Digital BW, The Print

While for many there may be negatives to the cloud. For me a moderatley serious hobbyest it allows me to use tools not available in my Elements Lightroom combination and at the current $10 price I am pleased with what is happening. As long as they do small increases in price I will stay. My ISP however went up 133% in one month so I am looking at options so if The Cloud jumps rapidly in price I would probably quit. It is like a magazine I get a great price to sign up then if I stay a "Loyal" subscriber they raise my cost it would seem to me that loyalty should be rewarded not punished. So if CC jumps to $25 or $30 next year hopefully I will have corrected the paralax on all my favorite photos and used any other tools not in Elements or LR.

As mentioned LR keeps improving, and while I do loose bit depth with Elements, for my hobby use I may not see that great a difference. There are excellent add ons and other options available to increase the capability of these programs. They should turn up the heat slowly while cooking this frog or I will hop out of the pot.
