I'm not normally one to crap on ideas, but this seems like a bad idea. It's the kind of thing people will latch on to for a few months out of novelty and then quickly abandon it when they figure out what a pain in the rear end it is.

Sounds like a great idea: they sell the system at a healthy profit and get to drop the consumable support for it 12 months after they stop selling units.

Well, a great idea for their balance sheet.

Could you give me an example of such a moment?

When you buy a Leica and try to justify the expense.

I see Gregory Crewdson finally has another collection out: [http://time.com/4166380/discover-gregory-crewdsons-new-surreal-photographs/]Cathedral of the Pines[/url]. I have to say, they don't immediately grab me like Twilight or Beneath the Roses.

I'm not sure the photo quality is due to radiation though.. everything I've seen says that when particles hit film, it tends to create overexposed points.

eg: http://www.shimpeitakeda.com/trace/

The elephant foot photo just looks like jpeg artifacts to me. I wonder where the original photo lives.

I can guarantee you there's a first assistant who's not getting paid nearly enough to do all the work involved, down to spinning the dials on that 'thanks dad' Leica.

I've made a huge mistake.
He's a step up from the usual 'celebrity does a photoshoot' in that he apparently wants to be a fashion photographer rather than just doing it as a name-in-the-press stunt. It is a stunt for Burberry, l think less so for him.

And weep for Leica. Based on the behind-the-scene photos, he used a 5Diii...

I saw a mention of Adobe's hands-on-ears-la-la-la denial of language in The Economist not long ago. Their take on it was pretty much "pick your battles, Adobe".

How many photoshops of Adobe execs are out there, with comic sans text and big-rear end copyright symbols placed ironically?

Pretty sure that Adobe thing is just a media style guide. All large companies have those. Apple's is pretty elaborate.

E: It does have a kind of dick tone to it, but after two decades of professional news publications calling people "photoshoppers" and poo poo I can kind of understand it.

You guys probably know this but isn't it because trademark law requires you to enforce it otherwise it can slip into public domain? It's probably done so no one can claim they're completely neglecting usage of it.

Again, it's somewhat "lol" when you read it, but they basically have to do that in order to protect their brand. Shocking that a company would want to at least attempt to protect their brand, right?

It's the shouting at the tide thing that I find amusing. Yes, in actual publications - newspapers, company websites, professional resumes, etc. - you should respect the copyright stuff. It is important, at that level.

But Adobe looks like they're trying to dictate English as-she-is-spoke, the popular use of words and grammar that evolves spontaneously. Getting your copyright commodified ("Kleenex"; "Hoover", etc.) is a business opportunity, not some snotty kid with a hate-on for your brand. Adobe should run with it - "Learn to photoshop with the people who made Photoshop possible" or something.

But if you use that language in an official capacity, you open yourself up to losing your copyright/trademark of the phrase Photoshop. If Adobe starts using photoshop as a common word for digitally modifying an image, it could potentially give ammo to, say, Paint Shop Pro to argue they should be allowed to say stuff like "Paint Shop Pro lets you photoshop your photos like the pros at half the cost". Is Paint Shop Pro still even a thing, by the way?

The caption for the photo in the mashable link says it wasn't staged, claims the photographer felt it was an unremarkable photo so never printed it. No real certification beyond that.
