I don't think it was obvious at the time. LEDs were really slow and the screens were barely suitable for laptops. The only thing we can really predict about the future is that it may not go the way...

This reminds me of the arguments for CRT monitors vs early flatscreen LED monitors. Not many CRTs around nowadays.

Not all photographers are "hired". Many produce fine art photographs, sell their work in galleries, and publish their own books or sell to libraries. There are many types of photographers...

One of the great things about photography is that when you see a photograph you don’t know whether the photographer was male or female, what their colour or ethnicity was, whether they were young...

I taught photography to classes of students of all ages for many years. In general the male students were more interested in technical aspects and the female students were more interested in...

There have been women making their mark in photography since the beginning. Julia Margaret Cameron in the 1800s, Lee Miller in the second world war, to name but a few. Ironically, photography is...

"For whom the bell tolls"
Any failure is bad news regardless of which camera you use. Thriving competition is always good for the consumer, without it prices rise and choice falls.

I cannot believe the amount of people here who struggle to find reasons not to use it and prefer to pay far more for Adobe. It may not be perfect at this moment but if people support it in time it...

Much like they promised to continue the conventional paid versions. Much like they promised if you upgraded to CS6 you would be able to upgrade to CS7, etc.

Just wondered which essential basics you thought it lacked?

It might appear a recent thing from a photographers point of view but if you have been in graphics for a long time this sort of thing has been going on since the 80s. Adobe had everyone over a...

As far as I can remember Adobe has always been cheaper in the US. I don't know if that is because it is their home market or something else. With everything available as downloads it can hardly be...

Its worth spending some time with Affinity. Some of its features aren't obvious and it may do what you need but in a different way. I bought it when it first came out. As a life long...

Power corrupts, and I suspect whoever takes the crown in the future will end up becoming a despot.

People are in business to make money, and that means charging whatever you can get for your product or service. That simple rule will dictate what Adobe do in the future.

Well, the price is right. The time is right too. Even if you only want to try it for a few months or so until you feel confident to ditch lightbox and move to the current DXO.

I wouldn't wait too long to cancel it, especially if it is on a rolling contract and they have your card/bank details. It took me seconds to sign up originally but getting out of it was like...

Good news for Affinity. They don’t really have to advertise, Adobe drives business to their door.

True, the master collection is good value for money, but at the same time putting your business at the mercy of a company that can change the terms and price of so many of your essential tools...

Windows still supports many old versions of photoshop, back six versions at least. Just about any imaging program thats any good will handle a wide variety of formats. Also many photojournalists...
