BEST INKJET MEDIA: FINE ART FINISH Fine art paper finishes, like photo finishes, come with a variety of options. Your tastes might lead you to smoother matte finishes, but if texture and a haptic experience is your inclination, there is probably even more choice. Whatever the preference, these nominees are a great starting point.
BEST COLOURMANAGEMENT SOLUTION A colour-managed workflow will make sure your final product is accurate. There are plenty of devices out there to help you do this, from capture through to output. An uncalibrated monitor can really waste time, not showing off your work at its best. Yet, with a little effort, it’s possible to ensure that what you are looking at is a colour-accurate depiction of your images.

BEST IMAGE EDITING SOFTWARE Getting excellent quality out of camera JPEGs that do not especially need further enhancement is a perfectly plausible exercise. But, for many keen photographers, the prospect of tweaking and refining their images is just part and parcel of the hobby: hence the need for intuitive editing software. There is a plethora of great products on the market – and this is our pick of the best.

BEST IMAGINGMONITOR Some photographers spend a great deal of money on their camera and lenses, but skimp on the monitor. This means their hard work does not get enjoyed at its best. To be frank, that is madness, and investing in a quality monitor to truly appreciate images is actually a small price to pay.
