I predicted that Apple would agree that this was a bug and fix it promptly - i.e. Many professionals were screaming bloody murder. iPhones don't generate video with those high frame rates so Apple never bothered to test it. A while back, Apple rolled out a bug that broke display of media files >= 120 fps. If you are right and I'm wrong, then Apple will fix this bug eventually. ![]() Well then file your bug report using the link I posted above. Whether an "archivist" or a "scrapbook" maker, the problem is the same, and this problem is a glaring bug. If you disagree with Apple, you are always wrong. These are mass-market apps, designed according to the way Apple thinks they should work. Professionals can use these kinds of apps from Apple and other developers, but they have to be careful. The bottom line is that Apple makes mass-market apps. There is a lot of qualitative and subjective aspects of what makes something or someone "professional". What Apple calls "Pro" apps are simply relatively expensive AV media production apps. While people may call themselves professional, that doesn't mean the apps they use qualify for that designation. The number of professional photographers, editors and muscians that use Apple products - even as they come out of the box - is enormous.ĭoesn't prove me wrong. I disagree with you that Apple only provides tools that are "consumer" software. Definitely not the best, but I've definitely seen much worse.Īll that being said, it's definitely not a professional app. It says it doesn't collect any personal information. It doesn't look like a bad little freebie app. The developer is just some person, not a company. The developer's own site doesn't actually list "Paint S". But still, the Mac App Store is a second-party page. In the case of this app, I was able to find it on the Mac App Store. Or if they do, it's just a partial name and there are 72 apps containing that partial name. In many cases, especially with iOS apps, people don't even know the name of an app. If you can't find one, you should consider that a Big Red Flag. Ideally, if you have a question about an app, provide a link to a first-party page about the app. I apologize, the app is called "Paint S". Maybe that's part of their plan? I told 'em I take VISA, Master Card and PayPal if they ever need my help again. To their credit, they stayed in touch until we resolved the problems by reinstalling the whole operating system a few times and hiding my old iMac in the closet so my new one wouldn't keep getting confused as to which one it was! I still subscribe to Apple Care for good reason. Even their senior techs told me they'd never seen this problem before. I had issues out of the box with migrating from my previous iMac to the new one and it took me weeks with Apple Cares to get everything working. I currently have a 2021 iMac with 8 GB memory and M1 chip which is plenty for my needs now. At least I only need Adobe now for my design hobbies and not to earn a living. It sometimes takes Adobe weeks to get compatible with an OS upgrade but of course they'll never admit it's them, sending us Mac users down endless rabbit holes. I still subscribe to the Adobe Creative Suite and that's been a common problem over the last few OSXs. Now it seems like Apple upgrades their OS about every twenty minutes and expect all users and software apps to keep up. Upgrades were not nearly as frequent or necessary but always complicated so I put them off as long as I could without getting too far behind. I ran my ad business for twenty years with Macs up until I retired around 2013. Why on earth has Preview been hampered at working with images downloaded from a website saving in standard formats as JPGs and PNGs? These downloaded images are in formats no different today than they were yesterday.ĭoes Apple despise black-and-white/grayscale images? Does Apple think nobody every needs to work with black-and-white/grayscale images every again? What is going on? The only way for me to work with the images downloaded from these sites is to save as PDF (enormous file, such as 150-170 MB) and then let Preview export to a PNG (idiotic step, still another enormous file, 150-170MB) and then Preview will begrudgingly work with an enormous file - very, very slowly. After upgrading to Sonoma, no longer.įor these JPG and PNG files, Preview refuses to use copy and paste, without giving an error, and when asked to export/save to another format, Preview provides an error ". ![]() Just yesterday, before I upgraded to Sonoma, Preview would work with these images with no issues. These images are scans of newspapers that are downloaded from each site as either JPG or PNG (usually 3-5 MB in size). I work with a lot of images taken from archives, most commonly from or. ![]()
