Dvorak on 'Rinky-Dink' Software Rant

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the do-my-bidding dept.

DigitalDame2 writes "John C. Dvorak explores the trials and tribulations of photo editing software and why it's so difficult to use. Unless you are using these programs full-time, you spend a lot of time trying to figure things out. Is it too much to ask for a simple and powerful software program that can do the 45 things photographers do most in Photoshop?"

    I don't know about you, but I'm not sure I want any program finding all the photos I've got - even if I have forgotten about them!

    Digital camera: $300.
    Getting a cute coed drunk: $15.
    The look on your kids' face when they realize that the pictures Picasa unearthed were of Mommy: priceless.

    Best text+sig combination I expect to read this week.

    Dewey, what part of this looks like authorities should be involved?

    Unfortunately, you forget that many kids can use Photoshop functions while many adults struggle to use MS Paint.
