Nobody here said anything about problems uninstalling Photoshop.

You criticize my ability as a professional photographer - on what grounds?

You really are showing your ignorance and stupidity.

Photoshop is also used to apply special effects, removal of pimples, correct
lens distortions etc.

Stick to what you know you are talking about!!

Do you process 1000's of images regularly in photoshop?

If so, have you looked in the registry to see how many entries are built
up these images?


So what? And why aren't you ranting at the makers of the clearly poorly
designed PhotoShop, rather than trying to blame Vista for another
product's inadequacies? And you still haven't offered any evidense to
suggest that these entries hinder performance in any way.


I am a professional photographer and far from an inexperienced home
computer user.



No meaningful difference, for the purposes of this discussion, though.
Being a "professional photographer" (why would a skilled, professional
photographer even need to use PhotoShop? I though PhotoShop was primarily
used to alter and correct the photographer's mistakes.) hardly makes you
an experienced computer technician.

BTW I seriously hope microsoft brings out a much better OS than Vista
Ultimate 64, otherwise I'm switching to some other OS.



Feel free. Good luck with that. (Although, if you can't learn to handle
Vista, I'd suggest you stick to something that requires even less
technical ability: get an Apple; you'd never manage Linux.)


For those defenders of the realm (microsoft) why is it that the majority
of businesses aren't using Vista?



"Majority?" Where do you get your numbers? Can you substantiate that
claim? No matter. I'd have thought that a "professional photographer,"
being in business, himself, would understand that no responsible business
is likely to do a wholesale migration to a new OS just because it's the
"newest and shiniest." Businesses upgrade primarily through attrition:
they don't invest in new technologies/software until it's clear that the
old equipment and OS can no longer meet their needs.

I certainly wouldn't hire a photographer who (1) felt the need for
special effects to distract from the subject of the photograph, (2)
needed software to hide blemishes, or (3) used defective lenses to start
with.

Drop it. You are just showing your total and absolute ignorance of
digital imagery here.

I doubt if there is ANY pro photographer who could function without
Photoshop when dealing with digital images.

If you are meaning to say that he is clueless about the subject and

Then you wouldn't want to hire a professional film photographer
either. Photoshop does with digital images what filters, dodging,
burning, different papers, etc. do for film images after a picture has
been taken.

Stick to something you supposedly know about.

You mean just the way the photographer was demonstrating his ignorance
of computers? Did the point get across?

No attempt to weasel out on your part will work here. The post I
replied to had no mention of anything but the use of Photoshop by a
photographer:

If "*your*" is aimed at me...

It's "purported", and - relatively speaking - my knowledge of
computers is vastly superior to your knowledge of either film or
digital photography.
