Try hitting it.

If that fails, try hitting it harder.

Bigger hammer.

If it wont move force it, if it breaks, it needed replacing anyway.

[Xsannz]

When i breaks just blame earthquake.  Or tornado.

Just use photoshop!

Lightroom has it's place, easier to manage and edit large albums for not so intensive tasks and for newbies into photoshop/editing scene

[Xsannz]

Use ms paint or go pro and use office image editor.

Or just be a l33t photographer then you dont need to post process.

Better yet just get an instagram camera.

That way your client gets the photos posr processed in some shitty instagram default theme and uploaded straight away.

I still almost wet myself with internal laughter every time someone tries to say gimp is an equal replacement to photoshop

[Growler]

GAH!

just turned down a magazine photo shoot....... must stick to guns and make my holidays about family!

[Xsannz]

CODEX.  What you mean almost wet yourself...  Ive seen you in the nappies isle at the supermarket getting the extra absorbent gel filled newborn sized ones because the adult ones you could camp in.

[Apostrophe Spacemonkey]

Hey guys, what should we call our photo editing product?

Let's call it Gimp.

You mean like a guy dressed in a black leather suit?

Yeah, that's a great name for a photo editing product.

Somehow this conversation actually happend.

I saw chobolix at bunnings in the weekend with his missus, he even folded the wing mirrors in on his subaru..... did you find the present I left for you, if you haven't you should start smelling it soon..............................SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON

GNU Image Manipulation Program.

I know.

But still. I don't like using it because of its name, and the fact that I don't like using it.

Just use photoshop!

I prefer lightroom, have used photoshop for years and it just doesn't cut the mustard when it comes to importing and working on large amounts of photos, not to mention
Lightrooms backup/gallery/albums/batch processing and just ease of use is the bees knees.

GAH!

I'll do it, with my 600D and a 1.8 50mm HAhahaha.. what a joke, I'd get laughed out the building by some fullframefags.

If you shoot raw, mass editing in PS is a breeeeeeze, like super duper mega awesome simple! I will give LR catalogue the thumbs up!

I must look at LR4 and see if they have improved on the bits I didn't like. I think my biggest hurdle is I have used PS since 1996 and it's all just 2nd knowledge to me now.

Yah, that'd probably be the reason haha, but yeah man - I'm really liking LR4 (apart from the issue I mentioned before.. but I think it'd be relating to only having 8GBs of RAM and this thing is a resource hog)

Give it a hoon

[Xsannz]

8gb shoukd be fine..  Is all your ram the same type?  Otherwise sounds like a memory leak or error.

Or if your cpu is overclocked an instability in that...

Bc2 and lr4 used to cause my oc amd chip bluescreens something wicked.

Codex can attest to that.

dedicated scratch disk = awesome for PS/LR. A dedicated 60GB SSD for PS/LR would speed you up to ludicrous speed!

LR and PS are currently installed on my 60GB SSD with the cache/backup onto a 320GB and a secondary backup on my 1TB haha..
lets just say I'd probably be very angry if I lost my photos of my son so that's why I have the backup*2 haha
