Yes, you're right. I initially didn't see any reason to differentiate, but I remember the existential dread over the future of Dreamweaver, too.

Adobe’s unpopularity can be traced back to a decision it made over 10 years ago when it shifted from perpetual software licensing to subscription pricing.

I've heard people shitting on Adobe since CS3 and I started shitting on them at CS4. Adobe acquiring Flash was such a dark moment for so many creators.

1. Swiss cheese slices: make them holes too tight.
2. When you run everything as root, if you fuck your shit, your shit's fucked.

"Best practices" tend to come from other people's whoopsies. But it's always good to question things, too.

When he used to suck off all his friends and their buddies, it was just doing some brothers a favor. But ever since getting scanned at the airport, he's starting to suspect that he might have tasted 300 dicks because he likes it.

They scanned me, so I frisked them

My top four hypotheses:

1. Gotta finish putting together an incentive package so that he won't talk about what he saw and experienced
2. Need more time to find a living prisoner who looks like him
3. Trying to figure out which mass grave he's in
4. Someone is Googling "can they get DNA from ashes"

I'm just guessing though, so I don't know if this is helpful at all.

Any information is helpful and I truly appreciate you taking the time to summarize your workflow. I've actually never monitored the histogram outside of snapping the photo, so that alone is a great suggestion. I generally edit by eye and kinda feel my way through, but using a metric sounds like a great idea! It also makes a lot more sense if you're right about RT/DT being more "literal."

I know I haven't given enough time to either piece of software, but I've been so shocked by how little of my process carried over, that I kinda ran away in fear almost immediately.

Next month: US and China tariffs raised to 100bajillion%. One guy buys an off-brand Pokemon plushie on Amazon and the entire world economy crashes.

I have, but with terrible results. Can you recommend some tutorials? The behavior of various tools always surprises me, coming from Adobe raw and Lightroom.

For example, reducing contrast in Adobe tones down highlights and shadows while doing that in dark table and rawtherapee turns everything washed out and grey.

Yeah, so here's my general process batch-editing photos in Adobe Camera Raw:

1. Drop the contrast
2. Drop the highlights
3. Punch up the shadows
4. Boost whites and blacks
5. Adjust white balance
6. Adjust exposure

When I'm done, I have a stark, professional looking photo to export. In darktable, trying this leaves me with a grey mess. I've also tried rawtherapee, but with even worse results. I'm 96% sure that the problem is me, though.

That's the man who murdered my brother!

I've been on Linux as my primary OS for around a year now. I'm still looking for a replacement for Lightroom and camera raw that doesn't absolutely crush any image I'm working on.
