I always shoot RAW and up until now I always shot with Nokon gear only. Hence I have only used Niks excellent (its a love or hate type of software) Capture NX to process my RAW files. Recently I bought a Fuji X100 so with that I needed to search out a RAW processing program for it. Natural choice was Adobe Lightroom. New version just out, many revisions and also hugely popular.
I installed the demo version and went ahead and learnt how to use it. While it had many features that I would never use, the main thing of converting RAW files worked well and I achieved good results without too much effort. Lightroom though was very slow on my not so new but not so old system. But I could live with it.
I looked at the pricing and in Australia its sold for $187 ex GST (ie download version). In USA its $149. Being an Aussie I get charged 25% over the USA price. Not cool. I tried a quick method to fudge it and "pretend" I am American but that failed. I know I can setup proxies, mail addresses to get around this but I didn't feel like going to these lengths just to buy a product.
In the end I gave up on Lightroom and tried different RAW processors. None really caught my eye too much, plus they were quite expensive. It wasn't until late last week I came across Corel After Shot Pro. Based on the old Bible Pro, I decided to give it a go. Impressive, very impressive. Not as polished as Lightroom, but also not as bloated, and much, much faster. The best bit is that I pay same price whether I am in Sydney, San Francisco or Hong Kong. And the better bit is that the price of $53 USD (using coupon code "ARTCOREL10" for 10% Off ) is about $80 cheaper than the Adobe stuff.
Fail Adobe. And I hope this enquiry will result in some changes. Some Adobe execs need to realise that if you buy a coffee in Sydney they will be charged the same price as the Aussie dude standing next to them or the Chinese woman sitting reading the paper sipping her coffee...
Would stand as a complete figurine at ~10 inches.
Print failed when the X axis belt split and sat printing on Y and Z.

A poorly heated office, led to a power shortage, which led me to working from home today. I'm sure I'm more productive when I work from home. It was certainly warmer here!

This was supposed to be a gingerbread house . . . I failed! After it collapsed, I just more or less threw sprinkles at it.
When you drive a bus full of passengers, it is helpful to proceed with care. Here, the driver failed to do so when the bus crashed & allmost fell off of a bridge.
