Re: OT: What to put on RAMDisk for LR ?
IMHO, 4GB of RAMDisk cannot generate any serious benefit for LR. Sorry, Igor. On Tue, Sep 3, 2013 at 6:54 PM, Igor Roshchin s...@komkon.org wrote: Hi All, By virtues of various mishaps and troubles, my laptop ended up having 8GB of RAM. However, it has win7-32bit system, which without special hacks cannot address more than just under 4Gb of RAM. Those hacks while working for some setups, seem to be having problems with the HD graphics drivers for Win7 from Intel (and my graphics card is from Intel). http://wj32.org/wp/2011/02/23/pae-patch-updated-for-windows-7-sp1/ (and there are couple of others). So, the alternative way of using that extra memory is to create a vritual drive in the memory. One example would be RAMDisk: http://memory.dataram.com/support/ramdisk-support-center/ramdisk-product-support-faq This way, I could have 4GB RAMdisk partition, which presumably is about 10 time faster than the SSD I have (~5000 MB/s vs ~400-500 MB/s) So, my question is: if I wanted to speed up LR on this laptop, what should I put on that RAMdisk partition? I can see two possibilities: 1. LR catalog (this would probably include the previews? I am not aware how I could have the catalog and previews on different drives, could I?) 2. The current photo collection. If it is #2, the procedure would have to be as follows: a) From within LR move the imported collection to RAMDisk. b) Work on it. c) Move it back. (This way I don't need to find it.) Is there a better way of accomplishing that? Any other ideas? Igor PS. No, 64-bit OS is not an option at the moment.

Re: September PUG - 'Long Exposure' - is up
No reflection on you Brian, you're work is highly appreciated, but perhaps you should re-institute the open gallery portion of the PUG. I didn't really have a long exposure image I thought was worthy, so I didn't submit anything, but that doesn't seem to have stopped everyone. This one http://pug.komkon.org/13sep/slides/JK-pentaxlongexpo.html violates the basic requirement of this month's theme. It's a pretty picture but it ain't no long exposure, nor is it even a cleaver such as this http://pug.komkon.org/13sep/slides/RW-NewHampshire-8-13-27.html a photograph of the results of long exposure, damn, I wish I'd thought of that. It's a nice gallery though. I'm impressed by all of the images, even the one that doesn't really belong.

The second photo is a group portrait from a few days ago. The technology was a little different. Digital camera, multiple remote flashes, softbox, and more stuff I didn't have when the first photo was taken. The technology changed a lot but the most important thing to me is how the kids have changed. The little one, of course, wasn't even born when the first photo was taken and the two older kids are well into their teens.

Re: September PUG - 'Long Exposure' - is up
I have a question for John Sessoms: John, you wrote for your photo: This is not an HDR image. It is a blend of 4 exposures 2 sec to 45 sec using layer masks blend modes. How is it different from HDR? As I understand this description, you used 4 different length exposures and combined them in one images. Just because you were not using a program/module that is called HDR, but rather implemented the same functionality manually, it doesn't change the essence of the process. IMHO, there is nothing wrong with the HDR process itself. What sometimes is wrong (or rather not even wrong, but just not tasteful, which is by itself subjective) is how some people use it. I see that some people run away from labels that developed some stigma, just because of the labels, not because of what is behind them. Unless I misunderstood you, it is a similar situation here. Classic example is that MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) which is based on NMR (nuclear magnetic resonance) does not have the word nuclear in the name, so that people are not afraid to do it. [BTW, it has nothing to do with the context of nuclear reactions, which people are so scared about. Unlike in nuclear reactions, nuclei used in NMR are stable and do not change.] Igor -Original Message- From: Brian Walters Sent: Wednesday, September 04, 2013 3:19 PM To: Pentax-Discuss Mail List Subject: September PUG - 'Long Exposure' - is up G'day all Another enjoyable gallery with some outstanding work.

In exposure fusion, the pixels in the output image are a weighted average of the pixels in the input image (with weights varying from pixel to pixel), but exposure fusion algorithms don't need to know the quantitative relationships between the exposures... they can just prefer to weight pixels that are well exposed (i.e. near the middle of the LDR exposure range). What I was trying to do was something I could do years ago with Cibachrome, where I could combine two or more slides by making masks. The mask would only allow light from the part of the slide image I wanted in the final print to reach the paper, blocking the rest. -- 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.

It is a blend of 4 exposures 2 sec to 45 sec using layer masks blend modes. How is it different from HDR? As I understand this description, you used 4 different length exposures and combined them in one images. Just because you were not using a program/module that is called HDR, but rather implemented the same functionality manually, it doesn't change the essence of the process. It's not HDR because I didn't use HDR it's not tone-mapped. There's nothing wrong with HDR per se, I just didn't use it. Mainly, I didn't use HDR because I couldn't get it to do what I wanted it to do in this image, i.e. not look like it was HDR. It does still look kind of HDRish, and to the extent it does, I'm not happy with it. IMHO, there is nothing wrong with the HDR process itself. What sometimes is wrong (or rather not even wrong, but just not tasteful, which is by itself subjective) is how some people use it. I see that some people run away from labels that developed some stigma, just because of the labels, not because of what is behind them. Unless I misunderstood you, it is a similar situation here. Classic example is that MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) which is based on NMR (nuclear magnetic resonance) does not have the word nuclear in the name, so that people are not afraid to do it. [BTW, it has nothing to do with the context of nuclear reactions, which people are so scared about. Unlike in nuclear reactions, nuclei used in NMR are stable and do not change.] Igor -Original Message- From: Brian Walters Sent: Wednesday, September 04, 2013 3:19 PM To: Pentax-Discuss Mail List Subject: September PUG - 'Long Exposure' - is up G'day all Another enjoyable gallery with some outstanding work.

