If that's representative, then one has to have a refreshingly simple sense of humour to enjoy it. And have extraordinarily sensitive satire detectors.

It can't possibly be everyone, since he disagrees with you.

In any case, it seem evident that plenty had naturally assumed that it was soft, so English being composed mostly of optional rules of...

..that's right, like Geoff.

Actually I think it's that we are copying the Americans by softening out the ends of words. It's awful. It makes every one sound like a plebian.

Very boring article, but the NYtimes reader's comments below it are hilarious.

It was handy shorthand; pedanticness should be done in private with other consenting adults.

For photographers, the crucial Dxo report will be in to the HTC One and its APS-C photosites. Until that comes no decision on a smartphone is really possible.

What else have you tried?

It's always good to get a bit of context/perspective to 5 star reviews. I find 3 star reviews more informative than 1 or 5 star.

And Gimp is relatively slow. Photoshop will use all your cores.

Gimp's not a patch on Photoshop. I've used both and would dearly love to be able to afford Photoshop for my own private use.

Does photoshop 7 have nested and non-destructive layers?

I often use Irfanview (though usually I use GIMP) and have it matched to the smartcurves adobe-compatible plugin (it's here : http://members.chello.at/easyfilter/curves.html ). I get a very...

Where's Serif Photoplus?

Photoplus has nested and non-destructive adjustment layers, as well as full on editing capabilities and macros/batch processing. It used to be unusably buggy with...

Bokeh can certainly be measured and quantified. Look up circles of confusion +bokeh if you are unsure on this point.

The dpreview review mentions that it has bokeh issues.

"It is a 135 format...

Not on APS-C. Must I really be spelling that out on dpreview?

Or perhaps this is an example of a fullframer reaching "less than fullframe does not exist" nirvana.

The Sigma has bokeh issues. For a 50mm (equiv) lens, that's simply inexcusable. And the Dpreview article has, as usual, inadequate bokeh testing and sample pics.

For some kinds of photography,...

Trouble is, it's not garbage and it's the only show in town.
