Adobe - Photoshop and their "Subscriptions"
In article , Alan Browne
wrote: Over the weekend I purchased a Nikon D3200 camera. This camera uses NEF-Compressed RAW format. I use Photoshop CS3 mostly out of laziness in updating. Also though there is the cost with seeming annual upgrades. CS3 did everything I need it to do so if it ain't broken don't fix it. I didn't read most of your rant but here's what you do: 1. Get the free Adobe DNGConverter to convert your raw files to DNG. 2. Keep using CS3 as before. Thank you both very much. Sorry about the rant.... Been months since I had a good one and that certainly did not qualify as a good one. However I am disapointed in Adobe. Actually I started out just to say I thought this was going to hurt them. Also, this is what I get for having lived in a cave for a couple of years. Elements you say? I didn't say Elements at all. i suggested elements. I said: 1) Get the free DNG converter and 2) _continue_ using CS3 with the DNG files instead of the NEF. the most recent version of elements will be far more convenient than that. however, dng converter is free. |

wrote: As far a GIMP goes, it isn't Photoshop and it doesn't have the features that Photoshop has...by a long shot. But, if it has the features that *you* feel are sufficient, it's state-of-the-art. the gimp is in no way state of the art. it might be 'good enough' but it's 10 years out of date with poor performance too. |

wrote: It's a shame that Adobe does not have a less expensive upgrade option, Well, there is. Elements is $99.99 if you order from Adobe. on sale for $69 thru father's day, directly from adobe. You'll see a $60 figure bandied about, and you can get it for that, but if you are more comfortable dealing directly with the source then the Adobe price is reasonable. nothing wrong with buying it elsewhere. |

Also, I tried installing the add-ons that were supposed to make GIMP (under Linux) able to read camera raw files, but they didn't work. -- Please reply to: |"We establish no religion in this country, we command pciszek at panix dot com | no worship, we mandate no belief, nor will we ever.

Have you his images? i don't need them. dng does not degrade anything. converting to dng is lossless. in other words, it is not possible for dng to degrade an image. this is guaranteed. it's very possible that adjustments someone made to the dng (or original raw) degraded it. |

Who is making this guaranty? Are you saying that it is not possible for a programming error, or other anomaly to cause a problem during conversion? Your conclusion may be right, but I don't understand how you can reach it, without examination of the before and after images in question. -- PeterN |
