Re: Question: Adobe Creative Cloud
Ps CS5 and CS6 won't keep working forever. Eventually a Mac OS upgrade will break them, so we casual or non-biz Ps users now must be prepared. Adobe has apparently seen the wisdom of stepping down as the software giant and breaking their own virtual monopoly on photo editors. We should praise them for being so altruistic, I suppose. I'm hoping that one of the other editors will become sufficiently competitive soon and I'll be able to replace Ps in my workflow.

Re: Question: Adobe Creative Cloud
Of course Adobe won’t miss a chance to provide us with product for a hefty fee. Whether it’s called PhotoShop or Elements, web-based or installed, I’m sure that we’ll be able to keep working with a somewhat familiar software solution.

Re: Question: Adobe Creative Cloud
Paul, you're right about masks. I just reviewed my PSE 11 install to check a few things, and sure enough layer masks are supported. But there is simply a myriad of important workflow things missing, like: second monitor support; brush flow; 16-bit support; Curves adjustments; ProPhoto RGB; ... How could something so basic as Curves not be there? Brushing with a mouse is almost impossible without adjustable flow. (I can't use a tablet.) I'm sure I could eventually adapt to it, probably with the assistance of some plugins.

The fact that Ps Elements lacks masking completely removes it from contention for retouching, for example. Even the fact it cannot warp a layer is a show-stopper.

You do anyway if you buy a copy and then keep it updated properly with a perpetual license. I don't need the latest version. I need a capable version. CS5 suits me. My model was to buy a copy then upgrade it after 2-4 years. To compare to that CC would have to cost me less than $5 a month (forever). The current model will charge me $20/month forever.

The right- rear corner is just wrong--I have to move my whole right hand to adjust EV compensation, and that's something I do all the time since I use aperture priority AE most of the time. The Sony allows me to re-map this control to the front dial, making it fall to hand easily like it is on the Olympus E-M1 and other cameras I own. I don't know whether that solution is possible on the Fuji. Interesting! I find moving the EV dial very easy with just my right thumb, without moving my right hand at all. Cat skin ;-) Different size/shape hands, we probably hold the camera somewhat differently too. I can't seem to bend my thumb and move it precisely on a wheel in that location. I always end up taking the camera from my eye and looking at the dial to see what I'm doing, which gets in the way of my shooting workflow. Don't leave that cat skin laying about. I hear it broils up nicely and goes well with hat. ];-) (Ann will shoot me next time I see her… ) G I don't have an issue with the placement of the EV Comp dial, but I do have an issue with how tight it is on the new X cameras; I can barely move it with my thumb while holding the camera steady to my eye, and when I do, I'm never sure how much I moved it because I generally overshoot. And no, Godfrey, you can't reassign this to another dial. Related to this issue is the shutter speed dial, which is even tighter, making it impossible for me to shoot in Tv mode (unless I'm happy picking a single speed and not changing it dynamically in real time as I shoot).

Re: Question: Skiing and Photography
Christine, Once upon a time (in the film era) I spent a week every winter for about 18 years doing lots of ski shooting--lessons, open skiing, races. I used a Super Program at first, then a PZ-1 and PZ-1p. Observations, in no particular order: - Jeez, it is COLD when you're standing at the side of a slope (e.g. shooting races), not skiing. - Practice handling your camera with gloves before you're out on the slopes. Things feel different. - I took a 70-210 or 80-320 in a fanny pack to minimize bulk and maximize accessibility. - Anything throws one's balance off, though, so one must ski carefully when carrying the camera stuff. Falling on a camera hurts both the camera and oneself. - One's natural tendency is to make the ground level in the frame, which makes it appear as though the slope isn't very steep (even when it is). So finding a vertical reference and paying attention to it will produce more dramatic shots. - Snow is remarkably bright; so shooting with wide latitiude (print film then, low ISO now) is good for bringing out details in the subjects later.

I went skiing a few years ago with one of my brothers and his family, who are very good skiers. It's the only time I've skiied. It was the film era and I was using a Contax with Zeiss lenses.

Shame there are no custom camera builders, like there are tailors, architects or carpinters; at this point I get so worked up by imperfect cameras that I'd be willing to pay a decent chunk of money for one, even if it's APS-C. If camera makers opened up their firmware, then I'd probably be able to end up with a 98% perfect camera for no extra money, but nobody listens to Thom Hogan, let alone to me :-/ For me, Olympus got it so nearly, perfectly right with the E-1 and then the E-M1 bodies. Button and dial placement on both is outstanding, shape and grip size just naturally falls to hand with the dials easily accessible. And the E-M1 is so configurable, with 9 or 10 of the buttons, levers, and dials customizable, it's pretty much able to be configured for nearly anyone's preferences. By comparison, the Sony A7 is clunky, a bit rough around the edges. What saves it is the excellent sensor, and the fact that I have a kit of superb lenses looking for a body to work with. :-) G -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.

PESO 2014 - 037 - GDG
Still working photos from a week ago, but I'm feeling better finally. http://www.flickr.com/photos/gdgphoto/12282239614/ There was something pure and attractive about the way this bicycle looked. Very appealing to my eye. Thanks for looking. Comments always appreciated.

Re: Question: Adobe Creative Cloud

Paul via phone http://itlaw.wikia.com/wiki/Malware_propagation_vector Paul, let me suggest to you that by being very widely spread application, Adobe Reader attracts great deal of attention of malware producers. Further, it stands to reason that the bugs or exploits that allow malware to sneak in, so to say, are more likely to have to do with more advanced features of the software (*). Thus, by installing a 3rd party PDF reader (less spread, less fancy) you increase your potential security. Of course, it is up to you to decide how to proceed. I just don't like the notion of having a huge(**) program installed on my computer doing relatively simple thing - showing me a PDF document (I don't recall having to sign a PDF document or doing anything fancier than marking the lines in my credit card statement). Boris (*) That is, assuming that Adobe cares about its users security and hence applies necessary technological means to secure their software. (**) Very basic PDF viewer, such as SumatraPDF is order of 5 MB...

Nice one Dan. It's always good to see some interesting foreground in a sunset picture and the silhouettes of the palms do the job admirably. Chris On 1 February 2014 22:59, Daniel J.
