jcornuz.wordpress.com — Graphics and photography have been Apple?s chasse gard?e for years but for quite some time, MS Windows is on par with the Mac and the system of choice for photographers boils down to personal preferences more than anything else. So what about Linux then?

Pixel is all but dead and has not seen an update in ages. It only cost me about $30 when I bought it so no big whoop but it has a lone developer who doesn't even answer questions on the pixel forums anymore.

If I only had $2000 to spare I know what I would spend my money on. A decent camera. Having no money left for a mac and photoshop / aperture it is nice knowing what tools are available for Linux.

Until Adobe make a port of Photoshop it's a non-starter.

@kelmon: Software doesn't weigh anything. So wait, Aperture and Lightroom are worth nothing???

@ mrBitch (aptly named apparently)I posted my "idiotic comment" twice because it was applicable in two places...and because i knew mac fanboys would dig me down out of sheer dedication to the brand. Now to my comment...what exactly about it was idiotic? The fact that everything I said was true?@ Kelmon"nimrod" eh? scary!moving on....yeah yeah, you can keep talking about transition periods, but if I recall correctly, that would mean you'll have 2 transition versions out of a possible 3. (CS2 not playing nicely/natively with intel-macs and now to a 64 bit os). Sounds like mac owners have spent a lot more time sitting on their hands waiting (either for their computer to keep up, or waiting for processors/operating systems to jive correctly)Oh, and as far as color profiling is concerned, I have 3 calibrated monitors (one wide gamut for aRGB, the other 2 sRGB) all properly calibrated and profiled. That, plus the addition of firefox 3 (which is also color managed) means 90% of my time I'm fully calibrated, and you'll excuse me if I'm not real worried about the hues on a word document...my underlining doesn't need to be color correct.
