  3. Cloud systems are traps..

    Pure fiction. It has already been hacked. If they were truly concerned about piracy they would not distribute (AVL) volume licensing corporate keys for enterprise packages.. Nearly all the version of all software floating around on the download sites are corporate versions using key gens...
  4. Cloud systems are traps..

    Itis no secret that I disagree with the "cloud". I also understand that is my insignificant opinion,,, I posted that the cloud industry is merely redefining what we already do into the latest fad and charging big bucks for it. My feelings are that once on a cloud you are at the mercy of the...

  6. painting raw aluminum- what to use

    bullcrap Its all over the world. It is the best product to use for raw aluminum. Bar none. It matter not what others said to use,,, but aluminum will tarnish under the paint. Soon the paint will lift and flake off. You must use an etching primer made for it. The holy grail is to use the...

  13. Ok, wtf?

    I agree, dodge and burn are not for what you want. Another idea.. Add another layer and then mask around the darker spots. Reduce the opacity a little with the slider. There are a dozen ways to get what you want using a layers mask.
  14. painting raw aluminum- what to use

    As mentioned above. Aluminum must have an etching primer. That is MUST have it. Zinc Chromate was the standard for generations. Rustoleum has a good primer for aluminum. Moeller does as well. That green that starts to show after you sand a prepainted panel is zinc chromate primer. Yes...
