Re: OT Laptops and photo editing
Just as a comment, I have a relatively heavy photo load when I'm busy, and I push my devices pretty hard. Much of my decision path was colored by that, and I went with what I thought could handle it. I do not know your needs, and it is entirely possible that what I have would be overkill for you. It's your call. For email, I just use Mail on my phone and haven't decided if I will do that with the iPad yet. Probably not, but we'll see. Browser would work fine, too. There appears to be a Firefox app for iOS, yes. Same for Gmail. Not sure what you need on the folders question, although I do hope you have your photos backed up to at least a couple of external drives in case your desktop goes toes up. That said, there's a ton of options for storing and manipulating photos on an iPad. I think Godders uses a combination of apps along with the Apple Photos software, for example. I have Lightroom Mobile and the Pshop for iPad app, so I can sync up with my desktop easily. Seems like you mentioned wanting to use more up to date versions of both Lr and Ps, so the mobile versions might be the way to go. Maybe not the clarity you hoped for.

Re: Welcome to the twenty effing first Century
Amazon is great for when you can foresee you're going to need SD cards (or whatever form factor your non-Pentax camera uses if you have one) ... B is good too even if a bit pricier.

One sending from Rick; same message ID for both. But by the time they leave smpclient.apple, the ESMTPSA IDs are different. There's a sequence of numbers at the end of the latter ID which go 12.2023.03.06.11.34.18 That is clearly a timestamp. On the other, it goes 120.2023.03.06.11.34.19 There is then a one second difference for the rest of the route until they arrive at me, when they are back in time. -- %(real_name)s Pentax-Discuss Mail List To unsubscribe send an email to pdml-le...@pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
