I refer you to Floyd's response providing what can best be describes as "arcane":

sid
<snip Floyds example>

Savageduck
Tell me that isn't arcane.

sid
Some people like to use their computer in that manner and if he enjoys doing so good luck to him. He'd be just the same if he used osx.

nospam
only because he refuses to learn anything new.

sid
No, because that is how he likes to do things. Stop being so narrow minded, other methods than your own are actually quite acceptable.

he never tried any of the alternatives. he doesn't know any other way.

nospam
switching to os x and pretending it's straight unix like it was decades ago misses the whole point of getting os x.

sid
calm down, no one is actually advocating that are they?

some people are.

That doesn't mean that Floyds is the only way any more that than yours is the only way.

nospam
it's not that it's the only way, it's that it's a primitive and arcane way.

sid
Who cares if it works for him then why not? You seem to have more of a problem with it than Floyd does.

i don't have a problem with it at all.

what i have a problem with is blindly saying it's better when he hasn't tried the alternatives. he can't know. especially when just about everything he's said about mac and windows is wrong.

Clicking an icon is way easier with osx I take it?

Savageduck
Is that supposed to be some sort of OSX put down?

sid
No, of course not. I was pointing out that clicking an icon is the same no matter what os.

nospam
there's a lot more to things than clicking an icon. if only it was so simple.

sid
Whilst operating software in a graphical envoiroment clicking with a mouse is how you work, no matter which os you choose.

you really don't get it.

a couple of clicks in lightroom can do more than hours of work with alternate systems.

Savageduck
You aren't familiar with OSX, Lightroom, or Photoshop are you? I sure as Hell don't have to jump through the hoops Floyd has set out above.

sid
I have used osx and I have used photoshop, not lightroom though. I found them to be as alien to me as using my os and software would be alien to you.

nospam
anything new is alien.

the point is that they can do what floyd described with a couple of clicks rather than writing 10,000 line scripts.

sid
So can I,

not without being able to run modern software, you can't.

Savageduck
is smooth and efficient, without a thought as to the under pinnings of the OS, I am sure the same is true for those using LR & PS in the Windows environment.

sid
As it is for those using a linux os

nospam
linux is hardly smooth and efficient.

sid
Again you prove you actually have no idea what you are talking about!

oh yes i do.

if it was so smooth and efficient, then why do so few people choose it? can't be all that wonderful, can it?
