Though I know that with my Photoshop license I can install the program on another computer – and due to CreativeCloud I can also install the program on a Windows machine as well. Windows, on the other had, I only know from work where I don’t really use it to process photographs. Might be that the problem is that I use the advanced features too much and therefore I miss a lot of things and might get used to it over time.īut working with other programs was really disastrous: All the RAW programs available put some brownish colour over all the pictures that I couldn’t get rid of (at least not very quickly) – and the HDR program only produced ridiculous results that all looked much worse that even the high or low exposure pictures. But the lack of sensitivity I noticed all over the program and a lot of photos I tried to process with Gimp I deleted and then started again in Photoshop. However, cropping and masking elements in a photo is not as easy because the tools don’t work as sensitive as in Photoshop. The best program probably is Gimp which has some functions similar to Photoshop.
However, when I started to try out the software available for processing photographs I was not really happy. I also like the graphical interface with makes it really easy to use and the office programs and browsers available all work very well. It was the only system that seemed to have all the drivers to make full use of the hardware. The notebook I bought came without an operating system and I tried several Linux distributions till I finally decided that Ubuntu works best. However, the price for a simple Apple notebook is very high, considering you can find a good laptop for less than a quarter of the price, which also comes with a DVD drive and a card reader. Therefore I recently decided to buy a notebook which I can use for traveling. Also, some apps down-scale the photos, which is okay for the web, but not really if you want to do large prints. I mainly used a tablet computer but as you have to use several apps which all save the picture a new, the small hard drive is full very quickly. However, when I travel I sometimes end up in little villages where you can not really do anything at night and so I like to work on some photographs that I can also upload here from the road.

On the other hand, I like Apple, because there are still a lot of creative programs around that do not exist for other platforms and therefore I like to keep true to Mac OS X. I’m especially unhappy with some programs needing a lot of time to just open (and I’m not talking Photoshop here, but programs like Apple’s iWork programs, or their browser Safari). (My current computer had to be repaired a couple of times – something I never experienced with Apple hardware before!) I have the feeling that there are much more problems and the system itself needs much more resources. Though in recent years I’m not too happy anymore, which basically started when Apple decided to switch to Intel processors.
When I bought my first Apple computer more that 10 years ago I was amazed how well everything worked.
