It sorta works. Some of the time. If you let it constantly update itself every
few weeks. If you don't need to do something that worked in the last version
that Adobe has meanwhile pulled out.
It also brings my computer to a screeching halt. If Acrobat Reader is running,
I can't have a photo editor or 123,456 web browser tabs open. Unlike Preview,
PDFPen, and a host of other programs that are compliant with the PDF "standard"
that Adobe published, then violated.
I vastly prefer filling out PDF forms using Preview. It's small and
lightweight. Other programs don't even notice it's running. But it won't show
PDF forms newer than those created by Acrobat 11.

Awesome! I know you need your gorilla, and I'm not trying to take it away from
you. What I (and dare I say, most photographers) need is more like a bonobo,
though. Love me and do enough that I can get my (less-demanding) job done
quickly and with minimum computing resources.
The last time I used PS/LR, it did indeed feel like a gorilla was sitting on my
computer. To make it work, I had to quit ALL the other apps I generally keep
running. I prefer someone who plays well with others to a gorilla who comes in
and takes over, Trumping everything else.

Bet it would! Unless you're driving something older than 1996, *all* diesel
vehicles meet the European fuel standards that require compatibility with
biofuels. (US automakers got their congressional lackeys to defeat the mandate,
but they didn't want to set up a separate manufacturing line to save ~$100 on
their domestic vehicles, nor give up the ability to export to Europe, so they
voluntarily complied after spending millions to defeat the mandate.)

Yea, sorry for not being clearer. You can create your own lens profiles *for
lenses that don't have them.* Like my legacy OM glass. Or any other lens that
doesn't have electronic communication of lens data, like mirrors or Lensbabies
or the new fast manual offerings for Micro Four Thirds like Mitakons and
Voitlanders.
Lightroom and Photoshop are not on the list of primarily open-source image
editors that LensFun creates profiles for. So you're right: I don't have
first-hand knowledge of it not working with LR/PS. I just don't know how to
create and use a profile for a legacy lens that LR/PS will use. If you know
otherwise, let me know!

You're probably an INTJ. Me too. It's just that "what works" for each of us is
different. Sorry you took it as a personal attack. I wasn't trying to change
you... as if that were possible... :-)
