everything possible with photoshop.
I shoot B+W, B+W long exposure, & B+W fine art photography.
I'm looking for input regarding Adobe CC; since that's what is currently available. I am at a point where I want to go to the next level of post processing.
I welcome everyone's advice.
You can still purchase Photoshop CS6, it is still available and supported by Adobe. Try Staples, Amazon, B&H, or Adorama. CC will cost you much much more in the long run. When you stop your subscription you lose access to the software. Remember you files are stored on their servers, which they say you will not lose access and can download a copy at anytime.

I think women should also not be allowed to have babies because it is very hard on their bodies - and it makes their boobs sag and they are not so cute afterwards.
Seriously????
There are many studies that show women's bodies to be stronger and more superior to men's in many ways.
Studies aside, look at the women soldiers in the Soviet army in WWII, they fought as hard or harder than their male counterparts - and often were more brutal.
The experience of the female workforce in America during WWII is another example.
The only change was that the leaders allowed them to work because of wartime necessity.
We could also go back to the pioneers crossing the plains or the women doing the heavy work on farms.
Women will do what they have to do.
The ideal of the weak woman needing protection is and always has been a myth.

Extreme time calls for extreme measures. It is the weak male who needs protection from themselves who are afraid of being Men. I have a sister who was a police officer. She wore the same 50lb belt that the men wore. She had to retire ten years ago because the job broke her body down. You may believe your studies about women doing the same job as men, now that is a myth. The question is, what women's LIB group paid for those studies? You can get anyone to say whatever you desire if the money is right.
Women are not less than men. Men and women are equal as far as their humanity. Their bodies, thoughts, needs, and physical strength are totally different.
The real women that I know probably can protect themselves but they desire to have a real man to protect them.
I wonder why the world is so jack up?! Could it be that men and women or should I say, boys and girls can no longer identify with who they are?

My belief is boys and girls should not play school and college contact sports TOGETHER. Nor do I believe that boys and girls should play pee wee or little league sports together. I also believe that boys, girls, men and women should have their own separate space and clubs. BUT THIS IS ABSOLUTELY WRONG, NO ONE SHOULD MISQUOTE AND MISUSE THE BIBLE IN THIS WAY.

And I am happy to share the "truth" with you sir. The gays I know don't hate or discriminate. The gays I know are good people who do not try to push their beliefs on other people. The gays I know don't tell people they are sinners and they are going to hell for adultery, abusing their wives or children. The gays I know, just want to live happy lives and not have to deal with people telling them how to live. It has come down to you "preaching" about how someone should live their life and you do not have that right. Who tells you how to think and act? Who tells you who to like and who you can be in a relationship with? I'm just curious as to who are the humans that tell you these things? Nobody, that's who. And don't say the "government because that is such a cop out. So, leave it alone and live you life without having to tell others what to do. I find no difference between homosexuals and heterosexuals as individuals. There are good and bad. You are trying to fight a battle that no one but the Lord can decide. That's the whole point. You are so FOR your religion claiming it is the truth, that you are AGAINST anyone who is not. That is not christian. Also, I find it very condescending that you think you have the right to tell people that you are planting the seed of truth. You are preaching. Plain and simple.

1. I do not hate or discriminate against anyone. I am what you call black and I was born in Alabama in the fifties.
2. My daughter who are homosexuals are people - I love them. I do not like the fact that they choose to be with a woman. The Father loves me in and out of my sins. Should I hate my daughters because they choose to go against the Word of God, no indeed? Am I better than God?
3. Sir I am a sinner, every person that walks on this earth is a sinner. Everyone was born into sin. There are no innocent people.
4. I cannot tell anyone to be or not to be in any relationship.
5. I fight against Satan not against people. The fight is not against flesh and blood, this is a spiritual fight. There is a part in this fight that I must do and the rest is left up to the All Mighty.
6. Sir I am not a religious person, I am a believer in the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
7. Everyone has a right to believe whatever they desire. The only thing that I can say is that there is consequences in what we each believe.
8. Sir, a right, no Sir it is an honor to do what the Almighty Father has ask me to do. When someone that you love ask you to do something what do you do?
9. Guilty, I am a preacher and teacher of the Gospel.
Sir you have your belief feel free to express them to anyone, other people have their belief they are free to express them. I, on the other hand have a responsibilities to spread the Word of God.
God bless you and yours.

Do you post as an attempt to promote yourself or your beliefs? In posting do you somehow feel like you are improving your relationships with others or your god? Once you come to the realization that your insignificant life is wrought on archaic beliefs that are no more relevant than the beliefs of the Aztecs will change your attitude or continue as if the fantasies of Christianity were true?
I have nothing to promote, especially not myself. I am a witness for the one who saved me. The Holy Spirit promotes Himself. He knocks, if you do not answer, He moves on the next person. He is always a gentlemen. You and everyone else has a "CHOICE" to believe or not to believe, isn't that great. Peace be with you my Brother.

I understand the point you are trying to make as I am a believer too. However, I see nothing here that that shows Jesus mentioning homosexuality. He certainly does make a point to endorse marriage between male and female.
Once again, what is the benefit to being a homosexual that one would choose to go that direction ?
MALE AND FEMALE. Homosexuality is MAN TO MAN AND WOMAN TO WOMAN.

Sorry sir, no disrespect but the only thing that I believe was truly written by God, was the Ten Commandments. Everything else is subject to interpretation because it was written by men. There is nothing in the Commandments about being gay. And believe it or not, my "gay" nephew follows them to a tee.
Sir, I am only a spokesman for God, no disrespect taken. I am just happy that I can share the truth with you. It is not a mistake today that I had an opportunity to share with you today. I have done what God has asked me to do, plant a seed. The seed of the truth(Word) has planted, someone will come into you life and water that seed, and than God will give the increase. In other words, one day you will truly know God's truth without leaning into your own understanding. God bless you and yours.

Can you show me where Jesus ever uttered one word about homosexuality ? I am straight and find homosexuality to be distasteful, but I do not believe it is a choice. I have had discussions with several gays and they tell me that they have no attraction to the opposite sex.

Do not think that I have come to abolish qthe Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but rto fulfill them. 18 For truly, I say to you, suntil heaven and earth pass away, not an iota, not a dot, will pass from the Law until all is accomplished. 19 tTherefore whoever relaxes uone of the least of these commandments and teaches others to do the same will be called least vin the kingdom of heaven, but whoever does them and teaches them will be called great vin the kingdom of heaven.

There you go again, spouting as if you are the only one who knows the truth. You don't, I don't. You equate right and wrong with truth and lie. They are not the same.
I am a believer, I believe that Jesus Christ died on the cross. I believe that God raise him on the third day. I believe that Jesus returned to the Father. I believed that he sent the Holy Spirit back for us. I believe that the Holy Spirit guides those who believe to the truth. So do I know truth, yes. I also know the difference between right and wrong.
God is a true gentleman, who allows us to choose who we serve. We can serve Him or we can serve Satan. In saying this, everyone has a choice to sin if they desire, but there are consequence for each who sin.
There are some who choose to sin by doing unnatural acts, like having sex with the same gender, or killing people, being an alcoholic, committing adultery, selling drugs, etc. This is the truth. It is also the truth, if those who choose to commit sin and do not repent, they have made another choice.
Yes Sir, I indeed know the truth and now so do you.