The fun it keeps on happening
I had been discussing the various options for upgrading the computer I use for processing photos, with the hopes that I'd have time and money to do something about it sometime in the next month or two. The psychic abilities of computers are often amazing. Monday evening, it crashed hard enough that I had to power cycle it. Yesterday morning, it did it again. Yesterday evening it did so twice. It's a weird crash because the cursor is still active, but less and less functionality is available. It'll answer pings, but I can't ssh in. Unfortunately, mac doesn't have the equivalent to the linux ctrl-alt-F#, where you can switch to various virtual terminals and log in with a shell prompt. It may be a software issue, but I don't have time to wrestle with it. It looks like a new computer is in my near future. -- Larry Colen l...@red4est.com http://red4est.com/lrc -- 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.

There's a very similar hang that happens to my two iMacs once in a while that involves the GPU crashing. That causes the screen to become unresponsive while the rest of the OS is still running. I can generally ssh in, check the logs and reboot it cleanly, but if enough other stuff hangs on the video driver then even ssh or disk accesses will freeze. Judging by reports I've read it seems to be a design fault wrt the video interface and has never been fixed. It occurs on my wife's iMac more often than mine and fortunately it's pretty rare.

Re: PESO fourth grader
Thanks Bruce. i shot about a dozen pics of Grace yesterday morning, and I was surprised to discover that about half of them were objectionably soft and many were at least a little soft. Checked my DA* 16-50/2.8 against a brick wall this afternoon at f2.8 and discovered that the focus field is off kilter. When the right side of frame is in focus, the left side is seriously out of focus. That's the same problem that plagued early samples of this lens. I had sent my first one back immediately after I purchased it, and BH replaced it with this one. I checked it when it was new, and it was right on. I'm quite sure it continued to be right on over the last few years. But two weeks ago, when shooting the dream cruise, I took a nasty spill. I held the camera and mounted DA* 60-250 aloft, and they seemed to have come through unscathed. But the 16-50 was in a lens bag hanging from a strap on my shoulder. It looked fine but may have taken a pretty nard hit. In any case, it's off to CRIS for re pair. I count it as an unavoidable maintenance expense, but I hate to be without it. I'll have to get by with the DA 12-24 and FA 35/2. Could be worse I guess. Paul On Sep 4, 2013, at 6:52 PM, Bruce Walker bruce.wal...@gmail.com wrote: A very high wattage smile, Paul.

Re: September PUG - 'Long Exposure' - is up
Quoting P.J. Alling webstertwenty...@gmail.com: No reflection on you Brian, you're work is highly appreciated, but perhaps you should re-institute the open gallery portion of the PUG. I didn't really have a long exposure image I thought was worthy, so I didn't submit anything, but that doesn't seem to have stopped everyone. This one http://pug.komkon.org/13sep/slides/JK-pentaxlongexpo.html violates the basic requirement of this month's theme. It's a pretty picture but it ain't no long exposure, Yeah. Of course it's not my role to decline to accept images unless they violate the rules. Whether an image conforms to the theme is a matter for the photographer but, if I had taken more notice of the Exif, I probably would have questioned this particular one. As for the monthly Open Gallery, the problem is that it wasn't being supported. Over the past couple of years, the number of Open Gallery submissions rarely exceeded two, and more often it was one or none. I think most people just prefer to submit non-themed images as PESOs. Including the monthly Open Gallery complicates the gallery generation process - not insurmountably, but enough to be tedious for so few submissions. However, I'm intending to include an Open Gallery as one of the themes for 2014. Cheers Brian ++ Brian Walters Western Sydney Australia http://lyons-ryan.org/southernlight/ nor is it even a cleaver such as this http://pug.komkon.org/13sep/slides/RW-NewHampshire-8-13-27.html a photograph of the results of long exposure, damn, I wish I'd thought of that. It's a nice gallery though. I'm impressed by all of the images, even the one that doesn't really belong. On 9/4/2013 9:19 AM, Brian Walters wrote: G'day all Another enjoyable gallery with some outstanding work. Thrainn's 'Strips of green LEDS' is probably the most visually stunning and innovative while Rick's 'On Main Street' provides a different take on the theme.

RE: Are these images iconic?
Have to agree with you on several points, John. It is a very America-centric list, but I guess that is not surprising given the source. I'll forgive them that. Many of the photos are truly iconic, but a surprising number fall flat in that regard. They may have been newsworthy but hardly iconic and certainly not even interesting. The ones I would count as iconic are photos that are great without knowing the context. One needn't know anything about the circumstances surrounding Lange's Migrant Mother, Karsh's Churchill, Capa's Death of a Loyalist Soldier or Ut's photo of Kim Phuc to feel how it resonates and conveys great emotion. Knowing the circumstances only enhances our appreciation. Knowing they may have changed history elevates them even more. But to be iconic one must at least start with a great photo. Too many of these photos don't even get out of the starting gate. Cheers, frank John Coyle jco...@iinet.net.au wrote: I would not include about half of the shots.
