I awoke this morning relaxed and in a good mood... then my day was ruined. Before reading this post, I knew that East is East and West is West, and "God's in his Heaven/All's right with the world!"

To me Lightroom was a tool to wake up Raw Files for those who could not afford a camera that did it for them generating fine JPEG photos within. Those cameras that were poorly engineered that they needed sensors that were the size of old 35mm film instead of neat efficient sensors in compacts with one-do-all lenses. Raw sort of being a film base throwback. Lightroom had limited abilities compared to PS... simple and comfortable way to view life in the Digital Age if Images, OK?

Then, this upstart Dngallagher made the absurd disturbing statement "Lightroom is a parametric editor, where PSE & Photoshop are PIXEL editors - they each do different functions in reality." Parametric editor??? What the hell?

Now instead of taking photos I will sitting with friends Friday night discussing Philosophy of PIXEL vs PARAMETRIC EDITING. Probably my friend Jim, blind since birth, having a PhD in Philosophy and Suzan a Psychologist will be the major forces in the discussion especially when the reality that Dngallagher spoke of dissolves in ethanol. Both feel that Reality is Now, not some 2d photo of the interpretive past.

Dngallagher go soak your head in Developer, Stopbath, and Fixer.... I only need to DO, not Know... yet I am now compelled to dig deep into the LR vs PS editing philosophy vs taking great photos... MY DAY IS RUINED....
