If your new camera won't work with an older Photoshop, then check out Affinity Photo. I put the smart money on: It will.

Speters, I'm impressed that you continue to do your Photoshop work on an old computer. It's fair to ask: Why not?

Since we all here are photographers, I thought this should go under Photography Discussion.

I've always wondered what others do when you replace your 6 or 8 or 10 year old computer with a brand new one, aside from turning it over to Recycle People, what have you done with your old(er) computer?

I have an Apple G-5 iMac, about 8 or 10 years old. It is sitting at my side desk, unused. It still functions, and believe it or not, it has PSCS4 on it, along with Microsoft programs. They all function, but with a much older OS, compared to today's operating systems. I'm currently use High Sierra, and happy of course.

My guess, nearly everyone here has gone through this cycle like me. I'd like to learn what you all have done with your "old or older" computers, especially if they were Apple computers.

And thanks for your feedback.

Be careful of the ego that often resides within a photo club. As mentioned here, this is for you, for us, to enjoy what we do. As pointed out, .jpg makes decisions for you, but RAW doesn't. They become your decisions, a way that you own the outcome.

One final thought. You began asking about software too. Like you, I'm a Mac user here. I've used Photoshop for nearly two decades. And now I'm studying Affinity Raw, and enjoying every single day in the process. It is friendlier than PS, and I've already found features absent in PS. Oh, one more thing it has: a single price of $49, and all updates are free.

If anyone would like copies of PS books, I have more than 20 of them. If you reside in St. Louis, you can have some of them for free, due to no shipping charge.

I am enjoying the endorsements of the EOS magazine. It is a great publication.

But can I yet tap your experiences for a good pdf reader please?
I have a great very-detailed and very long pdf, sort of an Affinity Photo Bible. It is extremely long, and very small print. Do you guys have a pdf reader that has options permitting us options.

I'm with sloscheider. What printviewer are you using?

May I add onto the new subtopic: dumbphone. We've had our smartphones, and my other half left it in the glove box, for more than 6 months. So, we didn't really need a smartphone to badly.

Soooooo, I found a company to sells CPR Callblocking equipment. We now have on on our landline (shocking?), and now a CPR Callblocking flip phone. Blocks Robocalls, and of those that make it through, I can simply add to the "Blacklist" and that call will never get through again. Soo, there can still be something good about the old-style flip phone.

I have an academic question to ask. If your "product" (camera body[s], etc.) are working just fine, is there a significant reason to update it?

Hear here! When I'm asked for my age, (very infrequently), I tell them the age of my birth certificate.

If asked to elaborate, I tell them my brain doesn't relate to the birth certificate.

Thank you for helping to make the point for HDR.

I'm posting this under "photography" since the weight of a camera seriously comes up far more often with the advent of mirrorless DSLR. And I understand that. But here's a point I'd like to make.

Ten years ago, when I taught and also broadcasted at a local radio station, on one day, I arrived an hour early. The station was on the campus of a local college, with silk smooth private street. So I brought my roller blades, and enjoyed myself before going into the building. I carried them into the studio, to a shocked announcer, 15 years younger, who ask "were you really skating on those?" Yes, was my response. He replied with "I know I'm too old to be skating on roller blades, and you certainly are too old to do that!"

To him I asked: "Did you buy a book on AGES, where each chapter tells you what you can do and can no longer do? And you believe what you read?"

As we grow older, we should not be in a super hurry to stop doing what we enjoy doing, from skating and from carrying a DSLR that we've carried for years earlier. Yes, I've stopped climbing a 20 foot ladder to clean gutters. But instead of using a snow shovel, I now use a snow blower. I'm in no hurry to give into "Mother Nature", only because others might suggest we should. Keep doing what you enjoy. My doctor reminds me that us "older folks" naturally grow weaker with our upper body muscles, and we should actually use those muscles more than before. I think of that every time I pick up my 5DII with it's battery back.

Let's exercise more, not less.

I have read with interest, every message posted. You all put a smile on my face. Why? In my fall physics class, we spend weeks studying light. I begin it be sharing with my students that our vision (all parts as a team) can process an "intensity range" of approximately a trillion-to-one. A camera can process far less, as described in the above posts. The point I'm wanting to make is that all dedicated photographers should consider learning HDR, for it can greatly expand the dynamic range of any camera.

You did an excellent job with the HDR.

Cohappy. Assuming he has made no payment, you can ignore your Craig's listing totally. Then return here and place a fresh SELL listing.

I sold a pricy printer here on UHH, and the total transaction was completed smoothly.

At the university where I teach, there are many photography courses, even including B&W with darkroom experience. Photo software is also taught. If the number of photo majors in my physics class is an indicator of the upcoming future, DSLR users have nothing to fear. There will be plenty of young company on the horizon.
