How much do you love Photoshop?

[nan_...@adobeforums.com]

I mean really...is it like a relationship? Like you would never cheat on photoshop with another photo editing program? Or just a general preference?

I wanna know!!

Get serious!:D

Photoshop, she is like a good and faithful wife. Even if a new hot young thing came along I'd still stick with the old tried and true, becuase we're so comfortable with each other..

Unless the new young hottie did things old faithful had never even dreamed of doing, and wouldn't charge me an arm, a leg and a house to try them.

How much do you love Photoshop?

enough to put up with adobe calling me a thief by requiring activation... :P

[boblevine]

They're not calling you a thief anymore than your neighbor is by locking
their doors.

Inconveniencing you because others are thieves would be a better
description.

bob, get off the kool-ade. that analogy doesn't work. locked doors keep people out.

Inconveniencing you because others are thieves would be a better description.

there's another post here by me this morning... i can't explain it all again here...

[boblevine]

There's been a large number of car thefts in my area, Dave. All of them
have one thing in common...the owners left the cars unlocked and the
keys in them.

Bob

[dave_...@adobeforums.com]

sigh. again... straw man argument. NOTHING TO DO WITH ACTIVATION. thanks for playing. insert another quarter to try again... :)

[boblevine]

Got change for a dollar? :)

Bob

[dave_...@adobeforums.com]

sorry. there's activation on the change machine. and the servers are down. and the call center is in a foreign language, or don't believe you when you tell them the coin machine crashed. or that's last year's version of the coin machine. they only support this years version. go scream at people on the street corner until someone who knows how to fix them shows up (i.e. go to the user to user forums and ask there).

inconvenienced yet? :)

[dave_...@adobeforums.com]

inconvenienced yet?

tempted to download hte cracked version of the change machine? ;)

(after all, you've already given it your money and it won't give you any change!)

[boblevine]

Nah...I used a counterfeit dollar, anyway. :)

That wife costs you dearly up front, asks you for more money every 18 months to wear a few more baubles. Many times, she asks you to upgrade your digs or else she won't perform.

[David_E_...@adobeforums.com]

The ole gal isn't what she used to be. This high priced beta cougar came into my life demanding the best and refused to enter the house until I rebuilt it. She is so lazy now I have to poke her with a mouse curser to do anything. My fault though: I am a sucker for redheads :)

[KatW...@adobeforums.com]

I love Photoshop
I am not willing to switch to another (most likely inferior) product

got too much invested in learning (time) and archived files (layered psd's)
and like Microsoft it is most compatible with the most users I have to deal
with on output

and of course the most helpful people share their knowledge on newsgroups
like this for free and some even share their stuff at the Exchange, also for
(mostly) free
& has widely available tutorials
even though I whine alot about stuff I don't like, I LOVE working in PS!!!
(maybe we haven't told you so enough)

[OldBob]

Love? Well, someone (and I've seen it attributed to just about everyone) once said; "Democracy is the worst from of government… except for everything else."

The same can be said for PhotoShop re: graphics programs.

[dave_...@adobeforums.com]

Churchill, i think.

[Buko]

Its just a tool, If something better comes along I'll be on it like stink on sh!t.

[Don_Mc...@adobeforums.com]

Churchill used Photoshop?

[dave_...@adobeforums.com]

well i think monty used photoshop, but close...

[Lawrenc...@adobeforums.com]

He was the full Monty.....

How much do I love PS?

let me count the ways...

On second thought, ferget it. And the first though don't count :D

[dave_...@adobeforums.com]

larry, get off the volcano man! you're getting altitude drunk again! XD

[David_E_...@adobeforums.com]

Get a room.....

i'm not the only one saying these things! although sometimes i feel like a lonely voice crying in the wilderness... :)

Sleight Of Hand: If We Don't Call It DRM, We Can Pretend That DRM Is Gone
<http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20090327/1150494278.shtml>

Any business model they're talking about can work just fine without DRM.

It's not about "keeping honest people honest," because you don't have
to keep honest people honest -- that's why they're honest.

It's not about stopping unauthorized file sharing or "piracy," because
no DRM has yet been shown to do that at all.

It's not about "slowing down" unauthorized file sharing, because once
an unauthorized copy is out there, it gets pretty quickly copied everywhere.
One copy is all it takes and then nothing is "slowed down" at all.

The only thing DRM serves to do is get in the way of legitimate customers
trying to do what they want with content they thought they had legally
purchased. In other words, it destroys value for legitimate customers
-- and it's difficult to see any business rationale where that's an intelligent
move.

[David_E_...@adobeforums.com]

Oh, your not alone Dave. DRM protects very little anymore. Sooner or later a copy of something that is DRM protected will be stripped and put on the net. As written above DRM does not do me any good keeping me honest as I am already honest. However, I am considered in the same boat as the dishonest.
I am really scared when I read the FBI warning on a purchased DVD that I am viewing in my house.

[Rob_K...@adobeforums.com]

David,

Is it so that in the USA you're allowed by the FBI to actually view DVD's in your house?

This morning I had a pack of yoghurt that had a best before date of today 8:15 AM!

As it was 8:14 AM I shoved it in like an idiot, watching the second hand on the clock in order to stop in time!

Let's ban the Fear Industry.

[David_E_...@adobeforums.com]

Rob,
I was being (or trying to be) sarcastic about the warning. Yes, it does not make sense how I wrote it. I did not proof read before posting.

How much do I love Photoshop? I don't want to gross anyone out but, if Photoshop was a female I'd take her toes and...............

[Curvem...@adobeforums.com]

Photoshop's curves are almost exactly the same as the day we first met,
back in verson 3.0.

[Rob_K...@adobeforums.com]

David,

I was being (or trying to be) sarcastic about the warning

So was I! You did make sense to me, so I didn't think we were on cross purposes :-)

Rob

[Lawrenc...@adobeforums.com]

The best PS curves don't com close to a James Bond girl. Well, almost any of them.:D

[Rob_K...@adobeforums.com]

Goodnight. Goodnight!!!
