    Forum Name Change?
    I'm seriously thinking about changing the name of the Digital Imaging and Computers forum. I think "Photography Software & Digital Imaging" would be much better. I think people would understand that name better and that forum might get used more.

    Comments?

    No comma. "Photography Software" and "Digital Imaging." They're somwhat redundant. But most of the questions have to do with software and post-processing techniques. However, I still want a place for people to discuss printing, scanners, storage, etc. I don't think we can support a separate printing forum or dedicated imaging hardware forum right now. But I see a lot of software questions ending up on other forums. And I wonder if renaming it might not help people post better, and maybe even bring in new users.

    I also think a name change would be beneficial, as the proposed name name has a sharper focus :p. I would even suggest Photography Software, Digital Imaging and Printing.

    I wonder if the word "photography" is even redundant? I prefer saying things in as few words as possible.

    Sometimes.

    Done
    The new name for the forum is Photography Software, Printing, & Computers.

    Now since we're on the subject, how many of you using Photoshop, Lightroom, or other photography software have yet to post reviews. We need more software reviews!

    Write A Review >>

    Thanks!
