Hello all,
New here - looking to buy a 2017 Imac for video and photo editing - will be creating 1080 and 4k short films, and editing photos, generally jpegs, occasional raw.
Really want to get a 21.5" imac as the size is perfect for me, but afraid even the maxed out version will not be enough. Are the GPUs in the 27" that much better? Would the 560 ably handle 4k, or is the 27" the only real choice for editing/rendering/exporting 4k?
Many thanks for your thoughts!
