    Has anyone removed Adobe CC completely from their PC?

    How Important is Learning the Science of Light

    What may be more important in practice for a DP (or DoP as we say in the UK) than knowing that light is a form of signal energy, is understanding colour theory. This is something that artists study (some deeper than others) and use in their paintings.
