As a pro using Adobe products on Mac systems since roughly 1993, Corel PaintShop Pro X5 seem like the best-in-class, after Photoshop (vector graphics are essential to my work product).

Interesting...

The value of good will in the overall valuation of a company has always been somewhat etherial — its share of the whole is up to the individual to assess.

I have a feeling that Adobe will soon...

I've been using Photoshop since 1993, or so. Back then, it was film and scans to digital (at that time, very few professionals even understood the concept of color "spaces"). I like owning my...

The old law protected the creator of a work, just fine. If you didn't "author" a work, you should NEVER be able to own the copyright without the permission of the author, regardless if you can find...

Nothing amusing about it.

This is the first complete thread I've ever read at dpreview, and I've been visiting here for years.

If one tallies the 'for' and 'against' opinions, it seems like Adobe has stepped in it up to...

Autodesk has a monopoly. I won't be held hostage by them, either. if a clients needs 3-D CAD renderings, THEY can buy me the software, and i'll create them some smoking hot models. Barring that,...

I'm right there with you. From the beginning. Not digging this move.

Adobe id=s trying to enter the rentier class.

Maybe there will be some ground-shaking improvements, but CS 5 is robust enough for me.

Pentax should concentrate on market share. Their products are, to anyone not a fanboy of Canikon, top notch. However, hiking prices — regardless of those charged by those holding a better share of...

Gorgeous car and good shots.

Drawing attention to the role prints play that digital files never can is simply good marketing. Good marketing is the keystone to successful entrepreneurialism. This brings us back to the original...

Although Leonardo no longer lives, thus no copyrights, the following is both derivative and transformative. Without Leonardos' original, this work would not have been possible, and without the...

Canon and Nikon are the 800 lb. gorillas in the room. Their market share is dominant. If dpreview is to remain viable, that is the market they speak to first. Economic reality is unfair, and...

I'm afraid many industries/businesses operate on a similar basis. As the old saying goes — it's not what you know, it's who you know. Sad, actually. However, as with most things involving sales,...

Is that a fox? If so, I'd be really careful of the cat (if it is yours). Foxes will eat cats, and if it does attack the cat and the cat, is fortunate enough to get away, there's always a chance...

You are absolutely corrrect: A good contract removes ALL liability from the photographer. Buyer beware.

Man! I can't believe this thread is still going strong. RE: The car analogy (BMW vs. Cobalt): It's about the MARKET. Try selling either to a person who lives in a tropical rain forest. To: The Doom...

I wondered the same thing when I bought my Pentax bodies. I don't think the Pentax mount is adaptable to the optics of other manufacturer's glass. I think it has something to do with the mount to...
