Free photo software, a rival to Adobe?

 Recently a new software company have launched a Photoshop style free software.  The Photocraft is a Photoshop similar offering, and Lightcraft is their Lightroom similar version.

Still in the very early stages I've tried both and somewhat surprisingly they work quite well.  The company do other versions similar to Premier After effects and Illustrator, although I haven't tried these.

The photocraft version I tried is the portable version, it worked quite well on a small low speck computer, although slow to boot up (30 seconds maybe), once up it worked fine with real time editing.

Keep in mind this is the early release, in a few weeks a more refined version is expected as I understand it.

The operation was a success, the patient died but I got three new bones.

 

Die Hard was a sequel.

 

 You might be surprised to find that the movie die hard is the second film and technically a sequel. The first movie was called the detective and stared Frank Sinatra. 

 Both films were based on books written by Roderic Thorp. The detective being the first book made into a film of the same name in 1968, the sequel book, nothing lasts forever became the 1988 die hard. 

 Due to legal and contractual issues Frank Sinatra was offered the part of John McClane in the die hard film, at 70 years old he turned it down and Bruce Willis was given the part.
