Start coding when you have a usable Alpha, let me know.
Why would I want to do that?
There are quite a few "experts" around these parts who are too busy
sucking on Adobe's teats to offer independent advice about anything.
Maybe you'd care to respond to the bits of my post that you snipped
away?
Here's a reminder:
Personally, I'd really like the discussion to be more Apple-
centric - but I doubt that would go down well either amongst the
Adobe-centric discussions?
I'd really like to hear from somebody like you about why Apple
have been so reluctant to develop a product in Photoshop's market?
The Mac OS had a 2-3 year window where the Core Image APIs could
be used to do the work that Photoshop does in a much faster, more
efficient manner. Developers got Core Image Fun House and we saw a
couple of interesting third party apps - but Apple did *nothing*.
And, as usual, we see more interesting stuff at the WWDC with
Steve Jobs doing 64-bit retouching faster than Photoshop is
capable of.
Technologies like Quartz Composer are mind-blowing in their power
and the uniqueness of the interface - why haven't these been
developed as a new Pro retouching app by Apple?
I'd like to see some alternatives to Adobe products and I find it
infuriating that Apple have the technology but seem rather
reluctant to develop it. We would all benefit from alternative
solutions and I'd really like it if Apple provided them.
Perhaps Adobe have a "white paper" on this matter that you can post
a link for - just so that we all know where the boundaries of the
debate should be...
Perhaps Martin isn't using the right tones,
but he is hitting some interesting cords...
