The topic was sharpening, and the differences in ways to do that. Abobe's programs are not even close to the only way to sharpen.

nobody said they were. however, they're by far the most popular.

In fact *most* users that actually get into the more sophisticated aspects of sharpening cease using anything that Abobe provides for that purpose, and shift to better tools.

nonsense.

they might in very specialized cases, certainly not for most purposes.

Generic atributes of sharpen tools can and should be discussed absent references to specific implementations. When specific attributes are discussed it doesn't make a great deal of sense to look at low end products designed to appeal to the lowest common denominator, as might well be discussed in your "Abobe Tools for Dummies" manual.

the fact that you think photoshop is a low end product shows how full of shit you are.

photoshop is one of the most sophisticated image editors around, which is why the majority of graphics professionals and photographers use it.

the gimp wishes it could be half as good. the gimp is about ten years behind photoshop, both in features and efficiency.
