JK-

I just downloaded a trial of Cap One. My god, it's more obscure than LR !

Isn't there any editing app that just lets you open a file on your hdd (with out importing to catalogs etc) and then save it where you choose to save it???

Photoshop is sounding better all the time :-)

Best to download images and put them somewhere you want.
Then use something like A Better File Renamer to get naming right then start the editing stuff.

I have just finished configuring my new Mac Pro 8 core beast. Actually not quite as I have to SuperDuper the boot disk onto a SSD so it boots faster.

You need to work in Sessions mode (File Browser) otherwise you have the hassle of Catalogs.
Personally I find all the softwares a bit clunky as I dont think that many really understand photographic workflow. I am very used to Bibble and that was very good but now it is with Corel it is as good as dead so I use CP 7.11 and Lightroom.



With all the Creative Cloud business at least Lightroom is outside the cloud so is a viable alternative.
I do not support Cloud Computing, obvious somebody at Adobe got an invitation to see Larry Ellison at Oracle and was convinced. For the real world there is hardly 100Mbit networks much less 1Gbit fibre optic in house and 50Mbit broadband to the door. California developers forget that Silicon Valley is 10-20 years ahead of the real world and 5-8 years ahead of rest of US. In some parts of US it is still not possible to get more than 1Mbit broadband. This should be their working standard not the opposite end of the spectrum!

Got the following email today, as I signed the petition to Adobe regarding the move to CC.

==================================================
Dear Supporters,

Thank you all for signing this petition! In just 4 and a half days we already have received more than 5,500 signatures from professionals, designers, freelancers, hobbyists and photographers from across the world.

Firstly, I wanted to inform you all, that as of late yesterday and early today there have been news articles written about this petition, including an article by CNNMoney and ComputerWorld. This is a small victory for us! As the media picks up on the fact that there are people out there who aren't in favor of Adobe's new changes, this petition will only continue to gain traction.

Secondly, I wanted to let you all know another important detail: As I have been reading around the web, I noticed a considerable amount of misinformation from both sides about the CC subscription model; those confused about the specifics of CC as well as deceitful propaganda coming from everywhere. Adobe has cleared up a few "myths" and misconceptions about CC, but nothing they have said has addressed the underlying issues. I wanted to let you know this so you all can be vigilant and support this petition for the right reasons.

Thirdly, know that this petition is not my petition- it is ours. There are many troubling problems that arise from Adobe's change from licensed, owned software to a monthly rented subscription service. This petition is a conglomerate of many differing, yet valid reasons, for changing Adobe's minds. Do not be afraid to leave Adobe your honest feedback and rationale in the comments section of the petition page, and let your voices be heard!

Finally, with all of that said, continue to share this around with everyone you know! Also think about sharing this petition on Twitter. You can link to this petition using this: http://mnch.us/adobe2. Also consider signing a petition by Corey Edwards, which asks adobe to reconsider their Creative Cloud subscription plan terms and pricing. You can find his petition on chang.org here: http://mnch.us/adobe.

This isn't over yet.

Thank you everyone for all of your help and support,
Derek Schoffstall
