- Content aware move and patch- Big improvements in brushes. A big deal if you paint with PS much.- White balance and noise reduction added to the adjustments that can be applied with a selective...

I understand your rationale for sticking with CC except for the math. If you get a single application subscription for Photoshop, the cost will be $10 x 12 for the first year. Then, the promo price...

From talking with others you appear to be correct. Sigh. Hardly the first time I have gotten bum info from Adobe support. Thanks

Just finished a chat session with sales support at Adobe and it appears that Lightroom IS in the Creative Cloud bundle. Elements appears to be the odd-man-out at least for now.  I can't justify 50...

Take a look at the how to video at OWC. The fact that you have to take the guts out of the mini to do the job sounds intimidating but it only involves mechanical disassembly (removing and replacing...

I went through a similar exercise recently. I wrote up an informal review of my experience with my new Mini on another forum. I offer a copy of it here in the hope that you and/or others might find...

What you are describing sounds like a despeckle filter. Photoshop has a despeckle filter (and quite a few other "noise" filters). I do not know if Photoshop Elements has the despeckle filter....

Snipers. Good, accurate snipers.

Got an email today with a FedEx tracking number for the lens.My experience with Olympus tells me a couple of things:1. They are total amateurs at the e-commerce thing. This does not make them bad...

This is actually pretty common on manufacturer web sites. They are amateurs at ecommerce. Sony is pretty bad and all of the audio component vendors suck. I am not too upset because my expectations...

I ordered on 14 Feb. Sent an email Monday the 18th asking for status. Got a reply today that the lens is back-ordered. Not a big deal for me. I can wait a few weeks considering the great price.

The contrails are mostly water vapor and ice. The nasty stuff is the stuff you can't see.

Should'a used a smiley. Every time I try for a bit of humor.... good thing I'm retired... :-D

I am in violent agreement with your final statement (and with most of your post). However, there are significant differences in the programs and in the image adjustment tools Lightroom does have...

Sorry I was unclear. I did not mean to imply that you were only speaking of the iWork bundle. I do not think the iWork apps would be worth much as dumbed-down iOS style tools. However, I think...

I do not totally discount that possibility. Given the age of the the iWork components and the fact that they are now only available as individual apps via the app store, each of the the components...

You said it in many fewer words than I did. :-D

Well, to be accurate, Adobe has not "eliminated upgrades". They have pulled in how far back (in versions) you can go to get the upgrade price and they are pushing their subscription model pretty...

Creating a RAM disk for scratch is an interesting idea. It would not be exactly performance-equivalent with simply adding more RAM due to the file system overhead. And, since PS does not resort to...

If I made my living using Photoshop (or doing video work for that matter) I would probably spring for an external thunderbolt drive enclosure filled with SSDs. Expensive but if time truly is money...
