nospamSure.

What purpose does it serve to make up such silly statements as that.
nothing silly about it.
your post about how to open a tif file demonstrates just how true it is.Floyd L. Davidsonnospam
A click on a Linux box is exactly the same as a click on a Mac or on Windows.
not when the apps that receive the clicks do so much more.Floyd L. Davidsonnospam
The problem is that clicking a mouse is a great solution for some things, and a terrible one for others. Restricting oneself to only or to never is equally faulty.
there is no restriction. both options are available on a mac.
You can't read well? I didn't say that OSX was in effect a typewriter.nospamit's like saying using a typewriter and a word processing app are both the same because with both, you push the same keys.Floyd L. Davidson
one is *far* easier to use and more productive than the other.
In different situations it turns out the other is easier and more productive.
in what situation would a typewriter be more productive?
the only one would be wanting to write something during a power outage, and if outages happen more than on rare occasion, you have more serious problems than not being able to write something.So what? We weren't talking about typewriters. Don't you understand what an analogy is? It's not an assignment operation, it's just a rough comparison.
It's both.nospamFloyd L. Davidsonnospamcamera raw is *far* more advanced than anything on linux, plus there aresid
many more choices too. if you don't like one raw converter, use another.
What has that got to do with it?
if you want the best results you need to use the best tools, which are not available for linux. that's just how it is.
You make this crap up for what purpose?
it's not made up nor is it crap.
photoshop, lightroom, aperture, dxo, pixelmator and dozens and dozens of other apps are *not* available to linux users.I don't really know, but won't most of those run under WINE or other virtual machine packages?
one of the most useful features is non-destructive editing. not only does the gimp not support that, but it doesn't even support adjustment layers! photoshop had that about 20 years ago. it's so behind the times it's laughable.Ah, well, I suppose you need them. Stick with programs that have those features then.
