For all the anger directed at Adobe there are precious few real full featured alternatives to PS.
The GIMP might be the best but as it STILL does not have 16 bit support it falls short as a pro...

Correct, but I will refine the observation further: They work for clients with a need for high quality work on a regular basis.This client is also using the resources of a business to pay for...

I did not ever expect it to be easy. Even in the 70's we had smart alecks screwing up our shots and getting underfoot. I do get my shots , and I do elbow people out of the way. I was really...

Add to that, they want to make photos in fields no one wants to pay for such as landscape, bands, fashion, sports and (increasingly) weddings. While overstating the case to make my point, I am...

With the Magic Lantern announcement of RAW video on the 5Dmk3 I think this item will not receive much love.

1/250 flash sync!

So where are the free market people trumpeting the choices they have as an alternative to Adobe?

So far it is just lots of ranting about price.

After the rants will people really change? Do they...

Yes, OSX has not supported  Power PC versions of the SW since 10.6. Rosetta (bundled with earlier versions) did enable Power PC SW to run on 10.5 but is no longer supported on the latest OS. I am...

I can understand the annoyance or even outrage of many who object to this change by Adobe. However it has been hinted at for several years through the gradual adoption of more cloud services and...

I think the bug issue is overblown as they can incrementally add features that have been thoroughly vetted and de-bugged before release. This allows a constant dribble of features and...

I guess this will sort the wheat from the chaff.

Pros who make money from PS will subscribe if and when they ultimately need to. The rest will migrate to cheap or free alternatives.
Many will hold...

It would be cool to have the original Pen shutter that synced at all shutter speeds up to 1/1000. It was some kind of funky focal plane shutter but it would sync at all speeds. We are a bit spoiled...

I agree but they like their sales of the OM-D. Also we can cast our minds back to the E-Volt 330 for a digital SLR with a "different" look. Sales stank but it was actually true to the old Pen theme.

You could just shoot OOF.

@raincoat. actually the fact that you can get feature enhancements AND bug fixes for your large investment is a credit to Canon. Considering the complexity of actually engineering and building a...

I think you are asking two questions. 1. How to make a shited panorama. 2. How to make a stitched image to maximize angle of view. In the first  case I just shift the lens from left to right or up...

I remember the days when the main reason we chose a fast lens was for the additional shutter speeds we could gain for low light shooting. The difference in cost in buying a body with the 50mm...

and find out. Charts and tests are meaningless compared to how you shoot and what you shoot. A great lens won't make a cr@p photographer magically better. You may find that what some describe as...

Maybe, but there is a giant installed base of APS-C and thus less risk. If this is successful FF will follow with a base of believers to sell to on the strength of this lens.
