Lucas Art Pro is out. It’ll cost you nearly 600- bucks though, Yikes!

Online event image hosting and sales… Pictage vs Exposure Manager vs Collages vs Photocart Photocart is something you buy, and then pay no fees. The others charge a continual fee. PhotoReflect was also recommended on the forums.

  1. Over 2 hours!!! I thought something was wrong when I first downloaded the show. I have a very long commute and finally pulled it over to the ipod. If I didn’t have so much time in the car I don’t know if I would have listened to such a long show. C’mon Gavin, you could have edited the DRM portion way down….way…way down.

  2. Hey gavin,
    I totally agree with NO DRM opinion. My company bought a license of MAYA(3d effect software) this was a couple of years ago its was about 40k Dollars since we had it on many work stations. none of the versions worked guess what we had to do? Go online and download the crack since thats the only way it would work.
    SO yes DRM is point less.

  3. Keep it in the forums. I can’t think of one person that likes to rant and rave without getting into a fight. Although we’ve never taken photos of fights, I don’t think I’m interested.

    We enjoy the roundtables. Keep up the good work!

About the Author

Glad you're here.

I'm from WA State USA and started studying photography in 97. I started work as a pro (using that word loosely because I sucked) using film at age 16. I learned fast but was not as easy to find training then. Sometimes I beat my head against the wall until I figured stuff out.

As digital dawned I went all in and got to study with masters like Ken Whitmire. In 09 I founded the Pro Photo Show podcast. I started promoting tone-focused editing. When Lightroom arrived, I started developing tools to make editing and workflow better.

20 years of study and photography around the country earned me a Master of Photography (M.Photog) from PPA. I got to see my workshops and tools featured in publications across the industry. Once I even won the prestigious HotOne award for my "EXposed" light and tone workshop.

Wanting something calmer, I moved to Mexico in 2017. It's a land of magical light. I'm here now exploring light and trying to master my weak areas. I make videos of that for my Youtube channel, sharing what I learn. I hope you'll stick around and be part of Light Hunters Tribe... Gavin
