[halcyon tapir]

like the title says i am using lightroom

[lucid jetty]

oh sorry i didnt see....

i dont use lightroom

[halcyon tapir]

np

[halcyon tapir]

ye i alr thought it but i use it cuz its cheaper

and i used photoshop before

[lucid jetty]

do you have it right now?

btw could you post the image here

[halcyon tapir]

no i dont

[halcyon tapir]

i canceld it cuz it was 22 or 23 usd a month

[lucid jetty]

ill try to just do it for you

can you send the picture?

[halcyon tapir]

one sec

i was trying to crop this and edit this but i am also new at lightroom so not the best at it i rlly like ps but yeah to expensive

oh

[lucid jetty]

so you want the plane?

just the plane right?

[halcyon tapir]

ye

XD

[lucid jetty]

oh ok, then why did you say you wanted quality

anyways just give me a second

guy gave it to me on usb

dont know where he got it from

but anyways

[halcyon tapir]

czu in my country its 26 euro's

[lucid jetty]

this might not be good quality

[halcyon tapir]

ye but ill try

[lucid jetty]

one question tho

i mean im probably just trying to run away from the hard work, but if you can just find the exact model of this war plane

you can go to google and search it while saying "under view"

might get something of wayyyyy better quality

[halcyon tapir]

ye but this is my own picture

i know its bad XD it was far away

[lucid jetty]

haha yeah

[hushed quarry]

Hey Wawsen: Sorry but I'll have to delete your messages about pirated software. You're aware you're on the official Photoshop server right? The one owned by Adobe

[lucid jetty]

let me see what i can do to sharpen it, give me a few minutes!

[hushed quarry]

Anyways, If you have any question about Lightroom OP, I can help

[lucid jetty]

yep, i know, i wont say anything to you deleting haha

shouldnt have said it, i agree 😂

[halcyon tapir]

how do i sharpen an image without it looking unatural

[lucid jetty]

at this point which software do you not use? 😭

[hushed quarry]

Yes, sorry but it's a bit rich there

If people ask questions on an official Photoshop server I guess the minimum is to have a proper licence

[halcyon tapir]

why is photshop so expensuve

[hushed quarry]

OK, I'll be quite blunt here
There is a lot of (sometimes very good alternatives) to Photoshop
My view is that you only need Photoshop if it's your job. I mean it's good to have PS if you can afford it, but not everyone NEEDS photoshop. In my humble opinion, most people coming here (most of them owning a pirated copy) don't NEED photoshop. If you want photoshop then that's another story. But you need to realise that PS is a software for professionals

It can't be free or cheap (and it's cheap enough, it's only £10 per month FFS!)

it's cheaper than Nitro

[lucid jetty]

actually i got mine through turkish, for like 30 euro, the yearly one which i have currently lol

[halcyon tapir]

ye but its 26 euros

[hushed quarry]

I'll have to question why people use pirated copy of a software they don't really need

[lucid jetty]

localized pricing

[hushed quarry]

No it's not

which country are you in?

[halcyon tapir]

belgium

[lucid jetty]

its okay btw you dont need to apologize

[hushed quarry]

OK, let me check

flemish or french or german?

[halcyon tapir]

flemish

[hushed quarry]

bear with me for the flemish

12.09 euros per month and you got PS AND Lightroom

https://www.adobe.com/be_nl/creativecloud/photography/compare-plans.html

[halcyon tapir]

then why is photoshop alone 26 and lightroom with it 12

[hushed quarry]

Because the photography plan is a promo

it's been running for about 10 years now

[lucid jetty]

promo?

[hushed quarry]

If you search for Photoshop online you'll get all options, including the promo

and it's in EVERY COUNTRY that I know of

[halcyon tapir]

oh ok didnt see it

[hushed quarry]

Are you a student?

[lucid jetty]

well anyways, now that you have the pro sandrine here there is no need for my assistance lol, all the best and take care pepperoni!!

