What strikes me is that Mr. Ransley doesn't appear to actually have a
clue how ANY of this software works. Most of them, you have to click
File -> Save, which will simply overwrite your original, or File -> Save
As... to save a new version of it. In Picasa, you don't have to do
anything and your changes will still show up the next time you open it,
or you click File -> Ex****t to save a new copy of the modified picture.
Seems Picasa actually takes LESS interaction.
Last time I checked, Corel (.PSPimage) and Adobe (.PSD) won't open each
other's proprietary save formats either, so with any of these, you still
need to save your work in a common format before the others will open it.
If he's simply overwriting his originals in order to achieve this
magical "intercommunication" with a single Ctrl-S keypress, well... I
think that speaks to the level of intelligence we're dealing with right
there.
