New Photoshop competitor

Will do Douglas.
I’m working with the Beta right now. So far it looks really cool. I like how you can hover over an area and it shows you what it’s going to look like before you do it.
It also has a undo brush so you can hover over an area that you worked on earlier and decide if you want to change just that one fix you made. Really like that!
I’m just getting started with it but liking what I’m seeing.

It is worth noting in the discussion that if all you need is image editing, there is a photo plan that includes Photoshop and Lightroom for $9.99 per month as a standard ongoing price.

And to paraphrase a saying we’ve all heard and used in the past, “No one ever got fired for using Photoshop.” 😉
It is after all the de facto standard image editor and for good reason.

First of all, most of us are here because we didn’t take the cautious or easy route. If we did we’d all be using edit controllers, not NLE’s.
As far as being the de facto standard… that’s the way it always is… right up until it changes. If you want to keep whistling past the graveyard, feel free to do so…

I think I heard Avid folks taking this approach…right before FCP3….

Ah Yai Yai!
Mitch and Scott – I was not responding in any way from a position of arrogance. I was pointing out two things: First, that there is a product plan offering if you just want Photoshop that is very compelling from a pricing point of view. Second, that Photoshop is the standard image editing platform for several good reasons which we all know.
Nothing more, nothing less. I often say to others that email does not always convey the tone and thus the true intention of the content. I guess this email was one of these.

[tony west] “Designing Logos is moot to my work. The clients provide their logos. I guess that somebody else made in Photoshop. I have no interest in that end.”
I typically never get logos in an edit-ready format, so Photoshop is indispensable for me even though I’ve not a graphics designer. If I need to doctor a few photos or something I can batch-automate, then I’ll use Photoshop for that. Otherwise Aperture/Lightroom are vastly superior for dealing with a load of photos. Especially since everything you do is non-destructive.

This looks like a great image editing and creation option, especially for those of us who don’t really care about being fired for using a specific professional tool (or not). Playing with the beta now.

15 years later Avid knowledge is still relevant and FCP Legend knowledge is on borrowed time. 😉

No doubt, I will prep logos in Photoshop also. I think most of us do that. That’s different from “designing
Logos.”I might be using this new app for that though in the future, thanks to your post Oliver : )

Every time I’ve ever seen you post you’ve been polite and reasonable. Speaking solely for myself, any comments probably only reflect a massive dislike for the rental software model. You personally have always been a fine fellow.
Best,
John
