wrote: gimp, krita, etc., are pretty good for free, and they are open source editable How clueless can you be? Toy graphic apps that the user can hack for her own purposes? Get serious. Pro-level graphics work, still and video, require a lot of work. No graphics pro is interested in hacking the apps, but only interested in productivity. And that brings us to Macintosh for the most demanding, Windows for those who are willing to settle for second best. A lot of graphics pros I know, use Windows. some do, but many more use macs. |

And that brings us to Macintosh for the most demanding, Windows for those who are willing to settle for second best. Please explain how the OS determines how a pro program like Adobe Photoshop or Adobe Lightroom becomes more or less demanding to use. many reasons, including that macs have higher resolution displays as standard which means it's supported by most apps, better colour management, better font management, better integration among multiple apps, better integration among multiple devices and peripherals, a much wider selection of apps, an increase in user productivity and a better overall user experience. not only that, but a retina imac is cheaper (and by quite a bit) than an equivalent windows computer. |

Photo management for kids, perhaps. apple was done with any sort of professional photo management and editing software when they suspended develoment on Aperture. For anybody involved in serious photo asset management and editing Photos is a sad joke, and nothing is going to save it, certainly not any extensions forced to run on a POS. While Jon Ive did great things for Apple with the iPod, and iPhone, in the post-Jobs era, his minimalist philosophy has seriously damaged many other aspects of the Apple product range including Photos, which is aimed at the iPhone, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter clientele. I don't see anything wrong with that, and it's being responsive to the market that makes up the large majority of their customer base. Pros and amateurs seeking a real photo editor have LR and PS. I use Photos exclusively for my iPhone photos, and if there're a few that I want to do real work with, I simply Export and take them into my LR catalog. |

There was code donated through the Film-Gimp project and successfully implemented in Cinepaint. The latter was good stuff while it was under active development... The Gimp Project through all that away. No it nothing but a entry level tool for web design and has nothing to offer those who take photography serious. Last time I checked Krita had nothing to offer the photographer, and does not pretend that either. https://krita.org/ -- teleportation kills |

Please explain how the OS determines how a pro program like Adobe Photoshop or Adobe Lightroom becomes more or less demanding to use. The Mac is simply more comfortable and more configurable... 'splain that, please. Sure... How is a Mac more comfortable to use when working in Photoshop or Lightroom compared to using either/both in Windows? What is more configurable when using a Mac when working in Photoshop or Lightroom compared to using either/both in Windows? It's the totality of that that you work with. If you unlike most of us chose to use only those mentioned products and have your computer strictly for that purpose... You get that that you want faster. I'm using both. Right now I'm using the w8 laptop for scanning while doing other stuff, like inspect the scans on the Mac. Dunno about scanning software, but tell me how you get what you want faster using a Mac compared to a Windows machine. To quote our eminent expert in everything, using "similarly equipped machines". I said that I'm scanning through a w8 laptop. It's a very simple task... I have no problem with someone who feels a Mac is the better system overall, but you seem to be saying that there are advantages to being on a Mac when in Photoshop or Lightroom. No. I said that the Mac is more comfortable and more configurable... You really have to know how to use both system on a more than basic level to challenge that. -- teleportation kills |
