It doesn't change the possibility that Corel might be trying to get us to believe that a corpse can sing and dance.

It is interesting, but it should have absolutely no effect on how we pursue our own vision regarding photography.

Reality!  What a concept! I'm thinking that reality is as much an artificial construct as anything else in the universe.  Reality is what we choose to believe it is.  Arguing about the nature of...

/Begin rant/ On a different site, when you upload a photo for display, there is a check box where you can swear that the photo being uploaded has not been manipulated in any way.  I have been...

Whether we agree or disagree with the decision made (I have no idea if it was the right call or not.), I think it is good to know WHY a decision was made.  a +1 for you.

Well, regardless of the methodology used, the GOOD photographer recognizes the good images and works to preserve and or enhance them.  The monkey will not.  The non photographer will not.  How many...

Nor, I suspect, many pros, for that matter.  It's just that whether pro or amateur, we develop methods that we know work for us and disrupting those methods without a clear benefit in mind except...

And THAT is expensive and SLOW.  Especially so with PC based software,  There are SO MANY combinations of hardware and software that comprehensive testing is a nightmare for an underfunded company.

That is open to members of the public who are smart enough to get an email account.  I think that's a given, and there is nothing you can do about it. I think the people who are offended by your...

Well, in Illinois, during winter, you either learn to love the light and the beauty to be found in an overwhelming abundance of various shades of brown, or you move!

Not really,  I guess I could hit the "reset' button in Lightroom, though it seems unlikely that I'd do something like that.  But you need to understand that rural Central Illinois in the late...

Well thank you!

of your cropping strategy,  one of my best photos comes from my 4/3s E30 and was cropped down.   Why restrict yourself if you don't have to? Actually, I got 2 or 3 other 'photos' from that one...

DCRaw seems to be the raw engine for many open source and some commercial applications.  My question is this, how important is the software "wrapper" that embeds DCRaw in the final quality of the...

Yes!  It is my sincerest hope that Corel, ACDSee, and Serif step up and take advantage of this situation.  (I name them specifically only because they seem particularly capable of mounting a...

Again Thanks!  I am still very much interested in seeing how LightZone shakes out.  The recent Adobe moves have put a new emphasis on my moves.  Any new information regarding the release schedule...

Or  maybe drop it to 100 posts max.  Can ANYONE say they have EVER encountered a thread that had more than say 20 posts that didn't have some sort of argument going on, or where the same 3 valid...

Well, actually, they do, at least in terms of quality, the size of the cookware might vary some.  Ask anyone who is seriously into cooking.  They are as opinionated as any photographer.

They are doing some very interesting things that you don't expect an open source vendor to do.
