1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

Not the first time I've been blamed for one's shortcomings

 

Oof

 

Stop talking about @Empty_Lord inability to reach the top shelf

 

Always picking on the little guy

 

@Abeyancer sent this to the other guys on FB lol

 

You started it, corporal baby gap

 

Whata stunner

 

lunch beer type of day

 

I signed up for a month of Adobe Photoshop to do some work for a buddy that I couldn't just do in gimp.


I guess I didn't read the terms of use because it's a $43 cancellation fee if I don't continue the $23/mo payments for a full year.

 

I probably would have forgotten and let the subscription run out but the constant cloud updates prompt me for my password every hour

 

Man I miss the days of just owning Photoshop and other Adobe programs outright. Was expensive ($400+ for student version) but at least you owned it from then on out.

Now it's a monthly subscription...Adobe probably rakes in way more $ long term this way. Luckily I have access to my work Adobe log-in at home if I need to use it outside the office. If I ever leave here though I'll have to get my own subscription...or hope that my CS5 version from 2015 still works (probably doesn't on current operating systems)

what kind of editing do you need to do?

 

I got sucked into some Adobe fee that hits me for $25 each month. I may need it after all. The new camera's pictures don't look at good as my Moto cell phone. Not sure how I will be able to make some close up pictures. The cell phone reds look like a Technicolor production which is good when making engine pictures.

 

My buddy asked me if I could touch up his business logo so he could order some merchandise and Gimp wasn't compatible with the format and transparency

 

I've never used any other editing program besides Adobe...I've wondered if they can recognize adobe files or not. Seems that would be a big downside to using them if they can't

I think .DNG is supposedly a universal hi res/raw format

 

what format is it in ?

 

Need a crash course on Lightroom if you're shooting in raw. Phones post process a ton on their own, welcome to the world of processing your own pics now.

 

DNG and TIF are pretty good, both compatible with transparency too

 

it was a PSD

 

Oh. that'll do it. Ew.

 

Pretty sure one of those was a highlander.
