I have been looking for some decent software that works on Win 10 and didn't fancy paying nearly £9 a month for CC although its probably the best, and other brand software suites were anything from £50 upwards, and as I am not a pro and neither do I make a living from photography I wanted something easy to use, full of functions and cheap, I tried the free ones, Paint.net, Gimp and a few more and then found Ashampoo photo commander 14 for a discount price of £16
So I downloaded the free trial and fell in love with it, absolutely first class software for this price and does a lot more than I bargained for, is anyone else using it and whats your thoughts on it.
 
I quite like ACDSee photo software, it's not a replacement for photoshop but it's got a lot of good points, it's version of shadow/highlight has a load more options than photoshops.
 
To be honest I don't think paying £9 a month is tht bad considering you get the latest update as soon as it comes out. With others if you want to upgrade to the new version you usually have to pay more for it.
 
£9 P/M is a great deal if you use it enough to justify buying, I don't use my camera enough, I did consider it though, and it great as a pay monthly for pros but not for me who simply wouldn't feel the benefit
 
I use cc and think it a good deal. I'm no pro and really only use lr, but I couldn't afford a one off payment for both or either.
 
If I took the camera out more then I would probably reconsider CC but I am more than happy with what I have now.
 
By the way, I am not knocking CC or any other suites in any way I have CS 4 at home that wont run on my PC or it would be in use, going to install it on the wifes laptop
 
Except when the "latest updates" knacker performance and break essential tools... Sod that for a lark, still on CS5 and will be for the forseeable.
Interested in taking a look at this photo commander though, thanks for the heads up!
 
Heres a screenshot of it Denyer, the functions are so easy to get your head around and to go into full screen with the functions on a ribbon, just double click the image and double click again to go back............that is my bee shot by the way lol

I love photoshop and lightroom, but Adobe are their own worst enemy. Everytime they release an update to fix something they break something else, and customer services are well....Lets be nice and say poor.
Speaking of breaking something else anybody used liquify recently........

Edit forgot to post the fix if your one on the unlucky ones.

Solution
Our engineers are looking into this issue.

In the meantime, there are two workarounds:

  1. Use 8-bit images instead of 16-bit images with Liquify
  2. Disable Use Graphics Processor for Liquify by holding the Option key (Mac) or Alt key (Windows) down as you select the Liquify filter from the filter menu "
