Last week I spent most of my free time thinking about switching to a new photo workflow. I pondered hundreds of issues from scalability, ease-of-use, to archival systems, backups, and even touched upon some philosophical aspects of photography and where it’s heading with the tools of trade now at hand.

On this I could write at least 15 pages, perhaps even 30, and it’s not my aim now. I’m an impatient man, if you’re too, read my conclusion:

Whatever the tool, or software, or workflow; in the end it is the content which counts. Not the sharpest photo, not the 20-Megapixel-photo, not the perfect levels/contrast/saturation/hues/white-balance/dynamic-range photograph will ever be the “keeper”. You and I, and the rest of the world, will rather give preference to a photo that makes sense.

Good luck with taking such pictures! And while I’m at it, all three programs are incredible titans in their own ways. Congratulations to the developers–they have done an astonishing piece of work!
