Re: Watch that white balance, folks!
Godfrey DiGiorgi wrote: What's white balance? Better called white point. I disagree, that confuses the nomenclature. White point and black point, in the context of image processing and adjustment, are the limits at which you place the exposure values beyond which values are saturated and zeroed, respectively. White balance is where you place the white color temperature. White point is the white color temperature setting in the context of a monitor calibration and color space profile. The use of this expression is pretty specific. Godfrey Precisely stated and correct. The words we put together in a descriptive phrase ARE important, technically speaking.

Dude, I host from my home server using copermine too. But I use jpegs and no one here complains about performance of my DSL service. Guess what? It's the freaking interweb and with web-sized images jpeg lossy compression doesn't mean much. I've not complained but mentioned a couple of times that I can't see your site at all. I'd like to because people generally react very positively to your photos. I didn't realise you were hosting it yourself.

Re: Super A blocked
Hi, the batteries are fresh, but nevertheless I loaded a new pair, whithout improvement. Note that there's still metering information on the display: the camera behaves just as if it is not cocked, apart from the fact that the winding lever cannot be advanded. Anyway, the old, trustworthy Spotmatic F is backing up, so I'm OK. Groeten, Vic Adam Maas wrote: Before you do anything else, replace the battery.

Perhaps you have not had the experience of having somebody you know wither away and die from cancer. If that's true, you've been very lucky so far. I hope that luck holds out for you. If you have, then I would say that you are possibly the most insensitive person out there. I try really hard not to get swept-up in the average flame war. We have many people on this list from all over the world. Most of the regular posters are quite easy to get along with. True, some are more work to deal with but they generally have some redeeming qualities that make the work worthwhile. Many of us have been coexisting here for a very long time. You need to go back from whence you came and learn how to get along with people. Your redeeming qualities have so far remained quite hidden. Maybe you're not as difficult in person but your internet bravado isn't endearing at all. Please make some attempt to get along with people or hit the road. When you've gathered what it takes to be part of a community, you're welcome to return to talk about cameras and pictures. This isn't really a personal thing.

Paul -- Original message -- From: Polyhead [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Sat, 22 Dec 2007 21:07:06 + I was a pretty big mac guy at the time of the clones. As I recall they primarily killed the clones because they were losing their shirt by the clones cannibalizing their marketshare. Clones were very price-competitive with PC's at the time especially on the high- end. Apple's high-end machines have always been priced very high (and generally not perform to match the price). They've always made their money on hardware, not software but their software is what makes them unique. As far as the incompatibilities, that's the way PCs in general are when you don't have control over both the hardware and software. Look at winders. I'm still anxiously watching to see how the Hackintosh stuff pans out. (running MacOS-X on non-Apple PC's). Since I worked at Apple during the period that the OS/hardware licensing program was created and implemented, and worked extensively with both the Apple engineering/support and third-party manufacturer teams involved, I have a perhaps unique and more knowledgeable perspective on these issues than others on this list. Way way way too much to describe it all here... Succinctly: - Some of the third party manufacturers had some very very good designs in mind, none of which ever went to market although prototypes were made and shown. - Most of what did get to market were OK machines, some with very good performance surpassing what Apple was making at the time. But most often they got their price advantage by using inexpensive components and suffered higher failure rates than what Apple was building. Apple, even in those days at its nadir with profitability and survivability sliding down the tubes faster than you can say Bankrupt! with only very rare exception built systems with excellent reliability and quality components. (One of the exceptions was the PowerBook 5300 ... an amazing tool to export profit out of the company through warranty repair...) - The biggest issue with the Apple license and deliverables, technically, was that it constrained the 3rd party developers too much to innovate and build anything that was truly innovative and useful. Mac OS versions prior to the existence of Mac OS X was extremely tightly bound to the specifics of the Apple ROM and Motorola ... there was really no good way to do anything much different from what Apple did and make it compatible. - The Apple Mac OS Licensing program was a failure. It did not expand the market share of Mac OS, it did not improve profits to Apple Computer (it has been estimated that every license-based system sold cost Apple Computer $300-400 in lost revenues ... and that's not accounting for the cost derived from cannibalizing Apple sales!), it did not generate good will in the hardware/software vendor development community, and it ended up stranding a whole lot of Apple customers with dead-end machines that failed rapidly and unrepairably. It ended up costing Apple even more money when SJ correctly killed it, paying the license reimbursement and termination penalty fees in full to the licensees. But killing it was the right thing to do. The subject of OS licensing has a long and bitterly fought history at Apple. I won't articulate my position on it as it doesn't matter at all (of course I have an opinion...), but when all is said and done, they must be doing something right to have gone from less than 6 days of operating capital and $4.32 a share at the bottom in 1997 to having $5 billion plus cash reserve and a thrice-split stock price at $193+ in 10 years. Apple hardware today is the best it's ever been and a good value for dollar. The fact that you can use it to run three operating systems (Mac OS X, Linux and Windows), all with screaming performance and high reliability, makes it unique in todays computer market. Mac OS X today is a very strong, robust, richly featured operating system, designed and implemented for at least a twenty year development life. I see absolutely no point to the hackintosh stuff. It was *easy* to run Mac OS X on generic Intel PC boxes when we were building it ...

Re: GESO: Frozen fog and spider webs
Boris Navigation is an option. The gallery plays all the shots in random order, all you need to do is watch :) Maybe I change it to sequential. If you want to stop the autoplay sequence, click on any of the thumbnails or any button to the left and right of the thunbnails. After that navigate with the icons below the picture or simply with the left and right arrow keys of your keyboard. Yes fog can freeze ;). I have never seen frozen fog like this.

Re: PESO Revision with Rick-Sized Verticals :-) and Thanks
Boris: Truth be told, I don't know which version I like best (original tone or BW), but I was struck by the results of the BW suggestion tried it went with it. Amazing thing about digital, easily going back forth and all. However, the most important point of this exercise was learning about verticals learning how to fix them in PS Elements, getting feed-back, et al. I think once I get a photo-dedicated printer I'll make better decisions about how to revise my shots. I see very few of my photos in print; I've used some online services, but a friend printed a few of my prints on his Epson 2400, and I soon realized I need/want a printer. Probably in the end, I'll go with something closer to my original tone.

Re: PESO: Floating on Lilies
The lighting works for me. It's the same equation as a backlit model illuminated by a reflector next to camera.

Re: PESO - Hopeful
For the target audience (parents of the little league baseball player) there is more than enough context for them. Simply the uniform and helmet do that. This shot is one of about 10,000 taken during the season of lots and lots of kids. Trying to cover 44 teams in a very short period of time requires shooting in less than ideal lighting conditions. I think it portrays the sentiment in the child as is. I'll relook at the sleeve issue to see if it can be improved - most likely can as these are all shot in raw and then converted fairly quickly with very little manipulation. Thanks for your comments. -- Bruce Sunday, December 23, 2007, 8:58:43 AM, you wrote: BL Cotty, you're so right ;-).
