Well you've certainly been frothing at the mouth in a manner which suggested to me you that you are quite offended by the thought of anyone not running an adobe product on osx.nospamnospamsid
why people want to remain in the past, i do not know.
Because he likes to? Because he finds it works for him? Why are either of those things so offensive to you?
who said it's offensive? that's something you made up.
i just wonder why people intentionally make things more difficult than necessary.They make things just the way they like them, that is ok you know.
As explained by myself and others, he has different choices, choices none the less, and he is not put at a significant dissadvantage for that. He does not want to use the same shit you are continually peddling here like some backstreet drug dealer, he has made his choices based on things other than wanting to have the most expensise accessories in a vain effort to make himself seem better.nospamsidnospamSavageducksid
What I am saying is, the OP has issues processing the RAW Canon files produced in his 600D. So much so he can't tell the difference between shots taken with his G2 or the 600D. He is instant on his choice of OS, that is OK, it's his choice. However that choice limits him when it comes to solving the post processing issues he has.
It only means he won't be running the same software as you. You seem to think that anyone not making the same choices as you is somehow at a disadvantage. That isn't so.
he absolutely is at a disadvantage because his choices are very limited.
You have yet to demostrate how he is at a dissadvatage, he has the choices that he has, they will do what he wants, not running an adobe product is only a dissadvantage to you.
as has been explained by myself and others, someone using linux has fewer choices, which puts them at a significant disadvantage.
Bullshitnospamhe has to come up with these crazy solutions because it's the only way.sid
That statement alone shows you know nothing about running a linux desktop, everything you say about it is nothing but hot air.
i know plenty about running a linux desktop. it's not worth the hassles.
linux is a good choice for a server, *not* for the desktop.Stop being so thick. He recommended it because that's the way he likes to work.nospamsidnospamSavageducksid
So to fix his issues the OP is going to be jumping through the arcane Linux hoops,
There are no arcane hoops to jump through, clicking icons and moving sliders is the same no matter what os you choose.
then why is floyd bragging about scripts and that everyone else is too stupid to create one?
Because that is the way Floyd likes to work. Do you think that means everyone using a linux desktop works the same way?
then why is he recommending it?
if he wants to showcase just how wonderful linux is, that's not the way to do it.As it happens, Floyds method is the one the op likes, no accounting for taste, eh?
How can you possibly know what the ops reasons for his os choice are.You are so full of shit.nospamsidnospamSavageducksid
when there are much more accessable solutions. I can't help him when it comes to those solutions, and if he insists on rejecting what is available because of an OS, all he is doing is exercising his dabbling in Linux and polishing his geek credentials.
But your solutions are not more accessable to him are they?
they're very accessible. mac and windows systems are available to anyone.
But that is not what the op has is it? That's not what he wants is it?
for no good reason.
Yes, they definitely can.nospamsidnospamSavageducksid
Personally I prefer to be able to concentrate on working on my photography, however good or bad it might be. How much improvement it might need, and know that I can do reasonably advanced editing and adjustment post processing using LR5 + PS running on OSX. I certainly don't have a "geek flag" to fly.
So why are you so keen to berate others when they want to do the same thing but with different choices in os to you?
they can't do the same thing. that's the whole point.
Of course they can,
no they definitely can't.
*many* very capable apps are not available to linux users.And *many* very capable apps are available to linux users.
that means they can't do the same things.That means they can do they same things but with different software
No more work that it would take you with your choice of software.sidnospam
Floyd and I have both shown images here that have been produced using the software you are so scathing about, Unlike yourself who has never shown that you even use a camera let alone all the software products.
you haven't said how much work it took.
someone could write the next harry potter novel with just a typewriter. that doesn't mean it's a good idea.It's only not a good idea for you. I'm pretty damn sure there are still plenty of people out there writing things without a computer, shock horror!
and what i personally do is not relevant. trying to turn it personal means you are grasping at straws.I'm trying to inject something real into this, you keep telling everyone how much more conveniant your methods are, how much time they'll save, and how superior their results will be, yet you are very reluctant to demonstrate these wonderous qualites with anything concrete. Perhaps if you were to display one of your outstanding creations we lesser mortals would be so impressed we would imeadiately go out and procure your recomendations.
How can you possibly know how much of a hassle it is? That's just more of your hot air.nospamsidsidnospam
I understand the investment in time and money you have put into osx and adobe software but none of that either makes you a better photographer or makes the op less able to improve his own photagraphy.
it makes the post processing far more productive and less of a hassle.
It isn't a hassle,
of course it is.
I don't.nospamwhy make things harder than they need to be?sid
No idea.
then why do it?
