OSX isn't arcane, but its UNIX under pinnings certainly are, and those who insist on dealing with their Macs via the Terminal and Command Line input are as geeky, if not geekier than any LINUX user.
Exactly the same as linux then.
you can do what floyd describes *and* use photoshop, lightroom, aperture, dxo any many other apps.
that makes it *not* the same. it makes it *much* more flexible.
nobody said it's the best choice for others.sidYou seem to think that anyone not making the same choices as you is somehow at a disadvantage. That isn't so.Savageduck
Not quite. I don't believe that the full version Photoshop is the best choice for all. There are other choices which can fill most needs. However, none of those other offerings are as full featured and as flexible PS. Many come close, and I know you might not accept that GIMP is not one of those. I would use Pixelmator, Acorn, or PSE before adopting GIMP as my full time image editor (and I have it installed on this Mac along with X11 & Terminal).
You are quite free to choose and use whatever it is your heart desires and your recomendations are going to based on your choices. No suprises there. But just because you don't get on with a particular piece of software does not make it the wrong choice for others. As we have already established you have invested alot of time learning photoshop and find it comfortable and easy to use. It might suprise you but I'm the same with Gimp and my workflow will be just as smooth and efficient as yours. My images do not suffer because they haven't been edited with and adobe product. Nor do they take me any longer or reqiure that I have any understanding of how my os works.
what people are saying is that intentionally limiting your choices without even looking at the other choices is stupid.
how can anyone know that photoshop or lightroom won't work if they won't run an operating system where they can run it? they can't.
bullshit. linux is nothing but hoops.sidSavageduckSavageducksid
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.
There are big differences when it comes to software selection.
What's that got to do with jumping through arcane hoops? There are no arcane linux hoops to jump through.
linux users seem to like that for some reason.
