This is another example of deeply yet inadvertent hostile behavior by a tech company towards artists and creativity. It is hard to overstate how much this matters, and is overlooked. I am constantly grateful that I live in a time where I have all these magical creative tools. At the same time, tech companies have a tendency to internalize ignorance about what artists and musicians actually need, and what is nurturing or destructive to creativity. I think the best example of this is the YouTube algorithms that favor frequent uploads for discovery. Probably nothing could be more hostile to human creativity, and I’m not sure it’s purely profit seeking. I think it is actually just ignorance. —edit— Apple has not made it obvious how to back up all the content from your apps, nor has Adobe, nor has either of them made it easy to do it in a non-proprietary fashion. This is anti-artistic. It makes me not have true control over my creations, and this is discouraging and damaging to creativity. —edit2– I believe almost any artist would say: “having control of the durability of my art is extremely important, the latest Lightroom feature is largely insignificant.”
