Before you criticize someone, walk a mile in their shoes. That way when you do criticize them you'll be
a mile away and you'll have their shoes.
Those are contact printing frames. They hold the negative and paper in close contact for exposure under an appropriate light source.
What do I intend to do about Photoshop? Same as I've been doing for years. Of course, some day I probably should learn how to use it.
I'm resaving all my most important and future images as TIFs rather than PSDs so that they will be compatible with other software in the future. And after gripping, I am going to subscribe to CC for the $10/month first year deal offered to CS6 users. However I am letting the rest of my CS6 apps sit tight because I don't need them as much as I do Photoshop. If I need InDesign CC then I can rent it for the month or two the project requires it, or use Pages or other options.
I'm also giving up on Lightroom because I've never gotten along with it and don't shoot enough digital to benefit from its workflow, ACR and Bridge do just fine.
Hopefully competition results in some valid alternatives or at least forces Adobe to lower its prices.
Adobe will only make the minimum from me, and actually lose money because I used to upgrade the entire Suite but no longer. And they have lost my loyalty, as long as I can retain 16-bit high quality images and printing in my workflow, I'll jump to a competitive option even if it isn't as "feature-packed" as Photoshop.
