Adobe Lightroom and/or Adobe lazyness?


Recommended Posts

Jobs was referring to Flash. He points to flash as the cause of the instability problems of Safari. He don't want flash in the iPhone or the iPad due to this reason. That is all.

 

I find Apple more lazy than Adobe regarding RAW development software...

LR is so good that I hardly use PS anymore.

This being said, C1 is marginally better if you want to get the best out of your DNGs. I just don't find the difference to be worth the hassle of the extra step - but that's just me.

Can't compare to Aperture, as I'm a Win user.

Jobs was referring to Adobe for laziness as a whole, and not just for their flash, which was the reason of his burst of course. Anyway this has sparked that rumor and now it resonates everywhere. You have a great % of people bashing Adobe, calling them lazy and that they must change and so on and so on.

 

With the advent of the ipad and the multitouch OS I would really love to see some software using fingers for post processing, instead of mouse and keyboard. That is the real revolution the ipad will bring for me.

I really would love to see you performing localized corrections with your fingers on an Ipad. It would drive you nuts after 30 minutes. Unluckily, we have no "reduce size of finger" function in our body design ;)

I'd also love to see the iPad install an actual raw processing application, being that it runs iPhone OS 3.2 and not OS-X. And on the off-chance that someone does create such a thing, I'd love to see the 1GHz arm-derivative processor and rumoured 512mb of RAM handle a raw file, or a tiff file with layers, masks and localised adjustments.

 

I think what you want is a Cintiq and an Apple Mac Pro.

 

Or a good tablet with a Wacom digitizer. You don't want to use your fingers for image manipulation, trust me.

Of course I want to use my fingers :p

Thats why they are there in the first place aren't they?

We are lucky to have 2 special tools (hands) and we don't know how to use them to manipulate screen objects???

Then how can a surgeon operate??

It's just a question of a good and intuitive interface. Surely you don't expect that a 30 years old mouse is gonna stick with use for 30 years more ...

O.T.

There's a commercial problem with Flash too (the main issue perhaps).

Some suspect that a "free" platform for games and apps may be counterproductive for the AppStore.

:rolleyes:

Having foolishly lost swathes of images from LR since I believed I was merely deleting from its complicated catalogues, rather than deleting from my hard drive, I have every reason to despise the program. But gradually I am finding it does a better job with DNGs to Tiffs than C1 v5. Frustratingly, I can see all those lost files in LR Library but cannot do more than mourn their unavailability for printing.

What like the rangefinder or the wheel? Sometimes there is just something that works and stays with us.

Sure they work. But again they have their limitations.

And the fact they work doesn't mean that something else might be better.

To work with a mouse you need a surface, to work with a wacom you need the thing and the surface, as well as all the rest usual stuff: screen, main unit or just a laptop.

Imagine the scale of freedom a tablet gives with nothing than multitouch interface. I believe its the future, but I guess we will know soon enough

I love Lightroom and I bought Aperture when I bought an Apple and after about half hour went back to Lightroom. Admittedly, I didn't spend a lot of time with Aperture, but the reason was that it was not intuitive to me and I was very happy with Lightroom. The only reason I experimented was because I was curious.

 

As for Adobe, Jobs may be right, but I would note that the Safari web browser doesn't work with a whole bunch of main stream sites, including ebay postings, my mainstream brokerage firm, and typepad blogs. So you can make the same case about Apple.

 

I wish Jobs would get with the Flash program. It is preinstalled on 97% or so of all Windows computers, it is industry standard, and it is very good. He may wish Flash would disappear, but it isn't going to so he should get with the program.

I commiserate with you - and know that sinking feeling after a badly prepared button-click :eek: - but do you really keep only one copy of your pictures? During my recent 6 weeks vacantion very far away, every evening I first copied a days' harvest on a netbook's harddrive and then on two different - but very light - usb drives. Three copies in all!

 

Only thereafter I started LR on the netbook to have a look :)

If your on Windows check Undelete Software for Windows - WinUndelete It's saved my life more times than I care to remember... :cool:

 

You'll be astounded how many files are still sitting there...
