Re: Colorsync-users Digest, Vol 10, Issue 79
Fully agree with Andrew's point. Vote with your wallets folks... Current users can survive much longer with their copies of CS6 than Adobe can survive without enough new "subscribers". Nothing very compelling about Adobes'new CC offerings. Our students are already asking about the best Adobe alternatives... Gimp for mac OSX is a good one. Here are some others...

Exactly the same thing that happens when you stop paying your phone bill, your ISP bill, or any subscription, the service stops working.
There are some advantages and disadvantages to this new mode. It's not black and white. But the bottom line is simply: If you don't like the model, don't buy into it.

Our students are already asking about the best Adobe alternatives... Gimp
When GIMP is fully 16 bit and ProPhoto RGB, I will consider it. I did not check it today. Cheers to all David B Miller, Pharm.

Last time I looked this was a Apple Colorsync list-serve. I am not sure what Adobe's business model has to do with either Apple or Colorsync. Thank you all for moving this from a dead list-serve to a annoying one. Bye Dana Rasmussen Seattle On May 8, 2013, at 10:03 AM, Barry Gorrell <bgorrell@cecil.edu> wrote:

And, too, Iliah, your own Raw Photo Processor for developing raw files. If color is what you care about...well, I haven't found anything that produces better quality (if you know what you're doing). Cheers, b&
