photoshop is a powerful tool but there are so many lovely hang ups

like how if u want a don't size above 72 points u have to type it
or if u want to change spacing you have to type it
where are te sliders
if if u want to change font colour u need to select the text so u can't see the change until you deselect it

and there are
probably ways around these but they are not obvious and require some weird key combo and they should just update their UI


the guys who make blender should make a photoshop killer

photoshop excels in different colour spaces and printing and that poo poo isn't easy of course but the painting/editing part needs an overhaul and people who make money using photoshop need to allow them to do it and change so that somethin better can come out other end

it's crow time again

pagancow posted:

Not when you get bug and feature enhancements all the time.

The older model sucked more

old Adobe way:

1) Ship product

2) bug fixes for 6 months tops

3) work on next version and never fix anything untill you drop another cool 2 grand on the next version

4) go to one

The new way:

1) pay 30-50 a month

2) perpetual updates, and features being added.

If all you do is try to create alpha channels on still images then yeah you're going to feel like you're getting robbed

yeah the old adobe model is also trash, but i just hate subscriptions. i bought cs5 once and now i never have to pay for it again
(also if you ever tried getting a student discount from adobe it's insanely more anal retentive and dumb than doing it from like, microsoft, where i just put in my student email and they went "yes" and i got w7)

Today is Friday. your history lesson for the day is something awful before they got a bunch of sub forums use to do "Photoshop Fridays" where there would be a challenge and you had to show off your pixel editing tools to make funny images that would be shown on the front page.

this is all before Adobe was trying to protect their trademark from being so generic that they would loose it like what happened to Xerox.

I CAN'T HELP BUT DERAIL THREADS WITH MY VERY PRESENCE

I ALSO HAVE A CLOUD OF DEDICATED IDIOTS FOLLOWING ME SHITTING UP EVERY THREAD I POST IN

IGNORE ME AND ANY DINOSAUR THAT FIGHTS WITH ME BECAUSE WE JUST CAN'T SHUT UP
Having to use GIMP on the uni linux machines was the worst experience of my life. Everything is so unbelievable unintuitive, like someone had said, "hey, how can we make this not conform to anything in the world?" then went on to piss all over itself.
