A lot of people do some very fine work using each of these different sets of options. This absurd bunch of emotional rants that it can't be done with Linux based solutions is silly when there clearly are people who do work with Linux posting here saying it works fine. It is even more absurd when we realize that better than half the people making those rants have never allowed anyone here to see any useful examples of work they've done.

To keep things straight the following usual suspects have posted original images here (and in some of the other photo groups), using their image processing method of choice:

Lets do keep things straight. "Useful examples of work" is not generally speaking what gets posted to this newsgroup, by anyone.

Lets see a small body of work as at a minimum. It has to be a sample large enough to show what a person does.

And listing everyone who has ever posted one link to an image here is just obfuscation.

The vast majority of those listed are not posting the rants that you are.

In your specific case I can't remember if you have any online galleries or not.

I'm aware that you do a decent job of making photography enjoyable. What else is there?

Why you have to repeatedly post gratuitous insults is beyond me, though granted that I do see some common threads to them, and no it isn't appropriate to cite what they are or to insinuate that what they indicate is necessarily true.

But you can absolutely believe that virtually nothing you ever say about anything has any credibility in my camp, just because I've seen so many clear examples that are 1) illogical or 2) abusive, or 3) worst of all both. I might agree with something you say, but in any case where I have nothing but your word to go on, your lack of integrity is all that counts, good photos or otherwise.
