Lightroom question (Godfrey?)
I discovered I have multiple copies of some pictures in my Lightroom library. The thing is one copy is Dng and the other is Jpeg. I don't want to kill all Jpegs since some pictures are only available in Jpeg. I would simply wanna kill all Jpeg copies which also exist in Dng format. Is there a way to do that in Lightroom or shall I program that myself with mighty Delphi ? Thanks ! -- Thibault Massart aka Thibouille -- Photo: K10D,Z1,SuperA,KX,MX, P30t and KR-10x ;) ...

Re: Today my old friend passed away
Hi, the rope has always two ends :) I wouldn't say this camera is hoplessly outdated and useless even now, when I have had K10D for more than a year. It's a great travel camera, there's no need to worry about weather or humidity. I love a sea and boating, so I need something raher small and waterproof. 4MPix is pretty much the higher limit for zoom optics combined with those tiny sensors. I have tested and reviewed nearly 100 compact cameras last years and always made a comparision shots with 43WR. Yes, there have been some cameras with better picture quality and some with more functionality, but I haven't found any that suits my needs better. I am absolutely ready to get a new compact, but the big question is - which model? I really do hope Pentax introduces new waterproof Optio in very near future. BR, Margus P. J.

Re: OT: The modern world confuses me
As a sometimes Linux user, I agree with Cory re The Gimp. Cinepaint does do 16 bit editing but it has that Gimp interface :-( That *OLD* Gimp interface. It's got GTK-1.x interface as opposed to the Gimpe 2.x stuff with the newer.

Re: OT: The modern world confuses me
Oh, it is possible, but I seriously doubt you were using anything particularly close to a commonly-available X Server. Probably running Matrox cards with proprietary X Servers (which would be necessary to get colour management in X) or possibly a commercial X distribution in its entirety. I'm primarily speaking about any base Linux distro running stock X servers. Maybe so on the proprietary X-server, but regular xorg and xfree86 support color management. About the only thing the OS needs to do is load the VGCT gamma ramp... there are utilities that will do that in X... *with* multiple heads. The other bits of color management are simply providing a means to reference a specific one at the application level. X doesn't support that, but the applications that support color management (like Cinepaint) do. With that, you can soft-proof for you printer on your calibrated monitor, etc. It's tedious, but not a whole lot moreso than just the need to understand profiles and what they do (and *don't*) mean. -Cory -- * * Cory Papenfuss, Ph.D., PPSEL-IA * * Electrical Engineering* * Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University * * -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.

Re: Rechargeable batteries and chargers
I find the Energizer rechargeables to be terrible at holding a charge. (I've tried some Duracells, too, but they appear to be even worse). They're so bad that I too switched to using Energizer Lithiums, but that brings its own set of problems. In my *ist D the initial drain when I first switch the camera on after three days of non-use is so high that the battery voltage drops, causing the *ist D to register 'half power'. I also get that indication (and, in some cases, the 'low battery' indicator) quite often during shooting sessions. I rarely had those kind of problems when I was using my old Ray-O-Vac rechargeables (although in those days I had the battery grip mounted, with batteries in it and in the camera), so when about ten days ago I saw 2500mAh Ray-O-Vacs in the local hardware store I picked up a set to try them out. So far they have been problem free, so I may well pick up another pack or two and switch back to rechargeables. You must have a bad cell in your set of Energizers. I've been using a set of 2500's very happily now... a few hundred shots from them a month after charging them. I've got a LaCrosse BC-900 charger so I can cycle them and see how much they *actually* provide. Highly recommended. One set of 4 batteries I bought had 3 good, and 1 that would only get up to about 1/2 the capacity of others... even after a number of charge/discharge cycles to bring them up. Must be bad quality control on that one. -Cory -- * * Cory Papenfuss, Ph.D., PPSEL-IA * * Electrical Engineering* * Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University * * -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.

Is there a way to do that in Lightroom or shall I program that myself with mighty Delphi ? The problem can be simple or complex to solve depending on the following issues: - whether or not the file names are the same up to the extension (IMGP2002.jpg and IMGP2002.dng, for example, indicate a high likelihood that you have the same image in two different file representations; however, you might have 'birthday-2005.jpg' and IMGP2002.dng which are actually the same image). - whether or not you have edited and want to save a particular JPEG rendering in addition to a DNG rendering of the image at hand (you might have a JPEG rendering which is identical to what you have done to the current DNG, but then again you might have edited one or the other further). - whether the metadata is preserved in your JPEG files. I selected about 800 images drawn from several libraries that I needed to coalesce into the unique files. Try as I might, I could not think of a logical way to accommodate all three of the above issues via scripting alone. What I did was to use Lightroom's Library/Grid view and the metadata browser along with the various Pick and Quick Collection tools to winnow out the unique ones. The methodology I used was multiple passes like the following: - Select all - set the Pick flags to null - set the color labels to none - unselect all - set sort by capture time - use metadata browser to select all JPEGs - set JPEGs to red If the metadata is there in all the files, you can see which have duplicates pretty quickly. Walk through them fast and mark all the duplicates with a Pick flag or put them in the quick collection. Once you've got them in the quick collection, or with pick flags, filter the view to just those, select all. Turn off the filter (the selected ones will be highlighted), invert the selection (you've now got the uniques selected) and create a collection including all the unique ones. Now go to the Quick collection and walk through the duplicates, you should see which are JPEG and which are DNG (or whatever) pretty easily. Mark those which you want to delete from library or disk with a delete flag. When you're sure, use the filtering to get just those up, delete them, and scan through the whole set again to find any other duplications with variant names, etc. My path through this was complicated by the fact that I had not just DNG and JPEGs to sort out but other potential duplicates in TIFF and PSD format as well. It took me a day or so to get that 800 files edited down to the unique and best 460 or so, all in DNG or TIFF/PSD format with the edits I wanted.

Re: K10D ISO Tricks
AV mode. Jack --- George Sinos [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Jack - what mode were you in? Exposure compensation may change the shutter speed, aperture or iso depending on the mode. gs On Dec 31, 2007 6:05 PM, Jack Davis [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Adjusted exposure comp. by -0.5 to reduce the blowout tendency when shooting some bright white objects. Was checking IEIF data, mainly to verify shutter speed, when I noticed the ISO showed as 200 on all images. I checked FN and verified LCD displayed 100. I, once again, OKd the 100 setting. It now showed the set 100. Shot a few more -0.5 images, checked EXIF which now correctly displays the ISO as 100. Anyone else noticed such? Thanks, Jack Never miss a thing.

Re: Peso A special Peso to all of PDML at this time of year
On 31/12/07, David J Brooks, discombobulated, unleashed: Well, the other day we we're watering plants in our summer kitchen window, when Liz turned the afore mentioned Jade plant, 90 Degrees. Well.. I hear a scream, no not from good sex, but from the kitchen. Liz say's, look at these baby's. Again i'm disappointed, no sex, but i managed to get these photos. An almost 20 year old Jade had flowered. None of our jades have ever done this. Sex i have done, but as i say... http://photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=6789512 Nice pic, but what is sex? -- Cheers, Cotty ___/\__ || (O) | People, Places, Pastiche ||=|http://www.cottysnaps.com _ -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
Another Bicycle Shot --PESO
http://www.graywolfphoto.com/digital/_images/Bicycles/Dunelt-20071229c.jpg I kind of like the converging lines in the sky which is why I darkened it down a bit. Not real sure of my monitor calibration yet on the new OS load, so it would be nice if folks would comment on how it looks on their system.
