Slowly returning to the present day reality of life in the Midwest. Spent a great deal of time inside this past week in a learning mode.
Let me explain - the streaming TV service that I use, announced that they no longer support my computer equipment. To continue watching, need to update my computer / software.
Short story - After much searching purchased a new PC laptop running Windows 11 software.
Good news / Bad news - Streaming service returns. My copy of Photoshop is not supported.
Choice 1 - Continue running Photoshop on previous computer and don't use new laptop for photography. Now there are moments when would be nice to edit images on the laptop.
Choice 2 - Select a photography software program that runs on Windows 11. Yes the latest available Adobe software is usable on this software, but it is a subscription service which I refuse to rent / use.
Investigate - Select / install a photo editing program that runs on the new software. Selecting, installing trials and using a variety of options took several hours and days of the week.
Solution - Affinity Photo 2. It offers a very similar workspace to Photoshop with a one time low cost license purchase and long trial period.
Believe that proficiency with this new program will take a bit of well spent indoor Fall / Winter time.
Time for a spot of Midwest. Recently, traveled North to Ohio City, Ohio.
Ohio City, a village in Van Wert County with a 2024 population of 637, has decreased from 651 in 2020.
On the North end of the main street a rather well designed Village Hall.
While, to the South, along the same street
a somewhat different story.
Good to be mentally back in the Midwest. Places to visit, people to meet and photographs to be taken.
