This year's Cape Lookout gig is one week shy of half over. Time flies.
Today is cold, gray, and windy. Here is a photo of the street where I've lived for the past two months:
On a normal July day the road would be full of kids on almost everything with wheels. It is amazing to watch kids as young as two pushing scooters, skateboards, and bicycles down the road. One group has an electric "jeep" that I've seen carrying seven and most had bicycle helmets on.
With retirement I no longer wish to afford the $50+ US dollars a month that Adobe charges for the "Creative Cloud". Instead I'm using Gimp instead of Photoshop and Light Room. I've used Photoshop almost from the first of the digital age and know it, Gimp not so much. If the page or photos load too slowly let me know so I can dig around in Gimp and fix the problem.

Sylvain,
DeleteThanks, that helps.

I love Gimp, take the time to play with it and you will be amazed how much powerful it is. If you look for a lightroom alternative, take a look at RawTherapy or Darktable.
ReplyDeleteLionel, head down in the galley under counter cabinet.
Lionel,
DeleteI really do not need Photoshop power anymore, almost any program that will allow resizing and saving as a jpeg would work. Gimp is, I expect, overkill I just need spend a little time mucking around with it.
BTW, I've done the same with Microsoft "Office" and have gone to NeoOffice. Retiring is liberating.
I've changed my blackwater procedure (when I start the backwash) and it seems to work. Next up is a vent fan that has stopped working, Instead of under a galley cabinet I'll be on the roof.
It is never ending, good luck under the galley.

Does Adobe still sell Photoshop Elements? I've used that in the past and it was a low cost one time expense (more than Gimp of course).
ReplyDeleteSteve,
DeleteThanks.
I do not do shows or sell prints anymore almost any program will work for what I need. You don't need much if almost all your photography is done with an iPhone ;-). I keep the battery charged on the Fuji and I think I can find it but it is as overkill as Photoshop.
