Why, he&#8217;s been working on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.reaper.fm\/\">REAPER<\/a>, which is a <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Digital_Audio_Workstation\">DAW<\/a> that literally kicks Sony&#8217;s Acid Pro out of the water. The evaluation version is fully working: a non-commercial license is 50 USD.\n<\/p>\n<p>People who do photography know that the software that helps you develop those raw digital images into more pleasurable photos is quite expensive. On the Windows platform, I&#8217;ve resorted to <a href=\"http:\/\/ufraw.sourceforge.net\/\">UFRaw<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.gimp.org\/\">The GIMP<\/a>. UFRaw does an excellent job if you&#8217;re looking for an open-source photo development work-flow program: it comes with the usual glitches like options that are there but you can&#8217;t find at the first glance (like rotation and cropping). Obviously, since UFRaw is (both) a GIMP plugin and a stand-alone application, you can send images directly to GIMP.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It seems like &#8216;Are you using FF3?&#8217; has become the most important Internet question today.
