I have a local colleague that upgraded to the "6" sweet. Not cloud version. He tells me the dark screen with PS is not easy to work with. I should stick with "5".
For me, I am continuing with PS CS5. I am not one to keep up with the Jones' or keep up with upgrades. My "ancient" Canon EOS 1Ds MK ii, is just fine. All I need is the
lens, shutter, full frame sensor. Well, my brain and training as well. I mean, what's the point of the EOS 5D III? Still use the same "L" lenses. Right? As I said some weeks ago, the film machines I used never needed anything except an occasional cleaning. (not to mention burning the contact points inside the shutter because I did not know the energy from the strobes was arcing in those contacts. I use the same strobes with the WEIN device that limits the energy to contacts) Anyway, films changed, wether is was sheet film, 220, or 35 mm.
The tool I need today CMS, is to get my clients' original art, reproduced as close as possible to the original. Very little is used in PS or LR4. CMS is vital to my workflow, more so than any tools. Without CMS, I wouldn't have any use for PS or LR. Or Gimp….hee hee!
I used to waste my time attempting other large format print shops in my town, to emerge themselves in CMS. Nope! Cost them too much cash. Yes, I bill for me CMS time. What they preferred to do was keep creating artist proofs over and over again until they thought they got the final print the way their client wanted. One, in town closed, and the other, in town, gave up fine art printing.
I learned at an early age, the lens was the first most important part of a camera. Second was the shutter, Third was the viewfinder. I am old! And I believe in the old things I learned at an early age. With this in mind, my whole being was enticed with the Rollei. First the 'cord, then finally a pair of 'flex's. Looking at the finished image on the ground glass has always been wonderful. "course I don't have that now. Shame. I still have the Horseman 450 though. Don't use it. Now, that is a shame.
Cheers to all
