Adobe moves the rental/service economy onward
"Rich A" wrote
| | I wonder, if in the future, you'll need to purchase a monthly subscription to run your camera body and will they cease to working if you try to sell them? Trade-ins only? | If you buy it, they will sleaze. What always surprises me is the way that people drop software like a hot potato over issues like this. Many people throw away perfectly good computers because Microsoft told them they're "no longer supported". In fact, people will drop products simply because a version will eventually be no longer supported, as is the case here. The author of the article you linked (admittedly not very tech-literate) is planning to look for new software because someday he won't be able to use Lightroom anymore. That might be 10 years away. In the meantime, he could learn how to use a file system and learn about graphic file formats so that he's not limited to Adobe's software training wheels when the time comes to switch. Anyone who needs "asset management" AKA finding-files- for-dummies in a graphic editor shouldn't be advising other people in media columns. They should probably be taking up a less demanding hobby that doesn't require organizational abilities. |

I think any reasonable amateur (even one who shoots a lot of memories with a phone) could use a DAM these days - the volume of material in the digital age is immense and being able to rate it and pick it, and keyword it, is invaluable to anyone who might want to put collections together, print some or even try some retouching or effects. For me, DAM is #1 - retouching is what I do when I have a set of good candidates. |

At least in as much as "I keyword photo A" and the computer suggests all similar photos in my collection and I chose which ones to replicate keywords to. Ditto faces. |

Ditto faces. no. scene recognition can figure out what is in the scene for you without needing to do anything. for instance, you can query for paris in winter and it shows you just that, without needing to have previously keyworded it. this capability continues to improve and is better than humans in many cases. |

Although I might prefer to be in control of the keywords chosen, and merely have it recognise similar scenes. |

Oh - there seemed to be a suggestion that AI would "just do it" - maybe I misunderstood. |
