A place to politely discuss the tools, technique and culture of photography.
This is not a good place to simply share cool photos/videos or promote your own work and projects, but rather a place to discuss photography as an art and post things that would be of interest to other photographers.

I honestly don’t understand the hate for Adobe.
Is it the subscription model? Ya… business is business. Please suggest a better model that funds software development consistently. I hated it initially, but like not having to buy and install updates all the time.
Is it the performance of the tool? Usability? These are both great to me…
I mean you get what you pay for, more or less. There are other good tools out there, but nothing that is way better all-around that I’ve seen.
We used to exchange R1 for $1. Now it is 20 to 1. So paying per month is just too expensive.
When R1 was $1, a meal at a restaurant with your family might cost R50
Now a meal with your family can cost R1000.
It is the value of your currency that has changed, not the value of the software.
And that is why we cannot afford it. Unless you are doing very well in your photography field, these extra costs simply drain your bank balance.