[hushed quarry]

if you tell me your country I can send you the link for that promotion too 😉

That way you will have the Gen AI features not like your pirated version

And that includes the AI driven sharpen tool you can have in Lightroom

[lucid jetty]

its okay haha, i have access to turkish photoshop for like....5$ a month something? I honestly dont need the AI stuff currently. I dont even know about lightroom except that its an app (i am actually not even a student at any adobe, self learned completely)

[hushed quarry]

It's not a app it's a proper software

[lucid jetty]

what is the difference between both? like why did they create 2 photo editors

[hushed quarry]

It's a bit like Adobe Camera Raw (that you'll see if you use bridge) but with a File management sytem + plenty of other stuff

[hushed quarry]

Because Lightroom is not only a photo editor, it's first and foremost a software to manage photo assets, and that can also edit photos occasionnaly. You ca use both at the same time

[lucid jetty]

i also never used that and dont know about it 😅

[hushed quarry]

Imagineyou're a photographer managing 1000 images at a wedding. Do you want to grade and retouch 1000's of images in Photoshop? no, so you use Lightroom

[lucid jetty]

i literally only know photoshop, and thats for my instagram stuff

[hushed quarry]

Yes, that's why I question why you need photoshop
You could use the same thing with VSCO. I'm joking, but in a sense it's like saying you need a ferrari to do the shopping

And you stteal the ferrari because you don't want to take the bus

[lucid jetty]

woah, that is actually useful....maybe ill go talk to that turkish guy and see what he can get for this

[lucid jetty]

no i cannot do it without photoshop lol

you should see the work on my page, then you can understand why i chose photoshop as its more professional and the tools are just soooooo much better

[halcyon tapir]

for how long is de promo

[lucid jetty]

let me show you one of my works

[hushed quarry]

anyways @halcyon tapir if you still need help with Lightroom, let me know

[lucid jetty]

forgive me for speaking without knowledge, but i am pretty sure i cannot do this without photoshop

[hushed quarry]

I think it's forever now, it's been active for a good number of years. When I started, I used this subscription because I couldn't afford the full CC

[hushed quarry]

Of course you can! But I'm not going to tell you with what

[lucid jetty]

okay

[hushed quarry]

I could do that with blender, and blender is free

[lucid jetty]

i have to learn from scratch 😵‍💫

[hushed quarry]

Yes that sucks!

[lucid jetty]

this is some reverse psychology motivation you giving me here

[hushed quarry]

I want you to feel challenged!

I mean I am working with photoshop for over 20 years and I'm still learning stuff

[lucid jetty]

20 YEARS?! AND STILL LEARNING?!

[hushed quarry]

as well as learning new software from scartch as well

[lucid jetty]

😨

[hushed quarry]

Of course!

[lucid jetty]

....when does it end?

[hushed quarry]

Photoshop is infinite. There are menus I never clicked on

[lucid jetty]

i actually dont know what to say....its honestly not a good news to hear...

wait @halcyon tapir bro sorry i took away attention from your question

😅

[hushed quarry]

That's what I emphasized it's a professional software, and by professional I mean your aim is to ultimately earn money with it so you don't have to complain about the price . Photoshop is hard to learn and to keep up to date if you want to work professionally, that's the price to pay in the same way it's hard to be a master wood worker or an engineer. No difference

If you think it's easy to master, then you're doing it wrong.

It's also very rewarding when you see your work in a magazine or in an advert.

@halcyon tapir if you're a student, there are even better prices

and if you're a student, there are good chances your school can provide the full CC suite for free to use

[halcyon tapir]

nah no problem man i was afk so it doesnt matter

[halcyon tapir]

i just bought the 12 euro plan with lr and ps but now i want to import a photo but its says a program error

[hushed quarry]

It might be a correupted file, can you open it with something else?

(ie the photos viewer)

[halcyon tapir]

Nvm i alr found it

[manic juniper]

Hey mod I need help yeah i agree with your talk but photoshop is my hobby and doing engineering in CSE now how can I do both engineering and designing together main thing is how can i get clients to work for as if I buy photoshop then I should earn too from photoshop and I even have official photoshop but how to get clients as my main work is not designing

Btw i am good with premiere pro and illustration soon planing to learn after effects

[hushed quarry]

Well, finding clients is probably a discussion for when you have 10 hours of free time

it starts with a portfolio, a CV, A good linkedIn profile with recommendations and examples of what you can do (probably a bit of a social media presence etc)

You can had better advice on the dedicated Adobe Server though.
