[...] most importantly I have a feeling your hardline choice of OS is your real problem, and it is distracting you from paying attention to improving your photography.

Floyd L. Davidson
That in fact seems to be *your* most serious impediment to improving your photography.

Not really, there is a whole shopping list of other things which impede the improvement of my photography.

The OP seems to be well aware that a more functional OS is eventually going to allow him to produce better results...]

Locking himself into a single OS solution in the face of what is minimally recommended by the camera manufacturer, in this case Canon is certainly going to be a distraction of some degree.

Floyd might have an answer, but be warned, he is a Nikon shooter.

Floyd L. Davidson
He didn't ask how to operate his camera though, and if he had I certainly would not be the one to ask, nor would I bother to try answering questions I know nothing about.

I didn't think you would.

Savageduck
Good luck with your quest.

Floyd L. Davidson
True, because most answers here will be equal to yours... garble about a topic you don't know the answer to, or even enough to understand the questions.

My knowledge of Linux is nonexistent, and I have little desire to dabble in those mysterious waters. My knowledge of GIMP is limited to making a comparison with Photoshop using OSX, and I found it lacking in several areas, but that is just ignorant me. I still have version 2.8.2 installed on my Mac, and I am probably not going to use it again, other than to remind myself why I don't use it. I have my opinion regarding my choice of OS and you have yours. (Mine is OSX).

I was correct with one thing, that you would be able to provide the OP with some assistance and direction in his quest. I don't underestimate your wealth of knowledge, as you do mine. As to my photographic skills, they have always been open to some improvement, at least for the last 60 odd years that I have had some idea of what a camera was when it was in my hnds. It is an ongoing learning situation for me, and I continue to learn with lessons coming from a variety of sources, including you.
