the other stuff would be a bonus.

Thanks again ^_^
Also I don't mind paying for a program if that's what it takes to get good quality!!!
