Following on from this thread regarding buying/upgrading a computer
I thought it might be useful sharing any peripherals we use to make life easier when post processing, not the main components (base/monitor/printer) or software.
Here's mine
Monitor Calibration
More than useful, keeps the monitor spot on, I use a relatively cheap Pantone Huey (around £70), it hasn't got all the bells and whistles of the more sophisticated bits of kit, but does the job for me.
Graphics tablet
Although I'm comfortable using a mouse for most of my image processing , for fine/fiddly editing I use a graphics tablet (wacom)
Mouse Pad with Wrist rest
This has been one of my better investments, I was finding after a long session in photoshop, my wrist was becoming quite painful. after purchasing a mouse pad with a gel wrist rest, everything's fine with no strain.
USB 3 card reader
If you have a USB 3 hub in the PC, a USB3 card reader makes things so much quicker.
USB flash drive
Makes copying files between different machines a doddle.
Feel free to add
